The researchers from MIT have developed this technology in such a way that it does not requires high concentration instead it can now be captured at any concentration. This technology is considered as a great strategy to fight greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. The device they developed consist of large batteries having a stack of electrodes in it, which absorbs the CO2  from the surrounding air. They noted and told in there study that the reaction taking place on the surface of the electrodes while the batteries are being charged up accumulates carbon, and a coating in the electrodes is formed with a compound called polyanthraquinone which contains carbon.
