A new catalyst built from isolated indium atoms allows scientists to convert CO2 into methanol more efficiently while revealing the hidden chemistry that drives the reaction.

Efficient conversion of CO 2 is strategically significant for alleviating the energy crisis and achieving the goal of carbon neutrality. One promising conversion route is the hydrogenation of CO 2 to ...

What if the basic building block for fuels and plastics didn’t come from oil or gas, but from captured CO2 and green hydrogen? You’ve probably heard the buz ...

Encapsulating copper nanoparticles within hydrophobic porous silicate crystals has been shown to significantly enhance the catalytic activity of copper-zinc oxide catalysts used in methanol synthesis ...

In a study led by Prof. Peng Gao and Prof. Shenggang Li (CAS Key Laboratory of Low-Carbon Conversion Science and Engineering, Shanghai Advanced Research Institute), it was found that the hydrogenation ...

Dramatic improvements have been made to the process of converting carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, to methanol, a fuel and building block for a wide range of everyday materials, according to ...

The goal of carbon dioxide (CO 2) hydrogenation is to turn pollution into fuel. This process transforms CO 2, one of the main greenhouse gases, into chemical products and renewable fuels. One ...

The goal of carbon neutrality is of paramount concern, with industry leaders and scientists researching various strategic methods to reduce CO 2 emissions. The Intergovernmental Panel for Climate ...

Imagine an open ocean, Sun beating down overhead, with 70 islands of solar panels, each 100 meters (328 feet) in diameter, bobbing silently out toward the horizon. This plan was outlined in a PNAS ...
