HOUSTON, TX.- Technologies for removing carbon from the atmosphere keep improving, but solutions for what to do with the carbon once it’s captured are harder to come by.
The lab of Rice University materials scientist Pulickel Ajayan and collaborators developed a way to wrest the carbon from carbon dioxide and affix it to hydrogen atoms, forming methane ⎯ a valuable fuel and industrial feedstock. According to the study published in Advanced Materials, the method relies on electrolysis [...]

Carbon capture technologies have been advancing steadily, but the challenge of finding effective uses for captured carbon remains.
Researchers at Rice University, led by materials scientist Pulickel Ajayan, have made progress in this area by developing a method to extract carbon from carbon dioxide and bind it to hydrogen atoms, resulting in the formation of methane.
Methane is a valuable resource used as both a fuel and an industrial feedstock. Their innovative approach, outlined in [...]
