Dioxide Materials
Dioxide Materials was founded in 2009 in Champaign, Illinois, and is now headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida. Its main business is to develop technology to lower the world's carbon footprint. Dioxide Materials is developing technology to convert carbon dioxide, water and renewable energy into carbon-neutral gasoline (petrol) or jet fuel. Applications include CO2 recycling,ARPA-E Brief: ''Converting CO2 Into Fuels and Chemicals' /ref> sustainable fuels production and reducing curtailment of renewable energyLori Bird, Jaquelin Cochran, and Xi Wang, ''Wind and Solar Energy Curtailment: Experience and Practices in the United States'', NREL Report NREL/TP-6A20-60983, March 2014 (i.e. renewable energy that could not be used by the grid). Carbon Dioxide Electrolyzer Technology Carbon Dioxide electrolyzers are a major part of Dioxide Materials' business. The work started in response to a Department of Energy challenge to find better catalysts for electrochemical reduction ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

An oxide () is a chemical compound that contains at least one oxygen atom and one other chemical element, element in its chemical formula. "Oxide" itself is the dianion of oxygen, an O2– (molecular) ion. with oxygen in the oxidation state of −2. Most of the Earth's crust consists of oxides. Even materials considered pure elements often develop an oxide coating. For example, aluminium foil develops a thin skin of alumina, Al2O3 (called a Passivation (chemistry), passivation layer) that protects the foil from further corrosion.Greenwood, N. N.; & Earnshaw, A. (1997). Chemistry of the Elements (2nd Edn.), Oxford:Butterworth-Heinemann. . Stoichiometry (the measurable relationship between reactants and chemical equations of a equation or reaction) Oxides are extraordinarily diverse in terms of stoichiometries and in terms of the structures of each stoichiometry. Most elements form oxides of more than one stoichiometry. A well known example is carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.G ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
