"Chinese-Led Team Achieves Milestone in Carbon Dioxide Reduction"
A Chinese-led team at Huazhong University of Science and Technology has developed an electrolysis system that can efficiently convert carbon dioxide into formic acid, a valuable chemical product, with a record-breaking stability of over 5,000 hours. This breakthrough, published in the journal Nature, is seen as a significant step towards industrial use and could have applications in various sectors including chemical, energy, and agriculture. The system utilizes components from lead-acid batteries and offers a greener and more sustainable approach to carbon dioxide conversion, potentially aiding in the decarbonization of carbon-intensive industries.
