"Cuivre et CO₂ : plongée au cœur d’une alliance clé pour un avenir décarboné"
Researchers reveal the crucial role of copper and its mechanisms of action in the early stages of CO₂ reduction into high value-added products. The study, which combines pulsed radiolysis and molecular simulations, shows which copper catalyst species are most effective and why. A key step towards sustainable CO₂ recovery and a circular carbon economy.
