Q&A: LBNL's Dr. Haimei Zheng Makes Metal-Organic Spongy Photocatalysts

Dr. Zheng and her team of scientists from Berkeley Lab and Nanyang Technical University in Singapore made metal-organic spongy photocatalysts that convert carbon dioxide (CO2) to carbon monoxide (CO) in the presence of sunlight. They were able to make liquid fuels with the noble nanoparticle-decorated spongy material.
