Researchers led by Wonyong Choi have created a novel electrode that integrates carbon dioxide capture and conversion into a single system. This technology enables simultaneous processing of CO2 from mixed gas emissions, improving efficiency by 40% over traditional methods.

The approach generates valuable formic acid, positioning industrial emissions as a revenue source. Tested under various conditions, the electrode shows potential for direct air capture, requiring fewer components and reducing operational complexity. Further optimization is needed for commercialization and durability.
