Tapping Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide to Make Supercapacitors

Oops graphene, Fredskie will gonna like this.

Nano Nano!

There ya go--visualize Pam Dawber!

I guess that making super capacitors and reducing atmospheric CO2 are both good things, so on the surface it seems like a win-win. The process starts with a flow of, I assume, concentrated CO2, whereas the concentration in the atmosphere is about 0.04%. I wonder if they have factored in the cost of concentrating the gas. (Possibly using concentrations at the point of production would be more efficient.) And catalyst or no catalyst, it requires energy to separate the carbon and oxygen, probably more than was obtained from burning the carbon in the first place.

Stop throwing science, common sense and practicality at these sort of ventures.

You know it just ruins the reality of the dream.
