Nickel-laden black gold converts CO2 to chemicals using solar energy and green hydrogen

CO2 hydrogenation with green hydrogen is one of the best processes to combat climate change and can provide a single solution to three challenging problems, 1) excessive CO2 levels, 2) the temporal mismatch between solar electricity production and demand, and 3) hydrogen gas storage. However, the CO2 hydrogenation reaction needs very high temperatures, causing quick deactivation of the catalyst.
