Abstract
With the continuous increase in CO2 emissions, primarily from the combustion of coal and oil, the ecosystem faces a significant threat. Therefore, as an effective method to minimize the issue, the Reverse Water Gas Shift (RWGS) reaction which converts CO2 towards CO attracts much attention, is an environmentally-friendly method to mitigate climate change and lessen dependence on fossil fuels. Nevertheless, the inherent thermodynamic stability and kinetic inertness of CO2 is a big challenge under mild conditions. In addition, it remains another fundamental challenge in RWGS reaction owing to CO selectivity issue caused by CO2 further hydrogenation towards CH4 . Up till now, a series of catalysis systems have been developed for CO2 reduction reaction to produce CO. Herein, the research progress of the well-performed heterogeneous catalysts for the RWGS reaction were summarized, including the catalyst design, catalytic performance and reaction mechanism. This review will provide insights into efficient utilization of CO2 and promote the development of RWGS reaction.

Abstract
Climate change is becoming increasingly more pronounced every day while the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere continues to rise. CO2 reduction to valuable chemicals is an approach that has gathered substantial attention as a means to recycle these gases. Herein, some of the tandem catalysis approaches that can be used to achieve the transformation of CO2 to C-C coupled products are explored, focusing especially on tandem catalytic schemes where there is a big opportunity to improve performance by designing effective catalytic nanoreactors. Recent reviews have highlighted the technical challenges and opportunities for advancing tandem catalysis, especially highlighting the need for elucidating structure-activity relationships and mechanisms of reaction through theoretical and in situ/operando characterization techniques. In this review, the focus is on nanoreactor synthesis strategies as a critical research direction, and discusses these in the context of two main tandem pathways (CO-mediated pathway and Methanol-mediated pathway) to C-C coupled products.

Abstract
CO2 emissions in the atmosphere have been increasing rapidly in recent years, causing global warming. CO2 methanation reaction is deemed to be a way to combat these emissions by converting CO2 into synthetic natural gas, i.e., CH4. NiRu/CeAl and NiRu/CeZr both demonstrated favourable activity for CO2 methanation, with NiRu/CeAl approaching equilibrium conversion at 350 °C with 100% CH4 selectivity. Its stability under high space velocity (400 L·g-1·h-1) was also commendable. By adding an adsorbent, potassium, the CO2 adsorption capability of NiRu/CeAl was boosted, allowing it to function as a dual-function material (DFM) for integrated CO2 capture and utilisation, producing 0.264 mol of CH4/kg of sample from captured CO2. Furthermore, time-resolved operando DRIFTS-MS measurements were performed to gain insights into the process mechanism. The obtained results demonstrate that CO2 was captured on basic sites and was also dissociated on metallic sites in such a way that during the reduction step, methane was produced by two different pathways. This study reveals that by adding an adsorbent to the formulation of an effective NiRu methanation catalyst, advanced dual-function materials can be designed.

Abstract
Molybdenum carbides are promising catalysts for the reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) reaction, and we aim to understand if similar performance can be observed across the library of transition metal carbides. Although tungsten and molybdenum carbides exhibit similar catalytic properties for hydrogenation reactions, tungsten carbide has not been thoroughly evaluated for CO2 hydrogenation. We hypothesize that the extreme synthesis conditions necessary for carburizing tungsten can cause sintering, agglomeration, and carbon deposition, leading to difficulty evaluating the intrinsic activity of tungsten carbides. In this work, tungsten is encapsulated in silica to preserve particle size and demonstrate correlations between the active phase composition and RWGS performance.

