Abstract
Cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) is a promising molecular catalyst for aqueous electroreduction of CO2, but its catalytic activity is limited by aggregation at high loadings. Codeposition of CoPc onto electrode surfaces with the coordinating polymer poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) mitigates aggregation in addition to providing other catalytic enhancements. Transmission and diffuse reflectance UV-vis measurements demonstrate that a combination of axial coordination and π-stacking effects from pyridyl moieties in P4VP serve to disperse cobalt phthalocyanine in deposition solutions and help prevent reaggregation in deposited films. Polymers lacking axial coordination, such as Nafion, are significantly less effective at cobalt phthalocyanine dispersion in both the deposition solution and in the deposited films. SEM images corroborate these findings through particle counts and morphological analysis. Electrochemical measurements show that CoPc codeposited with P4VPonto carbon electrode surfaces reduces CO2 with higher activity and selectivity compared to the catalyst codeposited with Nafion.

Abstract
The carbon dioxide radical anion [CO2˙-] is a highly reactive species of fundamental and synthetic interest. However, the direct one-electron reduction of CO2 to generate [CO2˙-] occurs at very negative reduction potentials, which is often a limiting factor for applications. Here, we show that NHC-CO2-BR3 species - generated from the Frustrated Lewis Pair (FLP)-type activation of CO2 by N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and boranes (BR3) - undergo single electron reduction at a less negative potential than free CO2. A net gain of more than one volt was notably measured with a CAAC-CO2-B(C6F5)3 adduct, which was chemically reduced to afford [CAAC-CO2-B(C6F5)3˙-]. This room temperature stable radical anion was characterized by EPR spectroscopy and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Of particular interest, DFT calculations showed that, thanks to the electron withdrawing properties of the Lewis acid, significant unpaired spin density is localised on the carbon atom of the CO2 moiety. Finally, these species were shown to exhibit analogous reactivity to the carbon dioxide radical anion [CO2˙-] toward DMPO. This work demonstrates the advantage provided by FLP systems in the generation and stabilization of [CO2˙-]-like species.

Ambient temperature CO 2 fixation to pyruvate and subsequently to citramalate over iron and nickel nanoparticles. Nat Commun 2023; 14:570.

Abstract
The chemical reactions that formed the building blocks of life at origins required catalysts, whereby the nature of those catalysts influenced the type of products that accumulated. Recent investigations have shown that at 100 °C awaruite, a Ni3Fe alloy that naturally occurs in serpentinizing systems, is an efficient catalyst for CO2 conversion to formate, acetate, and pyruvate. These products are identical with the intermediates and products of the acetyl-CoA pathway, the most ancient CO2 fixation pathway and the backbone of carbon metabolism in H2-dependent autotrophic microbes. Here, we show that Ni3Fe nanoparticles prepared via the hard-templating method catalyze the conversion of H2 and CO2 to formate, acetate and pyruvate at 25 °C under 25 bar. Furthermore, the 13C-labeled pyruvate can be further converted to acetate, parapyruvate, and citramalate over Ni, Fe, and Ni3Fe nanoparticles at room temperature within one hour. These findings strongly suggest that awaruite can catalyze both the formation of citramalate, the C5 product of pyruvate condensation with acetyl-CoA in microbial carbon metabolism, from pyruvate and the formation of pyruvate from CO2 at very moderate reaction conditions without organic catalysts. These results align well with theories for an autotrophic origin of microbial metabolism under hydrothermal vent conditions.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the major greenhouse gas and also an abundant and renewable carbon resource. Therefore, its chemical conversion and utilization are of great attraction for sustainable development. Especially, reductive conversion of CO2 with energy input has become a current hotspot due to its ability to access fuels and various important chemicals. Nowadays, the controllable CO2 hydrogenation to formic acid and alcohols using sustainable H2 resources has been regarded as an appealing solution to hydrogen storage and CO2 accumulation. In addition, photocatalytic CO2 reduction to CO also provides a potential way to utilize this greenhouse gas efficiently. Besides direct CO2 hydrogenation, CO2 reductive functionalization integrates CO2 reduction with subsequent C-X (X = N, S, C, O) bond formation and indirect transformation strategies, enlarging the diverse products derived from CO2 and promoting CO2 reductive conversion into a new stage. In this Perspective, the progress and challenges of CO2 reductive conversion, including hydrogenation, reductive functionalization, photocatalytic reduction, and photocatalytic reductive functionalization are summarized and discussed along with the key issues and future trends/directions in this field. We hope this Perspective can evoke intense interest and inspire much innovation in the promise of CO2 valorization.

