Affordable Materials Turn Waste Carbon into High-Energy Compounds

Carbon Capture, Material & Energy / Valeriano Ndeyi

Converting waste carbon into valuable products is essential for sustainable manufacturing. We can recycle carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide and then convert it into energy-dense compounds using electricity. However, current systems rely on anion exchange membranes that degrade over time when exposed to organic substances, reducing their overall efficiency. Low-Cost Diaphragms Offer Efficient Alternative for
