This could form the basis of a new, more efficient process for converting the greenhouse gas CO 2 into a useful carbon source for the production of fuels and chemical products. Their material of choice is powdered elemental boron, which very strongly absorbs sunlight and efficiently converts it photothermically, heating itself up remarkably.

A major goal among scientists has been decreasing the excess energy needed to convert captured carbon dioxide back into fuel. The molecule—a nanographene-rhenium complex connected via an organic compound known as bipyridine—triggers a highly efficient reaction that converts carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide. 6b12530.
