  • Publication number: 20160257702
    Abstract: A composition and method are disclosed for capturing CO2. A pollutant/greenhouse gas can be converted into a valuable organic compound using a nontoxic reducing agent. CO2 may be economically captured from the atmosphere, from products of combustion, or from byproducts of various chemical processes. The method reduces CO2 in a three-step reaction cycle, in which a binuclear metal-organic compound converts CO2 to oxalate in a redox cycle under mild conditions.
