New catalytic system for conversion of CO2 to methanol shows much higher activity than others now in use

Green Car Congress

Scientists at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, with colleagues from the University of Seville (Spain) and Universidad Central de Venezuela, have discovered a new, highly active catalytic system for converting carbon dioxide to methanol. CH 3 OH conversion not seen over a Cu-Zn alloy. Click to enlarge.

Brookhaven team identifies active sites on catalysts for converting CO2 to methanol

Green Car Congress

This catalyst—made of copper, zinc oxide, and aluminum oxide—is used in industry, but it’s not very efficient or selective. This work clearly demonstrates the synergy from combining theoretical and experimental efforts for studying catalytic systems of industrial importance. Click to enlarge. —Jingguang Chen.
