Mitigating the Poisoning Effect of Formate during CO 2 Hydrogenation to Methanol over Co-Containing Dual-Atom Oxide Catalysts. JACS AU 2024; 4:1048-1058. [PMID: 38559712 PMCID: PMC10976564 DOI: 10.1021/jacsau.3c00789] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2023] [Revised: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
During the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol over mixed-oxide catalysts, the strong adsorption of CO2 and formate poses a barrier for H2 dissociation, limiting methanol selectivity and productivity. Here we show that by using Co-containing dual-atom oxide catalysts, the poisoning effect can be countered by separating the site for H2 dissociation and the adsorption of intermediates. We synthesized a Co- and In-doped ZrO2 catalyst (Co-In-ZrO2) containing atomically dispersed Co and In species. Catalyst characterization showed that Co and In atoms were atomically dispersed and were in proximity to each other owing to a random distribution. During the CO2 hydrogenation reaction, the Co atom was responsible for the adsorption of CO2 and formate species, while the nearby In atoms promoted the hydrogenation of adsorbed intermediates. The cooperative effect increased the methanol selectivity to 86% over the dual-atom catalyst, and methanol productivity increased 2-fold in comparison to single-atom catalysts. This cooperative effect was extended to Co-Zn and Co-Ga doped ZrO2 catalysts. This work presents a different approach to designing mixed-oxide catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation based on the preferential adsorption of substrates and intermediates instead of promoting H2 dissociation to mitigate the poisonous effects of substrates and intermediates.

Abstract
The catalytic hydrogenation of captured CO2 by different industrial processes allows obtaining liquid biofuels and some chemical products that not only present the interest of being obtained from a very low-cost raw material (CO2) that indeed constitutes an environmental pollution problem but also constitute an energy vector, which can facilitate the storage and transport of very diverse renewable energies. Thus, the combined use of green H2 and captured CO2 to obtain chemical products and biofuels has become attractive for different processes such as power-to-liquids (P2L) and power-to-gas (P2G), which use any renewable power to convert carbon dioxide and water into value-added, synthetic renewable E-fuels and renewable platform molecules, also contributing in an important way to CO2 mitigation. In this regard, there has been an extraordinary increase in the study of supported metal catalysts capable of converting CO2 into synthetic natural gas, according to the Sabatier reaction, or in dimethyl ether, as in power-to-gas processes, as well as in liquid hydrocarbons by the Fischer-Tropsch process, and especially in producing methanol by P2L processes. As a result, the current review aims to provide an overall picture of the most recent research, focusing on the last five years, when research in this field has increased dramatically.

Abstract
The impact of carbon monoxide on CO2 -to-methanol catalysts has been scarcely investigated, although CO will comprise up to half of the carbon feedstock, depending on the origin of CO2 and process configuration. In this study, copper-based systems and ZnO-ZrO2 are assessed in cycling experiments with hybrid CO2 -CO feeds and their CO sensitivity is compared to In2 O3 -based materials. All catalysts are found to be promoted upon CO addition. Copper-based systems are intrinsically more active in CO hydrogenation and profit from exploiting this carbon source for methanol production, whereas CO induces surplus formation of oxygen vacancies (i. e., the catalytic sites) on ZnO-ZrO2 , as in In2 O3 -based systems. Mild-to-moderate deactivation occurs upon re-exposure to CO2 -rich streams, owing to water-induced sintering for all catalysts except ZnO-ZrO2 , which responds reversibly to feed variations, likely owing to its more hydrophobic nature and the atomic mixing of its metal components. Catalytic systems are categorized for operation in hybrid CO2 -CO feeds, emphasizing the significance of catalyst and process design to foster advances in CO2 utilization technologies.
