A low-cost new material that could lead to innovative
technologies to tackle global warming has been discovered by scientists at The
University of Nottingham.
The porous material, named NOTT-300, has the potential to
reduce fossil fuel emissions through the cheaper and more efficient capture of
polluting gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and sulphur dioxide (SO2). The
research, published in the scientific journal Nature Chemistry, demonstrates
how the exciting properties of NOTT-300 could provide a greener alternative to
existing solutions to adsorb CO2 which are expensive and use large amounts of energy.
