Directly synthesising dimethyl ether (DME) from CO2 hydrogenation is a promising technique for efficiently utilising CO2 as a feedstock to produce clean fuel. The main challenges in this process are the low CO2 conversion and DME selectivity of the catalyst and its deactivation over time due to sint...