Abstract
The inevitable emission of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) due to the burning of a substantial amount of fossil fuels has led to serious energy and environmental challenges. Metal-based catalytic CO2 transformations into commodity chemicals are a favorable approach in the CO2 mitigation strategy. Among these transformations, selective hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol is the most promising process that not only fulfils the energy demands but also re-balances the carbon cycle. The investigation of CO2 adsorption on the surface of heterogeneous catalyst is highly important because the formation of various intermediates which determines the selectivity of product. Transition metal carbides (TMCs) have received considerable attention in recent years because of their noble metal-like reactivity, ceramic-like properties, high chemical and thermal stability. These features make them excellent catalytic materials for a variety of transformations such as CO2 adsorption and its conversion into value-added chemicals. Herein, the catalytic properties of TMCs are summarize along with synthetic methods, CO2 binding modes, mechanistic studies, effects of dopant on CO2 adsorption, and carbon/metal ratio in the CO2 hydrogenation reaction to methanol using computational as well as experimental studies. Additionally, this Review provides an outline of the challenges and opportunities for the development of potential TMCs in CO2 hydrogenation reactions.

Abstract
MoxC-based catalysts supported on γ-Al2O3, SiO2 and TiO2 were prepared, characterized and studied in the reverse water gas shift (RWGS) at 548-673 K and atmospheric pressure, using CO2:H2 = 1:1 and CO2:H2 = 1:3 mol/mol reactant mixtures. The support used determined the crystalline MoxC phases obtained and the behavior of the supported nanostructured MoxC catalysts in the RWGS. All catalysts were active in the RWGS reaction under the experimental conditions used; CO productivity per mol of Mo was always higher than that of unsupported Mo2C prepared using a similar method in the absence of support. The CO selectivity at 673 K was above 94% for all the supported catalysts, and near 99% for the SiO2-supported. The MoxC/SiO2 catalyst, which contains a mixture of hexagonal Mo2C and cubic MoC phases, exhibited the best performance for CO production.

Abstract
Molybdenum carbide (Mo2C) is a promising and low-cost catalyst for the reverse water−gas shift (RWGS) reaction. Doping the Mo2C surface with alkali metals can improve the activity of CO2 conversion, but the effect of these metals on CO2 conversion to CO remains poorly understood. In this study, the energies of CO2 dissociation and CO desorption on the Mo2C surface in the presence of different alkali metals (Na, K, Rb, and Cs) are calculated using density functional theory (DFT). Alkali metal doping results in increasing electron density on the Mo atoms and promotes the adsorption and activation of CO2 on Mo2C; the dissociation barrier of CO2 is decreased from 12.51 on Mo2C surfaces to 9.51−11.21 Kcal/mol on alkali metal-modified Mo2C surfaces. Energetic and electronic analyses reveal that although the alkali metals directly bond with oxygen atoms of the oxides, the reduction in the energy of CO2 dissociation can be attributed to the increased interaction between CO/O fragments and Mo in the transition states. The abilities of four alkali metals (Na, K, Rb, and Cs) to promote CO2 dissociation increase in the order Na (11.21 Kcal/mol) < Rb (10.54 Kcal/mol) < Cs (10.41 Kcal/mol) < K (9.51 Kcal/mol). Through electronic analysis, it is found that the increased electron density on the Mo atoms is a result of the alkali metal, and a greater negative charge on Mo results in a lower energy barrier for CO2 dissociation.

Abstract
This review will be centered around the work that has been reported on the development of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) serving as catalysts for the conversion of carbon dioxide into short-chain hydrocarbons and the generation of clean energies starting from biomass. MOFs have mainly been used as support for catalysts or to prepare catalysts derived from MOFs (as sacrifice template), obtaining interesting results in the hydrogenation or oxidation of biomass. They have presented a good performance in the hydrogenation of CO2 into light hydrocarbon fuels. The common patterns to be considered in the performance of the catalysts are the acidity of MOFs, metal nodes, surface area and the dispersion of the active sites, and these parameters will be discussed in this review.

