A MOF nanoparticle@carbon aerogel integrated photothermal catalytic microreactor for CO2 utilization

Abstract

A practical carbon dioxide (CO₂) conversion and utilization system shows great potential for ameliorating the greenhouse effect. Herein, an integrated carbon aerogel-based photothermal catalysis microreactor with photothermal conversion, enhanced mass transfer adsorption and a thermal catalytic reactor is designed. As a solar-powered CO₂ utilization module, this microreactor can conveniently convert CO₂ into economically valuable products without elaborate equipment and operation processes.
