Researchers from Yale and the University of Missouri have developed manganese-based catalysts that convert carbon dioxide into formate, potentially providing a sustainable hydrogen source for fuel cells. This innovation improves the catalytic lifetime of manganese, surpassing the efficiency of traditional precious metal catalysts, and offers a solution to the unsustainable reliance on fossil fuels for formate production.

The study, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science, suggests broader applications for this catalytic approach.
