Abstract

Dr. Marcus A. Worsley is an expert on Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene Aerogels which are going to be used as a support for photocatalysts for CO2 conversion to methane, methanol and ethanol. He is also discuss with students working on CO2 absorption project due to the possible use of the Aerogels in this application. (AU)