Utilization of Carbon Dioxide via Catalytic Hydrogenation Processes during Steam-Based Enhanced Oil Recovery. Processes (Basel) 2022.

Abstract
The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been increasing since immediately after the boom of industrialization. Novel technologies are required for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture, storage, and its chemical conversion into value-added products. In this study, we present a novel in situ CO2 utilization method via a hydrogenation process in the presence of nickel tallates during steam-based enhanced oil recovery. The light n-alkanes are the preferred products of in situ catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 due to their effective solubility, viscosity-reducing capacity, and hydrogen-donating capacity. A nickel tallate was evaluated for its carbon dioxide hydrogenation and oil-upgrading performance at 300 °C. The results showed that the content of saturated and aromatic fractions increased, while the content of heavier fragments decreased. Moreover, the relative content of normal C10–C20 alkanes doubled after the catalytic hydrogenation of CO2. Despite the noncatalytic hydrogenation of CO2, the viscosity was altered from 3309 mPa.s to 1775 mPa.s at a shear rate of 0.66 s−1. The addition of the catalyst further contributed to the reduction of the viscosity, down to 1167 mPa.s at the same shear rate. Thus, in situ catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 not only significantly reduces the concentration of anthropogenic carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere, but it also enhances the oil-recovery factor by improving the quality of the upgraded crude oil and its mobility.

Abstract
With the rapid development of industrial society and humankind’s prosperity, the growing demands of global energy, mainly based on the combustion of hydrocarbon fossil fuels, has become one of the most severe challenges all over the world. It is estimated that fossil fuel consumption continues to grow with an annual increase rate of 1.3%, which has seriously affected the natural environment through the emission of greenhouse gases, most notably carbon dioxide (CO2). Given these recognized environmental concerns, it is imperative to develop clean technologies for converting captured CO2 to high-valued chemicals, one of which is value-added hydrocarbons. In this article, environmental effects due to CO2 emission are discussed and various routes for CO2 hydrogenation to hydrocarbons including light olefins, fuel oils (gasoline and jet fuel), and aromatics are comprehensively elaborated. Our emphasis is on catalyst development. In addition, we present an outlook that summarizes the research challenges and opportunities associated with the hydrogenation of CO2 to hydrocarbon products.

Abstract
Hydrogenation of CO2 to value-added chemicals and fuels not only effectively alleviates climate change but also reduces over-dependence on fossil fuels. Therefore, much attention has been paid to the chemical conversion of CO2 to value-added products, such as liquid fuels and aromatics. Recently, efficient catalysts have been developed to face the challenge of the chemical inertness of CO2 and the difficulty of C–C coupling. Considering the lack of a detailed summary on hydrogenation of CO2 to liquid fuels and aromatics via the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) route, we conducted a comprehensive and systematic review of the research progress on the development of efficient catalysts for hydrogenation of CO2 to liquid fuels and aromatics. In this work, we summarized the factors influencing the catalytic activity and stability of various catalysts, the strategies for optimizing catalytic performance and product distribution, the effects of reaction conditions on catalytic performance, and possible reaction mechanisms for CO2 hydrogenation via the FTS route. Furthermore, we also provided an overview of the challenges and opportunities for future research associated with hydrogenation of CO2 to liquid fuels and aromatics.

