CQE researchers developed a new catalyst for the CO2 reduction reaction

The article, titled “Solar Light CO2 Photoreduction Enhancement by Mononuclear Rhenium(I) Complexes: Characterization and Mechanistic Insights“ highlights the synthesis of a new rhenium(I) complex, which was used as catalyst for the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). This molecular complex reduced CO2 into CO under visible light irradiation after 3 h. The high efficiency for CO2RR showcase their promising application for the development of new approaches for clean energy technologies.

This work has been noticed in several news websites (Ambiente Magazine, Sapo, Expresso).
