Transforming carbon dioxide into jet fuel using an organic combustion-synthesized Fe-Mn-K catalyst

Design and discovery of catalysts to make clean energy and mitigate the harmful effect of greenhouse gases remains a massive challenge. Here the authors report a combustion-synthesised iron-based catalyst of high activity and selectivity for directly converting CO2 to aviation jet fuel.
