Noble Prize-winning chemist George Olah has released his newest development, a breakthrough low-cost while most-effective CO2 absorber material around the world. The material is created by fusing a common plastic that soaks up CO2 with a silica substrate which can vastly increases its surface area- thus to improve the absorber’s effectiveness. Except for absorbing CO2, the material also exhibits other attributes: for example, it can catalyze at room temperature and releases CO2 at 80 degrees Celsius – still more effective compared to other alternatives.
