But don’t let appearances fool you. This powder could be a key weapon in the fight against climate change. The material, known as COF-999, has the ability to trap carbon dioxide — the ...

Dubbed COF-999, the powder could be deployed in the kinds of large-scale direct air-capture plants that are starting to come online to reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Kern County ...

As ambient air passes through the powder, the basic amine polymers in COF-999 grab onto the acidic CO2, trapping it. A visualization of COF-999, featuring hexagonal channels decorated with ...

The yellow powder is a type of compound known as a “covalent organic framework,” or COF. Zihui Zhou, UC Berkeley Increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have caused ...

The COF-999 powder hasn’t yet been tested for real-life applications, notes Jennifer Wilcox, a University of Pennsylvania chemical engineer who formerly worked on carbon removal at the U.S ...

The new material, which is a deep yellow powder that almost resembles ground turmeric, is called a covalent organic framework (COF). COFs have existed for nearly 20 years, but the latest spin on them ...

A research team has created nano sponges that can effectively filter organic pollutants from water. Researchers Changxia Li and Freddy Kleitz from the Faculty of Chemistry at the University of ...

The material is a new type of material made out of microscopic pores called a covalent organic framework or COF for short. Zhou tested the compound in a special device by packing the powder into a ...

A powder called ' COF-999 ' has been developed that traps greenhouse gases in tiny pores. It is expected to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and help curb climate change. COF-999 ...

Dubbed COF-999, the powder could be deployed in the kinds of large-scale direct air-capture plants that are starting to come ...
