Copper-zirconia interfaces in UiO-66 enable selective catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol

Molecular interactions with both oxides and metals are essential for heterogenous catalysis, leading to remarkable impacts on activity. Here the authors show that a direct link between Cu and ZrO2 in a metal organic framework is required to hydrogenate CO2 to methanol.
