Abstract: This Perspective investigates the optimal properties of aerosol particles that might be considered for solar-radiation management techniques using stratospheric particle injections. The study shows that aerosol materials other than sulphuric acid are possibly better suited for potential solar-radiation management geoengineering activities aimed at mitigating global warming.
