This Viewpoint discusses the implications of the net zero energy transition on traditional chemical feedstocks and catalytic elements. While the full impact of the upcoming changes is difficult to assess, some trends from scenarios already underway can be mapped. For example, a steady growth in electric passenger vehicles will diminish transportation-related petroleum refining output, which could then create chemical feedstock gaps and changes in the supply/demand dynamics of certain critical metals. These impacts could present unexpected opportunities for emerging feedstocks such as biomass, sequestered CO2, and recycled carbon to bridge the supply gaps, even within the next decade. Further, catalytic metals such as Pd, Rh, and Pt will be displaced from petroleum refining and automotive exhaust catalytic converter applications and potentially become more available for producing chemicals and aviation fuels from emerging feedstocks. At the same time, metals such as Co and Ni, which are currently considered to be earth abundant, will face increasing demand in energy storage applications and thus could become less attractive for catalytic applications. The availability of carbon-free hydrogen and oxygen will facilitate the march toward decarbonization of the chemical industry. Finally, the enormity of displaced petroleum refining assets offers the possibility of repurposing some of them to process emerging feedstocks. These disruptions will have profound implications in future catalysis research and must be considered for a well-guided transition toward industrial sustainability.

“…Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is a key greenhouse gas, and its steady annual increase in the atmosphere has contributed to climate change. − Sea level rise, altered ocean currents, and extreme weather are just a few of the climate problems it has spawned, all of which pose serious threats to the long-term viability of human civilization. Energy security and environmental pollution are two of the most pressing issues in the world today, and the vigorous development of renewable energy sources is a major way to address these issues while also addressing the growing tension between ecological damage and resource constraints. − While low-carbon energy’s share has grown, national-level economic growth data shows that the world economy is still highly reliant on fossil fuels, the burning of which will contribute to the continued increase in CO 2 emissions. − The necessity of accelerating the pace of energy transition and ensuring energy security is therefore all the more urgent at this time. Within this, the effective control of CO 2 concentrations in the atmosphere will be a major environmental issue for humans. ,− Finding and implementing eco-friendly energy solutions should be a priority for academics.…”

A promising approach is to transform carbon dioxide (CO2) into renewable, high value-added products with minimal environmental impact and maximum efficiency. Many problems, including energy shortages and environmental degradation, are caused by high CO2 levels, but this can help. Photocatalytic reduction methods are a promising technology for solving these problems. Cerium dioxide (CeO2) is one of the most important rare earth oxides, and cerium dioxide-based photocatalysts have gained a lot of attention in recent years due to their distinctive features, such as their tunable electronic structures and their excellent photocatalytic performances. However, the wide energy band of cerium oxide limits its utilization of light. This review provides various strategies for the modification of cerium oxide, encompassing external atom doping, heterostructure fabrication, defect fabrication, and crystal plane modulation, to improve the catalytic performance of CeO2. The fundamentals of the conversion of CeO2-based photocatalysts into high value-added products are also summarized. Finally, the challenges and prospects of CeO2-based catalysts for photocatalytic reduction of CO2 are presented.
