Abstract

An electron-rich zinc-modified zeolite Y material shows substantial activity for the decomposition of CO₂ to carbon with the release of O₂ at about 300 °C. It is elucidated that electrons delocalized in the vicinity of zinc cations in the zeolite material play an essential role in the decomposition reaction.
