A New Solar Carbon Capture Process: Solar Thermal Electrochemical Photo (STEP) Carbon Capture

S.L. designed the STEP carbon capture process, and together with B.W. conducted and analyzed the electrolysis and solar experiments. S.G., H.A., and J.G. participated in the initial phases (with molten eutectic, rather pure Li2CO3, experiments), and D.J. and H.A., under the direction of S.L., are continuing experiments. The first experimental evidence of a new solar [...]
