A Breakthrough in Highly Efficient Near-Infrared Featured CO2 Reduction
In a recent breakthrough, scientists have developed a highly efficient near-infrared (NIR) featured catalyst for CO2 reduction. This new catalyst is capable of reducing 100% of the CO2 into valuable chemicals with an unprecedented efficiency in NIR light. The catalyst, which was developed by a team of researchers from the Fudan University in China, is a cobalt-based metal-organic framework (MOF). The new MOF catalyst uses sunlight to convert CO2 into valuable chemicals such as formic acid, methanol, and ethanol. This is an important step forward in the fight against climate change, as it offers a way to turn the harmful emissions into useful products. With this new technology, scientists are now one step closer to creating a truly sustainable way to reduce CO2 emissions.
