Mechanochemical approach enables low-temperature CO₂ capture and conversion

A pioneering approach has been developed to convert carbon dioxide (CO₂) into methane (CH₄)—the main component of natural gas—at room temperature. Traditionally, this process requires high temperatures above 300°C, making it energy-intensive and costly. The new method, which involves just rotating raw materials with steel balls, was recently published in Nature Nanotechnology.
