Polymer microcapsules with liquid carbonate cores and silicone shells offer a new approach to carbon capture
Green Car Congress
FEBRUARY 8, 2015
Current carbon capture technology uses caustic amine-based solvents to separate CO 2 from the flue gas escaping a power plant’s smokestacks. These permeable silicone beads could be a “sliced-bread” breakthrough for CO 2 capture—efficient, easy-to-handle, minimal waste, and cheap to make. —Vericella et al.
