Caption

Scientists from China University of Petroleum have developed new strategies using carbon-based catalysts in CO2 hydrogenation that make use of the many varied roles that carbon can play in catalytic reactions from material support to structural modification, as electronic regulators of the reaction, to acting as the catalysts themselves.
