Multicomponent catalytic system efficiently converts carbon dioxide to methanol

Green Car Congress

Inspired by naturally occurring processes, a team of Boston College chemists used a multi-catalyst system to convert carbon dioxide to methanol at the lowest temperatures reported with high activity and selectivity. The third catalyst in the system, which is typically incompatible with the first catalyst, then converts this ester to methanol.
