International research team develops more efficient way to convert CO2 into solid carbon

In Australia, Chemical Engineering Magazine reports that an international team of researchers led by RMIT University in Melbourne has developed a way to efficiently transform CO2 into solid carbon, making it easier to store and to remove from the atmosphere rather than in liquid or gaseous states. Using a liquid metal electrocatalyst, researchers were able to solidify carbon at room temperature rather than at extremely high temperatures as is currently done but too expensive to be viable.
