Copper Foam

Caption

Scientists at Brown University's Center for Capture and Conversion of CO2 have discovered that copper foam could provide a new way of converting excess CO2 into useful industrial chemicals. The foam offers sponge-like pores and channels, providing more active sites for CO2 reactions than a simple surface.
