What if tiny sponge-like things known as “nanomaterials” were designed to fight climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide, the pollution that makes up most of the Earth’s greenhouse gas emissions?

In newly published study, CU Boulder chemist Wei Zhang details a new porous material that is less expensive and more sustainable For a broad range of industries, separating gases is an important part ...

A team developed photothermal porous polymer capable of ultra-fast adsorption and removal of phenolic microplastics and VOC contaminants in water. Showing the potential as a next-generation water ...

Scientists named a new discovery a "cage of cages" due to its molecular structure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming. This porous polymer, developed by UK and Chinese ...

Several factors, such as surface area, pore size distribution, temperature, pressure, and the nature of both the gas and porous material, influence the rate and extent of gas sorption. The size and ...

This new review takes a deep dive into how engineered carbon surfaces are tackling toxic metals, industrial gases, and soil contaminants while overcoming stability and cost barriers. Study: Study on ...
