Deskripsi
Harsh reaction conditions are generally required for CO2 hydrogenation to shift the thermodynamic equilibrium towards methanol synthesis. Here, a new black indium oxide with two types of active sites, frustrated Lewis pairs and oxygen vacancies, is prepared, and facilitates a tandem synthesis of methanol at a low hydrogen concentration (50%) and ambient pressure.
