The Hidden Role of Water in Solar-Powered CO2 Conversion

Scientists have been looking into ways to turn carbon dioxide into useful stuff using sunlight. They made a special material by mixing aluminum oxide with strontium titanate. This mix was created using a method that involves melting salts. The goal was to see how well this material could split water and reduce carbon dioxide when exposed to light. To figure out ...

Turning Carbon Dioxide into Fuel: A Smart Twist on Catalysis

The world is buzzing about climate change and how to cut down on CO2. One clever idea is to turn this gas into useful stuff like hydrocarbons. This isn't just about reducing CO2; it's about making something valuable from it. Scientists have come up with a neat trick using a special mix of materials called CdS-MnO2. This mix is made using a simple method that involves...
