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
We present an innovative process for directly transforming poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), a polymer extensively used in food and beverage packaging, into trans-isomer-enriched 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM), a key ingredient in advanced specialty polymers. Our approach leverages a dual-catalyst system featuring palladium on reduced graphene oxide (Pd/r-GO) and oxalate-gel-derived copper-zinc oxide (og-CuZn), utilizing hydrogenation/hydrogenolysis relay catalysis. This method efficiently transforms PET into polyethylene-1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate (PECHD), which is then converted into CHDM with an impressive overall yield of 95 % in a two-stage process. Our process effectively handles various post-consumer PET plastics, converting them into CHDM with yields between 78 % and 89 % across different substrates. Additionally, we demonstrate the applicability and scalability of this approach through a temperature-programmed three-stage relay process on a 10-gram scale, which results in purified CHDM with an isolated yield of 87 % and a notably higher trans/cis ratio of up to 4.09/1, far exceeding that of commercially available CHDM. This research not only provides a viable route for repurposing PET waste but also enhances the control of selectivity patterns in multistage relay catalysis.

Abstract
The controlled creation, selective exposure, and activation of more basal planes while simultaneously minimizing the generation and exposure of edge sites are crucial for accelerating methanol synthesis from CO2 hydrogenation over MoS2 catalysts but remain a bottleneck. Here, we report a facile method to fabricate heteronanotube catalysts with single-layer MoS2 coaxially encapsulating the carbon nanotubes (CNTs@MoS2) through host-guest chemistry. Inheriting the long tubular structure of CNTs, the grown MoS2 nanotubes exhibit significantly more basal planes than bulk MoS2 crystals. More importantly, the tubular curvature not only promotes strain and sulfur vacancy (Sv) generation but also preferentially exposes more in-plane Sv while limiting edge Sv exposure, which is conducive to methanol synthesis. Both the strain and layer number of MoS2 can be easily and finely adjusted by altering CNT diameter and quantity of precursors. Remarkably, CNTs@MoS2 with monolayer MoS2 and maximum strain displayed methanol selectivity of 78.1% and methanol space time yield of 1.6 g gMoS2-1 h-1 at 260 °C and GHSV of 24000 mL gcat.-1 h-1, representing the best results to date among Mo-based catalysts. This study provides prospects for novel catalyst design by synthesizing coaxial tubular heterostructure to create additional catalytic sites and ultimately enhance conversion and selectivity.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic carbon-dioxide reduction reactions (ECO2 RR) are one of the most rational techniques to control one's carbon footprint. The desired product formation depends on deliberate reaction kinetics and a choice of electron-proton contribution. Herein the usage of novel CuS active centers decorated over stable 1T metallic N-WS2 /WO3 nanohybrids as an efficient selective formate conversion electrocatalyst with regard to ECO2 RR is reported. The preferred reaction pathway is identified as *OCHO, which is reduced (by gaining H+ + e- ) to HCOO- (HCOO- path) as the primary product. More significantly, at -1.3 V versus RHE yield of FEHCOO - is 55.6% ± 0.5 with a Jgeo of -125.05 mA cm-2 for CuS@1T-N-WS2 /WO3 nanohybrids. In addition, predominant catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability properties are observed; further post-mortem analysis demonstrates the choice of material importance. The present work describes an impressive approach to develop highly active electrocatalysts for selective ECO2 RR applications.

Abstract
In-plane sulfur vacancies (Sv) in molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) were newly unveiled for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, whereas edge Sv were found to facilitate methane formation. Thus, selective exposure and activation of basal plane is crucial for methanol synthesis. Here, we report a mesoporous silica-encapsulated MoS2 catalysts with fullerene-like structure and atomic copper (Cu/MoS2@SiO2). The main approach is based on a physically constrained topologic conversion of molybdenum dioxide (MoO2) to MoS2 within silica. The spherical curvature enables the generation of strain and Sv in inert basal plane. More importantly, fullerene-like structure of few-layer MoS2 can selectively expose in-plane Sv and reduce the exposure of edge Sv. After promotion by atomic copper, the resultant Cu/MoS2@SiO2 exhibits stable specific methanol yield of 6.11 molMeOH molMo-1 h-1 with methanol selectivity of 72.5% at 260 °C, much superior to its counterparts lacking the fullerene-like structure and copper decoration. The reaction mechanism and promoting role of copper are investigated by in-situ DRIFTS and in-situ XAS. Theoretical calculations demonstrate that the compressive strain facilitates Sv formation and CO2 hydrogenation, while tensile strain accelerates the regeneration of active sites, rationalizing the critical role of strain.

