Carbon Nanomaterials From Metal-Organic Frameworks: A New Material Horizon for CO2 Reduction

Carbon Nanomaterials From Metal-Organic Frameworks: A New Material Horizon for CO2 Reduction

The rise of CO2 in the atmosphere, which results in severe climate change and temperature increase, is known as the major reason for the greenhouse effect. Reducing CO2 to value-added products is an attractive solution to this severe problem, along with addressing the energy crisis, to which the cat...
