Nanostructure of nickel-promoted indium oxide catalysts drives selectivity in CO2 hydrogenation

Palladium-promoted indium oxide is a catalyst with potential to realize the large-scale conversion of CO2 into the commodity methanol. This work focuses on the low-cost nickel as an alternative appealing promoter, revealing the atomic-level catalyst design unlocking maximal selectivity and activity.
