Transforming Carbon Dioxide into Fuel More Efficiently with a Water-Conducting Membrane

Summary. Methanol is a versatile and efficient chemical used as fuel in the production of countless products. Carbon dioxide (CO2), on the other hand, is a greenhouse gas, the unwanted byproduct of many industrial processes. Converting CO2 to Methanol is one way to put CO2 to good use. Separation membranes could vastly improve multiple chemical processes. In research paper published…
