A method for preparing a nano carbon dioxide agent and an application of the agent are disclosed. The method takes cationic surfactant modified bentonite as a carrier, and the CO.sub.2 nano agent prepared by loading cationic surfactant modified chitosan, graphene oxide and organic alkali modified hydrotalcite has the photocatalytic effect of nano materials, which can enhance photosynthesis, increase photosynthetic rate, inhibit light respiration at night, synthesize chlorophyll for crop growth, accumulate three essential elements of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen for crop growth, effectively absorb, synthesize and transform organic components such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in soil, fully promote the gestation, growth and maturity of crops, and increases production and income. The CO.sub.2 capture agent of the disclosure can be used for both facility crops and field crops, and the CO2 capture agent under normal temperature and pressure has wide application.

Disclosed is a method for preparing a hybrid organic/inorganic composition including inorganic nanoparticles functionalized by at least one molecule chosen from photoluminescent charged organic molecules, the method including bringing into contact, in a single-phase solvent medium, at least one photoluminescent charged organic molecule and non-swelling phyllosilicate nanoparticles having a thickness of 1 nm to 100 nm, and a larger dimension of 10 nm to 10 μm. Also disclosed are hybrid photoluminescent nanoparticles compositions obtained by this method.

Dangerous, toxic, and/or radioactive volatiles are produced from nuclear fission, nuclear decay, and/or as a byproduct from vitrification of radioactive wastes. Such volatiles are treated during and after vitrification of the radioactive waste, to be converted into fixed-chemicals, that are retained in, on, and/or proximate to a cold-cap located vertically above vitrified melt. The cold-cap may have one or more volatile fixing additives (VFAs) for retaining the fixed-chemicals. The VFAs are located in and/or the cold-cap. The vitrification may occur within at least one human-made cavern. The human-made cavern may be located within a deep geologic rock formation. The deep geologic rock formation may be located at least 2,000 feet below a terrestrial surface of the Earth. The human-made cavern may be formed by first drilling a wellbore from the terrestrial surface to the deep geologic rock formation and then underreaming the wellbore into the deep geologic rock formation.
