This research advances artificial photosynthesis by developing a dual-function “two-way” material that combines electrical conductivity and CO₂ adsorption. By pairing this material with simple powder-based fabrication, the study achieves dramatically improved reaction speed and efficiency, enabling scalable, sustainable carbon-neutral energy systems.

This research explores how rearranging atoms in crystal thin films can radically change material behavior. By engineering strain and atomic orientation in lanthanum strontium manganite films, the work links structure to electrical and magnetic properties, enabling the design of custom materials for next-generation electronics and computing technologies.
