A team led by Wonyong Choi has developed an integrated CO2 conversion technology that combines carbon dioxide capture and conversion into one system, achieving 40% higher efficiency compared to conventional methods. This new electrode can process mixed gas emissions without the need for CO2 pre-concentration, allowing substantial formic acid production even in challenging conditions, such as simulated flue gas.

The technology simplifies industrial deployment by reducing infrastructure needs and mechanical complexity. Though further optimization and durability testing are required, it holds promise for applications in direct air capture and broader greenhouse gas management.
