Abstract
An enclosed nanospace often shows a significant confinement effect on chemistry within its inner cavity, while whether an open space can have this effect remains elusive. Here, we show that the open surface of TiO2 creates a confined environment for In2O3 which drives spontaneous transformation of free In2O3 nanoparticles in physical contact with TiO2 nanoparticles into In oxide (InOx) nanolayers covering onto the TiO2 surface during CO2 hydrogenation to CO. The formed InOx nanolayers are easy to create surface oxygen vacancies but are against over-reduction to metallic In in the H2-rich atmospheres, which thus show significantly enhanced activity and stability in comparison with the pure In2O3 catalyst. The formation of interfacial In-O-Ti bonding is identified to drive the In2O3 dispersion and stabilize the metastable InOx layers. The InOx overlayers with distinct chemistry from their free counterpart can be confined on various oxide surfaces, demonstrating the important confinement effect at oxide/oxide interfaces.

Abstract
The increase in carbon dioxide emissions has significantly impacted human society and the global environment. As carbon dioxide is the most abundant and cheap C1 resource, the conversion and utilization of carbon dioxide have received extensive attention from researchers. Among the many carbon dioxide conversion and utilization methods, the reverse water-gas conversion (RWGS) reaction is considered one of the most effective. This review discusses the research progress made in RWGS with various heterogeneous metal catalyst types, covering topics such as catalyst performance, thermodynamic analysis, kinetics and reaction mechanisms, and catalyst design and preparation, and suggests future research on RWGS heterogeneous catalysts.

Abstract
CO2 reduction to CO as raw material for conversion to chemicals and gasoline fuels via the reverse water–gas shift (RWGS) reaction is generally acknowledged to be a promising strategy that makes the CO2 utilization process more economical and efficient. Cu-based catalysts are low-cost and have high catalytic performance but have insufficient stability due to hardening at high temperatures. In this work, a series of Cu-based catalysts supported by MoOx were synthesized for noble metal-free RWGS reactions, and the effects of MoOx support on catalyst performance were investigated. The results show that the introduction of MoOx can effectively improve the catalytic performance of RWGS reactions. The obtained Cu/MoOx (1:1) catalyst displays excellent activity with 35.85% CO2 conversion and 99% selectivity for CO at 400 °C. A combination of XRD, XPS, and HRTEM characterization results demonstrate that MoOx support enhances the metal-oxide interactions with Cu through electronic modification and geometric coverage, thus obtaining highly dispersed copper and more Cu-MoOx interfaces as well as more corresponding oxygen vacancies.

Abstract
The catalytic conversion of CO2 to CO by the reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction followed by well-established synthesis gas conversion technologies could be a practical technique to convert CO2 to valuable chemicals and fuels in industrial settings. For catalyst developers, prevention of side reactions like methanation, low-temperature activity, and selectivity enhancements for the RWGS reaction are crucial concerns. Cerium oxide (ceria, CeO2) has received considerable attention in recent years due to its exceptional physical and chemical properties. This study reviews the use of ceria-supported active metal catalysts in RWGS reaction along with discussing some basic and fundamental features of ceria. The RWGS reaction mechanism, reaction kinetics on supported catalysts, as well as the importance of oxygen vacancies are also explored. Besides, recent advances in CeO2 supported metal catalyst design strategies for increasing CO2 conversion activity and selectivity towards CO are systematically identified, summarized, and assessed to understand the impacts of physicochemical parameters on catalytic performance such as morphologies, nanosize effects, compositions, promotional abilities, metal-support interactions (MSI) and the role of selected synthesis procedures for forming distinct structural morphologies. This brief review may help with future RWGS catalyst design and optimization.

Abstract
The exponential growth of greenhouse gas emissions and their associated climate change problems have motivated the development of strategies to reduce CO2 levels via CO2 capture and conversion. Reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction has been targeted as a promising pathway to convert CO2 into syngas which is the primary reactive in several reactions to obtain high-value chemicals. Among the different catalysts reported for RWGS, the nickel-based catalyst has been proposed as an alternative to the expensive noble metal catalyst. However, Ni-based catalysts tend to be less active in RWGS reaction conditions due to preference to CO2 methanation reaction and to the sintering and coke formation. Due to this, the aim of this work is to study the effect of the potassium (K) in Ni/CeO2 catalyst seeking the optimal catalyst for low-temperature RWGS reaction. We synthesised Ni-based catalyst with different amounts of K:Ni ratio (0.5:10, 1:10, and 2:10) and fully characterised using different physicochemical techniques where was observed the modification on the surface characteristics as a function of the amount of K. Furthermore, it was observed an improvement in the CO selectivity at a lower temperature as a result of the K-Ni-support interactions but also a decrease on the CO2 conversion. The 1K catalyst presented the best compromise between CO2 conversion, suppression of CO2 methanation and enhancing CO selectivity. Finally, the experimental results were contrasted with the trends obtained from the thermodynamics process modelling observing that the result follows in good agreement with the modelling trends giving evidence of the promising behaviour of the designed catalysts in CO2 high-scale units.

