Turning Atmospheric CO2 into Strong, Lightweight Carbon Fibers
[Via Energy – MIT Technology Review]
A novel electrochemical process sequesters carbon in the form of a versatile building material.
A new method for taking carbon dioxide directly from the air and converting it to oxygen and nanoscale fibers made of carbon could lead to an inexpensive way to make a valuable building material—and may even serve as a weapon against climate change.
