Water-conducting membrane allows carbon dioxide to transform into fuel more efficiently
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/02/200206144820.htm
Converting carbon dioxide to methanol is one way to put carbon dioxide to good use. Chemical engineers have now demonstrated how to make that conversion process more efficient by using a highly effective separation membrane they produced...
The researchers assembled a membrane made up of sodium ions and zeolite crystals that was able to carefully and quickly permeate water through small pores -- known as water-conduction nanochannels -- without losing gas molecules.
