Some of the thinnest materials known to humankind may provide solutions to scientists in their quest to curb the effects of global warming.
"In this review, we conducted an exhaustive analysis and proposed strategies for the widespread implementation of these materials in large-scale applications," said Ozkan, a climate action professor in UCR's Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the Bourns College of Engineering.According to Ozkan, these two-dimensional materials can be engineered to selectively capture carbondioxide.
Ozkan explained that these materials can be used in conjunction with existing technologies, such as those developed by the Swiss company Climework AS. These systems extract carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere and sequester it for safe and long-term storage. The paper's co-authors are UCR's Kathrine A.M. Quiros, Jordyn M. Watkins, Talyah M.
