Key Points

  • The research aims to address the conversion-selectivity trade-off in CO2 hydrogenation to ethanol using conformational dynamics of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
  • Applied conformational dynamics of MOFs for active-site engineering in catalysts.
  • Investigated the catalytic cycle involved in CO2 hydrogenation to ethanol.
  • Developed earth-abundant metal catalysts for enhanced performance in chemical reactions.
  • Improved selectivity for ethanol production in CO2 hydrogenation.
  • Enhanced catalytic activity through strategic conformational changes in MOFs.
  • Opened new avenues for designing more efficient catalysts.

Abstract

OH, a key step in the catalytic cycle. This strategy of leveraging conformational dynamics of MOFs for active-site engineering opens new avenues in designing highly active earth-abundant metal catalysts for challenging chemical transformations.
