Researchers Convert Carbon Dioxide into Coal

Researchers at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia have for the first time developed a process to turn CO2 into coal. The new process uses liquid metal as a catalyst to permanently and safely convert CO2 into a solid form for storing.

Process Involved

  • The team managed to engineer gaseous CO2 into solid carbon using liquid metal as a catalyst.
  • The researchers designed a liquid metal catalyst with specific surface properties that made it extremely efficient at conducting electricity while chemically activating the surface.
  • The carbon dioxide is dissolved in a beaker filled with an electrolyte liquid and a small amount of ....
