University of Queensland researchers develop a nanogenerator that converts CO2 into electricity.
University of Queensland researchers have built a nanogenerator that consumes carbon dioxide (CO2) to produce electricity. This carbon-negative device, made from a polyamine gel and boron nitrate, creates a diffusion current from differently-sized ions that can be amplified into electricity. The technology may have potential to revolutionize CO2 reduction efforts and could be expanded to charge devices like smartphones and laptops in a way that benefits the environment.
