"We wanted to think about a carbon capture material that was derived from sources that were really cheap and easy to get," said Professor Jeffrey Reimer, one of the corresponding authors of a new ...

In a new study, experts used a cheap polymer known as melamine to create a low-cost, simple, and energy-efficient way to capture carbon dioxide from industrial smokestacks. Capturing carbon dioxide, a ...

Today, the dominant, though energy-intensive method for capturing carbon dioxide for storage involves bubbling industrial emissions through liquid amines. MOFs and other porous materials are promising ...
