"Revolutionary Research Unlocks CO₂ Conversion into Sustainable Fuel"

Researchers have developed a material consisting of copper anchored on nanocrystalline carbon nitride, which, when exposed to sunlight, can efficiently convert CO2 into methanol, a green fuel. This breakthrough paves the way for creating sustainable fuels and reducing the impact of carbon dioxide, the primary contributor to global warming. The new catalyst, made of abundant elements like carbon, nitrogen, and copper, demonstrates high efficiency and selectivity, offering a promising pathway for the development of highly tunable catalysts at the nanoscale for CO2 conversion.
