Abstract
Converting CO2 into solid carbon materials provides both long-term carbon sequestration and the production of value-added products. This Comment compares reactor configurations guided by thermodynamic analysis, evaluates the market volume and morphology control of different carbon products, and identifies hurdles and opportunities for scaled-up deployment.
