Abstract
Catalysts, particularly nanocatalysts, useful for converting carbon dioxide into desired conversion products, such as sustainable chemicals and fuels. The nanocatalysts may comprise at least one nanoparticle having a main component and a secondary component, wherein at least one of the main component and the secondary component facilitates the conversion of carbon dioxide. The present disclosure also relates to methods for preparing the nanocatalysts described herein and methods of using the same.
Claims20
A method for making a nanocatalyst nanoparticle comprising:
- providing a precursor nanoparticle having a precursor component, wherein the precursor component comprises a chemical bond;
- breaking the chemical bond;
- and
- obtaining the nanocatalyst nanoparticle,
- wherein the nanocatalyst nanoparticle comprises a main component and a secondary component doped on a surface of the nanocatalyst nanoparticle.
