Spatially decoupled catalyst sites boost CO₂-to-methanol yield threefold at 300°C
Efficient methanol synthesis is considered a promising approach for carbon resource recycling. Hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO2) to methanol is thermodynamically favored at low temperatures, but the sluggish activation kinetics of CO2 under such conditions lead to low catalytic activity.
