"DNA-Tethered Catalysts: A Game-Changer for Converting CO2 into Sustainable Fuel"

A research team at DGIST has developed a high-efficiency photocatalyst that utilizes sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into methane fuel, offering a promising solution for Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) technology. The photocatalyst features dual active spots and improves electron transfer performance, converting methane 51 times more than commercially available photocatalysts. This environmentally friendly technology could play a crucial role in reducing carbon dioxide emissions and addressing climate change crises.
