A review of the recent progress on direct heterogeneous catalytic CO₂ hydrogenation to gasoline-range hydrocarbons

Abstract

As the climate change and energy crisis have imposed a growing threat to the living environment, the chemical conversion of carbon oxide (CO2) with green hydrogen into gasoline-range hydrocarbons is...

A molecular view of single-atom catalysis toward carbon dioxide conversion

“…The complex nature of these reaction processes suggests that catalysts with multifunctional sites are always necessary to modulate and match different key steps. 285 In this case, SACs with isolated and relatively uniform sites might not be able to afford such an obligation, while bulk catalysts and integrated catalysts have accounted for these systems. [160][161][162][163] However, it is still possible that SA sites play a critical role in the synthesis of C 2+ products by cooperating with other functionalities.…”

Insights into a Nitrogen-Doped Cobalt Oxide Catalyst for Enhanced Hydrogenation of CO2 to C2+ Hydrocarbons

“…Exploiting CO 2 as an alternative carbon source presents a unique opportunity for chemical production and the alleviation of anthropogenically emitted CO 2 . − However, the activation and conversion of CO 2 are challenging because of CO 2 ’s stable thermodynamic nature . Nevertheless, green hydrogen (H 2 ), with its high intrinsic energy obtained from renewable energy sources, could be one solution to address these issues .…”

“…The synthesis of high-value-added chemicals, such as light hydrocarbons (C 2–4 ) and fuels through CO 2 hydrogenation, is essential from both environmental and economic perspectives. Recently, considerable progress has been made in designing catalysts to activate and transform CO 2 , − but selectivity control toward C 2+ hydrocarbons instead of methane remains a great challenge. − …”
