The gradual increase of population and the consequential rise in
the energy demands in recent years have led to the widespread use
of fossil fuels. CO2 transformation by various processes is
considered as a promising alternative technology. This book sets
out the fundaments of how nanomaterials are being used for this
purpose. Nanomaterials for CO2 Capture, Storage, Conversion and
Utilization summarizes the research, development and innovations in
the capture, storage, transformation and utilization of CO2 into
useful products and raw chemicals for industry. This is achieved by
using advanced processes such as CO2 reforming, bi-reforming and
tri-reforming of hydrocarbons or biomass derivatives; homogeneous
and heterogeneous hydrogenation; photochemical reduction;
photoelectrochemical reduction; electrochemical reduction;
biochemical reduction; supercritical CO2 technology; advanced
catalyst synthesis for CO2 conversion; organic carbonates for
polymers synthesis from CO2, and CO2 capture and sequestration. The
systematic and updated reviews on the mentioned sectors, especially
on the use of nanotechnology for the transformation of CO2 is
scarce in the literature. Thus, the book addresses the recent
knowledge gaps and potential solutions of the storage, utilization
and transformation of CO2 as well as its promising applications.
This is an important reference source for materials scientists,
engineers and energy scientists who want to understand how
nanotechnology is helping us to solve some of the world's major
energy problems.
