The idea of ​​capturing carbon dioxide or converting it to other substances in order to combat climate change is not new. However, simply storing carbon dioxide in a certain compound may lead to its leakage into the environment

Eunice Newton Foote was the first to discover the alarming effects of carbon oxides in the atmosphere in 1856. Today this phenomenon is known as the greenhouse effect. It can be said that then also began the denial of the climate crisis that continues to this day

According to the organization's report published this week in Israel, 5% use renewable energy sources, if we were closer to 12% - the OECD average, it would be easy to avoid the shame of self-initiated power outages during the day in a hot country like ours

Porous crystals for trapping greenhouse gases contain fluorine

  • No comments
Gases containing fluorine - including those known as per- or polyfluorinated hydrocarbons [PFCs], have been found to have multiple effects on global warming. Researchers have recently succeeded in developing innovative crystalline materials capable of selectively adsorbing the molecules of fluorine-containing materials. The researchers hope that these porous crystals can be useful for binding and recovering such gases
