MIT engineers make converting CO2 into useful products more practical

As the world struggles to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, researchers are seeking practical, economical ways to capture carbon dioxide and convert it into useful products, such as transportation fuels, chemical feedstocks, or even building materials. But so far, such attempts have struggled to reach economic viability.

New research by engineers at MIT could lead to rapid improvements in a variety of electrochemical systems that are under development to convert carbon dioxide into a valuable commodity. The team developed a new design for the electrodes used in these systems, which increases the efficiency of the conversion process.

The findings are reported today in the journal Nature Communications, in a paper by MIT doctoral student Simon Rufer, professor of mechanical engineering Kripa Varanasi, and three others.

“The CO2 problem is a big challenge for our times, and we are using all kinds of levers to solve and address this problem,” Varanasi says. It will be essential to find practical ways of removing the gas, he says, either from sources such as power plant emissions, or straight out of the air or the oceans. But then, once the CO2 has been removed, it has to go somewhere.

A wide variety of systems have been developed for converting that captured gas into a useful chemical product, Varanasi says. “It’s not that we can’t do it — we can do it. But the question is how can we make this efficient? How can we make this cost-effective?”

In the new study, the team focused on the electrochemical conversion of CO2 to ethylene, a widely used chemical that can be made into a variety of plastics as well as fuels, and which today is made from petroleum. But the approach they developed could also be applied to producing other high-value chemical products as well, including methane, methanol, carbon monoxide, and others, the researchers say.

Currently, ethylene sells for about $1,000 per ton, so the goal is to be able to meet or beat that price. The electrochemical process that converts CO2 into ethylene involves a water-based solution and a catalyst material, which come into contact along with an electric current in a device called a gas diffusion electrode.

There are two competing characteristics of the gas diffusion electrode materials that affect their performance: They must be good electrical conductors so that the current that drives the process doesn’t get wasted through resistance heating, but they must also be “hydrophobic,” or water repelling, so the water-based electrolyte solution doesn’t leak through and interfere with the reactions taking place at the electrode surface.

Unfortunately, it’s a tradeoff. Improving the conductivity reduces the hydrophobicity, and vice versa. Varanasi and his team set out to see if they could find a way around that conflict, and after many months of trying, they did just that.

The solution, devised by Rufer and Varanasi, is elegant in its simplicity. They used a plastic material, PTFE (essentially Teflon), that has been known to have good hydrophobic properties. However, PTFE’s lack of conductivity means that electrons must travel through a very thin catalyst layer, leading to significant voltage drop with distance. To overcome this limitation, the researchers wove a series of conductive copper wires through the very thin sheet of the PTFE.

“This work really addressed this challenge, as we can now get both conductivity and hydrophobicity,” Varanasi says.

Research on potential carbon conversion systems tends to be done on very small, lab-scale samples, typically less than 1-inch (2.5-centimeter) squares. To demonstrate the potential for scaling up, Varanasi’s team produced a sheet 10 times larger in area and demonstrated its effective performance.

To get to that point, they had to do some basic tests that had apparently never been done before, running tests under identical conditions but using electrodes of different sizes to analyze the relationship between conductivity and electrode size. They found that conductivity dropped off dramatically with size, which would mean much more energy, and thus cost, would be needed to drive the reaction.

“That’s exactly what we would expect, but it was something that nobody had really dedicatedly investigated before,” Rufer says. In addition, the larger sizes produced more unwanted chemical byproducts besides the intended ethylene.

Real-world industrial applications would require electrodes that are perhaps 100 times larger than the lab versions, so adding the conductive wires will be necessary for making such systems practical, the researchers say. They also developed a model which captures the spatial variability in voltage and product distribution on electrodes due to ohmic losses. The model along with the experimental data they collected enabled them to calculate the optimal spacing for conductive wires to counteract the drop off in conductivity.

In effect, by weaving the wire through the material, the material is divided into smaller subsections determined by the spacing of the wires. “We split it into a bunch of little subsegments, each of which is effectively a smaller electrode,” Rufer says. “And as we’ve seen, small electrodes can work really well.”

