Chemists at Ohio State University have developed a novel method to convert carbon dioxide into methanol using cobalt phthalocyanine molecules on carbon nanotubes. By applying an electrical current, they achieved an efficient transformation, enhancing methanol production through a controlled reaction environment. This breakthrough, visualized with in-situ spectroscopy, allows for optimizing catalytic processes and has significant potential for sustainable fuel production and other industrial applications.
