Abstract:The cover picture shows an artistic view of the photocatalytic activity of nickel nanoparticles (NiNPs) for CO2 hydration. The CO2 molecules emitted from the power plant react with water in the presence of NiNPs and sunlight to form carbonic acid. Sunlight enhances the activity of NiNPs for CO2 hydration. NiNPs accelerate the rate of CO2 absorption and aqueous mineralization. NiNPs are cheaper and easier to reuse than conventional catalysts. The plasmonic resonance of the NiNPs is a possible reason for this ph… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
