Advanced air filter could enable building vents to capture carbon and reduce energy use



Chicago IL (SPX) Nov 12, 2025
Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering have developed a nanofiber air filter designed for building ventilation systems that captures airborne carbon dioxide and could lower household energy costs. The team, led by Assistant Professor Po-Chun Hsu, designed a distributed carbon nanofiber direct air capture filter that transforms residential and commercial HVAC systems into localized carbon-capture sites. The filter operates with over 92 percent efficiency i ... read more
