The efficient conversion of carbon dioxide, a major air pollutant, into ethanol or higher alcohols is a big challenge in heterogeneous catalysis, generating great interest in both basic scientific research and commercial applications. The key to this is the well-tuned interplay between the cesium, copper, and zinc oxide sites.

Among the major pollutants, nitrogen oxide (NO x ) accumulation can cause severe respiratory diseases and imbalance in the Earth’s nitrogen cycle. Recently, the conversion of NO x into harmless or even useful nitrogen products has emerged as a promising strategy. An open-access paper on the work is published in Nature Communications.

Researchers from Northwestern University and Princeton University have explored the impact on US air quality from an aggressive conversion of internal combustion vehicles to battery-powered electric vehicles (EVs). This despite evidence that suggests air pollution impacts from the transportation sector exceed those from greenhouse gases. …
