ANU researchers have developed a sunlight-powered catalyst transforming methanol into Dimethoxymethane, green Hydrogen, and Methyl Formate, offering a greener industrial process. This photocatalytic method significantly lowers greenhouse emissions, utilizing abundant sunlight at room temperature and pressure. The produced green Hydrogen could revolutionize energy sources or enhance CO2 capture processes. Applications include Dimethoxymethane production, diesel fuel additives, and green Hydrogen generation.
