Abstract
In a recent <i>Nature Catalysis</i> paper, Müller and coworkers engineer Cu/Mo<sub>2</sub>C<i>T</i><sub>x</sub> (MXene) interface and achieve high intrinsic methanol formation rate and selectivity. Due to the good mobility of Cu species under H<sub>2</sub> at 500°C and increased electron affinity of partially reduced Mo<sub>2</sub>C<i>T</i><sub>x</sub> surface, the interface of Cu/Mo<sub>2</sub>C<i>T</i><sub>x</sub> becomes strong Lewis acid as reduction time increases, which correlates with enhanced rate of CO<sub>2</sub> hydrogenation to methanol.
