Plastic depolymerization and carbon capture in one paper - the aminolyzed PET shows surprisingly high thermal stability which led us to investigate for carbon dioxide capture and DAC. The material is scalable and the chemistry is robust. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Repurposing polyethylene terephthalate plastic waste to capture carbon dioxide

A scalable chemical upcycling of PET waste into an efficient, durable, and selective CO2 sorbent has been achieved.

Is CO2 linear or bent? Does it matter for the reactivity and stability of CO2? pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Revisiting the reactivity of carbon dioxide: from physical and chemical properties to reactive carbon capture

The commonly believed low chemical reactivity of CO2 is misguiding, considering the high electrophilicity of Csp of CO2, the seemingly omnipresent photosynthetic C–C bond formation, and the enzymatic ...

Likewise! You’re right and there is a difference in terms of heat of formation for gas and liquid ammonia, more exothermic for liquid ammonia.

High pressure is necessary to separate ammonia as a liquid in the end of the process.

What is the best gas for this purpose? All gases work the same way?

A Prebiotic Route to Lactate from Acetaldehyde, Cyanide and Carbon Dioxide

The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) has fluctuated throughout Earth's history. However, the role of CO2 in prebiotic chemistry has predominantly been limitedly postulated as a C1 pr...

Sometimes this kind things make me think I am good in the lab (I was a mediocre synthetic chemist).

Last September we gathered together in Denmark to discuss our dream reactions of CO2. Here are some of Voices from participant. Hope to see all the participants and more again next time! www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Dream reactions of CO2 capture, conversion, and beyond

Carbon dioxide (CO2) mitigation is one of humanity’s greatest challenges, requiring cross-disciplinary effort to develop scalable technologies. This Voices, published after the 2024 Dream Reactions of CO2 conference in Favrholm, Denmark, asks speakers from the meeting this: what are your dream reactions of CO2?
