Nature Communications, Published online: 14 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-72876-w Controlling the intrinsic activity and long-term stability of active sites is crucial for advancing catalyst design. Here, the authors investigate how doping c-In₂O₃ with Sn or Zr modifies its structural dynamics, thereby affecting the local structure, catalytic activity, and stability during CO₂ hydrogenation to methanol.
