The research was recently published in a report in the scientific journal Science.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One way to mitigate climate change could be to capture carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2<\/sub>) from the air. So far this has been difficult, since the presence of water prevents the adsorption of CO<sub>2<\/sub>. Complete dehydration is a costly process. Scientists have now created a stable and recyclable material, where the micropores within the crystal have different adsorption sites for carbon dioxide and water.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u201cAs far as I know this is the first material that captures CO<sub>2 <\/sub>in an efficient way in the presence of humidity. In other cases there is competition between water and carbon dioxide and water usually wins. This material adsorbs both, but the CO<sub>2<\/sub> uptake is enormous\u201d says Osamu Terasaki, Professor at the Department of Materials and Environmental Chemistry at Stockholm University.<\/p>\n<p>The new material is called SGU-29, named after Sogang University in Korea, and is the result of international cooperation. It is a copper silicate crystal. The material could be used for capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and especially to clean emissions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCO<sub>2<\/sub> is always produced with moisture, and now we can capture CO<sub>2<\/sub> from humid gases. Combined with other systems that are being developed, the waste carbon can be used for new valuable compounds. People are working very hard and I think we will be able to do this within five years. The most difficult part is to capture carbon dioxide, and we have a solution for that now\u201d says Osamu Terasaki.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scientists have created crystals that capture carbon dioxide much more efficiently than previously known materials, even in the presence of water.