Abstract
The selective conversion of syngas to higher alcohols is an attractive albeit elusive route in the quest for effective production of chemicals from alternative carbon resources. We report the tandem integration of solid cobalt Fischer–Tropsch and molecular hydroformylation catalysts in a one‐pot slurry‐phase process. Unprecedented selectivities (>50 wt %) to C2+ alcohols are achieved at CO conversion levels >70 %, alongside negligible CO2 side‐production. The efficient overall transformation is enabled by catalyst engineering, bridging gaps in operation temperature and intrinsic selectivity which have classically precluded integration of these reactions in a single conversion step. Swift capture of 1‐olefin Fischer–Tropsch primary products by the molecular hydroformylation catalyst, presumably within the pores of the solid catalyst is key for high alcohol selectivity. The results underscore that controlled cooperation between solid aggregate and soluble molecular metal catalysts, which pertain to traditionally dichotomic realms of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, is a promising blueprint toward selective conversion processes.

Abstract
The catalytic conversion of CO2 to C2 products through the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) offers the possibility of preparing carbon-based fuels and valuable chemicals in a sustainable way. Herein, various Fen and Co5 clusters are designed to screen out the good catalysts with reasonable stability, as well as high activity and selectivity for either C2H4 or CH3CH2OH generation through density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The binding energy and cohesive energy calculations show that both Fe5 and Co5 clusters can adsorb stably on the N-doped carbon (NC) with one metal atom anchored at the center of the defected hole via a classical MN4 structure. The proposed reaction pathway demonstrates that the Fe5-NC cluster has better activity than Co5-NC, since the carbon–carbon coupling reaction is the potential determining step (PDS), and the free energy change is 0.22 eV lower in the Fe5-NC cluster than that in Co5-NC. However, Co5-NC shows a better selectivity towards C2H4 since the hydrogenation of CH2CHO to CH3CHO becomes the PDS, and the free energy change is 1.08 eV, which is 0.07 eV higher than that in the C-C coupling step. The larger discrepancy of d band center and density of states (DOS) between the topmost Fe and sub-layer Fe may account for the lower free energy change in the C-C coupling reaction. Our theoretical insights propose an explicit indication for designing new catalysts based on the transition metal (TM) clusters supported on N-doped carbon for multi-hydrocarbon synthesis through systematically analyzing the stability of the metal clusters, the electronic structure of the critical intermediates and the energy profiles during the CO2RR.

Abstract
The free energy for hydride transfer reactions of transition metal hydrides is known to be influenced by solvent effects. The first-row transition metal hydride [HNi(dmpe)2][BF4] (dmpe = 1,2-bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane) has starkly different hydride transfer reactivities with CO2 in different solvents. A binary mixture of water and acetonitrile was used to tune the hydride transfer reactivity of HNi(dmpe)2+ with CO2 so that the free energy for this reaction approached zero. Various mole fractions of water were tested and a linear relationship between the hydride transfer free energy and solvent composition was established for 0-0.24 mole fraction of water. A deviation from linearity was found upon moving toward higher mole fractions of water. The tuning of the free energy for hydride transfer allowed HNi(dmpe)2+ to be used as a catalyst for the hydrogenation of CO2. The optimized catalyst conditions produced 58 turnovers at room temperature in 0.082 mole fraction of water using 60 atm of a 1:1 mixture of H2 to CO2 gas.

Abstract
Integrated carbon capture and conversion of CO2 into materials (IC3 M) is an attractive solution to meet global energy demand, reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, and lower CO2 emissions. Herein, using a water-lean post-combustion capture solvent, [N-(2-ethoxyethyl)-3-morpholinopropan-1-amine] (2-EEMPA), >90 % conversion of captured CO2 to hydrocarbons, mostly methane, is achieved in the presence of a heterogenous Ru catalyst under relatively mild reaction conditions (170 °C and <15 bar H2 pressure). The catalytic performance was better in 2-EEMPA than in aqueous 5 m monoethanol amine (MEA). Operando nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study showed in situ formation of N-formamide intermediate, which underwent further hydrogenation to form methane and other higher hydrocarbons. Technoeconomic analyses (TEA) showed that the proposed integrated process can potentially improve the thermal efficiency by 5 % and reduce the total capital investment and minimum synthetic natural gas (SNG) selling price by 32 % and 12 %, respectively, compared to the conventional Sabatier process, highlighting the energetic and economic benefits of integrated capture and conversion. Methane derived from CO2 and renewable H2 sources is an attractive fuel, and it has great potential as a renewable hydrogen carrier as an environmentally responsible carbon capture and utilization approach.

