Ru Nanowires for Effective Low‐Temperature CO <sub>2</sub> Methanation in the Aqueous Phase
selectivity at just 353 K while fully suppressing undesired RWGS activity. First-principles simulations reveal that aqueous solvation elevates the energy barriers for *CO desorption and dissociation relative to *HCOO hydrogenation, thereby shifting the reaction pathway decisively toward methanation. This work establishes a new strategy for robust, low-temperature Sabatier catalysis in water, offering a scalable route for power-to-gas applications under mild and sustainable conditions.
