Abstract
The urgent need to address global carbon emissions and promote sustainable energy solutions has led to a growing interest in carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion technologies. Among these, the transformation of CO2 into methanol (MeOH) has gained prominence as an effective mitigation strategy. This review paper provides a comprehensive exploration of recent advances and applications in the direct utilization of CO2 for the synthesis of MeOH, encompassing various aspects from catalysts to market analysis, environmental impact, and future prospects. We begin by introducing the current state of CO2 mitigation strategies, highlighting the significance of carbon recycling through MeOH production. The paper delves into the chemistry and technology behind the conversion of CO2 into MeOH, encompassing key themes such as feedstock selection, material and energy supply, and the various conversion processes, including chemical, electrochemical, photochemical, and photoelectrochemical pathways. An in-depth analysis of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts for MeOH synthesis is provided, shedding light on the advantages and drawbacks of each. Furthermore, we explore diverse routes for CO2 hydrogenation into MeOH, emphasizing the technological advances and production processes associated with this sustainable transformation. As MeOH holds a pivotal role in a wide range of chemical applications and emerges as a promising transportation fuel, the paper explores its various chemical uses, transportation, storage, and distribution, as well as the evolving MeOH market. The environmental and energy implications of CO2 conversion to MeOH are discussed, including a thermodynamic analysis of the process and cost and energy evaluations for large-scale catalytic hydrogenation.

Abstract
The CO2 catalytic hydrogenation represents a promising approach for gas-phase CO2 utilization in a direct manner. Due to its excellent hydrogenation ability, nickel has been widely studied and has shown good activities in CO2 hydrogenation reactions, in addition to its high availability and low price. However, Ni-based catalysts are prone to sintering under elevated temperatures, leading to unstable catalytic performance. In the present study, various characterization techniques were employed to study the structural evolution of Ni/SiO2 during CO2 hydrogenation. An anti-sintering phenomenon is observed for both 9% Ni/SiO2 and 1% Ni/SiO2 during CO2 hydrogenation at 400°C. Results revealed that Ni species were re-dispersed into smaller-sized nanoparticles and formed Ni0 active species. While interestingly, this anti-sintering phenomenon leads to distinct outcomes for two catalysts, with a gradual increase in both reactivity and CH4 selectivity for 9% Ni/SiO2 presumably due to the formation of abundant surface Ni° from redispersion, while an apparent decreasing trend of CH4 selectivity for 1% Ni/SiO2 sample, presumably due to the formation of ultra-small nanoparticles that diffuse and partially filled the mesoporous pores of the silica support over time. Finally, the redispersion phenomenon was found relevant to the H2 gas in the reaction environment and enhanced as the H2 concentration increased. This finding is believed to provide in-depth insights into the structural evolution of Ni-based catalysts and product selectivity control in CO2 hydrogenation reactions.

Abstract
The direct hydrogenation of CO2 into alcohols is an attractive but challenging catalytic reaction. Herein, it was shown that Cu nanoparticles supported on MFI and BEA zeolites have high catalytic activity and selectivity for converting CO2 into ethanol and isopropanol. Furthermore, we investigated the effect of introducing mesopores via carbon templating and encapsulating the Cu nanoparticles via subsequent recrystallization. All the catalysts were characterized by N2 physisorption, XRD, SEM, TEM, NH3 TPD, XPS, and XRF, before we tested them in a high-pressure water-filled autoclave with a constant partial pressure of CO2 (1 MPa) and an increasing partial pressure of H2 (3-5 MPa). In general, the mesoporous zeolite catalysts resulted in a higher CO2 conversion and selectivity toward ethanol than their non-mesoporous equivalents, while the recrystallized catalyst with encapsulated Cu nanoparticles had a higher selectivity towards isopropanol. For example, Cu@m-S1 showed the highest isopropanol productivity among the recrystallized mesoporous zeolites, corresponding to 20.51 mmol g-1 h-1 under the given reaction conditions. These findings highlight the importance of mesopores in zeolite catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation to alcohols and point a new direction for further research and development.

Abstract
In this paper, catalysts with different aluminum contents were prepared by a co-precipitation method using LDHs (layered double hydroxides) as the precursors through the adjustment of Cu2+ : Fe2+, and the catalysts were named LDO catalysts. The effect of aluminum on CO2 hydrogenation to methanol was investigated by evaluating the characterization. With the addition of Al, Ar physisorption results showed an increase in BET-specific surface area, TEM demonstrated a decrease in catalyst particle diameter, XRD showed that Cu and Fe existed in the catalyst mainly in the form of CuFe2O4 and CuO, XPS demonstrated a decrease in electron cloud density and an increase in base sites and oxygen vacancies, and CO2-TPD and H2-TPD results indicated that Al promoted the dissociation and adsorption of CO2 and H2. When the reaction temperature was 230 °C, the pressure was 4 MPa, H2/CO2 = 2.5 and the space velocity was 2000 ml (h gcat)-1, the best conversion (14.87%) and the highest methanol selectivity (39.53%) of the catalyst were obtained at 30% aluminum content.

