"Sunlight-Powered Carbon Conversion: Innovations in CO2 Utilization"
MIT chemical engineers have developed a groundbreaking method to efficiently convert carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide using a DNA-tethered catalytic process, offering a new pathway for producing valuable chemicals and potentially reducing greenhouse gas emissions on a large scale. The process, which uses electricity and a catalyst tethered to an electrode surface by DNA, has shown a 100% Faradaic efficiency, making it a promising technology for industrial use and commercial applications.
