Exploring Direct Electrochemical Fischer–Tropsch Chemistry of C1–C7 Hydrocarbons via Perimeter Engineering of Au–SrTiO3 Catalyst (Adv. Energy Mater. 36/2024).

In an article published in Advanced Energy Materials, researchers Chang Woo Myung, Youngku Sohn, and their team explore the direct electrochemical Fischer-Tropsch chemistry of C1-C7 hydrocarbons using Au-SrTiO3 catalysts. They demonstrate the production of long-chain hydrocarbon fuels through electrochemistry, utilizing CO2 and H2O. The researchers predict the underlying mechanism at the interface using density functional theory calculations. This innovative conversion process offers potential for sustainable fuel production under ambient conditions. [Extracted from the article]
