Design Principles of Catalytic Materials for CO2 Hydrogenation to Methanol (Adv. Mater. 48/2024)

Catalysts for Green Methanol Synthesis Designing catalysts for the sustainable production of platform chemicals remains a formidable challenge. In article number 2409322, Thaylan Pinheiro Araújo, Sharon Mitchell, and Javier Pérez‐Ramírez propose unified design principles, centered around symbiotic interfaces that integrate acid‐base and redox functions for selective CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. They demonstrate how complex architectures combining tailored active phases, supports, and promoters can enhance functionality.
