New means of synthesizing carbon dioxide can help tackle environmental issues in a big way
According to a study published on the journal Nature Catalysis on April 28, Chinese scientists have created an efficient way of synthesizing carbon dioxide into energy-rich long carbon chain compounds like sugar and fatty acids.
It is a starting point for realizing light-reaction-free artificial synthesis of important organic products from CO2. Experts said the technology may turn a common greenhouse emission into a valued product, which may present a new way to tackle environmental issues and achieve a sustainable economy.
