Kanazawa Team Creates Spherical Vanadium Oxide Clusters That Can Trap and Hold CO2

How can carbon dioxide be separated from carbon monoxide? As demonstrated in a new study from Kanazawa University, one way is to use a bowl of vanadium. To be more precise, a hollow, spherical cluster of vanadate molecules can distinguish between CO2 and CO, enabling potential uses in CO2 capture and storage.
