Description

Photoelectrochemical and Enzymatic Conversion of CO2 into Fuels: A Shift Towards Net Zero Energy Landscape introduces a comprehensive guide on the effective utilization of renewable energy to convert CO2 into fuels or commodity chemicals, presenting new materials such as MXenes and phosphorenes that are now being used in the catalytic conversion of CO2. This book provides guidelines on how the structural variation of catalysts will impact the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, presenting a detailed mechanism of CO2 conversion through different conversion methods such as photo reduction, electrochemical reduction, photoelectrochemical reduction, and enzymatic reduction.

This will be a welcomed resource for researchers, students, academicians, engineers, and environmental experts and agencies studying the effects and benefits of the conversion of carbon dioxide into fuels for sustainable and renewable energy.
