Catalyst-loaded micro-encapsulated phase change material for thermal control of exothermic reaction

Abstract CO2 methanation is a promising technology to enable the use of CO2 as a resource. Thermal control of CO2 methanation, which is a highly active exothermic reaction, is important to avoid thermal runaway and subsequent degradation of the catalyst. Using the heat storage capacity of a phase ch...
