"Breakthrough: Oregon State Scientists Uncover Carbon-Capturing Metal"

Originally Published 1 year ago — by Oregon Public Broadcasting

Scientists at Oregon State University have discovered that the metal vanadium, when bound with oxygen molecules as peroxide, can effectively pull carbon dioxide from the air. This process could potentially aid in capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to mitigate the impacts of global climate change. The discovery, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, offers a new approach to filtering greenhouse gases and could complement efforts in rapid decarbonization and the preservation of natural ecosystems.

"Breakthrough in Vanadium Research for Carbon Capture from Air"

Originally Published 1 year ago — by Phys.org

Oregon State University scientists have made a significant advancement in carbon capture technology by demonstrating the ability of vanadium peroxide molecules to react with and bind carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This research is part of a federal effort to develop new methods for direct air capture of carbon dioxide, which is crucial for mitigating climate change. Vanadium's unique reactivity and ability to release captured carbon dioxide at a relatively low temperature make it a promising candidate for carbon scrubbing tools.
