New halide-free strategy expands the possibilities for CO₂ conversion 2026-05-14Prof. Arjan W. Kleij’s group has developed a halide-free catalytic process that uses carbon dioxide to selectively produce different families of cyclic compounds. Published in ACS Catalysis, the study shows how combining an aluminium-based catalyst with different organic bases can steer the reaction towards distinct products, expanding the possibilities for carbon dioxide conversion. Carbon dioxide […]
