Can Nanotechnology Convert Gaseous Pollutants into Useful Products?
Yes, nanotechnology can also facilitate the conversion of gaseous pollutants into valuable products. For instance, carbon dioxide (CO2) can be converted into methanol or other hydrocarbons using nanocatalysts in a process known as carbon capture and utilization (CCU). This not only helps in reducing greenhouse gas emissions but also provides a sustainable way to produce useful chemicals.
