Successful CO₂ reduction under visible light photocatalysis using porous NiO nanoparticles, an atypical metal oxide

Abstract

An efficient wet chemical one-pot synthesis strategy for the preparation of NiO nanoparticles has been reported. The nano-structured NiO has surface bound hexamine and it has emerged as a proficient...

Insights into Enzyme Reactions with Redox Cofactors in Biological Conversion of CO2

“…Studies on the mitigation and use of CO 2 are being conducted in various applications such as metal-and nanomaterials-fused electrochemical catalysis, photocatalysis, and biological catalysis [13][14][15]. Among these, Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is the most abundant component of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and directly creates environmental issues such as global warming and climate change.…”

Fabricating carbon nitride-based 3D/0D intramolecular donor–acceptor catalysts for efficient photoreduction of CO2

“…A great number of photocatalysts, for example, metal oxides, metal sulfide, organic polymers, metal organic frameworks, and covalent organic frameworks, have been developed to catalyze the conversion of CO 2 to hydrocarbon fuels. [15][16][17][18] Organic polymer carbon nitride (g-CN) is attracting increasing attention since Wang et al found its application in photocatalysis hydrogen evolution. 19,20 In the past few years, g-CN has been widely studied in the field of photocatalysis CO 2 reduction due to its suitable band gap for visible light absorption, strong redox ability, low costs, and ecofriendly properties.…”
