Direct air capture

Caption

Scanning electron microscope images of the carbon capture titanium molecules before (left) and after (right) exposure to air. The molecules release oxygen gas upon capture of carbon dioxide, creating a spongelike substance that enables reactivity throughout the crystals, not just on the surface.
