“Solving the Conundrum of the Influence of Irradiation Power on Photothermal CO₂ Hydrogenation”
📌 Published in ACS Catalysis

Solar photothermal catalysis holds great promise for converting CO₂ into value-added products, but one key factor remains poorly understood: how does light intensity affect product distribution and local catalyst temperature?

In this study, we explore how photothermal catalysts with a dense, uniform distribution of Ru nanoparticles behave under varying light intensities. The findings reveal that:

☀️ Collective heating leads to a homogeneous temperature across the catalyst.
🧪 Light intensity has a significant impact on product selectivity.
⚠️ Maintaining stable temperature and reaction conditions is crucial to ensure reproducibility and efficiency.
