UC Berkeley Chemists Develop Half-Pound CO₂-Capturing Powder, a Game-Changer in Carbon Absorption
Oct 24, 2024, 01:49 AM
Researchers at UC Berkeley have developed a novel yellow crystalline powder that effectively captures carbon dioxide (CO₂) from ambient air. This innovative covalent organic framework can absorb as much CO₂ annually as a tree, with just half a pound of the material achieving this level of absorption. The reusable material holds onto the captured CO₂ until it can be stored, marking a significant advancement in carbon capture technology. A UC Berkeley chemistry professor described the development as a potential game-changer in the fight against climate change.
