Climate change due to excessive CO2 levels is one of the most serious problems humankind has ever faced. CO2 emissions need to be reduced urgently to avoid potentially dangerous and irreversible effects of climate change. To mitigate such emissions, CO2 capture is one of the best solutions. Scientists have now developed novel functionalized nanomaterials that can capture CO2 with superior capture capacity and stability over conventional sorbents.
