Greener Carbon Dioxide Reduction Beckons Robust organic catalyst for hydrosilylation also yields attractive coproducts

摘要

A FULLY recyclable,highly selective and tunable metal-free catalyst for carbon dioxide(CO)reduction could offer an environmentally friendly path to reducing CO2 while also yielding industrially important formate products,say researchers at the Tokyo Institute of Technology(Tokyo Tech),Tokyo,and the Renewable Energy Research Center at Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology(AIST),Tokyo.
