Resumen:

Recently, the use of nanoporous materials has attracted a renewed attention in the field of CO2 capture since they exhibit key advantages such as a large surface area to volume ratio, high reactivity, abundant active sites, and high adsorption capacity. Metal oxide nanoparticles and nanoporous carbons rank among the most popular nanomaterials for CO2 capture and could represent an innovative tool to enhance CO2 fixation during microalgae growth. Additionally, it has been demonstrated that metal nanoparticles such as Fe2O3, SiO2, and nanoporous carbon nanoparticles can stimulate microalgae metabolism, resulting in an improved biomass production rate and macromolecule accumulation. In this context, nanoparticles can be considered as a viable technology to boost both energy and nutrient recovery from wastewater. This chapter presents a state of the art of the application of nanoparticles to boost microalgae metabolism and discusses a perspective of their application for biogas upgrading. © 2025 Elsevier Ltd.
