Atomic/molecular layer deposition strategies for enhanced CO capture, utilisation and storage materials.

Elevated levels of carbon dioxide (CO) in the atmosphere and the diminishing reserves of fossil fuels have raised profound concerns regarding the resulting consequences of global climate change and the future supply of energy. Hence, the reduction and transformation of CO not only mitigates environmental pollution but also generates value-added chemicals, providing a dual remedy to address both energy and environmental challenges. Despite notable advancements, the low conversion efficiency of CO remains a major obstacle, largely attributed to its inert chemical nature.
