Surface and bulk carbonate formation in calcium oxide during carbon dioxide capture

What is it about?

Here we distinguish the formation of carbonate species on the surface and in the bulk of calcium oxide, a potentially low-cost material for carbon dioxide capture.

Why is it important?

To design materials for carbon dioxide capture it is important to understand how carbon dioxide binds with the material. This will allow the development of more efficient materials in the future.
