Researchers at Stanford University have shown that porous polymer encapsulation of metal-supported catalysts can drive the selectivity of CO 2 conversion to hydrocarbons. Such polymer confinement modifies the CO 2 hydrogenation behavior of the Ru surface, significantly enhancing the C 2+ production turnover frequency.
