Scientists working toward the elusive lithium-air battery discovered an unexpected approach to capturing and storing CO2 away from the atmosphere. Using a design intended for a lithium-CO2 battery, researchers in Japan and China have developed a way to isolate solid carbon dust from CO2, with the potential to also separate out oxygen gas through the same method. Converting carbon dioxide emissions into other carbon-containing compounds is desirable due to CO2’s contribution to the greenhouse effect and global warming...
