The widespread and efficient use of carbon-neutral energy will be facilitated by the storage of this energy in the form of high energy density fuels…

Catalysts that efficiently interconvert between electrical energy and chemical bonds (fuels) are needed for sustainable, secure energy. Oxidation of ammonia by molecular complexes is a burgeoning area of research that poses crucial scientific challenges that must be addressed…

_We are exploring the direct air capture of CO2 by mimicking crucial functions of single cell organisms that enable selective and kinetically efficient uptake under the small thermodynamic driving force created by low partial pressures of CO2 in the atmosphere…

Direct air capture (DAC) of CO2, as opposed to point source capture, is a negative emissions technology that not only has the potential to help achieve carbon neutrality, but also to reach net negative emissions…

The direct capture of CO2 from air is one potential way to reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. While there has been research into carbon capture and conversion into higher value products, this process typically requires release of the CO2, which is energy intensive and thereby costly…

Catalysts that efficiently interconvert between electrical energy and chemical bonds (fuels) are needed for sustainable, secure energy. Ammonia has been proposed as a carbon-free chemical fuel…

Meeting decarbonization goals requires affordable, secure renewable energy sources with high energy density and long shelf-life…
