CATCH-ITN: Establishing the structure-reactivity relations for copper-CATalyzed CO2 Hydrogenation KU Leuven
Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air and using it to make synthetic fuel may be the ultimate solution to climate change. One of the most promising approaches is the direct reduction of CO2 to methanol. Although this reaction is catalyzed industrially by chemically prepared Cu/ZnO nanoparticles supported on Al2O3, it still requires high pressures and high temperatures making this technology expensive. Improving the catalyst ...
