| Abstract: | The present invention relates to a procedure for the design and controlled synthesis of Mn3O4 nanomaterials using precipitation and solvothermal methods. More particularly, this invention encompasses the synthesis of 2D Mn3O4 nanomaterials and 3D Mn3O4 by the self-assembly of 2D Mn3O4 by controlling the reaction time. The deep-eutectic-solvent is used as a reaction solvent as well as a nanomaterial structure-controlling agent. The nitrogen-rich g-C3N4 is synthesized using ammonium chloride as a nitrogen source and used to prepare nitrogen-rich g-C3N4/ Mn3O4 composites. The synthesized nanomaterials are characterized using various analytic methods. The morphology of Mn3O4 was found as 2D flakes using the precipitation method. The Mn3O4 nanomaterials synthesized using the solvothermal method were obtained as more 2D flakes at 3 hours of synthesis reaction time and formed 3D peanut-shaped particles (2D-flakes self-assembly) at 12 hours of synthesis reaction time. The synthesized nanomaterials and composites are used for CO2 adsorption and conversion to value-added chemicals. The obtained results indicate that synthesized materials'' morphology significantly impacted CO2 adsorption and its conversion. | ||