This work reviews the promotion effects of potassium species on the reaction processes, including adsorption, desorption, the pathway and selectivity of reaction, recovery of active center, and effects on the properties of catalysts, including basicity, electron donor characteristics, redox property, active center, stability, and strong metal-to support interaction. The suggestions about how to improve the promotion effects of potassium species in various catalytic reactions are put forward, which involve controlling carriers, content, preparation methods and reaction conditions. The promotion effects of different alkali metals are also compared. The article number about commonly used active metals and promotion ways are also analyzed by bibliometric on NOx, COx, and VOCs. The promotion mechanism of potassium species on various reactions is similar; therefore, the application prospect of potassium species for the coupling control of multi-pollutants in industrial flue gas at low-temperature is described.

Abstract
Molybdenum carbide (Mox C)-based nanomaterials have shown competitive performances for energy conversion applications based on their unique physicochemical properties. A large surface area and proper surface atomic configuration are essential to explore potentiality of Mox C in electrochemical applications. Although considerable efforts are made on the development of advanced Mox C-based catalysts for energy conversion with high efficiency and stability, some urgent issues, such as low electronic conductivity, low catalytic efficiency, and structural instability, have to be resolved in accordance with their application environments. Surface and interface engineering have shown bright prospects to construct highly efficient Mox C-based electrocatalysts for energy conversion including the hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, nitrogen reduction reaction, and carbon dioxide reduction reaction. In this Review, the recent progresses in terms of surface and interface engineering of Mox C-based electrocatalytic materials are summarized, including the increased number of active sites by decreasing the particle size or introducing porous or hierarchical structures and surface modification by introducing heteroatom(s), defects, carbon materials, and others electronic conductive species. Finally, the challenges and prospects for energy conversion on Mox C-based nanomaterials are discussed in terms of key performance parameters for the catalytic performance.

Abstract
Molybdenum phosphide (MoP) catalyzes the hydrogenation of CO, CO2, and their mixtures to methanol, and it is investigated as a high-activity catalyst that overcomes deactivation issues (e.g., formate poisoning) faced by conventional transition metal catalysts. MoP as a new catalyst for hydrogenating CO2 to methanol is particularly appealing for the use of CO2 as chemical feedstock. Herein, we use a colloidal synthesis technique that connects the presence of MoP to the formation of methanol from CO2, regardless of the support being used. By conducting a systematic support study, we see that zirconia (ZrO2) has the striking ability to shift the selectivity towards methanol by increasing the rate of methanol conversion by two orders of magnitude compared to other supports, at a CO2 conversion of 1.4% and methanol selectivity of 55.4%. In situ X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) and in situ X-ray Diffraction (XRD) indicate that under reaction conditions the catalyst is pure MoP in a partially crystalline phase. Results from Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy coupled with Temperature Programmed Surface Reaction (DRIFTS-TPSR) point towards a highly reactive monodentate formate intermediate stabilized by the strong interaction of MoP and ZrO2. This study definitively shows that the presence of a MoP phase leads to methanol formation from CO2, regardless of support and that the formate intermediate on MoP governs methanol formation rate.

Abstract
Mitigation of anthropogenic CO2 emissions possess a major global challenge for modern societies. Herein, catalytic solutions are meant to play a key role. Among the different catalysts for CO2 conversion, Cu supported molybdenum carbide is receiving increasing attention. Hence, in the present communication, we show the activity, selectivity and stability of fresh-prepared β-Mo2C catalysts and compare the results with those of Cu/Mo2C, Cs/Mo2C and Cu/Cs/Mo2C in CO2 hydrogenation reactions. The results show that all the catalysts were active, and the main reaction product was methanol. Copper, cesium and molybdenum interaction is observed, and cesium promoted the formation of metallic Mo on the fresh catalyst. The incorporation of copper is positive and improves the activity and selectivity to methanol. Additionally, the addition of cesium favored the formation of Mo0 phase, which for the catalysts Cs/Mo2C seemed to be detrimental for the conversion and selectivity. Moreover, the catalysts promoted by copper and/or cesium underwent redox surface transformations during the reaction, these were more obvious for cesium doped catalysts, which diminished their catalytic performance.

