Selective CO2 reduction to CH3OH over atomic dual-metal sites embedded in a metal-organic framework with high-energy radiation

Overview
The efficient use of renewable X/γ-rays or accelerated electrons for chemical transformation of CO

and water to fuels holds promise for a carbon-neutral economy; however, such processes are challenging to implement and require the assistance of catalysts capable of sensitizing secondary electron scattering and providing active metal sites to bind intermediates. Here we show atomic Cu-Ni dual-metal sites embedded in a metal-organic framework enable efficient and selective CH
