CO2-Switchable colloids

Abstract

The development and design of CO₂-switchable colloidal particles is described. A presentation of the principles of CO₂ switching, especially as they apply to colloids, is followed by recent progress in the preparation of several types of colloidal particles (polymer nanoparticles, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), quantum dots, graphene, cellulose nanocrystals, carbon nanotubes) for various applications (Pickering stabilizers, catalysts, latexes), and our perspective on future opportunities.