Because the copper wire is so much more conductive than the PTFE material, it acts as a kind of superhighway for electrons passing through, bridging the areas where they are confined to the substrate and face greater resistance.

To demonstrate that their system is robust, the researchers ran a test electrode for 75 hours continuously, with little change in performance. Overall, Rufer says, their system “is the first PTFE-based electrode which has gone beyond the lab scale on the order of 5 centimeters or smaller. It’s the first work that has progressed into a much larger scale and has done so without sacrificing efficiency.”

The weaving process for incorporating the wire can be easily integrated into existing manufacturing processes, even in a large-scale roll-to-roll process, he adds.

“Our approach is very powerful because it doesn’t have anything to do with the actual catalyst being used,” Rufer says. “You can sew this micrometric copper wire into any gas diffusion electrode you want, independent of catalyst morphology or chemistry. So, this approach can be used to scale anybody’s electrode.”

“Given that we will need to process gigatons of CO2 annually to combat the CO2 challenge, we really need to think about solutions that can scale,” Varanasi says. “Starting with this mindset enables us to identify critical bottlenecks and develop innovative approaches that can make a meaningful impact in solving the problem. Our hierarchically conductive electrode is a result of such thinking.”

The research team included MIT graduate students Michael Nitzsche and Sanjay Garimella,  as well as Jack Lake PhD ’23. The work was supported by Shell, through the MIT Energy Initiative.

NASA begins new deployable solar array tech demo on Pathfinder spacecraft

NASA recently evaluated initial flight data and imagery from Pathfinder Technology Demonstrator-4 (PTD-4), confirming proper checkout of the spacecraft's systems including its on-board electronics as well as the payload's support systems such as the small onboard camera. Shown above is a test image of Earth taken by the payload camera, shortly after PTD-4 reached orbit. This camera will continue photographing the technology demonstration during the mission.

Payload operations are now underway for the primary objective of the PTD-4 mission—the demonstration of a new power and communications technology for future spacecraft. The payload, a deployable solar array with an integrated antenna called the Lightweight Integrated Solar Array and anTenna, or LISA-T, has initiated deployment of its central boom structure. The boom supports four solar power and communication arrays, also called petals. Releasing the central boom pushes the still-stowed petals nearly three feet (one meter) away from the spacecraft bus.

The mission team is currently working through an initial challenge to get LISA-T's central boom to fully extend before unfolding the petals and beginning its power generation and communication operations.

Small spacecraft on deep space missions require more electrical power than what is currently offered by existing technology. The four-petal solar array of LISA-T is a thin-film solar array that offers lower mass, lower stowed volume, and three times more power per mass and volume allocation than current solar arrays. The in-orbit technology demonstration includes deployment, operation, and environmental survivability of the thin-film solar array.

"The LISA-T experiment is an opportunity for NASA and the small spacecraft community to advance the packaging, deployment, and operation of thin-film, fully flexible solar and antenna arrays in space. The thin-film arrays will vastly improve power generation and communication capabilities throughout many different mission applications," said Dr. John Carr, deputy center chief technologist at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. "These capabilities are critical for achieving higher value science alongside the exploration of deep space with small spacecraft."

The Pathfinder Technology Demonstration series of missions leverages a commercial platform that serves to test innovative technologies to increase the capability of small spacecraft. Deploying LISA-T's thin solar array in the harsh environment of space presents inherent challenges, such as deploying large highly flexible non-metallic structures with high area to mass ratios. Performing experiments such as LISA-T on a smaller, lower-cost spacecraft allows NASA the opportunity to take manageable risk with a high probability of a great return.

The LISA-T experiment aims to enable future deep space missions with the ability to acquire and communicate data through improved power generation and communication capabilities on the same integrated array.

