April 8. A collaborative paper by Ana Fellenberg et al. "Covalent organic frameworks for design of ruthenium catalysts with high single-atom site density for CO2 hydrogenation into formic acid" published in Cell Reports Physical Science presents a strategy that utilizes covalent organic frameworks with diverse structures and chemical compositions to enhance carbon dioxide hydrogenation to formic acid at low temperatures.
