Bulk ZrOxHy is an effective catalyst for amine regeneration in CO2 absorption, but its high cost and poor support stability may hinder application. Here, ZrOxHy is deposited as a theoratical monolayer within MCM-41 mesopores, achieving similar stable catalytic activity to bulk ZrOxHy with just 13 wt% Zr loading, offering a cost-effective path toward industrial use.