Noisy and labour-intensive factories are now turning into sleek, automated facilities powered by intelligent machines. However, at the very centre of it all is one of the most potent technologies: computer vision. No more the stuff of science fiction; computer vision enables machines to "see" the world, analyse it, and make real-time decisions, forever changing how we think about production. It's an innovation running waves of efficiency and precision inside manufacturing, seeing companies across industries adopt it at a pace like no other. That future of automated factories has already arrived, reshaping industries with advanced solutions in place. What is Computer Vision? Understanding the Basics It is a branch of AI that deals with the interpretation and processing of visual data from the environment by machines. Cameras capture images with the help of sensors from manufacturing production lines. These images are analysed with algorithms to identify defects, quality checks, and optimizing processes. Envision a gadget scanning several thousands of pieces in a minute and pointing out even minute imperfections in their makeup- a thing that is beyond human inspectors' capacity. That would be real-time analysis, making computer vision a game-changer in modern manufacturing. For more about such innovation, please refer to resources by the computer vision development company. Applications of Computer Vision in Manufacturing That area where it can be applied in manufacturing is immense. From quality control to operational optimisation, this technology reaches out to every part of the production process. Visualise a robotic arm constructing intricate pieces with utter precision, assisted by a computer vision that perfectly locates and places each part. Such machines don't just detect errors; they predict them, adjusting operations before minor issues snowball into costly mistakes. Besides assembly lines, computer vision monitors workplace safety, detecting hazards quickly and ensuring that the environments follow safety rules. A mix of efficiency and safety, this already saves industries millions of potential losses while nudging automation into a different orbit. How Computer Vision Enhances Quality Control The most transformative application of computer vision is depicted in quality control. A minor defect can result in disastrous outcomes in sectors where precision calls for paramount importance, like the automotive or electronics industry. Computer vision can examine products in much finer detail than is humanly possible, sometimes identifying anomalies that would never be visible to the naked eye. A computer vision system in the automotive industry might scan car parts as they come off an assembly line, ensuring that every component meets strict quality criteria before continuing further down the line. This automated approach reduces human error and decreases the chances that flawed goods will make it to market, paving the way for a smooth and inexpensive quality control pipe. Machine Learning and AI Integration It is the next level of integrating machine learning with computer vision. Enormous datasets being fed into algorithms will, in time, teach machines to detect patterns and thus gradually improve with every use. This adaptive ability allows the computer vision systems to evolve, making them increasingly effective at spotting defects while further refining the production process. For example, machine learning might enable a model to learn the different defects so that interventions could be more targeted. As AI evolves, vision systems become more autonomous, allowing manufacturers to adopt even more sophisticated self-correcting processes. Challenges in Implementing Computer Vision However, full implementation of computer vision is tricky. The cost of this high-end equipment

is challenging, and integration into an existing infrastructural setup poses a complex activity. Besides, achieving consistent accuracy under different lighting conditions and environments takes time and effort. For the manufacturers, this also requires careful planning on how and where to deploy these systems so that operations are not disrupted. However, innovations within the field address these issues: modern systems are becoming more affordable, adaptive, and easy to integrate into production lines. The wider diffusion of computer vision in manufacturing is becoming possible as these barriers fall individually. The Future of Computer Vision in Manufacturing The future of computer vision in manufacturing holds a lot of exciting things that it promises. While AI-driven systems are evolving, factories may become fully autonomous in the future, where human oversight is needed at minimal levels. These systems will act, learn, and adapt in real-time to redefine what we think is possible in industrial automation. Might this turn into a shift towards «smart factories», a place where machines will act entirely independently and continuously improve their processes? On the other hand, with the growth of automation comes excellent question marks over what this means for the future of human labour. This collaboration of man and machine will likely create new roles, focusing more on overseeing, optimising, and innovating with advanced technologies rather than completely replacing human involvement. Conclusion: Embracing the Automated Future Conclusion: In a time where computer vision played a front-row role in this new industrial era, the revolution manufacturing went through was unparalleled. This technology will revolutionise everything from quality control to production line optimisation, giving machines the capacity to interpret and react to their environment with incredible accuracy. On the threshold of wholly automated factories, manufacturers must stay ahead of these innovations and further train themselves for the change they will bring about in society. The future shines bright with all possibilities opening up, but only achievable with computer vision. Manufacturing is not a future concept; it's here and evolving.
