"Sustainability", "resilience", and other terms group under the heading of "stability." Their ubiquity speaks to a vital need to characterise changes in complex social and environmental systems. In a bewildering array of terms, practical measurements are essential to permit comparisons and so untangle underlying relationships.

Enhanced CO Capture Using TiO Nanoparticle-Functionalized Solvent: A Study on Absorption Experiments.

Nanomaterials (Basel)

February 2025

Department of Chemical Engineering Materials Environment, Sapienza University of Rome, via Eudossiana 18, 00184 Rome, Italy.

The growing amount of carbon dioxide (CO) in the atmosphere significantly contributes to global warming and climate change. This study focuses on the use of aqueous potassium carbonate (KCO) solutions as a solvent for CO absorption, emphasizing the role of titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles in enhancing performance. A detailed understanding of reaction kinetics and the dynamic behavior of the absorber is crucial for optimizing the process.

Sn-doped TiO-carbon composites were identified as promising multifunctional supports for Pt electrocatalysts, in which the oxide component enhances resistance against corrosion and strong metal-support interactions at the Pt-oxide boundary ensure high stability for the Pt nanoparticles. This work is devoted to the study of the influence of preliminary functionalization of the carbon on the properties of Pt/TiSnO-C catalysts. The structural, compositional and morphological differences between the samples prepared using functionalized or unmodified carbon, as well as the effect of carbon pre-modification on the electrocatalytic behavior of the synthesized Pt catalysts, were investigated using TEM, XRD, XPS, nitrogen adsorption and electrochemical measurements.