Abstract
Cascade processes are gaining momentum in heterogeneous catalysis. The combination of several catalytic solids within one reactor has shown great promise for the one-step valorization of C1-feedstocks. The combination of metal-based catalysts and zeolites in the gas phase hydrogenation of CO2 leads to a large degree of product selectivity control, defined mainly by zeolites. However, a great deal of mechanistic understanding remains unclear: metal-based catalysts usually lead to complex product compositions that may result in unexpected zeolite reactivity. Here we present an in-depth multivariate analysis of the chemistry involved in eight different zeolite topologies when combined with a highly active Fe-based catalyst in the hydrogenation of CO2 to olefins, aromatics, and paraffins. Solid-state NMR spectroscopy and computational analysis demonstrate that the hybrid nature of the active zeolite catalyst and its preferred CO2-derived reaction intermediates (CO/ester/ketone/hydrocarbons, i.e., inorganic-organic supramolecular reactive centers), along with 10 MR-zeolite topology, act as descriptors governing the ultimate product selectivity.

Exploiting In-Situ Characterization for a Sabatier Reaction to Reveal Catalytic Details. CHEMISTRY 2021.

Abstract
In situ characterization of catalysts provides important information on the catalyst and the understanding of its activity and selectivity for a specific reaction. TPX techniques for catalyst characterization reveal the role of the support on the stabilization and dispersion of the active sites. However, these can be altered at high temperature since sintering of active species can occur as well as possible carbon deposition through the Bosch reaction, which hinders the active species and deactivates the catalyst. In situ characterization of the spent catalyst, however, may expose the causes for catalyst deactivation. For example, a simple TPO analysis on the spent catalyst may produce CO and CO2 via a reaction with O2 at high temperature and this is a strong indication that deactivation may be due to the deposition of carbon during the Sabatier reaction. Other TPX techniques such as TPR and pulse chemisorption are also valuable techniques when they are applied in situ to the fresh catalyst and then to the catalyst upon deactivation.

Abstract
A cell-free enantioselective transformation of the carbon atom of CO2 has never been reported. In the urgent context of transforming CO2 into products of high value, the enantiocontrolled synthesis of chiral compounds from CO2 would be highly desirable. Using an original hybrid chemoenzymatic catalytic process, we report herein the reductive oligomerization of CO2 into C3 (dihydroxyacetone, DHA) and C4 (l-erythrulose) carbohydrates, with perfect enantioselectivity of the latter chiral product. This was achieved with the key intermediacy of formaldehyde. CO2 is first reduced selectively by 4e- by an iron-catalyzed hydroboration reaction, leading to the isolation and complete characterization of a new bis(boryl)acetal compound derived from dimesitylborane. In an aqueous buffer solution at 30 °C, this compound readily releases formaldehyde, which is then involved in selective enzymatic transformations, giving rise either (i) to DHA using a formolase (FLS) catalysis or (ii) to l-erythrulose with a cascade reaction combining FLS and d-fructose-6-phosphate aldolase (FSA) A129S variant. Finally, the nature of the synthesized products is noteworthy, since carbohydrates are of high interest for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The present results prove that the cell-free de novo synthesis of carbohydrates from CO2 as a sustainable carbon source is a possible alternative pathway in addition to the intensely studied biomass extraction and de novo syntheses from fossil resources.

Abstract
The emerging process of CO2 hydrogenation through heterogenous catalysis into important bulk chemicals provides an alternative strategy for sustainable and low-cost production of valuable chemicals, and brings an important chance for mitigating CO2 emissions. Direct synthesis of the family of unsaturated heavy hydrocarbons such as α-olefins and aromatics via CO2 hydrogenation is more attractive and challenging than the production of short-chain products to modern society, suffering from the difficult control between C-O activation and C-C coupling towards long-chain hydrocarbons. In the past several years, rapid progress has been achieved in the development of efficient catalysts for the process and understanding of their catalytic mechanisms. In this review, we provide a comprehensive, authoritative and critical overview of the substantial progress in the synthesis of α-olefins and aromatics from CO2 hydrogenation via direct and indirect routes. The rational fabrication and design of catalysts, proximity effects of multi-active sites, stability and deactivation of catalysts, reaction mechanisms and reactor design are systematically discussed. Finally, current challenges and potential applications in the development of advanced catalysts, as well as opportunities of next-generation CO2 hydrogenation techniques for carbon neutrality in future are proposed.

