Benefits of technology

This patented technology uses a combination of materials called Foams (foamed metals) with tiny holes that act like cathodes. These composites can be made by sputtering thin layers onto an aluminum sheet. They have excellent properties such as high electric conduction capacity, increased efficiency towards reduced CO2 production when reacted chemistryally. Additionally, they provide unique surfaces where certain chemical reactions occur more efficiently than others due to their small size and large number of atoms attached to them. By loading these components into this new type of material, it becomes possible to create complex structures containing multiple different types of molecules. Overall, this innovative design improves the performance and usefulness of ElectroChemica Actuators (ECA).

Problems solved by technology

Technologies aimed towards converting greenhouse gases like C02into valuable products include various processes that involve reducing it by reacting them chemistry reactions under specific conditions called regenerative cycles. However, current technics require expensive metals or complex materials due to limitations associated with environmental concerns. Therefore, new alternatives must emerge through discovery efforts focused on developing highly effective catalysators capable of efficiently decompositing atmospheric pollutants like carbon monoxides without generating harmful substances during combustion process.