Abstract
For many years, capturing, storing or sequestering CO2 from concentrated emission sources or from air has been a powerful technique for reducing atmospheric CO2. Moreover, the use of CO2 as a C1 building block to mitigate CO2 emissions and, at the same time, produce sustainable chemicals or fuels is a challenging and promising alternative to meet global demand for chemicals and energy. Hence, the chemical incorporation and conversion of CO2 into valuable chemicals has received much attention in the last decade, since CO2 is an abundant, inexpensive, nontoxic, nonflammable, and renewable one-carbon building block. Nevertheless, CO2 is the most oxidized form of carbon, thermodynamically the most stable form and kinetically inert. Consequently, the chemical conversion of CO2 requires highly reactive, rich-energy substrates, highly stable products to be formed or harder reaction conditions. The use of catalysts constitutes an important tool in the development of sustainable chemistry, since catalysts increase the rate of the reaction without modifying the overall standard Gibbs energy in the reaction. Therefore, special attention has been paid to catalysis, and in particular to heterogeneous catalysis because of its environmentally friendly and recyclable nature attributed to simple separation and recovery, as well as its applicability to continuous reactor operations. Focusing on heterogeneous catalysts, we decided to center on zeolite and ordered mesoporous materials due to their high thermal and chemical stability and versatility, which make them good candidates for the design and development of catalysts for CO2 conversion. In the present review, we analyze the state of the art in the last 25 years and the potential opportunities for using zeolite and OMS (ordered mesoporous silica) based materials to convert CO2 into valuable chemicals essential for our daily lives and fuels, and to pave the way towards reducing carbon footprint. In this review, we have compiled, to the best of our knowledge, the different reactions involving catalysts based on zeolites and OMS to convert CO2 into cyclic and dialkyl carbonates, acyclic carbamates, 2-oxazolidones, carboxylic acids, methanol, dimethylether, methane, higher alcohols (C2+OH), C2+ (gasoline, olefins and aromatics), syngas (RWGS, dry reforming of methane and alcohols), olefins (oxidative dehydrogenation of alkanes) and simple fuels by photoreduction. The use of advanced zeolite and OMS-based materials, and the development of new processes and technologies should provide a new impulse to boost the conversion of CO2 into chemicals and fuels.

Abstract
In the context of an increased interest in the abatement of CO2 emissions generated by industrial activities, CO2 hydrogenation processes show an important potential to be used for the production of valuable compounds (methane, methanol, formic acid, light olefins, aromatics, syngas and/or synthetic fuels), with important benefits for the decarbonization of the energy sector. However, in order to increase the efficiency of the CO2 hydrogenation processes, the selection of active and selective catalysts is of utmost importance. In this context, the interest in graphene-based materials as catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation has significantly increased in the last years. The aim of the present paper is to review and discuss the results published until now on graphene-based materials (graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, or N-dopped graphenes) used as metal-free catalysts or as catalytic support for the thermocatalytic hydrogenation of CO2. The reactions discussed in this paper are CO2 methanation, CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, CO2 transformation into formic acid, CO2 hydrogenation to high hydrocarbons, and syngas production from CO2. The discussions will focus on the effect of the support on the catalytic process, the involvement of the graphene-based support in the reaction mechanism, or the explanation of the graphene intervention in the hydrogenation process. Most of the papers emphasized the graphene’s role in dispersing and stabilizing the metal and/or oxide nanoparticles or in preventing the metal oxidation, but further investigations are needed to elucidate the actual role of graphenes and to propose reaction mechanisms.

Abstract
Hydroxy-terminated polyoxymethylene-co-polyoxyalkylene multi-block telechels were obtained by a new methodology that allows for the formal substituting of ether units in polyether polyols with oxymethylene moieties. An interesting feature is that, unlike carbonate groups in polycarbonate and polyethercarbonate polyols, homopolymer blocks of polyoxymethylene moieties can be formed. The regular nature of polyoxymethylene blocks imparts a certain crystallinity to the polymer that can give rise to new properties of polyurethanes derived from such telechels. The synthesis, reaction sequence and kinetics of the formation of oligomeric hydroxy-terminated multi-block telechel polyoxymethylene moieties are discussed in this paper and the preparation of a polyurethane material is demonstrated.

Abstract
In this work, we studied the role of zinc in the composition of supported iron-containing catalysts for the hydrogenation of CO2. Various variants of incipient wetness impregnation of the support were tested to obtain catalyst samples. The best results are shown for samples synthesized by co-impregnation of the support with a common solution of iron and zinc precursors at the same molar ratio of iron and zinc. Catalyst samples were analyzed by various methods: Raman, DRIFT-CO, TPR-H2, XPS, and UV/Vis. The introduction of zinc leads to the formation of a mixed ZnFe2O4 phase. In this case, the activation of the catalyst proceeds through the stage of formation of the metastable wustite phase FeO. The formation of this wustite phase promotes the formation of metallic iron in the composition of the catalyst under the reaction conditions. It is believed that the presence of metallic iron is a necessary step in the formation of iron carbides—that is, active centers for the formation and growth of chain in the hydrocarbons. This leads to an increase in the activity and selectivity of the formation of hydrocarbons in the process of CO2 hydrogenation.

Abstract
Green carbon science is defined as "Study and optimization of the transformation of carbon containing compounds and the relevant processes involved in the entire carbon cycle from carbon resource processing, carbon energy utilization, and carbon recycling to use carbon resources efficiently and minimize the net CO2 emission." [1] Green carbon science is related closely to carbon neutrality, and the relevant fields have developed quickly in the last decade. In this Minireview, we proposed the concept of carbon energy index, and the recent progresses in petroleum refining, production of liquid fuels, chemicals, and materials using coal, methane, CO2, biomass, and waste plastics are highlighted in combination with green carbon science, and an outlook for these important fields is provided in the final section.

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.