Abstract
The efficient conversion of carbon dioxide, a major air pollutant, into ethanol or higher alcohols is a big challenge in heterogeneous catalysis, generating great interest in both basic scientific research and commercial applications. Here, we report the facilitated methanol synthesis and the enabled ethanol synthesis from carbon dioxide hydrogenation on a catalyst generated by codepositing Cs and Cu on a ZnO(0001̅) substrate. A combination of catalytic testing, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements, and calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) and kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulation was used. The results of XPS showed a clear change in the reaction mechanism when going from Cs/Cu(111) to a Cs/Cu/ZnO(0001̅) catalyst. The Cs-promoting effect on C-C coupling is a result of a synergy among Cs, Cu, and ZnO components that leads to the presence of CHx and CHyO species on the surface. According to the DFT-based KMC simulations, the deposition of Cs introduces multifunctional sites with a unique structure at the Cu-Cs-ZnO interface, particularly being able to promote the interaction with CO2 and thus the methanol synthesis predominantly via the formate pathway. More importantly, it tunes the CHO binding strongly enough to facilitate the HCOOH decomposition to CHO via the formate pathway, but weakly enough to allow further hydrogenation to methanol. The fine-tuning of CHO binding also enables a close alignment of a CHO pair to facilitate the C-C coupling and eventually ethanol synthesis. Our study opens new possibilities to allow the highly active and selective conversion of carbon dioxide to higher alcohols on widely used and low-cost Cu-based catalysts.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the iconic greenhouse gas and the major factor driving present global climate change, incentivizing its capture and recycling into valuable products and fuels. The 6H+/6e- reduction of CO2 affords CH3OH, a key compound that is a fuel and a platform molecule. In this Review, we compare different routes for CO2 reduction to CH3OH, namely, heterogeneous and homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation, as well as enzymatic catalysis, photocatalysis and electrocatalysis. We describe the leading catalysts and the conditions under which they operate, and then consider their advantages and drawbacks in terms of selectivity, productivity, stability, operating conditions, cost and technical readiness. At present, heterogeneous hydrogenation catalysis and electrocatalysis have the greatest promise for large-scale CO2 reduction to CH3OH. The availability and price of sustainable electricity appear to be essential prerequisites for efficient CH3OH synthesis.

Abstract
Catalysis is essential to modern life and has a huge economic impact. The development of new catalysts critically depends on synthetic methods that enable the preparation of tailored nanomaterials. Pulsed laser in liquids synthesis can produce uniform, multicomponent, nonequilibrium nanomaterials with independently and precisely controlled properties, such as size, composition, morphology, defect density, and atomistic structure within the nanoparticle and at its surface. We cover the fundamentals, unique advantages, challenges, and experimental solutions of this powerful technique and review the state-of-the-art of laser-made electrocatalysts for water oxidation, oxygen reduction, hydrogen evolution, nitrogen reduction, carbon dioxide reduction, and organic oxidations, followed by laser-made nanomaterials for light-driven catalytic processes and heterogeneous catalysis of thermochemical processes. We also highlight laser-synthesized nanomaterials for which proposed catalytic applications exist. This review provides a practical guide to how the catalysis community can capitalize on pulsed laser in liquids synthesis to advance catalyst development, by leveraging the synergies of two fields of intensive research.

