Light-driven reaction converts carbon dioxide into fuel and feedstock

A selective catalyst that transforms atmospheric CO2 into methane powered by ultraviolet light has potential for other industrial chemistry
A ‘swarm’ of 37nm rhodium nanocubes uses uv to convert carbon dioxide into methane at room temperatureOne of the problems with carbon dioxide is the strength of the carbon-oxygen bond. Potentially, CO2 in the atmosphere could be a valuable source of carbon for industrial processes, which would both reduce its concentration and cut raw material co
