Zhang, Z.; et al. (2019): In-situ ion-activated carbon nanospheres with tunable ultramicroporosity for superior CO2 capture

Zhang, Z.; Luo, D.; Lui, G.; Li, G.; Jiang, G.; Cano, Z. et al. (2019): In-situ ion-activated carbon nanospheres with tunable ultramicroporosity for superior CO2 capture. In: Carbon 143, S. 531–541. DOI: 10.1016/j.carbon.2018.10.096.

“Ultramicroporous carbon materials play a critical role in CO2 capture and separation, however facile approaches to design ultramicroporous carbon with controllable amount, ratio and size of pores are still challenging. […] This work provides a novel and facile guideline to engineer carbon materials with abundant and tunable ultramicroporosity towards superior CO2 capture performance, which also delivers great potential in extensive applications such as water purification, catalysis, and energy storage.”

The Wire: India Should Demand International, Political Oversight for Geoengineering R&D

“Multilateral climate negotiations led by the UN have ended on disappointing notes of late. This has prompted climate scientists to weigh the pros and cons of climate geoengineering. Indian scientists, policymakers, and the public must also engage in these debates, especially given the potentially major implications of geoengineering for the monsoons in South Asia and Africa.”

Gambhir, A.; et al. (2018): Energy system changes in 1.5 °C, well below 2 °C and 2 °C scenarios

Gambhir, A.; Rogelj, J.; Luderer, G.; Few, S.; Napp, T. (2019): Energy system changes in 1.5 °C, well below 2 °C and 2 °C scenarios. In: Energy Strategy Reviews 23, S. 69–80. DOI: 10.1016/j.esr.2018.12.006.

“We specifically assess differences in a range of near-term indicators describing CO2 emissions reductions pathways, changes in primary energy and final energy across the economy’s major sectors, in addition to more detailed metrics around the use of carbon capture and storage (CCS), negative emissions, low-carbon electricity and hydrogen.”
