In a groundbreaking new study, scientists have developed a method for combining chemical and electrical energy to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) to produce valuable chemicals. The team, from the University of Cambridge, has developed an ultrathin material that combines two different compounds to convert CO2 into formic acid, which can be used to create a range of products such as plastics and fuels. The breakthrough could lead to a new way of producing valuable chemicals from CO2, and could be a major step towards combatting climate change.
