Scientists turn CO2 into fuel using breakthrough single-atom catalyst

Scientists turn CO2 into fuel using breakthrough single-atom catalyst - Date: - March 20, 2026 - Source: - ETH Zurich - Summary: - Researchers have created a cutting-edge catalyst that turns CO2 into methanol more efficiently than ever before. Instead of using clumps of metal atoms, they engineered a system where each single indium atom actively drives the reaction. This dramatically reduces energy needs while making the process easier to study and optimize. The result could accelerate the...