Abstract
Metal promotion is the most widely adopted strategy for enhancing the hydrogenation functionality of an oxide catalyst. Typically, metal nanoparticles or dopants are located directly on the catalyst surface to create interfacial synergy with active sites on the oxide, but the enhancement effect may be compromised by insufficient hydrogen delivery to these sites. Here, we introduce a strategy to promote a ZnZrOx methanol synthesis catalyst by incorporating hydrogen activation and delivery functions through optimized integration of ZnZrOx and Pd supported on carbon nanotube (Pd/CNT). The CNT in the Pd/CNT + ZnZrOx system delivers hydrogen activated on Pd to a broad area on the ZnZrOx surface, with an enhancement factor of 10 compared to the conventional Pd-promoted ZnZrOx catalyst, which only transfers hydrogen to Pd-adjacent sites. In CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, Pd/CNT + ZnZrOx exhibits drastically boosted activity-the highest among reported ZnZrOx-based catalysts-and excellent stability over 600 h on stream test, showing potential for practical implementation.

Abstract
Plasma-catalytic CO2 hydrogenation is a complex chemical process combining plasma-assisted gas-phase and surface reactions. Herein, we investigated CO2 hydrogenation over Pd/ZnO and ZnO in a tubular dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor at ambient pressure. Compared to the CO2 hydrogenation using Plasma Only or Plasma + ZnO, placing Pd/ZnO in the DBD almost doubled the conversion of CO2 (36.7%) and CO yield (35.5%). The reaction pathways in the plasma-enhanced catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 were investigated by in situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy using a novel integrated in situ DBD/FTIR gas cell reactor, combined with online mass spectrometry (MS) analysis, kinetic analysis, and emission spectroscopic measurements. In plasma CO2 hydrogenation over Pd/ZnO, the hydrogenation of adsorbed surface CO2 on Pd/ZnO is the dominant reaction route for the enhanced CO2 conversion, which can be ascribed to the generation of a ZnO x overlay as a result of the strong metal-support interactions (SMSI) at the Pd-ZnO interface and the presence of abundant H species at the surface of Pd/ZnO; however, this important surface reaction can be limited in the Plasma + ZnO system due to a lack of active H species present on the ZnO surface and the absence of the SMSI. Instead, CO2 splitting to CO, both in the plasma gas phase and on the surface of ZnO, is believed to make an important contribution to the conversion of CO2 in the Plasma + ZnO system.

Abstract
Hydrogen spillover is important in solid-phase catalytic hydrogenation reactions, as well as in hydrogen storage and scavenging. The present study explores the nature of this phenomenon by examining the effects of hydrogen pressure and addition of carbonaceous additives, such as carbon nanotubes (CNT) and C60 fullerene, on hydrogenation reaction kinetics and its products distribution. For these purposes, a solid-phase hydrogenation reaction was studied, where 1,4-bis-(phenyl-ethynyl)benzene (PEB) was used as a hydrogen acceptor. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study in which both the reaction kinetics and products distribution of the solid-phase organic hydrogen acceptor were analyzed. A demonstration of hydrogen spillover phenomenon was provided on the basis of the combined interpretation of kinetics and hydrogenated organic products distribution, under different reaction conditions. The results were explained in terms of hydrogen active species availability, distribution and relative migration distance of these species through the carbonaceous media. The insights into the hydrogen spillover chemistry obtained in this research allow for a better understanding of this phenomenon and its implementation in the future hydrogen storage and transportation, and hydrogen-generating devices, including safety aspects of all these applications.

Abstract
A dendritic PdCu/Ce0.3Zr0.7O2 (PdCu/CZ-3) catalyst with uniform spherical morphology was prepared for boosting the catalytic performance of CO2 hydrogenation to methanol (MeOH). The open dendritic pore channels and small particle sizes could reduce not only the diffuse resistance of reactants and products but also increase the accessibility between the active sites (PdCu and oxygen vacancy) and the reactants (H2 and CO2). More spillover hydrogen could be generated due to the highly dispersed PdCu active metals over the PdCu/CZ-3 catalyst. PdCu/CZ-3 can stimulate the generation of more Ce3+ cations, which is beneficial to produce more oxygen vacancies on the surface of the CZ-3 composite. Spillover hydrogen and oxygen vacancy could promote the formate and methoxy routes over PdCu/CZ-3, the primary intermediates producing MeOH. PdCu/CZ-3 displayed the highest CO2 conversions (25.5 %), highest MeOH yield (6.4 %), highest PdCu-TOFMeOH (7.7 h-1) and superior 100 h long-term stability than those of other PdCu/CexZr1-xO2 analogs and the reference PdCu/CeO2 and PdCu/ZrO2 catalysts. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and in situ DRIFTS were performed to investigate the CO2 - MeOH hydrogenation mechanism.

