The current chemical industry is encountering an urgent need for CO₂ reduction. Producing CO and H₂ from CO₂ and H₂O by using renewable electricity might be a feasible solution to produce “carbon-neutral” chemicals and fuels. Developing easily scalable catalysts is key to this. In this issue of Chem Catalysis, Hahn and co-workers show that Zn–Cu catalysts enable efficient CO₂ electro-reduction.

廉价的 Zn-Cu 粉末可实现电化学 CO2 还原

当前的化工行业迫切需要减少CO ₂。通过使用可再生电力从 CO ₂和 H ₂ O生产 CO 和 H ₂可能是生产“碳中性”化学品和燃料的可行解决方案。开发易于扩展的催化剂是实现这一目标的关键。在本期Chem Catalysis 中，Hahn 及其同事表明，Zn-Cu 催化剂可实现高效的 CO ₂电还原。
