Researchers know how to pinpoint such pollution, even on a regional and near-real-time basis. As part of a solution to carbon dioxide pollution, many studies focus on how to convert this pollutant into a fuel, such as methanol. Copper-based catalysts are a tool for such conversions. Understanding the corresponding step-by-step chemistry is essential for optimizing conversion of carbon dioxide pollutant into methanol fuel. However, the details of this chemistry remain unclear; experiments are needed to test hypotheses that are currently based on computer simulations.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2022-07-caught-key-chemical-intermediates-pollutant-to-fuel.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Caught in the act: Key chemical intermediates in pollutant-to-fuel reaction identified<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carbon dioxide pollution continues to change the global climate.
