When it came out the other side, the scientists could not detect any carbon dioxide at all, Zhou said.<\/p>\n<p>The powder has several advantages over other materials, according to its creators.<\/p>\n<p>Its porous design increases its surface area, which means more places to hold onto CO2 molecules. As a result, it captures carbon dioxide at a rate that is \u201cat least 10 times faster\u201d than other materials used for direct air capture, Zhou said. <\/p>\n<p>Team members have continued to make improvements, and they\u2019re on track to double its capacity in the next year, Yaghi added.<\/p>\n<p>Another plus is that COF-999 will loosen its hold on the CO2 when it\u2019s heated to about 140 degrees F. Comparable materials must be heated to 250 degrees F to extract carbon, Zhou said. <\/p>\n<p>The powder is more durable as well. Zhou said the team has tested a newer version that worked for 300 cycles before the experiment came to an end. <\/p>\n<p>Lackner said that was a promising sign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGetting 100 cycles out and not seeing any deterioration suggests you can get thousands of cycles,\u201d he said. \u201cWhether you can get hundreds of thousands of cycles, we don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To deploy it on an industrial scale will require designing some kind of large metal box that air can pass through without blowing all the powder away, Zhou said. Those boxes would need to be clustered together in quantities that evoke a modern-day chemical or petroleum plant.<\/p>\n<div class=\"enhancement\" data-click=\"enhancement\"

He couldn\u2019t estimate what it would cost to produce in bulk, but he said it doesn\u2019t require any expensive or exotic materials.<\/p>\n<p>Yaghi founded a company, Irvine-based <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/atoco.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Atoco<\/a>, to commercialize his research on carbon capture and other technologies. Atoco helped fund the new study. (Other financial backers include the Bakar Institute and the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology.)<\/p>\n<p>In addition, UC Berkeley has filed a patent application for COF-999, which names Yaghi and Zhou  inventors. <\/p>\n<p>Lackner said the entire direct air capture process will have to become \u201c10 times cheaper than it is now\u201d before it can make a real dent in the <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/climate.mit.edu\/ask-mit\/how-much-carbon-dioxide-would-we-have-remove-air-counteract-climate-change\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hundreds of billions of tons of carbon dioxide<\/a> that scientists would love to scrub from the atmosphere. <\/p>\n<p>A material that\u2019s more efficient at collecting CO2 would help, but Lackner said he spends more time fretting about problems like the heat that\u2019s lost when temperatures are raised to harvest the carbon so it can be injected underground.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are a thousand things that feed into this,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<div class=\"enhancement\" data-click=\"enhancement\" data-align-center=\"\"> <ps-newsletter-module class=\"module newsletter-module\" data-id=\"1245\" data-module-id=\"00000192-b9e0-db90-abf2-bbf88c130011\">\n<div class=\"module-container\">\n<p> <svg class=\"icon flying-envelope-icon\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-flying-envelope\"\/><\/svg><span class=\"visually-hidden\">Newsletter<\/span> <\/p>\n<p class=\"module-title\">Toward a more sustainable California<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"module-description\">Get Boiling Point, our newsletter exploring climate change, energy and the environment, and become part of the conversation \u2014 and the solution.<\/p>\n<form class=\"form newsletter-module-form\" method=\"post\" action=\"https:\/\/membership.latimes.com\/subscription-services\/v1\/newsletters\/subscriptions\" data-error-message=\"Something went wrong.
