Jesús Velázquez, assistant professor of chemistry and Louise Berben, professor of chemistry are taking part in a new program to research converting carbon dioxide to fuels and chemicals. The project, ...

The technology developed by the NETL team uses a solar powered reactor and a special form of gold nanoparticles to turn CO2 into valuable chemicals and fuels. It has the potential to help enable ...

New research could improve the efficiency of electrochemical carbon-dioxide capture and release by six times and cut costs by at least 20 percent. Researchers added nanoscale filtering membranes to a ...

April 7 (UPI) --Technologies designed to convert CO2 into biofuels and useful chemicals have mostly been confined to the laboratory, limited in their scale and efficiency -- until now. Engineers in ...

Researchers have developed an encapsulated cobalt-nickel alloy that significantly improves the efficiency and durability of high-temperature CO2 conversion, a promising technology for carbon recycling ...

UPTON, NY--Plants take in energy from sunlight to transform atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) into sugars and then other materials for growth and metabolic functions. Mimicking this photochemical ...

Melbourne, Australia: Researchers in Australia have developed a carbon-conversion technology that could help turn industrial emissions into ingredients for low-emissions jet fuel. The new system ...

Not to put too fine a point on it, but carbon dioxide pollution is an enormous threat to our world. As it turns out, a finer point might be part of the solution. Carbon dioxide—a product of burning ...

Inspired by a scuba-diving spider, researchers have made water-repelling copper electrode surfaces that boost carbon dioxide reduction by trapping the gas in bubbles (Nat. Mater. 2019, DOI: ...
