Abstract
The electrochemical reduction (ECR) of CO2 to CO by nickel-N4-Schiff base complexes as catalysts was investigated using density functional theory (DFT). Three nickel complexes, 1-Ni, 2-Ni, and [2-Ni]Me were considered. Two CO2 reduction pathways, i.e., external and internal proton transfer, were proposed and their reaction energy profiles were computed. The external proton transfer pathway which includes three steps has no transition state. The reaction energies for all steps are exothermic and the reaction catalyzed by 1-Ni has the lowest overall reaction energy (-5.72 eV) followed by those by 2-Ni (-5.56 eV) and [2-Ni]Me (-5.54 eV). The internal proton transfer pathway is composed of four steps. The internal proton transfer step (carboxylic formation) includes a transition state. The CO2 reduction by [2-Ni]Me could not proceed via this mechanism, since [2-Ni]Me does not have an NH group in the ligand and 1-Ni has a lower activation energy (0.83 eV), which is in agreement with the experiment. The charge of the pre-adsorption nickel complex seems to be related to the activity of the catalysts. The catalyst with a less positive nickel charge is more active.

Abstract
The urgent need for transition to renewable energy is underscored by a nearly 50 % increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels over the past century. The combustion of fossil fuels for energy production, transportation, and industrial activities are the main contributors to carbon dioxide emissions in the anthroposphere. Present approaches to reducing carbon emissions are proving inefficient, thereby accentuating the relevance of carbon dioxide photocatalysis in combating climate change - one of the critical issues of public concern. This process uses sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into valuable products, e.g., clean fuels, effectively reducing the carbon footprint and offering a sustainable use of carbon dioxide. In this context, plasmonic nanoparticles such as gold, silver, and copper play a pivotal role due to their proficiency in absorbing a wide range of light spectra, thereby effectively generating the necessary electrons and holes for the degradation of pollutants and surpassing the capabilities of traditional semiconductor catalysts. This review meticulously examines the latest advancements in plasmon-based carbon dioxide photocatalysis, scrutinizing the methodologies, characterizations, and experimental outcomes. The critical evaluation extends to exploring adjustments in the dimensional and morphological aspects of plasmonic nanoparticles, complemented by the incorporation of stabilizing agents, which may offer additional benefits. Furthermore, the review includes a thorough analysis of production rates and quantum yields based on different plasmonic materials and nanoparticle shapes and sizes, enriching the ongoing discourse on effective solutions in the field. Thus, our work emphasizes the pivotal role of plasmon-based photocatalysts in reducing carbon dioxide, investigating both the merits and challenges associated with integrating this emerging technology into climate change mitigation efforts.

Abstract
Elevated levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere and the diminishing reserves of fossil fuels have raised profound concerns regarding the resulting consequences of global climate change and the future supply of energy. Hence, the reduction and transformation of CO2 not only mitigates environmental pollution but also generates value-added chemicals, providing a dual remedy to address both energy and environmental challenges. Despite notable advancements, the low conversion efficiency of CO2 remains a major obstacle, largely attributed to its inert chemical nature. It is imperative to engineer catalysts/materials that exhibit high conversion efficiency, selectivity, and stability for CO2 transformation. With unparalleled precision at the atomic level, atomic layer deposition (ALD) and molecular layer deposition (MLD) methods utilize various strategies, including ultrathin modification, overcoating, interlayer coating, area-selective deposition, template-assisted deposition, and sacrificial-layer-assisted deposition, to synthesize numerous novel metal-based materials with diverse structures. These materials, functioning as active materials, passive materials or modifiers, have contributed to the enhancement of catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability, effectively addressing the challenges linked to CO2 transformation. Herein, this review focuses on ALD and MLD's role in fabricating materials for electro-, photo-, photoelectro-, and thermal catalytic CO2 reduction, CO2 capture and separation, and electrochemical CO2 sensing. Significant emphasis is dedicated to the ALD and MLD designed materials, their crucial role in enhancing performance, and exploring the relationship between their structures and catalytic activities for CO2 transformation. Finally, this comprehensive review presents the summary, challenges and prospects for ALD and MLD-designed materials for CO2 transformation.

Abstract
CO2 hydrogenation over Rh catalysts comprises multiple reaction pathways, presenting a wide range of possible intermediates and end products, with selectivity toward either CO or methane being of particular interest. We investigate in detail the reaction mechanism of CO2 hydrogenation to the single-carbon (C1) products on the Rh(111) facet by performing periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations and kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) simulations, which account for the adsorbate interactions through a cluster expansion approach. We observe that Rh readily facilitates the dissociation of hydrogen, thus contributing to the subsequent hydrogenation processes. The reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) reaction occurs via three different reaction pathways, with CO hydrogenation to the COH intermediate being a key step for CO2 methanation. The effects of temperature, pressure, and the composition ratio of the gas reactant feed are considered. Temperature plays a pivotal role in determining the surface coverage and adsorbate composition, with competitive adsorption between CO and H species influencing the product distribution. The observed adlayer configurations indicate that the adsorbed CO species are separated by adsorbed H atoms, with a high ratio of H to CO coverage on the Rh(111) surface being essential to promote CO2 methanation.

