New chemistry leads to more robust carbon capture materials

Read the full story from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

In a significant stride toward implementing scalable climate solutions, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists have uncovered how some carbon capture materials have improved lifetime compared to others. These materials are key in addressing greenhouse gas emissions and global warming concerns.

Researchers have shed light on the mechanism that empowers these materials, extending their operational lifespan and effectiveness in capturing harmful carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions. This research is featured on the cover of Chemical Communications.
