A key primary method for creating a carbon cycle and carbon neutrality is the catalytic hydrogenation of CO 2 into high value-added chemicals or fuels. In this work, ZnGaO x oxides were prepared by parallel co-precipitation and physically mixed with SAPO-34 molecular sieves prepared by hydrothermal synthesis to produce ZnGaO x /SAPO-34 bifunctional catalysts, which were evaluated for the catalytic synthesis of lower olefins (C 2 = À C 4 = ) from carbon dioxide hydrogenation. It was demonstrated that the reaction process requires oxygen defect activation, synergistic hydrogenation, and CO 2 alkaline adsorption of ZnGaO x . The spinel structure of ZnGaO x has more abundant oxygen defects and alkaline adsorption sites than the ZnGaO x solid solution, which effectively enhances the catalytic performance. The CO 2 conversion was 28.52%, the selectivity of C 2 = À C 4 = in hydrocarbons reached 70.01%, and the single-pass yield of C 2 = À C 4 = was 10.95% at 370 °C, 3.0 MPa, and 4800 mL/g cat /h.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
