Sugar-based catalyst upcycles carbon dioxide - EurekAlert
<p>New catalyst is made from an inexpensive, abundant metal and table sugar. Catalyst converts carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) into carbon monoxide, a building block for producing a variety of useful chemicals including syngas. With recent advances in carbon capture technologies, post-combustion carbon capture is becoming a plausible option to help tackle the global climate change crisis. But how to handle the captured carbon remains an open-ended question. The new catalyst potentially could provide one solution for disposing the potent greenhouse gas by converting it into a more valuable product.</p>
