  • Natural gas is a widely used fossil fuel, but its extraction results in the venting of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Here, the authors demonstrate that nucleophilic porous carbons can store this carbon dioxide as a polymer, and that the polymerization requires lower pressures than previously observed.

  • High-surface-area corundum are used in ceramics and catalyst supports, yet the synthesis is hampered by high energy barrier and aggregation. Here the authors report the ultrafast synthesis of corundum nanoparticles via the resistive hotspot triggered phase transformation in electric heating process.

  • CO2 is often found alongside CH4 in natural gas wells; therefore, separation of the gases is an important industrial process. Jalilov et al. demonstrate that the adsorption selectivity for CO2 over CH4 can be significantly enhanced through introduction of water into the pores of a high-surface-area carbon.
