Visible light photoreforming of greenhouse gases by nano Cu-Al LDH intercalated with urea-derived anions.

ABSTRACT: The accumulation of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere causes global warming. Global efforts are carried out to prevent temperature overshooting and limit the increase in the Earth's surface temperature to 1.5 °C. Carbon dioxide and methane are the largest contributors to global warming. We have synthesized copper-aluminium layered double hydroxide (Cu-Al LDH) catalysts by urea hydrolysis under microwave (MW) irradiation. The effect of MW power, urea concentration, and M^II/M^III ratios was studied. The physicochemical properties of the prepared LDH catalysts were characterized by several analysis techniques. The results confirmed the formation of the layered structure with the intercalation of urea-derived anions. The urea-derived anions enhanced t
