Briefings

A 2026 study published in Nature Chemistry identified nearly 10,000 distinct chemical reactions occurring during CO2 hydrogenation on catalyst surfaces. This research highlights that the conversion process involves a vast number of microscopic steps, many of which are currently overlooked in industrial applications. The findings provide a foundational understanding of the reaction landscape, though the specific catalysts used and the exact yield of these reactions remain to be fully characterized.

Key points

• Nearly 10,000 distinct chemical reactions were identified during CO2 hydrogenation on catalyst surfaces.
• The study was published in Nature Chemistry in October 2026.

Context and limitations

The evidence covers only the identified reactions and does not specify which catalysts were used or provide data on the overall yield of the process.
