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 ...

Earlier this year, scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, filled a device with bright-yellow powder, connected it to a tube, and stuck the tube through the wall of a lab. Over the next ...

Researchers have expanded the potential of carbon capture technology that plucks CO2 directly from the air by demonstrating that there are multiple suitable and abundant materials that can facilitate ...

Membrane contactors have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional carbon capture systems by marrying the high selectivity of liquid absorption with the compact modularity of membrane ...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientist, Charles Seipp, is one of many working to find chemicals that capture carbon dioxide readily and release it with relatively ...

What if the chemical that makes your jeans bluer could help make carbon capture greener? Over the past few years, Yayuan Liu, an assistant professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular ...

The imperative to mitigate climate change has spurred extensive research into carbon dioxide capture technologies. Among the most promising strategies is the employment of carbonic anhydrase (CA), a ...

Using nanoscale filtering membranes, researchers at MIT have added a simple intermediate step that makes the process of removing carbon dioxide from the air more efficient. Removing carbon dioxide ...
