C2CNT process converts flue gas from natural gas power plant into carbon nanotubes

Green Car Congress

C2CNT was founded by Dr. Stuart Licht, a Professor at George Washington University, a former Program Director in Chemistry at the National Science Foundation and a Fellow of the Electrochemical Society. The process is self-heating and the carbonate electrolyte is continuously renewed by the addition of carbon dioxide.
