Abstract
The catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide is one of the important ways to achieve the goal of carbon neutralization, which can be further divided into electrocatalysis, thermal catalysis, and photocatalysis. Although photocatalysis and electrocatalysis have the advantages of mild reaction conditions and low energy consumption, the thermal catalytic conversion of CO2 has larger processing capacity, better reduction effect, and more complete industrial foundation, which is a promising technology in the future. During the development of new technology from laboratory to industrial application, ensuring the safety of production process is essential. In this work, safety optimization design of equipment, safety performance of catalysts, accident types, and their countermeasures in the industrial applications of CO2 to methanol are reviewed and discussed in depth. Based on that, future research demands for industrial process safety of CO2 to methanol were proposed, which provide guidance for the large-scale application of CO2 thermal catalytic conversion technology.

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

Abstract
Methanol synthesis from the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO2) with green H2 has been proven as a promising method for CO2 utilization. Among the various catalysts, indium oxide (In2O3)-based catalysts received tremendous research interest due to the excellent methanol selectivity with appreciable CO2 conversion. Herein, the recent experimental and theoretical studies on In2O3-based catalysts for thermochemical CO2 hydrogenation to methanol were systematically reviewed. It can be found that a variety of steps, such as the synthesis method and pretreatment conditions, were taken to promote the formation of oxygen vacancies on the In2O3 surface, which can inhibit side reactions to ensure the highly selective conversion of CO2 into methanol. The catalytic mechanism involving the formate pathway or carboxyl pathway over In2O3 was comprehensively explored by kinetic studies, in situ and ex situ characterizations, and density functional theory calculations, mostly demonstrating that the formate pathway was extremely significant for methanol production. Additionally, based on the cognition of the In2O3 active site and the reaction path of CO2 hydrogenation over In2O3, strategies were adopted to improve the catalytic performance, including (i) metal doping to enhance the adsorption and dissociation of hydrogen, improve the ability of hydrogen spillover, and form a special metal-In2O3 interface, and (ii) hybrid with other metal oxides to improve the dispersion of In2O3, enhance CO2 adsorption capacity, and stabilize the key intermediates. Lastly, some suggestions in future research were proposed to enhance the catalytic activity of In2O3-based catalysts for methanol production. The present review is helpful for researchers to have an explicit version of the research status of In2O3-based catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol and the design direction of next-generation catalysts.

Abstract
A high-loading Ga-exchanged MFI zeolite was developed for efficient ethane dehydrogenation. Its high catalytic performance is ascribed to both the low amount of Brønsted acid sites and the major formation of [GaH2]+ ions among isolated Ga hydrides.
