An Artificial Biomimetic Catalysis Converting CO2 to Green Fuels

An Artificial Biomimetic Catalysis Converting CO2 to Green Fuels

Abstract Researchers devote to design catalytic systems with higher activity, selectivity, and stability ideally based on cheap and earth-abundant elements to reduce CO2 to value-added hydrocarbon fuels under mild conditions driven by visible light. This may offer profound inspirations on that. A bi...
