Thermocatalytic hydrogenation holds great promise for commercial utilization of carbon dioxide, but the process is energy-intense with high temperature and pressure requirements. Here, the authors engineer a GaN1- x O x rhodium nanoparticle catalyst for CO2 to CO hydrogenation that functions at temperatures as low as 170 °C.
