The Role of Nanotechnology for Energy Storage, Conservation and Post Combustion CO<sub>2</sub> Capture in Industry: A Review

Abstract

Nanotechnology is referred to as the science of nanoscale which is objects that range in nanometers in size. The use of nanomaterials in energy conversion and storage represents an opportunity to improve the performance, density and ease of transportation in renewable resources. Energy is an unavoidable theme in contemporary society, ranging from basic daily life to superior science and technology. Over increasing energy demand and always deteriorating environmental issues, electricity has turn out to be bottleneck and is hindering the development of society. The use of nanotechnology to increase a suite of sustainable power manufacturing schemes is one of the most necessary scientific challenges of the 21 st century. The challenge is to design, to synthesize, and to represent new useful nanomaterials with controllable sizes, shapes, and structures. And also now a day's a serious interset is required to reduce the level of CO 2 the use of advanced and environment friendly CO 2 seize technologies. Carbon dioxide seize and storage (CCS) applied sciences can also play an necessary function in this direction. Nanotechnology is used to seize CO 2 formore than a few industrial processes. This review is ordinarily centered on the role of nanotechnology in the electricity storage, conservation and post-combustion CO 2 absorption process. The features of nanomaterials and nanoparticles have been studied in the current work.

Research progress of aqueous Zn–CO2 battery: design principle and development strategy of a multifunctional catalyst

“…In recent years, the carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) (Chen et al, 2022c;de Oliveira Maciel et al, 2022;Jiang et al, 2022;Pfeiffer et al, 2022) technology has become a hot topic of research. Among them, metal-CO 2 batteries adopt CO 2 catalytic conversion and an energy storage solution where chemical energy is converted into green renewable electricity while reducing CO 2 emissions (Chu et al, 2016;Ahmadiparidari et al, 2019;Eskezia Ayalew, 2021). Compared with traditional ion batteries, metal-CO 2 batteries possess a higher specific capacity and energy density (Xiang Li et al, 2016;Qiao et al, 2017;Hu et al, 2019).…”

“…Based on its significant contribution to carbon neutrality (Chu et al, 2016;Ahmadiparidari et al, 2019;Eskezia Ayalew, 2021) and superiority in metal-gas batteries, the groundbreaking work of Zn-CO 2 batteries is exhibited in Figure 1. Aqueous Zn-CO 2 batteries originated from solar-powered CO 2 splitting batteries and later developed into a rechargeable unit, subsequently to a dual-model and self-driven system, toward the extent of a reversible one.…”
