Description
Dimethyl carbonate is a useful green chemical, and making it straight from carbon dioxide and methanol would turn a waste gas into a product. Dichao Shi and three co-authors worked in 2024 on a ceria based catalyst for that reaction. Because the reaction stalls as water builds up, they added drying agents that soak up the water and pull the balance forward.
One drying agent, called TMM, worked best but reacted slowly. Adding a second solid, a sieve known as 13X, sped its water uptake without harming the product. The best mix of catalyst, TMM, and sieve reached a very high yield in a larger test vessel. The authors present the pairing as a step toward making the process at scale.
