Reactive electrodes are used to release protons to the seawater fed to the cells, driving the release of the dissolved carbon dioxide from the water. The process is cyclic: It first acidifies the ...

The first uses reactive electrodes to release protons into the seawater, which acidifies the water, turning dissolved inorganic bicarbonates into carbon dioxide gas, which bubbles out and is ...

To start, the system pulls water into a capsule and acidifies it, making it easier for carbon dioxide to break free from the liquid. (The team refers to this as "stripping" the seawater.) ...

Then, those materials would truly become carbon sinks.” Seawater, electricity and carbon dioxide... These are not rare or expensive input items. Naturally, this process needs to prove itself at ...

Marine life plays a pivotal role in Earth's carbon cycle. Phytoplankton at the base of the aquatic food web take up carbon ...

The ocean can be harnessed to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, effectively storing it in water layers and acting as a carbon sink. In research published in Advanced Sustainable Systems ...

In their experiments, the team inserted their electrodes into seawater. They then adjusted the applied voltage and injected carbon dioxide gas into the water at different rates and volumes to fine ...
