Although technologically promising, the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) to produce carbon monoxide (CO) remains economically challenging owing to the lack of an inexpensive, active, highly selective, and stable catalyst. We show that nanocrystalline cubic molybdenum carbide (α-Mo 2 C), prepared through a facile and scalable route, offers 100% s...
Molybdenum carbide catalyst is proposed to be used in a novel downhole upgrading method, called in-situ upgrading technology (ISUT). In this work, this catalyst is assessed for its activity and stability for this process. In an attempt to partially replace hydrogen with steam, as a carbon free source of hydrogen, several experiments under hybrid en...
This work focuses on the obtaining and studying a graphene-supported ceria catalyst by a simple, economic and reproducible method. The catalyst is intended for H2 generation from water dissociation via water gas shift reaction (WGSR). Different characterization techniques were used to obtain the thermal-structural and elemental information of the c...
The current research work contributes one further step in developing the heavy oil in-situ upgrading technique. The experimental work was carried out using a dolomite corepack as a porous medium at temperature and pressure already investigated in In Situ Upgrading Technology (ISUT). Crude oil was saturated in the corepack to simulate the oil in pla...
