IU Chemists Create Molecular ‘Leaf’ That Collects and Stores Solar Power Without Solar Panels
March 9, 2017
An international team of scientists led by Liang-shi Li has achieved a new milestone in the quest to recycle carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere into carbon-neutral fuels and others materials.
The chemists have engineered a molecule that uses light or electricity to convert the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide -- a carbon-neutral fuel source -- more efficiently than any other method of "carbon reduction."
