UQ nano-generator improves industrial carbon capture efficiency

Summary: UQ researchers developed a nano-generator for industrial carbon capture, potentially reducing global CO2 emissions. The device pairs a polyamine gel with boron nitrate to generate electricity while absorbing CO2. Dr. Wang aims to enhance efficiency and seek industrial partners. Current carbon capture methods are costly and inefficient, with many projects falling short of targets. CCS projects globally have faced challenges, with only about 30 active projects worldwide.
