researchers led by Arizona State University are developing a reliable and energy efficient carbon dioxide capture system to mitigate waste carbon dioxide and emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This innovative device uses less energy than commercial carbon capture systems and easily retrofits at existing facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This device employs an electrochemical cell to capture CO2 at the cathode, transport it across the cell and release it at the anode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:2rem\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key
