Bio-Inspired Nanostructured Catalysts for CO2 Valorization: Green Chemistry Approaches in Polymer Nanocomposites for Sustainable Energy Solutions
Abstract: Artificial photosynthesis is a pioneering technology inspired by natural photosynthetic processes, offering a sustainable solution to address global energy crises and mitigate environmental impact. By harnessing solar energy, artificial photosynthesis aims to convert carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water into high-energy chemicals, such as methanol and hydrogen, while concurrently reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions. This innovative process represents a transformative shift toward carbon-neutral or even carbon-negative energy production, helping reduce dependency …

Nanostructured Catalysts for Sustainable CO2 Reduction: Advancing Green Chemistry and Polymer Composites
Abstract: This study provides a comprehensive analysis of advanced nanostructured catalysts designed to enhance the efficiency of artificial photosynthesis for sustainable fuel production. We systematically evaluated a range of nanomaterials—including metal oxides, plasmonic nanoparticles, and carbon-based composites—to determine their effectiveness in converting solar energy into storable chemical fuels. The catalysts were synthesized via sol-gel, hydrothermal, and green methods, and their properties were thoroughly characterized using XRD, SEM, TEM, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and …

Nanostructured Catalysts for Sustainable CO2 Reduction: Advancing Green Chemistry and Polymer Composites
Abstract: Artificial photosynthesis is the advancement of a process that utilizes sunlight to convert CO₂ and H₂O into high-energy fuels (methanol, hydrogen) analogous to photosynthetic pathways. Carbon-neutral energy is critical to tackling climate change, and this method provides a solution by offering an alternative to fossil fuels while also minimizing greenhouse gas emissions. Nanostructured catalysts such as plasmonic metals and hybrid nanocomposites greatly improve efficiency and scaling. Recent developments in the …
