Decarbonization Avenue University research @ CLIMAX

Porous material captures and convert CO2 molecules into useful organic materials - Kyoto University

Objective/theme

A new material that can selectively capture carbon dioxide (CO2) molecules and efficiently convert them into useful organic materials.

Process & benefits

Researchers have successfully designed a porous material which has a high affinity towards CO2 molecules and can quickly and effectively convert it into useful organic materials.

The material is a porous coordination polymer (PCP, also known as MOF; metal-organic framework), a framework consisting of zinc metal ions.
