chemical products

From single atoms to a chemistry without fossil raw materials | Methanol is an important raw material for chemical products. Researchers at ETH Zurich are now producing it very efficiently from CO₂ and hydrogen. They use isolated metal atoms as catalysts for this process

Using individual atoms to achieve fossil-free chemistry— Methanol is a key starting material for chemical products. Researchers from ETH Zurich can now produce this precursor from CO2 and hydrogen with high efficiency by using isolated metal atoms as catalysts.
