New kind of catalysts giving new promising possibilities.
Abstract.
Synergy of
(1) New kind of catalysts. It is an reversible circular reaction (catalyst in wide sense), that is added to a target reaction to form a joint process.
(2) Wind and solar energy can be in order of magnitude cheapened. See [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] etc.
For example, the water thermolysis at breakthrough lower temperature is shown just below.
(1) Catalyst: 0.5 N2 + 1.5 H2 = NH3.
Joint target reaction: NH3 + 0.33 (H2O = H2 + 0.5 O2) + 0.5 N2 + 1.5 H2.
dH = 126 kJ, dS = 242 J /mol * K, T > 248 C.
(2) Catalyst: CO2 + H2 = HCOOH - formic acid.
Joint target reaction: HCOOH + 0.4 * (H2O = H2 + 0.5 O2) + CO2 + H2. dH = 32 + 0.4 * 242 = 128 kJ. dS = 214 + 0.4 * (131 + 102 - 180) = 234. dG = 128 - 234 * T < 0, and T > 274 C.
Because all reagents here are circular and practically free, a cost of the hydrogen is equal the cost of energy consumed only.
