Electrified Charcoal Sponge Captures CO2 Directly from Air
London, UK (SPX) Jun 07, 2024
Researchers have developed a low-cost, energy-efficient method for making materials that can capture carbon dioxide directly from the air. Researchers from the University of Cambridge used a method similar to charging a battery to charge activated charcoal, commonly used in household water filters. By charging the charcoal 'sponge' with ions that form reversible bonds with CO2, the r
