Chapter 8. Nanocatalysts for CO2 Conversion

Abstract

This chapter focuses on recent progress in nanoparticle design and synthesis for selective conventional catalytic, photocatalytic, electrocatalytic, photoelectrocatalytic and photothermal catalytic conversions of CO2 to reusable low carbon-based products, such as carbon monoxide, methane, methanol, formic acid, ethylene and many more, as sustainable feedstocks for fuels (or precursors) and chemicals, in order to protect our natural environment.
