Triazole-Based Catalyst Unlocks High-Efficiency CO₂-to-Methane Transformation Introduction: The Importance of CO ₂ Reduction Converting carbon dioxide ( CO ₂ ) — a major driver of climate change — into valuable fuels and chemicals has long been a key research objective. Recent advancements have introduced catalysts that can trigger electrochemical CO ₂ reduction reactions within electrolyzers. The CO ₂ Reduction Reaction In the CO ₂ reduction reaction, CO ₂ molecules undergo a chemical transformation to produce fuels or other compounds. Common catalysts for this process in electrolyzers have typically been metals like copper, silver, and gold. Limitations of Metal-Based Catalysts Metal-based catalysts often have limited tunability, making it difficult to precisely convert CO ₂ into targeted chemical products. Consequently, recent studies have explored the potential of non-metallic catalysts for CO ₂ conversion...
