Researchers now have a material that can convert CO2 directly to CO with solar energy alone. CO is a good feedstock to produce fuel and other essential chemicals.
The researchers have studied a porous organic material called COF -- covalent organic framework. The material is known for absorbing sunlight very efficiently. By adding a so-called catalytic complex to COF, they succeeded, without any additional energy, in converting carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide.
