"However, there has been a problem in using MOFs because the catalyst layer is too thick, and their pore structure is insufficiently open to allow the necessary transfer of chemicals. This ...

Researchers develop a new catalyst design that makes CO2 conversion into industrial chemicals more efficient and selective.

For instance, research on NbOPO4 as a catalyst revealed that the dehydration ... superior selectivity due to their unique pore structure, which favors the formation of reactive intermediates ...
