TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive reaction network for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol on supported Cu catalysts is studied using periodic density functional theory calculations, and all of the elementary reaction steps in the reaction network are identified in an unbiased way with the dimer method.

TL;DR: This paper showed that the dominant source of C in the methanol product gradually shifts from CO 2 to CO as the temperature is lowered, with formate playing a spectator co-adsorbate role.

TL;DR: Thiourea covalent-linked graphene oxide framework (TU-GOF) membranes on porous ceramics are developed through a facile hydrothermal self-assembly synthesis and feature excellent sieving capabilities for small species, leading to high hydrogen permselectivities and nearly complete rejections for methanol and small ions in gas, solvent, and saline water separations.

TL;DR: A novel hexagonal In2O3 with high proportion of exposed {104} facets shows superior performance for CO2 hydrogenation to CH3OH and proves highly effective in the rational design and experimental realization of oxide catalysts for industry-relevant reactions.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates a thermally stable catalytic system consisting of Pt nanoparticles that are supported on a TiO2 nanofiber and coated with a porous SiO2 sheath that offers an energy barrier to prevent the migration of individual Pt atoms or nanoparticles because of its weak interaction with late transition metals.
