New carbon-scrubbing technology promises to make fuel-cell vehicles efficient and environmentally friendly, and could even be used for air filtration in submarines and spacecraft.
Researchers at the University of Delaware have found a hyperefficient method of removing 99 percent of carbon dioxide from air using a new hydrogen-powered electrochemical system. The authors of the study, published in the journal Nature Energy, believe that the novel technology may bring environmentally friendly fuel cells to market.
