Chirality-Enhanced CO₂ Methanation

Caption

Schematic illustration of chiral plasmonic nanorods (HPNR@SiO₂) converting CO₂ to CH₄ under circularly polarized light. The matched chirality of light and catalyst enhances hot-electron generation and suppresses H₂ evolution, leading to high methane selectivity.
