A material called ZIF-8 swells up when carbon dioxide molecules are trapped inside, new images revealA new kind of molecular-scale microscope has been trained for the first time on a promising wonder material for carbon capture and storage. The results, researchers say, suggest a few tweaks to this material could further enhance its ability to scrub greenhouse gases from emissions produced by traditional power plants.
The announcement comes in the wake of a separate study concerning carbon capture published in the journal Nature
