Stuart Lawrence Licht (born July 24, 1954) is an academic chemist, inventor of the electrochemical transformation of CO2 into graphene nanocarbons and several batteries and solar cells, and he is a technologist focused on the low-carbon economy and mitigation of climate change. He advocates for climate action, specifically through carbon dioxide removal to rising carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere. His approach involves converting CO2 directly into useful nanocarbons like carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon nano-onions, known for their high strength and conductivity.

Mitigation of Global Warming

edit

Stuart Licht, a researcher specializing in carbon dioxide removal and the transition to a low-carbon or decarbonized economy (LCE), has focused on introducing new fundamental[1], solar, [2][3][4][5][6] solar fuel, [7][8][9][10][11][12]and battery chemistries, [13][14][15][16][17][18][19] and inventing and developing technologies to address climate change. In 2009, Licht introduced the STEP process, a method for converting solar energy into a means for ending anthropogenic global warming and overcoming CO2’s intrinsic stability [20] barrier to its removal as a greenhouse gas. [21][22][23] This process incorporates a high-temperature electrochemical technique to produce chemicals for carbon capture, offering an alternative to traditional electrical product generation. Following the initial development, a 2010 study showcased the first experimental demonstration of carbon capture using the STEP process via electrolysis in molten salts. [24] Further research indicated that allocating a land area roughly 4% the size of the Sahara Desert to this technology could potentially neutralize all accumulated anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere, assuming sufficient resources are dedicated to this effort. [25] By 2015, Licht advanced his work by refining STEP Carbon Capture to facilitate the transformation of CO2 into graphene-based nanomaterials, including carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and nanofibers, through the use of transition metals. [26],[23] A 2016 study documented the direct conversion, with or without solar energy, of airborne CO2 into the highest tensile strength material on the planet carbon nanotubes, highlighting the process's ability to capture and split CO2 to produce oxygen. [27] This body of work demonstrates that this electrochemical conversion of CO2 is low energy [28][29][30] and can be adjusted to create a variety of carbon nanomaterials with desirable properties, such as high conductivity, and form structures like "wool," thin-walled, magnetic, or helical CNTs, as well as aerogels of CNTs and graphene nano-scaffolds. [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] By 2020 CO2 had also been directly converted to graphene and carbon nano-onions, [40][41] and by 2022 into macro assemblies of CNTs and new graphene forms including nano-pearls, nano- bamboo, nano-trees. [42][43]

By 2024 the technology had been awarded the Carbon XPRIZE XFactor award for producing the most valuable product from CO2 , had been scaled to industrial plant size at Carbon Corp in Calgary, Canada, and had been used been to reduce the carbon footprint and increase the strength of materials including cements, polymers and buckypapers. [44][45][46][47][48][49] The value of this decarbonization technology arises from the unique properties of graphene nanocarbons such as exceptional strength, conductivity, solid lubrication, electronic and catalytic activity, the permanent storage of the capture CO2 , and the value and usefulness of the graphene nanocarbon products. This direct air capture (DAC) and carbon capture andutilization (CCS and CCUS) decarbonization chemistry has been termed C2CNT ® (CO2 To Carbon Nanomaterial Technology). A statue “The World on Our Shoulders” made using CO2 from the air by C2CNT ® is shown. These developments and patents [48] contribute to sensible, sustainable solutions of climate change mitigation.

Early life and education

edit

Stuart Licht was born in Boston, Massachusetts, continuing a family tradition in chemistry established by his father, Truman Light (a.k.a. Licht), and grandfather, Joseph Licht. Stuart Licht (a.k.a. Light) earned his B.Sc. in 1976 and his M.Sc. in 1980 from Wesleyan University, where he contributed to research in molecular quantum mechanics under the guidance of George Petersson. [50] Licht completed his Ph.D. in materials chemistry in 1985 at the Weizmann Institute of Science, focusing on photoelectrochemical liquid solar cells with Joost Manassen. This period also saw him conducting independent research on pH levels in high-alkalinity aqueous solutions and photoelectrochemical energy conversion. From 1986 to 1988, Licht was a postdoctoral fellow at MIT, collaborating with Mark Wrighton on studies involving microelectrode diffusion.

Stuart Licht began his academic career in 1988, holding the Carlson Chair in Chemistry at Clark University until 1995. During this period, Licht was elected Chair of the New England Section of the American Chemical Society, and also founded and chaired both the New England and Israel Section of the Electrochemical Society, where he is recognized as a Fellow. From 1995 to 2003, he served as the Gustella Award Israeli Immigrant Professor of Chemistry at the Technion, and held a position as Adjunct Fellow at Bar Ilan University from 2003 to 2005. Licht then became Department Chair of Chemistry at the University of Massachusetts from 2003 until 2008, and also worked as a Program Director at the National Science Foundation (NSF) between 2007 and 2008. In 2008, he joined George Washington University, where he has been appointed Professor Emeritus of Chemistry since 2023. In 2016, aiming to further the application of his decarbonization research, Licht founded C2CNT LLC and its subsidiaries: Carbon Corp (Canada), Carbon International LLC (US), Carbon Revolution LLC, along with Direct Air Capture LLC, to facilitate the transfer of academic research to industrial applications.

Research

edit

Stuart Licht's research primarily focuses on global decarbonization through the molten electrolysis of carbon dioxide to create nanocarbons, a method detailed in the section on Mitigation of Global Warming. Alongside this focus, his work spans fundamental studies in physical chemistry, renewable energy and climate mitigationchemistry, contributing to over 600 patents and papers. He holds editorial and co-authorship roles in significant works such as "Semiconductor Electrodes and Photoelectrochemistry" [ 6 ] and "The Solar Generation of Hydrogen: Towards a Renewable Energy Future."

  1. His research achievements include the development of highly efficient fuels derived from sunlight, such as hydrogen, carbon, syngas, and methane, [7][8][9][10][11][12] alongside pioneering the "STEP" solar process aimed at halting anthropogenic global warming. [21][22][23] [24] [25]Licht has also innovated in the creation of liquid solar cells capable of operating in darkness, [2][3][4][5] and developed high-capacity batteries using materials such as aluminum, zinc, sulfur, [13][14] super-iron,[15] and non-aqueous aluminum,[16] alongside redox polysulfide,[17] VB 2 air,[18] and molten air batteries.[19] Further, Licht has shown that light can be absorbed in domains smaller than its wavelength, [51] invented light addressable sensors,[52] established new benchmarks for ultraconcentrated and ultrapure water, [53][54][55] introduced multi-sensor electrochemical arrays,[56] and reevaluated the formation constant for sulfide minerals, indicating they are significantly lower than previously estimated.[57]
