Stackable artificial leaf uses less power than lightbulb to capture 100 times more carbon than other systems
"organic solvent attaches to available carbon dioxide to produce a concentration of bicarbonate, or baking soda, on the membrane.... 3.3 millimoles per hour per 4 square centimeters. This is more than 100 times better than other systems, even though only a moderate amount of electricity (0.4 KJ/hour) was needed to power the reaction... cost at $145 per ton of carbon dioxide, which is in line with recommendations... cost should not exceed around $200 per ton"