Abstract
ConspectusThe severity of global warming necessitates urgent CO2 mitigation strategies. Notably, CO2 is a cheap, abundant, and renewable carbon resource, and its chemical transformation has attracted great attention from society. Because CO2 is in the highest oxidation state of the C atom, the hydrogenation of CO2 is the basic means of converting it to organic chemicals. With the rapid development of H2 generation by water splitting using electricity from renewable resources, reactions using CO2 and H2 have become increasingly important. In the past few decades, the advances of CO2 hydrogenation have mostly been focused on the synthesis of C1 products, such as CO, formic acid and its derivatives, methanol, and methane. In many cases, the chemicals with two or more carbons (C2+) are more important. However, the synthesis of C2+ chemicals from CO2 and H2 is much more difficult because it involves controlled hydrogenation and simultaneous C-C bond formation. Obviously, investigations on this topic are of great scientific and practical significance. In recent years, we have been targeting this issue and have successfully synthesized the basic C2+ chemicals including carboxylic acids, alcohols, and liquid hydrocarbons, during which we discovered several important new reactions and new reaction pathways. In this Account, we systematically present our work and insights in a broad context with other related reports.1.We discovered a reaction of acetic acid production from methanol, CO2 and H2, which is different from the well-known methanol carbonylation. We also discovered a reaction of C3+ carboxylic acids syntheses using ethers to react with CO2 and H2, which proceeds via olefins as intermediates. Following the new reaction, we realized the synthesis of acetamide by introducing various amines, which may inspire the development of further catalytic schemes for preparing a variety of special chemicals using carbon dioxide as a building block.2.We designed a series of homogeneous catalysts to accelerate the production of C2+ alcohols via CO2 hydrogenation. In the heterogeneously catalyzed CO2 hydrogenation, we discovered the role of water in enhancing the synthesis of C2+ alcohols. We also developed a series of routes for ethanol production using CO2 and H2 to react with some substrates, such as methanol, dimethyl ether, aryl methyl ether, lignin, or paraformaldehyde.3.We designed a catalyst that can directly hydrogenate CO2 to C5+ hydrocarbons at 200 °C, not via the traditional CO or methanol intermediates. We also designed a route to couple homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, where exceptional results are achieved at 180 °C.

Abstract
The effect of both the Fe : Ni ratio (5 to 1 : 1) and the relative Lewis acidity of a metal oxide support on catalytic activity, selectivity and stability was investigated in the CO2 mediated oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane (CO2-ODH). To avoid effects of varying pore sizes, shapes and volumes of the supports, chromia and zirconia overlayers were coated onto a common γ-Al2O3 carrier (CrOx@Al2O3 and ZrOx@Al2O3). Separately, oxidic FexNiy alloy precursor nanoparticles were prepared using a nonaqueous surfactant-free method and deposited by sonication onto the carrier. In comparison to previous studies in the field, this synthesis technique yields closely associated iron and nickel increasing the chances for alloy formation. During reduction, a mixture of a bcc and a fcc alloy phase was formed, with the content of bcc increasing with increasing iron content as predicted by the bulk phase diagram. Upon exposure to carbon dioxide at elevated temperatures, the bcc metallic phase is selectively oxidised to an inverse spinel structure via the dissociation of CO2. When exposed to CO2-ODH conditions, the bare ZrOx@Al2O3 support shows no activity. The presence of FeNi phases increases the conversion of ethane and CO2 marginally (<2%) but forms ethylene at high selectivity (SC2H4 > 80%). The CrOx@Al2O3 support shows some initial activity (XC2H6 < 5%) at very high ethylene selectivity (SC2H4 > 90%) but deactivates with time on stream. Comparison of the ethane and carbon dioxide conversions suggests that direct dehydrogenation rather than the oxidative pathway is taking place. When FeNi particles with the highest Fe content are added, the ethane conversion behavior hardly changes, but the CO2 conversion is increased now supporting the stoichiometric CO2-ODH reaction (SC2H4 > 95%). It is therefore evident that a tandem catalyst system between a reducible oxide carrier and the FeNi species is required. Increasing the Ni content results in an increase in activity and stability while changing the dominant reaction pathway to a combination of dry reforming, CO2-ODH and possibly the reverse Boudouard reaction, with the latter countering catalyst deactivation through carbon deposition.

