Using light instead of heat, researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found a new way to release carbon dioxide, or CO2, from a solvent used in direct air capture, ...

Rising carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from human activities are the largest contributor to global warming. According to the ...

A laboratory setup shows yellowish and bluish light from two lamps shining on a metallic reactor. Deep-ultraviolet, infrared, and visible light shine on carbon dioxide and methane in a reactor, ...

One way that chemists recycle CO 2 into valuable products is through a process called electrochemical reduction, where a stream of CO 2 gas moves through an electrolysis cell that breaks the CO 2 and ...

Light-sensitive molecules called photoacids could make the process of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere more energy efficient. Researchers are now devising ways to make photoacids more ...

Decarbonizing has become a prioritized mission in many countries and the science community is working on the 'carbon capture' technologies. If the captured carbon dioxide could be converted into ...

Breakthrough study uncovers how photocatalytic and photothermal processes work together, setting the stage for next-generation carbon recycling technologies As global carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions ...

Photocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide to methane offers a promising route for carbon recycling, but its low efficiency ...
