Catalyst converts CO₂ into high-value industrial chemical at room temperature with record efficiency

Researchers have developed a new catalyst capable of converting carbon dioxide into 2-propanol, a valuable industrial chemical, with remarkable efficiency at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure. This achievement, reported in 'Applied Catalysis B: Environment and Energy,' marks a significant advancement in sustainable chemistry by enabling the direct synthesis of complex molecules from CO₂ without requiring high-pressure equipment. The catalyst employs a dual-pathway mechanism, allowing precise control over carbon atom bonding to achieve high selectivity and yield. The technology could facilitate the commercialization of green processes that repurpose carbon emissions into usable products.
