Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have discovered a new way to train microbes to make n -butanol. Here we have harnessed the power of microbes to convert carbon dioxide into value-added multi-carbon compounds in a usable biofuel. We hope that it can be a steppingstone for future sustainable solar fuel production.

They then used high-temperature pyrolysis to convert the atoms to catalytically active sites within the framework. Along with PNNL, researchers from Washington University in St. A two-step encapsulation and ligand-exchange approach effectively introduces CoN 4 complexes into the ZIF-8 micropores. —Yuyan Shao.
