China/Japan:Abaphandi abavela kwiYunivesithi yaseKyoto, iYunivesithi yaseTokyo eJapan kunye neYunivesithi yaseJiangsu eqhelekileyo eChina baye baphuhlisa izinto ezintsha ezinokukhetha ngokukhetha i-carbon dioxide (CO).₂) iimolekyuli kwaye iziguqule zibe 'ziluncedo' imathiriyeli ephilayo, kuquka isandulela se-polyurethane.Iprojekthi yophando ichazwe kwijenali yoNxibelelwano lweNdalo.

Izinto eziphathekayo yipolymer yokulungelelaniswa kwe-porous (i-PCP, eyaziwa ngokuba yi-metal-organic framework), isakhelo esine-ion zensimbi ye-zinc.Abaphandi bavavanya izinto zabo ngokusebenzisa uhlalutyo lwesakhiwo se-X-ray kwaye bafumanisa ukuba banokukhetha kuphela i-CO₂iimolekyuli ezisebenza ngokuphindwe kalishumi kunezinye iiPCP.Izinto eziphathekayo zinecandelo le-organic kunye ne-propeller-like structure ye-molecular, kunye ne-CO₂iimolekyuli zisondela kwisakhiwo, ziyajikeleza kwaye zilungelelanise kwakhona ukuvumela iCO₂ukubambisa, okubangelwa utshintsho oluncinci kwiitshaneli ze-molecular ngaphakathi kwe-PCP.Oku kuyivumela ukuba isebenze njengesefa yemolekyuli ekwaziyo ukubona iimolekyuli ngokobukhulu nokumila kwayo.I-PCP inokuphinda isetyenziswe;ukusebenza kakuhle kwe-catalyst akuzange kunciphe nasemva kwemijikelo ye-10 yokusabela.

Emva kokubamba ikhabhoni, izinto eziguqulwayo zingasetyenziselwa ukwenza i-polyurethane, into eneentlobo ezininzi zezicelo ezibandakanya izinto zokugquma.
