#EESPublishes: Prof Bandosz of @GC_CUNY & @CityCollegeNY on Metal-Free Heterogeneous #Nanoporous C for CO2 #electrochemical Reduction
Professor Teresa J. Bandosz of the GC and City College co-authored an abstract for the ECS meeting entitled Metal-Free Heterogeneous Nanoporous Carbon for CO2 electrochemical Reduction to CO and CH4 in Aqueous Solution. Abstract: Recently, the electrochemical conversion of CO2 has gained a significant attention. It provides a poteAbstracntial solution for minimizing the CO2 concentration level in the environment and also offers an alternative way to convert it to renewable fuels. Various metals (Ag, Au, Cu, etc.) and metal complexes are used as heterogeneous catalysts for CO2 reduction. However, the limitations in their application are in the fact that many polycrystalline metals show a low …

#EESPublishes: Dr#HannesBrueckner of @GC_CUNY @QC_News @LamontEarth on #TvaerdalComplex & #Baltica #SmNd #Zircon
Professor Hannes Brueckner of CUNY GC EES, Queens College and LDEO first authored an article in the Journal of Geology entitled: An Orphaned Baltic Terrane in the Greenland Caledonides: A Sm-Nd and Detrital Zircon Study of a High-Pressure/Ultrahigh-Pressure Complex in Liverpool Land. Abstract: Liverpool Land, at the southern tip of the Greenland Caledonides, exposes a composite metamorphic terrane: the midcrustal granulite-facies Jaettedal Complex tectonically juxtaposed against the eclogite-facies, peridotite-bearing Tvaerdal Complex. The Jaettedal Complex is a Laurentian terrane, whereas the Tvaerdal Complex was proposed by earlier investigators to be a Baltic terrane. PT estimates (880°–920°C at 35–40 kbar) and Sm-Nd mineral …