Abstract
First principles simulations of carbon dioxide adsorbed on the ceria (CeO2) (111) surface are discussed in terms of structural features, stability, charge transfer, and vibrational modes. For this purpose, different density functional theory methods, such as Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) PBE and Hubbard correction, hybrid functionals, and different basis sets have been applied and compared. Both the stoichiometric and the reduced (111) surfaces are considered, where the electronic structure of the latter is obtained by introducing oxygen vacancies on the topmost or the subsurface oxygen layer. Both the potential energy surfaces of the reduced ceria surface and the adsorbate-surface complex are characterized by numerous local minima, of which the relative stability depends strongly on the electronic structure method of choice. Bent CO2 configurations in close vicinity to the surface oxygen vacancy that partially re-oxidize the reduced ceria surface have been identified as the most probable stable minima. However, the oxygen vacancy concentration on the surface turns out to have a direct impact on the relative stability of possible adsorption configurations. Finally, the vibrational analyses of selected adsorbed species on both the stoichiometric and reduced surfaces show promising agreement with previous theoretical and experimental results.

Abstract
The morphologies of ceria nanocrystals play an essential role in determining their redox and catalytic performances in many applications, yet the effects of synthesis variables on the formation of ceria nanoparticles of different morphologies and their related growth mechanisms have not been systematised. The design of these morphologies is underpinned by a range of fundamental parameters, including crystallography, optical mineralogy, the stabilities of exposed crystallographic planes, CeO2-x stoichiometry, phase equilibria, thermodynamics, defect equilibria, and the crystal growth mechanisms. These features are formalised and the key analytical methods used for analysing defects, particularly the critical oxygen vacancies, are surveyed, with the aim of providing a source of design parameters for the synthesis of nanocrystals, specifically CeO2-x. However, the most important aspect in the design of CeO2-x nanocrystals is an understanding of the roles of the main variables used for synthesis. While there is a substantial body of data on CeO2-x morphologies fabricated using low cerium concentrations ([Ce]) under different experimental conditions, the present work fully maps the effects of the relevant variables on the resultant CeO2-x morphologies in terms of the commonly used raw materials [Ce] (and [NO3-] in Ce(NO3)3·6H2O) as feedstock, [NaOH] as precipitating agent, temperature, and time (as well as the complementary vapour pressure). Through the combination of consideration of the published literature and the generation of key experimental data to fill in the gaps, a complete mechanistic description of the development of the main CeO2-x morphologies is illustrated. Further, the mechanisms of the conversion of nanochains into the two variants of nanorods, square and hexagonal, have been elucidated through crystallographic reasoning. Other key conclusions for the crystal growth process are the critical roles of (1) the formation of Ce(OH)4 crystallite nanochains as the precursors of nanorods and (2) the disassembly of the nanorods into Ce(OH)4 crystallites and NO3--assisted reassembly into nanocubes (and nanospheres) as an unrecognised intermediate stage of crystal growth.

Abstract
In this work we report on the combined impact of active phase nature (M: Co or Cu) and ceria nanoparticles support morphology (nanorods (NR) or nanocubes (NC)) on the physicochemical characteristics and CO2 hydrogenation performance of M/CeO2 composites at atmospheric pressure. It was found that CO2 conversion followed the order: Co/CeO2 > Cu/CeO2 > CeO2, independently of the support morphology. Co/CeO2 catalysts demonstrated the highest CO2 conversion (92% at 450 °C), accompanied by 93% CH4 selectivity. On the other hand, Cu/CeO2 samples were very selective for CO production, exhibiting 52% CO2 conversion and 95% CO selectivity at 380 °C. The results obtained in a wide range of H2:CO2 ratios (1-9) and temperatures (200-500 °C) are reaching in both cases the corresponding thermodynamic equilibrium conversions, revealing the superiority of Co- and Cu-based samples in methanation and reverse water-gas shift (rWGS) reactions, respectively. Moreover, samples supported on ceria nanocubes exhibited higher specific activity (µmol CO2·m-2·s-1) compared to samples of rod-like shape, disclosing the significant role of support morphology, besides that of metal nature (Co or Cu). Results are interpreted on the basis of different textural and redox properties of as-prepared samples in conjunction to the different impact of metal entity (Co or Cu) on CO2 hydrogenation process.

Abstract
Reducing greenhouse emissions is of vital importance to tackle the climate changes and to decrease the carbon footprint of modern societies. Today there are several technologies that can be applied for this goal and especially there is a growing interest in all the processes dedicated to manage CO2 emissions. CO2 can be captured, stored or reused as carbon source to produce chemicals and fuels through catalytic technologies. This study reviews the use of ceria based catalysts in some important CO2 valorization processes such as the methanation reaction and methane dry-reforming. We analyzed the state of the art with the aim of highlighting the distinctive role of ceria in these reactions. The presence of cerium based oxides generally allows to obtain a strong metal-support interaction with beneficial effects on the dispersion of active metal phases, on the selectivity and durability of the catalysts. Moreover, it introduces different functionalities such as redox and acid-base centers offering versatility of approaches in designing and engineering more powerful formulations for the catalytic valorization of CO2 to fuels.