Glycerol Hydrogenolysis to Produce 1,2-Propanediol in Absence of Molecular Hydrogen Using a Pd Promoted Cu/MgO/Al2O3 Catalyst. Catalysts 2021.

Abstract
The catalytic process of glycerol hydrogenolysis to produce 1,2-propandiol (1,2-PD) in the absence of external hydrogen addition has been investigated. The methanol present in the crude glycerol from a biodiesel production process is used to provide in situ hydrogen produced via methanol steam reforming for the glycerol hydrogenolysis process. This process can reduce the additional cost for the transportation and storage of molecular hydrogen and also reduce the safety risks related to using high hydrogen pressure. It was found that the introduction of Pd onto a Cu/MgO/Al2O3 catalyst significantly improved the glycerol conversion and 1,2-PD selectivity. The pseudo-first-order kinetic results suggested that the promoting effect of Pd is primarily attributed to the enhanced activity for the hydrogenation of acetol, which is the intermediate formed via glycerol dehydration. A 27−3 fractional factorial design experiment was carried out to investigate the impacts of seven single factors and their binary effects on two responses, namely 1,2-PD selectivity and glycerol conversion. The results showed that the glycerol feed concentration has the most significant effect on the 1,2-PD selectivity, such that the 1,2-PD selectivity is lower if a more concentrated glycerol is used as the feedstock; stirring speed, inert gas pressure and water to methanol molar ratio have insignificant effects on the reaction system. The addition of Pd, higher temperature and higher catalyst loading are the essential factors in order to obtain a high selectivity of 1,2-PD and a high glycerol conversion.

Abstract
Stable catalyst development for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol is a challenge in catalysis. In this study, indium (In)-promoted Cu nanoparticles supported on nanocrystalline CeO2 catalysts were prepared and explored for methanol production from CO2. In-promoted Cu catalysts with ∼1 wt % In loading showed a methanol production rate of 0.016 mol gCu-1 h-1 with 95% methanol selectivity and no loss of activity for 100 h. It is found that the addition of indium remarkably increases Cu dispersion and decreases Cu particle size. In addition led to an increased metal-support interaction, which stabilizes Cu particles against sintering during the reaction, leading to high stability and activity. In addition, density functional theory calculations suggested that the reaction is proceeding via reverse water gas shift (RWGS) mechanism where the presence of In stabilized intermediate species and lowered CO2 activation energy barriers.

Abstract
The size effects of metal catalysts have been widely investigated to optimize their catalytic activity and selectivity. However, the size-controllable synthesis of uniform supported metal nanoparticles without surfactants and/or additives remains a great challenge. Herein, we developed a green, surfactant-free, and universal strategy to tailor the sizes of uniform Pd nanoparticles on metal oxides by an electroless chemical deposition method via defect engineering of supports. The nucleation and growth mechanism suggest a strong electrostatic interaction between the Pd precursor and low-defective CeO2 and a weak reducing capacity for low-defective CeO2, resulting in small Pd nanoparticles. Conversely, large Pd nanoparticles were formed on a highly defective CeO2 surface. Combined with various ex situ and in situ characterizations, a higher intrinsic activity of Pd for the CO2-to-CO hydrogenation was found on large Pd nanoparticles with higher electron density owing to their stronger H2 dissociation ability and H-spillover effects, as well as the larger number of oxygen vacancies generated in situ for CO2 activation under hydrogenation conditions.

