Advances in mesoporous material for adsorption and photoconversion of CO₂ in environmental pollution: Clean environment and clean energy

Adsorption and photoconversion of CO₂ are alternative methods to reduce global gas emissions. However, to get optimal results, a material with specific properties is needed to increase the efficiency of removal and conversion of CO₂. Currently, mesoporous-based materials are getting much attention to be developed for adsorption and photocatalyst CO₂ because they have a large specific surface area. However, these characteristics are still likely to continue to be improved in various ways. This review summarized some potential ways to increase adsorption capacity and photoconversion of CO₂ compounds through the synthesis of routes, modifications, and composite systems. In addition, this review has also discussed the application of mesoporous materials for smart surfaces by paying attention to the toxicity and stability value of the material. Expectantly, this review can be used for references to develop mesoporous materials that focus on CO₂ adsorption and conversion in the future.
