DESCRIPTION

Tackling climate change doesn’t just require efforts like renewable energy – we need to clean up existing processes too. Now, engineers have developed a way to use soot from emissions to improve solar thermal devices, making them not only cheaper to produce but more efficient than using materials like graphene.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, ScienceTags: Carbon, Carbon capture, Pollution, Solar Thermal, University of Houston, Graphene, Nanotubes, Energy
