Researchers have developed a new triazole molecular catalyst for efficiently converting carbon dioxide into methane. Unlike traditional metal-based catalysts, this organic catalyst offers greater control over the reduction process, enabling selective production of desired chemicals.
The team created a system using this catalyst and achieved promising results in tests, demonstrating efficient conversion of CO2 to methane with high turnover frequency. Their research indicates that the catalyst facilitates the CO2 reduction through a specific chemical pathway involving several intermediary steps.
This breakthrough highlights the potential of triazole molecular catalysts for large-scale and selective conversion of CO2 into valuable fuels and chemicals, offering a new avenue for addressing climate change and producing sustainable energy resources.
