"Uncovering the Key Bottleneck in Converting Carbon Dioxide Waste into Usable Products"

Researchers at McMaster University and Danish Technical University have uncovered the bottleneck hindering the practicality of converting carbon dioxide into usable products. Using powerful magnification equipment, they observed the nanoscale chemical reaction and discovered that catalysts restructuring rapidly under operating conditions is the main issue. The team hopes to use this information to improve the efficiency and durability of the process, potentially enabling the technology to be scaled up for commercial use in industries with high volumes of retrievable carbon dioxide.
