- Finding catalysts to promote the activation and conversion of CO2 to useful products such as CO or methanol is a key challenge to meet decarbonisation targets. The significance of this paper, an international collaboration with Northwestern from our NSF-SFI US-Ireland project, is that our combined modelling and experimental study found suitable loadings of Cu on TiO2 nanotubes that promoted CO2 with low activation barriers and good stability. This means that the conversion of CO2 to CO proceeds at lower temperature and this copper-TiO2 system is an important material to promote the activity of copper for CO2 conversion.