Abstract
Renewable CO2 electrosynthesis is a potentially promising tool to utilize unwanted greenhouse gas. The greatest barrier to its adoption is rendering the production of CO2-derived chemicals cost-competitive, such that they have higher net value than their fossil-derived equivalents. Among the commodities that have been made using CO2, H2O, and electricity, CH4 is one of the simplest and most researched products. Technoeconomic studies of CO2 methanation make it clear that its high-value applications are limited without significant subsidy on Earth, where it competes with low-cost natural gas. In space, however, CO2 methanation via the Sabatier reaction is already used on the International Space Station to recycle atomic oxygen, and propulsion systems employing cryogenic liquid methane are in development for reusable rocket engines. Comparative analysis of power-to-gas using either CO2 electrosynthesis or the Sabatier reaction from an aerospace perspective identifies research priorities and parameters for deployment. Given its atmospheric CO2 concentration over 95%, Mars may present future opportunities for technology that could also help overcome our climate challenges on Earth. Carbon dioxide conversion is useful for space exploration today and in the future Reusable rocket engines can use methane made from carbon dioxide as fuel This is useful on Mars, where the atmosphere is >95% carbon dioxide Compact systems that produce fuel from carbon dioxide are demonstrated

Abstract
The preparation of copper-based heterogeneous catalysts dedicated to the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol typically relies on multi-step procedures carried out in batch. These steps are precisely tailored to introduce the active phase (Cu) and the promoters (e. g., zinc, gallium) onto a preformed support to maximize catalyst performance. However, each process step can be associated with the formation of waste and with the consumption of energy, thereby negatively impacting the environmental performance of the overall catalyst preparation procedure. Here, a direct and continuous production process is proposed for the synthesis of efficient catalysts for the CO2 -to-methanol reaction. Gallium- and zinc-promoted mesoporous Cu-SiO2 catalysts were prepared in one step by the aerosol-assisted sol-gel process. The catalysts consisted of spherical microparticles and featured high specific surface area and pore volume, with interconnected pores of about 6 nm. A strong promoting effect of Ga and Zn was highlighted, boosting the selectivity for methanol at the expense of CO. Upon calcination, it was shown that Cu species (initially trapped in the silica matrix) underwent a migration towards the catalyst surface and a progressive sintering. After optimization, the catalysts obtained via such direct, continuous, simple, and scalable route could compete with the best catalysts reported in the literature and obtained via multi-step approaches.

Abstract
In order to explore co-production alternatives, a once-through process for CO2 hydrogenation to chemicals and liquid fuels was investigated experimentally. In this approach, two different catalysts were considered; the first was a Cu-based catalyst that hydrogenates CO2 to methanol and CO and the second a Fisher–Tropsch (FT) Co-based catalyst. The two catalysts were loaded into different reactors and were initially operated separately. The experimental results show that: (1) the Cu catalyst was very active in both the methanol synthesis and reverse-water gas shift (R-WGS) reactions and these two reactions were restricted by thermodynamic equilibrium; this was also supported by an Aspen plus simulation of an (equilibrium) Gibbs reactor. The Aspen simulation results also indicated that the reactor can be operated adiabatically under certain conditions, given that the methanol reaction is exothermic and R-WGS is endothermic. (2) the FT catalyst produced mainly CH4 and short chain saturated hydrocarbons when the feed was CO2/H2. When the two reactors were coupled in series and the presence of CO in the tail gas from the first reactor (loaded with Cu catalyst) significantly improves the FT product selectivity toward higher carbon hydrocarbons in the second reactor compared to the standalone FT reactor with only CO2/H2 in the feed.

Abstract
The electrochemical reduction of CO2 is a promising way to recycle it to produce value-added chemicals and fuels. However, the requirement of high overpotential and the low solubility of CO2 in water severely limit their efficient conversion. To overcome these problems, in this work, a new type of electrolyte solution constituted by ionic liquids and propylene carbonate was used as the cathodic solution, to study the conversion of CO2 on an Ag electrode. The linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), Tafel characterization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to study the catalytic effect and the mechanism of ionic liquids in electrochemical reduction of CO2. The LSV and Tafel characterization indicated that the chain length of 1-alkyl-3-methyl imidazolium cation had strong influences on the catalytic performance for CO2 conversion. The EIS analysis showed that the imidazolium cation that absorbed on the Ag electrode surface could stabilize the anion radical (CO2•−), leading to the enhanced efficiency of CO2 conversion. At last, the catalytic performance was also evaluated, and the results showed that Faradaic efficiency for CO as high as 98.5% and current density of 8.2 mA/cm2 could be achieved at −1.9 V (vs. Fc/Fc+).

