The story so far
The world may soon have a new source of graphite, a crucial component in electric vehicle batteries. The process, observed by scientists, pulls carbon dioxide from the air and converts it into graphite.
This method uses a molten salt process at 932°F, transforming waste CO₂ into graphite through a two-step process. The conversion of carbon dioxide into graphite could reduce reliance on mining.
The process was observed by scientists in California. The open question is how this process will scale up to meet the growing demand for graphite in the EV industry.
