Scientists fabricate carbon nanofibers from air

Posted on 20 Aug 2015 by Michael Cruickshank

A team of researchers from the George Washington University have detailed a process that allows for the fabrication of carbon nanofibers from the air.

In work outlined at conference of the American Chemical Society, the scientists explained a novel approach which turns atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) into carbon nanofibers. The team calls their approach ‘Diamonds in the Sky’, due to the high value of its output product. “We have found a way to use atmospheric CO2 to produce high-yield…
