Researchers at MIT have devised a simple, soluble metal oxide system to capture and transform CO 2 into useful organic compounds. Cummins was curious to see if he could design a catalyst where the carbon dioxide would bind to the ligand instead. With most of those catalysts, the carbon dioxide binds directly to the metal atoms.

Among the advantages of aluminum is that it is abundant in the earth’s crust, it is trivalent and light, and it therefore has a high capacity to store more energy than many other metals. So if we have a longer service life, then this cost will be further reduced.
