Researchers at Texas A&M have developed a two-step, one-pot conversion of CO 2 and epoxides (highly reactive compounds with a three-membered ring made of two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom) to polycarbonate block copolymers that contain both water-soluble and hydrophobic regions and can aggregate into nanoparticles or micelles.

They added diamine molecules to a magnesium-based MOF to catalyze the formation of polymer chains of CO 2 that could then be purged by flushing with a humid stream of carbon dioxide. For CO 2 capture, steam stripping—where you use direct contact with steam to take off the CO 2 —has been a sort of holy grail for the field.

Stuart Licht ( earlier post ) have developed a new process that transforms CO 2 into a controlled selection of nanotubes (CNTs) via molten electrolysis; they call the process C2CNT (CO2 into carbon nanotubes). This synthesis consumes only CO 2 and electricity, and is constrained only by the cost of electricity. —Licht (2017).