Abstract
Low-cost iron-based CO2 hydrogenation catalysts have shown promise as a viable route to the production of value-added hydrocarbon building blocks. It is envisioned that these hydrocarbons will be used to augment industrial chemical processes and produce drop-in replacement operational fuel. To this end, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has been designing, testing, modeling, and evaluating CO2 hydrogenation catalysts in a laboratory-scale fixed-bed environment. To transition from the laboratory to a commercial process, the catalyst viability and performance must be evaluated at scale. The performance of a Macrolite®-supported iron-based catalyst in a commercial-scale fixed-bed modular reactor prototype was evaluated under different reactor feed rates and product recycling conditions. CO2 conversion increased from 26% to as high as 69% by recycling a portion of the product stream and CO selectivity was greatly reduced from 45% to 9% in favor of hydrocarbon production. In addition, the catalyst was successfully regenerated for optimum performance. Catalyst characterization by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), along with modeling and kinetic analysis, highlighted the potential challenges and benefits associated with scaling-up catalyst materials and processes for industrial implementation.

Abstract
Increasing demand for CO2 utilization reactions and the stable character of CO2 have motivated interest in developing highly active, selective and stable catalysts. Precious metal catalysts have been studied extensively due to their high activities, but their implementation for industrial applications is hindered due to their elevated cost. Among the materials which have comparatively low prices, transition metal carbides (TMCs) are deemed to display catalytic properties similar to Pt-group metals (Ru, Rh, Pd, Ir, Pt) in several reactions such as hydrogenation and dehydrogenation processes. In addition, they are excellent substrates to disperse metallic particles. Hence, the unique properties of TMCs make them ideal substitutes for precious metals resulting in promising catalysts for CO2 utilization reactions. This work aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advances on TMCs catalysts towards gas phase CO2 utilization processes, such as CO2 methanation, reverse water gas shift (rWGS) and dry reforming of methane (DRM). We have carefully analyzed synthesis procedures, performances and limitations of different TMCs catalysts. Insights on material characteristics such as crystal structure and surface chemistry and their connection with the catalytic activity are also critically reviewed.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, and needs to be converted into one of the useful feedstocks, such as carbon monoxide and methanol. We demonstrate the reduction of CO2 with H2 as a reducing agent, via a reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction, by using a potential and low cost Mo2C catalyst. Mo2C was evaluated for CO2 hydrogenation at ambient pressure as a function of temperature, and CO2 : H2 ratio at a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 20 000 h-1. It is demonstrated that the Mo2C catalyst with 1 : 3 ratio of CO2 : H2 is highly active (58% CO2 conversion) and selective (62%) towards CO at 723 K at ambient pressure. Both properties (basicity and redox properties) and high catalytic activity observed with Mo2C around 700 K correlate well and indicate a strong synergy among them towards CO2 activation. X-ray diffraction and Raman analysis show that the Mo2C catalyst remains in the β-Mo2C form before and after the reaction. The mechanistic aspects of the RWGS reaction were determined by near-ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (NAPXPS) with in situ generated Mo2C from carburization of Mo-metal foil. NAPXPS measurements were carried out at near ambient pressure (0.1 mbar) and various temperatures. Throughout the reaction, no significant changes in the Mo2+ oxidation state (of Mo2C) were observed indicating that the catalyst is highly stable; C and O 1s spectral results indicate the oxycarbide species as an active intermediate for RWGS. A good correlation is observed between catalytic activity from atmospheric pressure reactors and the electronic structure details derived from NAPXPS results, which establishes the structure-activity correlation.

Abstract
The development of cost-effective catalysts with both high activity and selectivity for carbon-oxygen bond activation is a major challenge and has important ramifications for making value-added chemicals from carbon dioxide (CO2). Herein, we present a one-step pyrolysis of metal organic frameworks that yields highly dispersed cobalt nanoparticles embedded in a carbon matrix which shows exceptional catalytic activity in the reverse water gas shift reaction. Incorporation of nitrogen into the carbon-based supports resulted in increased reaction activity and selectivity toward carbon monoxide (CO), likely because of the formation of a Mott-Schottky interface. At 300 °C and a high space velocity of 300 000 mL g-1 h-1, the catalyst exhibited a CO2 conversion rate of 122 μmolCO2 g-1 s-1, eight times higher than that of a reference Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst. Our experimental and computational results suggest that nitrogen-doping lowers the energy barrier for the formation of formate intermediates (CO2* + H* → COOH* + *), in addition to the redox mechanism (CO2* + * → CO* + O*). This enhancement is attributed to the efficient electron transfer at the cobalt-support interface, leading to higher hydrogenation activity and opening new avenues for the development of CO2 conversion technology.

