Solving for Greater Good
At Rice Engineering, we collaborate with scientists and scholars across campus and around the world to solve some of the most urgent issues of our time. Through our five research focus areas – Health and Well-being, Energy and Sustainability, Resilient and Adaptive Communities, Advanced Materials, and Future Computing – we are solving for greater good.
Reactor developed at Rice could make direct air capture more energy efficient
Rice chemical and biomolecular engineers led by Haotian Wang have developed an electrochemical reactor that could dramatically improve the process of removing carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere.
As published in Nature Energy, their design could be a part of the solution to the pressing problem of emission impacts on the climate and biosphere by enabling more agile and scalable carbon dioxide mitigation strategies.
