TL;DR: The introduction of metallic Cu nanoparticles on Cu2 O films is described to change the product distribution from gaseous products on bare Cu1 O to predominantly CH3 OH by CO2 reduction in aqueous solutions.

TL;DR: As a support and ligand, silica boosts cobalt catalysts to selectively hydrogenate CO2 into the desired methanol product, providing support for rationally controlling these reaction pathways.

TL;DR: In this paper, the utilization of light irradiation to tune the photothermal catalysis has been investigated, which couples both solar and thermal energies, has burgeoned as a promising approach to drive catalytic reactions.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive experimental and theoretical calculation study of a series of ZnO/Cu nanocrystals inverse catalysts with well-defined Cu structures was conducted to identify the active sites of Cu-ZnO catalysts for water gas shift and CO hydrogenation reactions.

TL;DR: The empirical optimization of the preparation of catalytically active copper-containing catalysts is far more advanced than the fundamental understanding of the catalyst performance because of the complexity of the catalytic design as mentioned in this paper.
