Using pulses of high-voltage electricity
“We're using pulses of high-voltage electricity,” said Northwestern's Dayne Swearer, the study's corresponding author.
“If the electrical potential is high enough, lightning bolts form inside of our reactor the way they do during a summer thunderstorm. We're taking advantage of that chemistry to break methane's bonds without heating the entire system to extreme...
