Endothermic reactions can be used to store renewable electricity in chemical form.

Abstract
Endothermic reactions can be used to store renewable electricity in chemical form. Here we report on the reduction of CO2 to CO and O-2 using a nanosecond repetitively pulsed discharge at atmospheric pressure. We find that by changing the inter-pulse duration, different values for the CO2 dissociation and energy efficiency can be obtained for the same energy input. This finding opens the way to a better understanding of plasma-based technologies for the valorization of CO2.File in questo prodotto:
