Carbon circularity is crucial for achieving a circular economy but has wider implications and impacts with respect to the circularity of materials. It has an in‐depth transformative effect on the economy. CO2 recycling is a critical component for this objective, with catalysis and inorganic chemistry playing a determining role in achieving this challenge. This concept paper presents some examples, as food for thought, of unconventional aspects in developing thermal and electro/photocatalysts for recycling CO2. The aspects discussed regard designing novel materials for CO2 thermo‐ or electro‐conversion and developing novel nanostructured electrodes.
