What Advances Have Been Made in Carbon Dioxide Reduction?
Catalysts for CO2 reduction are designed to convert carbon dioxide into useful hydrocarbons or alcohols. Advances in this area include the development of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and single-atom catalysts that offer high activity and selectivity. These catalysts facilitate the transformation of CO2 into methanol, ethanol, or other valuable compounds, offering a pathway to recycle carbon dioxide into the chemical economy.
