Summary

To improve carbon recycling and reduce emissions, researchers at Science Tokyo developed iron-substituted calcium titanate (Fe-doped CaTiO 3 ) as an environmentally friendly support material for chemical looping, a process that converts carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) into carbon monoxide for fuel and chemical production. By substituting iron into CaTiO 3 , the material gained oxygen vacancies and improved ion and electron transport, accelerating CO 2 conversion. Built from widely available, low-cost elements, the material could help enable scalable carbon recycling.
