The cover picture shows an artistic view of the photocatalytic activity of nickel nanoparticles (NiNPs) for CO 2 hydration. The CO 2 molecules emitted from the power plant react with water in the presence of NiNPs and sunlight to form carbonic acid. Sunlight enhances the activity of NiNPs for CO 2 hydration. NiNPs accelerate the rate of CO 2 absorption and aqueous mineralization. NiNPs are cheaper and easier to reuse than conventional catalysts. The plasmonic resonance of the NiNPs is a possible reason for this photocatalytic activity. Further details of the results can be found in the Full paper by Bhaduri et al .
