The image illustrates the operation mechanism of the photothermal activation of Ru/Au nanoparticles deposited on Siralox. Upon absorption of light by Au nanoparticles, the photon energy is thermalized, leading to the heating of smaller Ru nanoparticles located on the Au surface. This local heating serves to promote the selective methanation of CO 2 by H 2 . For more information, see the Full Paper by H. García et al. on page 18436 ff.
