Single-Atom Indium Catalyst Enables Efficient CO2-to-Methanol Conversion

ETH Zurich researchers engineered a hafnium oxide-supported single-atom indium catalyst that dramatically lowers the energy required to convert CO2 and hydrogen into methanol, with each indium atom acting as an active site. This design offers clearer insight into reaction mechanisms, improved efficiency over nanoparticle catalysts, and durability under industrial conditions, potentially accelerating climate-friendly methanol production if powered by renewables.

Revolutionizing Cross-Coupling: Geminal-Atom Catalysis Unleashed

Researchers have developed geminal-atom catalysis, a new approach for cross-coupling reactions in organic synthesis. This method bridges the gap between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis by utilizing heterogeneous single-metal-site catalysts. Geminal-atom catalysis offers potential advantages such as improved selectivity, recyclability, and scalability, making it a promising tool for sustainable organic synthesis. The data for this study are available in the manuscript and supplementary information, as well as in the Zenodo repository.
