Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories study clay for snatching carbon dioxide directly from air. Although, the atmospheric level of carbon dioxide — a gas that is great at trapping heat, contributing to climate change — is almost double what it was prior to the Industrial Revolution, it only c
for their bio-inspired, carbon-catching membrane. Of course, this membrane is not made out of inexpensive clay, and was initially designed to work at fossil-fuel-burning power plants or other industrial facilities, Rempe said.How to simulate the nanoscale?
“Molecular simulation is really a powerful tool to study interactions at the molecular scale,” Ho said. “It allows us to fully understand what is going on among the carbon dioxide, water and clay, and the goal is to use this information to engineer a clay material for carbon-capture applications.” Collaborators from Purdue University led by Professor Cliff Johnston recently used experiments to confirm that water confined in clay nanopores absorbs more carbon dioxide than plain water does, Ho said.
