Abstract:
The simultaneous shaping and confinement of Cu-based MOP in alginate-SiO2 spheres significantly enhance the mechanical strength and leaching resistance of Cu-MOP. The resulting MOP-alginate-SiO2 is shown through chemical fixation of CO2 to exhibit improved product yield over the parent Cu-MOP and Cu-alginate-SiO2.
