One photon, two reactions-new catalyst converts CO₂ and biowaste simultaneously
✦AI Summary
Researchers at the University of Nottingham have developed a solar-driven catalyst that simultaneously converts CO2 and biowaste into valuable chemicals. The process uses a single photon to drive both oxidation and reduction reactions in a photoelectrochemical reactor.
Why it matters
This innovation offers a sustainable pathway for carbon capture and plastic production, potentially reducing industrial reliance on fossil fuels.
