Cobalt-copper tandem converts carbon dioxide to ethanol

Positioning cobalt and copper in close proximity on an electrode facilitates selective conversion of the greenhouse gas CO₂ to ethanol / Prime example of sustainable chemical research

The continuing release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is a major driver of global warming and climate change with increased extreme weather events. Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have now presented a method for effectively converting carbon dioxide into ethanol, which is then available as a sustainable raw material for chemical applications.
