Carbon dioxide

A tough yet thin coating for functionalised copper catalysts offers a performance boost for carbon dioxide-to-ethanol conversion.

A simple yet effective solid-state design for acidic electrolysers solves a dilemma in atmospheric carbon conversion for industrial use.

Life cycle assessments show that a technology that captures waste carbon dioxide and turns it into sand may help Singapore reduce its carbon emissions.

Defects are not necessarily bad; researchers have used them to improve the ability of molybdenum oxide thin films to capture CO₂.
