How Can Nanocatalysts Convert CO2 into Useful Products?
Nanocatalysts are materials at the nanoscale that accelerate chemical reactions, including the conversion of CO2 into valuable products. By using nanoparticles of metals like gold, silver, and copper, scientists can develop catalysts that facilitate reactions under milder conditions and with higher efficiency. For example, converting CO2 into methane or methanol can provide alternative fuels and reduce reliance on fossil resources.
