Producing Graphene from Carbon Dioxide - KIT

Objective/theme

Researchers are using carbon dioxide as a raw material to produce graphene, a technological material which is currently the subject of intense study.

Process & benefits

Carbon dioxide as an inexpensive raw material for the synthesis of valuable materials, feeding it back into the reusability cycle.

Researchers at KIT are now presenting a process in which the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide together with hydrogen gas is converted directly into graphene at temperatures of up to 1000 degrees Celsius with the help of specially prepared, catalytically active metal surfaces.
