Abstract

The surge in atmospheric carbon dioxide has become a major contributor to the global warming effect. Using geology for CO2 capture and storage (CCS) has been identified as a new and highly efficient mitigation measure. Hydrate-based CO2 capture and storage is a promising technology for capturing CO2 from the plants and storageing CO2 as hydrate. The barriers for the new technology is the low formation rate and high energy cost. The purpose of this review is to summarize the influence of various nanoparticles on CO2 hydrate, and to understand the influence mechanism of different nanoparticles on CO2 hydrate, so as to provide a reasonable basis for future research.
