    Capturing the potential of carbon dioxide | Chemistry World

  • Capturing the potential of carbon dioxide | Chemistry World - Carbon dioxide is a problem. As a greenhouse gas it contributes towards global warming, and its ever-growing concentrations in the atmosphere are cited as a cause of anthropomorphic climate change. But now a team of researchers from the University of Bath have opened up the idea of using carbon dioxide as a useful potential feedstock; a useful chemical resource rather than a troublesome waste product.(10.1039/c3cy20854k)

    Sunlight yields more efficient carbon dioxide to methanol model

  • Sunlight yields more efficient carbon dioxide to methanol model - In a method that is more efficient and inexpensive than current models, researchers are using carbon dioxide, copper oxide nanowires and simulated sunlight to create methanol.(10.1039/C2CC38068D)
