Cement-based materials provide a potential solution for mitigating climate change by trapping and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide as minerals, via a process known as carbonation. Despite extensive studies, however, the exact mechanism of this process is not yet understood.
Now, researchers have conducted a comprehensive investigation of carbonation reaction using a new method, revealing the role of structural changes and water transport, paving the way for advanced carbon dioxide-absorbing building materials.
To answer these questions, Associate Professor Takahiro Ohkubo from the Graduate School of Engineering at Chiba University with his team of researchers, including Taiki Uno from Chiba University, Professor Ippei Maruyama and Naohiko Saeki from The University of Tokyo, Associate Professor Yuya Suda from University of Ryukyus, Atsushi Teramoto from Hiroshima University, and Professor Ryoma Kitagaki from Hokkaido University investigated the mechanism of carbonation reaction under different Ca/Si...
