Boost in CO2-to-CO Conversion by Strained Nanowires

Caption

Graph comparing the photocatalytic CO2 reduction performance. Nanowires with moderate strain (0.47%, NW-LS) show a CO production rate ~5 times higher than unstrained nanowires (NW-NS) and significantly outperform highly strained nanowires (NW-HS) and other state-of-art photocatalysts.