Abstract
The ability of ceria to break H2 in the absence of noble metals has prompted a number of studies because of its potential applications in many technological fields. Most of the theoretical works reported in the literature are focused on the most stable (111) termination. However, recently, the possibility of stabilizing ceria particles with selected terminations has opened new avenues to explore. In the present paper, we investigate the role of termination in H2 dissociation on stoichiometric ceria. We model (111)-, (110)-, and (100)-terminated slabs together with the stepped (221) and (331) surfaces. Our results support a dissociation mechanism proceeding via the formation of a hydride/hydroxyl CeH/OH intermediate. Both the stability of such an intermediate and the activation energy depend critically on the termination, the (100)-terminated surfaces being the most reactive: the activation energy is 0.16 eV, and the CeH/OH intermediate is stable by -0.64 eV for the (100) slab, whereas the (111) slab presents 0.75 and 0.74 eV, respectively. We provide structural, energetic, electronic, and spectroscopic data, as well as chemical descriptors correlating structure, energy, and reactivity, to guide in the theoretical and experimental characterization of the Ce-H surface intermediate.

Abstract
Catalytic conversion of CO2 into chemicals is a critical issue for energy and environmental research. Among such reactions, converting CO2 into CO has been regarded as a significant foundation to generate a liquid fuels and chemicals on a large scale. In this work, zeolitic imidazolate framework-derived N-doped carbon-supported metal carbide catalysts (M/ZIF-8-C; M=Ni, Fe, Co and Cu) with highly dispersed metal carbide were prepared for selective CO2 hydrogenation. Under the same metal loadings, catalytic activity for CO2 hydrogenation to CO follows the order: Ni/ZIF-8-C≈Fe/ZIF-8-C>Co/ZIF-8-C>Cu/ZIF-8-C. These catalysts are composed of carbide or metal supported on pyridinic N sites within the N-doped carbon structure. ZIF-8-derived pyridinic nitrogen and carbide effect CO2 adsorption, whereas dispersed Ni or Fe carbide and metal species serve as an active site for CO2 hydrogenation. The supported Ni catalyst exhibits extraordinary catalytic performance, which results from high dispersion of the metal and exposure of the carbide. Based on high-sensitivity low-energy ion scattering (HS-LEIS) and line scan results, density functional theory (DFT) was used to understand reaction mechanism of selective CO2 hydrogenation over Ni/ZIF-8-C. The product CO is derived mainly from the direct cleavage of C-O bonds in CO2 * rather than decomposition of COOH*. The CO* desorption energy on Ni/ZIF-8-C is lower than that for further hydrogenation and dissociation. Comparison of Ni/ZIF-8-C with ZIF-8-C indicates that the combined effects of the highly dispersed metal or carbide and weak CO adsorption result in high CO selectivity for CO2 hydrogenation.

Abstract
Ceria (CeO2) wires with lengths of 6 μm and diameters of tens of nanometers are fabricated through the anisotropic growth of mesocrystals. In the gas–liquid precipitation process, an aqueous Ce(NO3)3 solution is used as a starting material and NH3 gas is used to induce CeO2 precipitation at the gas–liquid interface. CeO2 mesocrystals, formed by this process at 60 °C, grow in the direction of 〈011〉 into micrometer length wires exposing {001} and {011} on their side walls. It is shown that the initial pH of the starting material solution is a key parameter to attain anisotropic growth of the CeO2 mesocrystals. We thus propose the formation mechanism of micrometer length-CeO2 wires from mesocrystals. CeO2 wires several micrometers in length were formed through anisotropic growth of mesocrystals by oriented attachment on {111} surfaces.![]()

Abstract
CO2 conversion covers a wide range of possible application areas from fuels to bulk and commodity chemicals and even to specialty products with biological activity such as pharmaceuticals. In the present review, we discuss selected examples in these areas in a combined analysis of the state-of-the-art of synthetic methodologies and processes with their life cycle assessment. Thereby, we attempted to assess the potential to reduce the environmental footprint in these application fields relative to the current petrochemical value chain. This analysis and discussion differs significantly from a viewpoint on CO2 utilization as a measure for global CO2 mitigation. Whereas the latter focuses on reducing the end-of-pipe problem "CO2 emissions" from todays' industries, the approach taken here tries to identify opportunities by exploiting a novel feedstock that avoids the utilization of fossil resource in transition toward more sustainable future production. Thus, the motivation to develop CO2-based chemistry does not depend primarily on the absolute amount of CO2 emissions that can be remediated by a single technology. Rather, CO2-based chemistry is stimulated by the significance of the relative improvement in carbon balance and other critical factors defining the environmental impact of chemical production in all relevant sectors in accord with the principles of green chemistry.
