An OIST Manganese-Based Catalyst In The News!

Source: 
International Media
Publication Date: 
Monday, 10. July 2017 - 14:30

The Coordination Chemistry and Catalysis Unit recently published a new catalyst for the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO2) leading to chemicals useful in the industry (such as formic acid and formamide) and enabling energy storage technology.

While existing hydrogenation catalysts require the use of precious metals or unstable (in presence of oxygen) phosphines, the new catalyst is based on Earth-abundant manganese.

 

So far the story has been featured in the following outlets:

  • Science Daily
  • Health Medicine Network
  • Phys.org
  • AZO Materials
  • Research and Development Magazine
