High Entropy Alloy Formation Derived from High Entropy Oxide: Unlocking the Active Sites for Green Methanol Production from CO2

OH and further determined by DFT calculations. The altered reaction mechanism upon HEA formation compared to individual metals is investigated using in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS). Finally, Life-cycle assessment (LCA) indicates the carbon-negative footprint.