Abstract
Converting CO2 into valuable chemicals via catalytic reactions can mitigate both the greenhouse effect and energy shortage problems, thus designing efficient catalysts have attracted considerable attention over the past decades. In this work, a density functional theory (DFT) calculation was carried out to investigate the CO2 activation and dissociation processes on various PdnPt(4-n)/In2O3 (n = 0-4) catalysts. The PdnPt(4-n)/In2O3 models were initially built, and the interface sites of PdnPt(4-n)/In2O3 for CO2 adsorption were confirmed among cluster sites and substrate sites. The CO2 adsorption geometries, charger transfer, and projected density of states (PDOS) were analyzed to study the CO2-PdnPt(4-n)/In2O3 interactions. From the adsorbed *CO2, the transition states (TSs) for CO2 dissociation to form *CO and *O were gained to reveal the characteristics of the activated CO2δ-. Overall, according to the adsorption energy Eads results, the bimetallic PdPt3/In2O3 and Pd3Pt/In2O3 catalysts showed the strongest and weakest CO2 adsorption stabilities, respectively, while the Pd element addition decreases the barriers for CO2 dissociation with the priority order of Pd4 > Pd3Pt > Pd2Pt2 > PdPt3 > Pt4. The Brønsted-Evans-Polanyi (BEP) relation between activation barriers (Eb) and reaction energies E was obtained for the CO2 dissociation mechanism on PdnPt(4-n)/In2O3 catalysts with the equation of E = 0.20Eb + 0.40. Finally, the optimal Pd2Pt2/In2O3 catalyst for CO2 activation and dissociation was proposed. This study provides useful information for CO2 activation and conversation procedures on bimetal-oxide catalysts, and helps to take the optimal design of PdPt/In2O3 catalysts for the CO2 reaction.

Abstract
The influence of the crystallographic orientation on surface segregation and alloy formation in model PdCu methanol synthesis catalysts was investigated in situ using near-ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy under CO2 hydrogenation conditions. Combined with scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory calculations, the study showed that submonolayers of Pd undergo spontaneous alloy formation on Cu(110) and Cu(100) surfaces in vacuum, whereas they do not form an alloy on Cu(111). Upon heating in H2, inward diffusion of Pd into the Cu lattice is favored, facilitating alloying on all Cu surfaces. Under CO2 hydrogenation reaction conditions, the alloying trend becomes stronger, promoted by the reaction intermediate HCOO*, especially on Pd/Cu(110). This work demonstrates that surface alloying may be a key factor in the enhancement of the catalytic activity of PdCu catalysts as compared to their monometallic counterparts. Furthermore, it sheds light on the hydrogen activation mechanism during catalytic hydrogenation on copper-based catalysts.

Abstract
Cu/ZnO catalysts with varied Cu/(Cu + Zn) molar ratios were prepared by a facile solid-state method. The Cu/(Cu + Zn) molar ratio displayed a significant effect on the oxygen vacancy formation of the calcined catalysts, thereby influencing the CuO-ZnO interaction and the reducibility of CuO. The Cu/(Cu + Zn) molar ratio also exhibited a significant effect on Cu0 surface area, oxygen vacancy, the ratio of ZnO(002) plane to ZnO(100) plane, as well as the basicity and acidity of the reduced catalysts, thereby affecting the catalytic performance for low-temperature methanol synthesis from syngas containing CO2. The correlations of methanol space time yield (STY) versus the physicochemical characteristics of Cu/ZnO catalysts were studied. The catalyst with equal amounts of Cu and Zn displayed the best catalytic activity owing to higher Cu0 surface area, more oxygen vacancy and ZnO(002) plane, as well as more moderately basic sites.

Abstract
The glycerol hydrogenolysis to produce 1,2-propanediol without using externally supplied hydrogen was investigated using methanol present in crude glycerol to provide in situ hydrogen via its steam reforming reaction. This paper focuses on the promoting effect of Pd on the reactivity of a Cu/Zn/Al2O3 catalyst. Adding 2 wt% Pd onto a Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst significantly improved the selectivity to 1,2-propanediol from 63.0% to 82.4% and the glycerol conversion from 70.2% to 99.4%. This enhancement on the catalytic activity by Pd is mainly due to the improved hydrogenation of acetol, which is the intermediate formed during the glycerol dehydration. The rapid hydrogenation of acetol can shift the reaction equilibrium of glycerol dehydration forward resulting in a higher glycerol conversion. The improved reducibility of the catalyst by Pd allows the catalyst to be reduced in situ during the reaction preventing any loss of catalyst activity due to any potential oxidation of the catalyst. The catalyst was slightly deactivated when it was firstly recycled resulting in a 5.4% loss of glycerol conversion due to the aggregation of Cu and the deactivation became less noticeable upon further recycling.

