Nearly 10,000 mapped reactions reveal overlooked steps in CO₂-to-fuel conversion
Researchers have analyzed nearly 10,000 reactions to better understand a crucial step in converting carbon dioxide into fuel and other chemicals. The study focused on CO₂ hydrogenation, where carbon dioxide reacts with hydrogen over a catalyst. This process involves many tiny chemical steps happening on the surface of the catalyst.
Why it's good news: It could lead to more efficient ways of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by converting them into useful products.
