Nanomaterial’s Pioneering Solutions for Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Clean Energy Advancement

Abstract

The paper reviews some of the key roles of nanomaterials, especially carbon nanotubes, graphene, and metal nanoparticles, in greenhouse gas mitigation and developing clean energy technologies. Results from the experiment confirm that platinum nanoparticles enhance catalytic efficiency in the conversion of CO2, based on catalyst activity of 0.90 mol CO2/g with a reaction efficiency of 90%, which, for mitigation of greenhouse gases, is quite effective. Carbon nanotubes achieve exceptional performances in several catalytic activities and energy storage; hence, up to 95 percent in lithium-ion batteries, they are very important material components as far as integrating solutions for energy and the environment goes. Graphene improves fuel cell efficiency. Metal nanoparticles improve solar cell performance. It is concluded that nanomaterials are offering very strong potential both for transformation to greener energy systems and the mitigation of climate change, but challenges related to scalability and cost are yet to be overcome. Therefore, further research and development are necessary to fully unlock the potential of such materials in large-scale applications