Abstract
The selective hydrogenation of organic carbonates to methanol is a relevant transformation to realize flexible processes for the recycling of waste CO2 with renewable H2 mediated by condensed carbon dioxide surrogates. Oxide-supported copper nanoparticles are promising solid catalysts for this selective hydrogenation. However, essential for their optimization is to rationalize the prominent impact of the oxide support on performance. Herein, the role of Lewis acid centers, exposed on the oxide support at the periphery of the Cu nanoparticles, was systematically assessed. For the hydrogenation of propylene carbonate, as a model cyclic carbonate, the conversion rate, the apparent activation energy, and the selectivity to methanol correlate with the Lewis acidity of the coordinatively unsaturated cationic sites exposed on the oxide support. Lewis sites of markedly low and high electron-withdrawing character promote unselective decarbonylation and decarboxylation reaction pathways, respectively. Supports exposing Lewis sites of intermediate acidity maximize the selectivity to methanol while inhibiting acid-catalyzed secondary reactions of the propanediol product, and thus enable its recovery in cyclic processes of CO2 hydrogenation mediated by condensed carbonate derivatives. These findings help rationalize metal-support promotion effects that determine the performance of supported metal nanoparticles in this and other selective hydrogenation reactions of significance in the context of sustainable chemistry.

Abstract
The synthesis of oxygenate products, including cyclic ketones and phenol, from carbon dioxide and water in the absence of gas-phase hydrogen has been demonstrated. The reaction takes place in subcritical conditions at 300 °C and pressure at room temperature of 25 barg. This is the first observation of the production of cyclic ketones by this route and represents a step towards the synthesis of valuable intermediates and products, including methanol, without relying on fossil sources or hydrogen, which carries a high carbon footprint in its production by conventional methods. Inspiration for these studies was taken directly from natural processes occurring in hydrothermal environments around ocean vents. Bulk iron and iron oxides were investigated to provide a benchmark for further studies, whereas reactions over alumina and zeolite-based catalysts were employed to demonstrate, for the first time, the ability to use catalyst properties such as acidity and pore size to direct the reaction towards specific products. Bulk iron and iron oxides produced methanol as the major product in concentrations of approximately 2-3 mmol L-1 . By limiting the hydrogen availability through increasing the initial CO2 /H2 O ratio the reaction could be directed to yield phenol. Alumina and zeolites were both observed to enhance the production of longer-chained species (up to C8 ), likely owing to the role of acid sites in catalysing rapid oligomerisation reactions. Notably, zeolite-based catalysts promoted the formation of cyclic ketones. These proof-of-concept studies show the potential of this process to contribute to sustainable development through either targeting methanol production as part of a "methanol economy" or longer-chained species including phenol and cyclic ketones.

Abstract
Recently, carbon dioxide capture and conversion, along with hydrogen from renewable resources, provide an alternative approach to synthesis of useful fuels and chemicals. People are increasingly interested in developing innovative carbon dioxide hydrogenation catalysts, and the pace of progress in this area is accelerating. Accordingly, this perspective presents current state of the art and outlook in synthesis of light olefins, dimethyl ether, liquid fuels, and alcohols through two leading hydrogenation mechanisms: methanol reaction and Fischer-Tropsch based carbon dioxide hydrogenation. The future research directions for developing new heterogeneous catalysts with transformational technologies, including 3D printing and artificial intelligence, are provided. Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and conversion provide an alternative approach to synthesis of useful fuels and chemicals. Here, Ye et al. give a comprehensive perspective on the current state of the art and outlook of CO2 catalytic hydrogenation to the synthesis of light olefins, dimethyl ether, liquid fuels, and alcohols.
