Stanford engineers develop catalyst strategy to improve turnover frequencies for CO2 conversion to hydrocarbons by orders of magnitude

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Stanford University have shown that porous polymer encapsulation of metal-supported catalysts can drive the selectivity of CO 2 conversion to hydrocarbons. The bonding of carbon to carbon requires heat and great pressure, making the process expensive and energy intensive. —Zhou et al.