Abstract
Thermal design and optimization for reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reactors is particularly important to fuel synthesis in naval or commercial scenarios. The RWGS reactor with irreversibilities of heat transfer, chemical reaction and viscous flow is studied based on finite time thermodynamics or entropy generation minimization theory in this paper. The total entropy generation rate (EGR) in the RWGS reactor with different boundary conditions is minimized subject to specific feed compositions and chemical conversion using optimal control theory, and the optimal configurations obtained are compared with three reference reactors with linear, constant reservoir temperature and constant heat flux operations, which are commonly used in engineering. The results show that a drastic EGR reduction of up to 23% can be achieved by optimizing the reservoir temperature profile, the inlet temperature of feed gas and the reactor length simultaneously, compared to that of the reference reactor with the linear reservoir temperature. These optimization efforts are mainly achieved by reducing the irreversibility of heat transfer. Optimal paths have subsections of relatively constant thermal force, chemical force and local EGR. A conceptual optimal design of sandwich structure for the compact modular reactor is proposed, without elaborate control tools or excessive interstage equipment. The results can provide guidelines for designing industrial RWGS reactors in naval or commercial scenarios.

Abstract
Cu-based nanoparticles (NPs) are promising candidates for the catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to useful chemicals because of their low cost. However, CO2 adsorption and activation on Cu is not feasible. In this work we demonstrate a computational framework that identifies Cu-based bimetallic NPs able to adsorb and activate CO2 based on DFT calculations. We screen a series of heteroatoms on Cu-based NPs based on their preference to occupy a surface site on the NP and to adsorb and activate CO2 . We revealed two descriptors for CO2 adsorption on the bimetallic NPs, the heteroatom (i) local d-band center and (ii) electropositivity, which both drive an effective charge transfer from the NP to CO2 . We identified the CuZr bimetallic NP as a candidate nanostructure for CO2 adsorption and showed that although the Zr sites can be oxidized because of their high oxophilicity, they are still able to adsorb and activate CO2 strongly. Importantly, our computational results are verified by targeted synthesis, characterization, and CO2 adsorption experiments that demonstrate that i) Zr segregates on the surface of Cu, ii) Zr is oxidized to form a bimetallic mixed CuZr oxide catalyst, which iii) can strongly adsorb CO2 , whereas Cu NPs cannot. Overall our work highlights the importance of the generation of binding sites on a NP surface based on (catalyst) stability and electronic structure properties, which can lead to the design of more effective CO2 reduction catalysts.

Abstract
The chemical transformation of CO2 is an efficient approach in low-carbon energy system. The development of nonprecious metal catalysts with sufficient activity, selectivity, and stability for the generation of CO by CO2 reduction under mild conditions remains a major challenge. A hierarchical architecture catalyst composed of ultrathin graphene shells (2-4 layers) encapsulating homogeneous FeNi alloy nanoparticles shows enhance catalytic performance. Electron transfer from the encapsulated alloy can extend from the inner to the outer shell, resulting in an increased charge density on graphene. Nitrogen atom dopants can synergistically increase the electron density on the catalyst surface and modulate the adsorption capability for acidic CO2 molecules. The optimized FeNi3 @NG (NG=N-doped graphene) catalyst, with significant electron penetration through the graphene layer, effects exceptional CO2 conversion of 20.2 % with a CO selectivity of nearly 100 %, as well as excellent thermal stability at 523 K.
