Lignin-Derived Quantum Dots Supercharge a Common Photocatalyst to Turn CO2 Into Fuel

What if the carbon dioxide, responsible for warming the planet, could be captured and chemically transformed into usable fuel using nothing more than sunlight and a carefully engineered material?

Every year, humanity pumps billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere while simultaneously worrying about where the next…
