Abstract in brief

Researchers aim to produce olefins through carbon dioxide hydrogenation, but high temperatures usually lead to complex product mixtures.
This study discovers that using 365 nm light on gold-titanium dioxide can induce hydrogen dissociation at room temperature, simplifying the reaction.
The process generates ethane with over 99% yield when reducing CO, and can further convert ethane to ethylene with the same high yield over extended periods of irradiation.
