Researchers at MIT have developed a method that could significantly boost the performance of carbon capture and conversion systems that use catalytic surfaces to enhance the rates of carbon-sequestering electrochemical reactions. The movement through water is sluggish, which slows the rate of conversion of the carbon dioxide.
