Transition metal carbides as novel materials for CO 2 capture, storage, and activation

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: Transition metal carbides are posed as promising materials for carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) capture and storage at room temperature and low pressures, as shown by density functional simulations on proper models, and estimates of adsorption/desorption rates. Aside, the activated nature of the adsorbed CO 2 opens the path for its conversion into other valuable chemicals.
