Cu Nanocluster Engineering Boosts CO2-to-Fuel Conversion
Researchers from Tohoku University and IIT Indore have developed a copper nanocluster that improves the electrochemical conversion of CO2 into methanol. By modulating the Cu(I)/Cu(II) ratio, the team successfully suppressed unwanted formate byproducts to increase reaction efficiency.
A collaborative research team from Tohoku University and the Indian Institute of Technology Indore has made a significant breakthrough in carbon dioxide (CO₂) conversion. Their discovery offers a promising strategy for converting harmful CO₂ into valuable fuels and chemicals under mild conditions, advancing efforts toward sustainable carbon utilization and clean energy technologies. The findings were published in JACS Au on June 30, 2026.
