A fast, green and one-step method for producing porous carbon spheres—a component for carbon capture technology and for new ways of storing renewable energy—has been developed by Swansea University researchers. Carbon spheres range in size from nanometers to micrometers. storage and conversion, catalysis, gas adsorption and storage, drug and enzyme delivery, and water treatment. Microscopy image a) shows agglomerated spheres while single spheres can be seen from images b-d). Credit: ESRI, Swansea University The method produces spheres that have good capacity for carbon capture, and it works effectively at a large scale. The research was published in the journal Carbon . Carbon spheres range in size from nanometers to micrometers. Over the past decade they have begun to play an important role in areas such as energy storage and conversion, catalysis, gas adsorption and storage, drug and enzyme delivery, and water treatment. They are also at the heart of […]
