Porous 2D nano-photoreactive materials for carbon dioxide capture and photochemical conversion
For sustainable large-scale utilization of CO2, the commodity products of CO2 conversion processes should be economically viable and in high demand. However, there are a number of problems and limitations in existing approaches in the capture and conversion of CO2 into useful chemical products. This proposal aims to develop new layered double hydroxide (LDH) based…
