Greenery-inspired nanoengineering of bamboo-like hierarchical porous nanotubes with spatially organized bifunctionalities for synergistic photothermal catalytic CO2 fixation

The hollow tubular core–shell photocatalyst (Ni-BNCNTs@HMPs-NH 2 ) exhibits superior activity and stability for the photothermal conversion of CO 2 to cyclic carbonates under mild and co-catalyst/solvent-free conditions.
