Abstract

A transformative, sustainable technology to replace the age-old CO2-intensive production of iron is presented. Molten calcium inclusive carbonates are introduced for STEP Iron. Understanding the speciation constraints permits iron synthesis at nearly 100% coulombic efficiency, without exotic electrocatalysts, and at low electrolysis energy.
