Edible Carbon Dioxide SpongeEvanston, IL (SPX) Sep 30, 2011 A year ago Northwestern University chemists published their recipe for a new class of nanostructures made of sugar, salt and alcohol. Now, the same team has discovered the edible compounds can efficiently detect, capture and store carbon dioxide. And the compounds themselves are carbon-neutral. The porous crystals - known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) - are made from all-natural ingredients and are simple to prepare, giving them a huge advantage over other MOFs. Conventional MOFs, which also ... read more |