Abstract
In heterogeneous catalysis, bifunctional catalysts often outperform one-component catalysts. The activity is also strongly influenced by the morphology, size, and distribution of catalytic particles. For CO2 hydrogenation, the size of the active copper area on top of the SrTiO3 perovskite catalyst support can affect the activity, selectivity, and stability. Here, a detailed theoretical study of the effect of bifunctionality on an important chemical CO2 transformation reaction, the reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction, is presented. Using density functional theory computation results for the RWGS pathway on three surfaces, namely, Cu(111), SrTiO3, and the Cu/SrTiO3 interface between both solid phases, we construct the energy landscape of the reaction. The adsorbate-adsorbate lateral interactions are taken into account for catalytic surfaces, which show a sufficient intermediate coverage. The mechanism, combining all three surfaces, is used in mesoscale kinetic Monte Carlo simulations to study the turnover and yield for CO production as a function of particle size. It is shown that the reaction proceeds faster at the interface. However, including copper and the support sites in addition to the interface accelerates the conversion even further, showing that the bifunctionality of the catalyst manifests in a more complex interplay between the phases than just the interface effect, such as the hydrogen spillover. We identify three distinct effects, the electronic, cooperative, and geometric effects, and show that the surrounded smaller Cu features on the set of supporting SrTiO3 show a higher CO formation rate, resulting in a decreasing RWGS model trend with the increasing Cu island size. The findings are in parallel with experiments, showing that they explain the previously observed phenomena and confirming the size sensitivity for the catalytic RWGS reaction.

Abstract
Glycerol hydrogenolysis to 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PDO) was performed over activated carbon supported copper-based catalysts. The catalysts were prepared by impregnation using a pristine carbon support and thermally-treated carbon supports (450, 600, 750, and 1000 °C). The final hydrogen adsorption capacity, porous structure, and total acidity of the catalysts were found to be important descriptors to understand catalytic performance. Oxygen surface groups on the support controlled copper dispersion by modifying acidic and adsorption properties. The amount of oxygen species of thermally modified carbon supports was also found to be a function of its specific surface area. Carbon supports with high specific surface areas contained large amount of oxygen surface species, inducing homogeneous distribution of Cu species on the carbon support during impregnation. The oxygen surface groups likely acted as anchorage centers, whereby the more stable oxygen surface groups after the reduction treatment produced an increase in the interaction of the copper species with the carbon support, and determined catalytic performances.

Abstract
Selective hydrogenolysis of biomass-derived glycerol to propanediol is an important reaction to produce high value-added chemicals but remains a big challenge. Herein we report a PtCu single atom alloy (SAA) catalyst with single Pt atom dispersed on Cu nanoclusters, which exhibits dramatically boosted catalytic performance (yield: 98.8%) towards glycerol hydrogenolysis to 1,2-propanediol. Remarkably, the turnover frequency reaches up to 2.6 × 103 molglycerol·molPtCu-SAA-1·h-1, which is to our knowledge the largest value among reported heterogeneous metal catalysts. Both in situ experimental studies and theoretical calculations verify interface sites of PtCu-SAA serve as intrinsic active sites, in which the single Pt atom facilitates the breakage of central C-H bond whilst the terminal C-O bond undergoes dissociation adsorption on adjacent Cu atom. This interfacial synergistic catalysis based on PtCu-SAA changes the reaction pathway with a decreased activation energy, which can be extended to other noble metal alloy systems.

Abstract
Cu-ZnO-based catalysts are of importance for CO2 utilization to synthesize methanol. However, the mechanisms of CO2 activation, the split of the C=O double bond, and the formation of C-H and O-H bonds are still debatable. To understand this mechanism and to improve the selectivity of methanol formation, the combination of strong electronic adsorption (SEA) and atomic layer deposition (ALD) was used to form catalysts with Cu nanoparticles surrounded by a non-uniform ZnO layer, uniform atomic layer of ZnO, or multiple layers of ZnO on porous SiO2. N2 adsorption, H2 temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR) X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), CO-chemisorption, CO2 temperature-programmed desorption (CO2-TPD), X-ray adsorption near edge structure (XANES), and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) were used to characterize the catalysts. The catalyst activity was correlated to the number of metallic sites. The catalyst of 5 wt% Cu over-coated with a single atomic layer of ZnO exhibited higher methanol selectivity. This catalyst has comparatively more metallic sites (smaller Cu particles with good distribution) and basic site (uniform ZnO layer) formation, and a stronger interaction between them, which provided necessary synergy for the CO2 activation and hydrogenation to form methanol.

Abstract
Due to the increasing emission of carbon dioxide (CO2), greenhouse effects are becoming more and more severe, causing global climate change. The conversion and utilization of CO2 is one of the possible solutions to reduce CO2 concentrations. This can be accomplished, among other methods, by direct hydrogenation of CO2, producing value-added products. In this review, the progress of mainly the last five years in direct hydrogenation of CO2 to value-added chemicals (e.g., CO, CH4, CH3OH, DME, olefins, and higher hydrocarbons) by heterogeneous catalysis and plasma catalysis is summarized, and research priorities for CO2 hydrogenation are proposed.
