Solar fuels: Advancements in photothermal CO2 conversion to light olefins

Solar-driven catalysis has recently gained importance as a sustainable alternative to traditional energy-intensive processes. In this issue of Chem Catalysis, Song et al. thoroughly examine the mechanisms of photothermal CO2 hydrogenation to olefins. Our preview provides concise insights into their comprehensive study by highlighting perspectives and developments in CO2 utilization.
