Catalytic CO2 conversion to C1 value-added products: Review on latest catalytic and process developments

Guanidinium iodide salts as single component catalysts for CO2 to epoxide fixation

“…The chemical conversion of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) by its fixation into high-value-added products has been one of the principal focuses and challenges for the scientific community to contribute to the decrease in CO 2 emissions in the atmosphere. [1][2][3][4] Related to this, the attention to the catalytic transformation of this molecule has increased enormously in recent years [5][6][7][8] for the preparation of a great variety of different products, such as methanol, 9,10 carbamates, [11][12][13] formic acid, 14,15 and amines. 16 It is important to note that according to a recent study, only 0.36% of CO 2 emissions were employed as feedstock for the industrial preparation of value-added chemicals.…”

Harnessing the Synergy of Fe and Co with Carbon Nanofibers for Enhanced CO2 Hydrogenation Performance

“…Catalysts are at the forefront of converting this greenhouse gas into valuable chemicals, offering the dual benefit of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and paving the way for energy-efficient chemical synthesis . Catalytic CO 2 hydrogenation has gained significant attention as a credible scientific approach to counter these global challenges. , This method transforms CO 2 into useful energy fuels and chemicals, including carbon monoxide (CO), methane (CH 4 ), and light olefins . Beyond addressing atmospheric CO 2 accumulation, it heralds a path to a sustainable hydrocarbon-based energy future, promoting a more balanced global carbon footprint. , Nevertheless, this vision is not without hurdles .…”

Role of Ionic Solvents in the Electrocatalytic CO2 Conversion and H2 Evolution Suppression: From Ionic Liquids to Deep Eutectic Solvents

“…[6] Therefore, thermal, chemical, biochemical, and photochemical reduction strategies have been explored for activating and converting the CO 2 molecule, producing various reduction products with very different results. [7,8] More recently, and thanks to the possibility of using renewable energy, the electrochemical catalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO 2 RR) has emerged as an efficient pathway for its chemical conversion. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] This strategy opens the door to the production of a wide range of products, tuning the selectivity with respect to the previously described processes, in a more sustainable way.…”
