GWU team demonstrates one-pot process for optimized synthesis of controlled CNTs from CO2; coupling cement and C2CNT

Green Car Congress

This synthesis consumes only CO 2 and electricity, and is constrained only by the cost of electricity. Molten carbonate electrosynthesized boron-doped CNTs exhibit high electrical conductivity. The electrolysis occurs at low electrical energy and high coulombic efficiency ($4 Faraday per mole CO 2 ). Licht (2017).
