Review of technologies that boost potential for carbon dioxide conversion to useful products

Phys.org  July 1, 2022
Researchers in China summarized the recent advances in MOFs based catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation towards diverse products. It includes synthesis strategies for different kinds of MOFs based catalysts, selective hydrogenation of CO2 towards CO and methane over various metal nanoparticles/MOFs, heterogenization and isolation of molecular catalysts by MOFs, selective hydrogenation of CO2 toward methanol, the synergy between auxiliary sites and noble metal, and tandem catalytic systems of molecular catalysts and Lewis acid sites. The integration of multiple metal sites, promoters, and cocatalysts into MOFs is described for the selective hydrogenation of CO2 to C2+ products. The stability of MOFs based catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation reaction is discussed. Summary and perspective about MOFs based catalysts for selective CO2 hydrogenation and mechanism research are proposed…read more. TECHNICAL ARTICLE
