CO2 hydrogenation to methanol usually requires a pressurized condition and the established Cu/ZnO interface as the catalyst. In this issue of Chem Catalysis, Ozin and colleagues discovered that a sustainable and ‘‘living'' catalyst, CaCu3Ti4O_(12), can release the interconnected active components under the reaction condition for atmospheric-pressure solar methanol production.
