As an important part of global carbon neutrality strategies, carbon dioxide (CO) capture, utilization, and storage technologies have emerged as critical solutions for reducing carbon emissions. However, conventional CO applications, including food preservation, industrial synthesis, and enhanced oil recovery, face inherent limitations such as suboptimal gas-liquid mass transfer efficiency and inadequate long-term stability. Recent advancements in CO micro-nanobubbles (CO MNBs) have demonstrated remarkable potential across multidisciplinary domains, owing to their distinctive physicochemical characteristics encompassing elevated internal pressure, augmented specific surface area, exceptional stability, etc. In this review, we try to comprehensively explore the unique physicochemical properties of CO MNBs and their emerging applications, including industrial, agricultural, environmental, and energy fields. Furthermore, we provide a prospective analysis of how these minuscule bubbles can emerge as pivotal in future technological innovations. We also offer novel insights and directions for research and applications across related fields. Finally, we engage in predicting their future development trends as a promising technological pathway for advancing carbon neutrality objectives.
作为全球碳中和战略的重要组成部分，二氧化碳（CO₂）捕集、利用与封存技术已成为减少碳排放的关键解决方案。然而，传统的CO₂应用，包括食品保鲜、工业合成和提高石油采收率，面临着诸如气液传质效率欠佳和长期稳定性不足等固有局限性。CO₂微纳米气泡（CO₂ MNBs）的最新进展已在多学科领域展现出显著潜力，这归因于其独特的物理化学特性，包括内部压力升高、比表面积增大、稳定性卓越等。在本综述中，我们试图全面探究CO₂ MNBs的独特物理化学性质及其新兴应用，包括工业、农业、环境和能源领域。此外，我们对这些微小气泡如何在未来技术创新中发挥关键作用进行前瞻性分析。我们还为相关领域的研究和应用提供新颖的见解和方向。最后，我们预测它们作为推进碳中和目标的一条有前景的技术途径的未来发展趋势。
