Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory discovered a new method to tripled methanol yield in a CO2-hydrogenating catalyst, using ion swap technique with copper nanoparticles on barium titanate.
Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory found a new method to enhance catalyst efficiency in converting CO2 to methanol. By implanting specific elements near metal nanoparticles' interface with support, they tripled methanol yield in a CO2-hydrogenating catalyst with copper nanoparticles on barium titanate. This ion swap technique could contribute to global net-zero CO2 emissions targets by 2050.
