Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture is a key technology in the fight against climate change. With growing concerns about the effects of greenhouse gases, carbon capture and storage (CCS) methods have been touted as an effective solution to reduce CO2 emissions. The Verdux system is an electrically powered device that helps capture and remove carbon. Developed by an MIT team led by Sahag Vescian and T. Alan Hutton, the system uses electrochemistry to capture carbon almost effortlessly. At the heart of the method is a technology which the researchers describe as impressive and efficient. Most efforts to capture carbon from exhaust streams or the air itself require a lot of energy, but Vescian and Hutton have come up with a design that uses electrochemistry to capture carbon. Their invention is a kind of battery: conductive electrodes are coated with a compound called polyanthraquinone, a natural chemical adsorbent for carbon dioxide under certain conditions. When these special conditions are not present, polyanthraquinone has no desire to absorb carbon dioxide. When activated by a low-level electrical current, the charged battery reacts with passing carbon dioxide molecules, drawing them to its surface. When the battery is saturated, the carbon dioxide can be released as a stream of pure gas with a small voltage change. Verdex's technology should be able to capture carbon dioxide from the air and its sources of emissions at the mega- and gigatonne level.
