Catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 with renewable H2 to methanol represents a promising pathway for reducing anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Catalysts play a key role in enhancing both the hydrogenation rate and methanol selectivity. ZrO2 is a promising catalyst support, promoter and even active species fo...
