Nanomaterials for Carbon Dioxide Capture and Conversion Technologies

Nanomaterials for Carbon Dioxide Capture and Conversion Technologies focuses on the applications of nanomaterials for CO2 capture and conversion. The book highlights the need for CO2 mitigation, followed by the basic principles for CO2 capture and conversion, using different nanomaterials, while also discussing and highlighting challenges and perspectives.

Abundant CO2 emissions from industries and the transportation sector are a threat to the planet due to overwhelming concerns regarding CO2-induced climate change. Nanomaterials are being widely investigated for CO2 capture and conversion processes. Nano absorbents, adsorbents and nanomembranes for CO2 capture, nano catalysts for catalytic CO2 conversion, and chemical fixation of CO2 are some of the broader applications of nanomaterials for CO2 mitigation.

• Helps readers understand the basic mechanisms and theories behind CO2 capture and conversion using nanomaterials
• Provides information on the range of nanomaterials types used in CO2 capture and storage systems
• Assesses the major challenges for integrating nanotechnology into carbon dioxide capture and storage systems at an industrial scale
