SUTD and A*STAR researchers created a method to synthesize 2D mica nanosheets rapidly for efficient CO2 capture, enhancing carbon emission mitigation efforts. This innovation, more energy-efficient and quicker than previous methods, results in eMica nanosheets with superior CO2 adsorption properties. These nanosheets offer applications in environmental management, particularly in capturing atmospheric CO2. The process leverages microwave chemistry and solvothermal mechanochemistry, achieving significant advances in material science for sustainability. This technology holds promise for the power generation sector and environmental agencies focused on reducing carbon footprints.
