Asst Prof Lum Yanwei , Dr Wang Bingqing , and Mr Wang Meng from NUS Dept of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering have developed an energy-efficient, cost-effective way to convert carbon dioxide from flue gas into value-added chemicals and fuels. This reduces the cost of conversion by 30%.
The team was led by Assistant Professor Lum Yanwei from the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering under the NUS College of Design and Engineering. "Our novel technique demonstrates a potential pathway for the development of efficient electrolysers for the direct conversion of CO2 in flue gas, using simple yet effective electrolyte and catalyst design strategies to advance integrated sustainability solutions," he added.
