What is Liquid‐Metal‐Enabled Mechanical‐Energy‐Induced CO~2~ Conversion about?
## Abstract A green carbon capture and conversion technology offering scalability and economic viability for mitigating CO~2~ emissions is reported. The technology uses suspensions of gallium liquid metal to reduce CO~2~ into carbonaceous solid products and O~2~ at near room temperature. The nonpolar nature of the liquid gallium interface allows the solid products to instantaneously exfoliate, hence keeping active sites accessible. The solid co‐contributor of silver–gallium rods ensures a cyclic sustainable process. The overall process relies on mechanical energy as the input, which drives nano‐dimensional triboelectrochemical reactions. When a gallium/silver fluoride mix at 7:1 mass ratio is employed to create the reaction material, 92% efficiency is obtained at a remarkably low input energy of 230 kWh (excluding the energy used for dissolving CO~2~) for the capture and conversion of a tonne of CO~2~. This green technology presents an economical solution for CO~2~ emissions.
