Research shows improved direct air capture of CO2 using charged molecule layers. Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have demonstrated that small molecular tweaks to surfaces can improve absorption technology for direct air capture, or DAC, of carbon dioxide. Amino acids, which react readily with CO2 and are environmentally friendly, … [continued]
