Nanoparticles
Copper and its alloys are applied in the future as powerful catalysts due to their high ratio of surface-to-volume, and lower cost compared to noble metals. Copper is one of the few metals that can convert carbon dioxide (CO2) in methane or methanol.
NCu are a powerful catalyst due to their high surface-to-volume ratio and their ability to give and capture electrons in an orderly manner, interacting with light, molecules, viruses and bacteria.
The nanoparticles of copper
- Nano Copper, NCu, non-oxidized metal has emerged as a powerful redox catalyst.
- University of Toronto scientist Dr. John Polanyi, Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry and catalysis specialist, has validated the exceptional properties of metallic NCu, whose performance surpasses that of other nanoparticles.
- Experiences with NCu added to different groups of fuels, both solid and liquid, have significantly improved combustion performance, power and emissions.
- Researchers at Berkeley Lab have made real-time movies of copper nanoparticles as they evolve to convert carbon dioxide and water into renewable fuels and chemicals.
The science speaks for itself
CuPRO is one of the few manufacturers in the world that produce substantially OXIDE-FREE nanocopper.
