NANOPARTICLES TO CONVERT WASTE CO2
Prof. Dr. Raffaella Buonsanti

“A sustainable society will need scientists to develop ways to produce and store renewable energy and to safeguard clean air. We use tiny particles (nanoparticles) and their unique properties to simulate plants, which store energy into chemical bonds. For example, we are learning how to convert waste CO2 into useful compounds using the energy from the sun in the form of light and electricity.“
