Role of Smart Materials in Environmental Remediation
CO 2 Capture and CO 2 Reduction
The industrial growth and the consequential rise in energy demands in recent years have led to the widespread use of fossil fuels. This consecutively results in huge emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the environment. Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is a copious gas among other GHGs and considered as the main culprit for global warming because of its increasing amount in the atmosphere. Capturing and storing of CO 2 emission needs serious attention from the research community to prevent its escalating concentration in the atmosphere. The conversion and reduction of CO 2 into other functional compounds is an alternate and potential solution to solve the environmental disturbance. The natural conversion of CO 2 to other compounds takes a lot of time and requires searching a solution to enhance this reaction. In the present chapter, the electrochemical and photochemical conversion approaches to convert CO 2 into fuel or chemical feedstock compounds are comprehensively discussed. CO 2 can be converted to carbon monoxide (CO) or CO‐rich feeds, hydrocarbons, and alcohols through catalytic hydrogenation, complex metal hydrides, electrochemical reduction, photocatalysis, and biological reduction.
