Now a material scientist at Michigan Technological University has discovered a chemical reaction that not only soaks up CO<sub>2<\/sub>, but also produces useful chemicals along with significant amounts of energy.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Yun Hang Hu and his research team developed a heat-releasing reaction between CO<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0and lithium nitride (Li<sub>3<\/sub>N) &#8211; a compound that is the only stable alkali metal nitride and is made by reacting lithium with nitrogen at room temperature. Reacting lithium nitride with carbon dioxide resulted in amorphous carbon nitride (C<sub>3<\/sub>N<sub>4<\/sub>), a semiconductor, and lithium cyanamide (Li<sub>2<\/sub>CN<sub>2<\/sub>), a precursor to fertilizers.
