What are the Key Nanomaterials Used in Desulfurization?
Several types of nanomaterials have shown promise in desulfurization applications:
Metal Oxide Nanoparticles: Materials such as titanium dioxide (TiO2), zinc oxide (ZnO), and cerium oxide (CeO2) are commonly used due to their excellent catalytic properties. Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs): With their high surface area and unique electronic properties, CNTs are effective in adsorbing sulfur compounds from fuels. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs): These porous materials can be engineered to selectively adsorb sulfur compounds, making them highly efficient for desulfurization. Graphene Oxide: Due to its high surface area and functional groups, graphene oxide can effectively adsorb sulfur compounds and can be easily regenerated.