Abstract
The electrochemical reduction of CO2 to diverse value-added chemicals is a unique, environmentally friendly approach for curbing greenhouse gas emissions while addressing sluggish catalytic activity and low Faradaic efficiency (FE) of electrocatalysts. Here, zeolite-imidazolate-frameworks-8 (ZIF-8) containing various transition metal ions-Ni, Fe, and Cu-at varying concentrations upon doping are fabricated for the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) to carbon monoxide (CO) without further processing. Atom coordination environments and theoretical electrocatalytic performance are scrutinized via X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Upon optimized Cu doping on ZIF-8, Cu0.5 Zn0.5 /ZIF-8 achieves a high partial current density of 11.57 mA cm-2 and maximum FE for CO of 88.5% at -1.0 V (versus RHE) with a stable catalytic activity over 6 h. Furthermore, the electron-rich sp2 C atom facilitates COOH* promotion after Cu doping of ZIF-8, leading to a local effect between the zinc-nitrogen (Zn-N4 ) and copper-nitrogen (Cu-N4 ) moieties. Additionally, the advanced CO2 RR pathway is illustrated from various perspectives, including the pre-H-covered state under the CO2 RR. The findings expand the pool of efficient metal-organic framework (MOF)-based CO2 RR catalysts, deeming them viable alternatives to conventional catalysts.

Abstract
Photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction (PCCR) for methanol synthesis (CH3OH) targeting renewable energy resources is an attractive way to create a sustainable environment and also balance the carbon-neutral series. The application of PCCR to methanol enables the generation of solar energy while reducing CO2, killing two birds with one stone in terms of energy and the environment. In recent years, research on CO2 utilization has focused on hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol due to global warming. This article mainly focuses on selective carbonaceous materials such as graphene, mesoporous carbon, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as catalysts for heterogeneous photocatalytic CO2 reduction to methanol. In addition, special emphasis will be placed on the state of the art of PCCR catalysts as this type of research will be of great benefit for further development in this field. The main features of the reaction kinetics, techno-economic study, and current technological developments in PCCR are covered in detail.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most important greenhouse gas (GHG), accounting for 76% of all GHG emissions. The atmospheric CO2 concentration has increased from 280 ppm in the pre-industrial era to about 418 ppm, and is projected to reach 570 ppm by the end of the 21st century. In addition to reducing CO2 emissions from anthropogenic activities, strategies to adequately address climate change must include CO2 capture. To promote circular economy, captured CO2 should be converted to value-added materials such as fuels and other chemical feedstock. Due to their tunable chemistry (which allows them to be selective) and high surface area (which allows them to be efficient), engineered nanomaterials are promising for CO2 capturing and/or transformation. This work critically reviewed the application of nanomaterials for the transformation of CO2 into various fuels, like formic acid, carbon monoxide, methanol, and ethanol. We discussed the literature on the use of metal-based nanomaterials, inorganic/organic nanocomposites, as well as other routes suitable for CO2 conversion such as the electrochemical, non-thermal plasma, and hydrogenation routes. The characteristics, steps, mechanisms, and challenges associated with the different transformation technologies were also discussed. Finally, we presented a section on the outlook of the field, which includes recommendations for how to continue to advance the use of nanotechnology for conversion of CO2 to fuels.

Abstract
There is a growing interest in the development of routes to produce formic acid from CO2, such as the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to formic acid. The solubility of CO2 in the electrolyte influences the production rate of formic acid. Here, the dependence of the CO2 solubility in aqueous HCOOH solutions with electrolytes on the composition and the NaCl concentration was studied by Continuous Fractional Component Monte Carlo simulations at 298.15 K and 1 bar. The chemical potentials of CO2, H2O, and HCOOH were obtained directly from single simulations, enabling the calculation of Henry coefficients and subsequently considering salting in or salting out effects. As the force fields for HCOOH and H2O may not be compatible due to the presence of strong hydrogen bonds, the Gibbs-Duhem integration test was used to test this compatibility. The combination of the OPLS/AA force field with a new set of parameters, in combination with the SPC/E force field for water, was selected. It was found that the solubility of CO2 decreases with increasing NaCl concentration in the solution and increases with the increase of HCOOH concentration. This continues up to a certain concentration of HCOOH in the solution, after which the CO2 solubility is high and the NaCl concentration has no significant effect.

Abstract
This study developed a facile and effective approach to engineer the surface properties of cerium oxide (CeO2) nanospindle catalysts for the direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from CO2 and methanol. CeO2 nanospindles were first prepared by a simple precipitation method followed by wet chemical redox etching with sodium borohydride (NaBH4) under high intensity ultrasonication (ultrasonic horn, 20 kHz, 150 W/cm2). The ultrasonically assisted surface modification of the CeO2 nanospindles in NaBH4 led to particle collisions and surface reduction that resulted in an increase in the number of surface-active sites of exposed Ce3+ and oxygen vacancies. The surface modified CeO2 nanospindles showed an improvement of catalytic activity for DMC formation, yielding 17.90 mmol·gcat-1 with 100 % DMC selectivity. This study offers a simple and effective method to modify a CeO2 surface, and it can further be applied for other chemical activities.

Abstract
This review explains the various methods of conversion of Carbon dioxide (CO2) to methanol by using homogenous, heterogeneous catalysts through hydrogenation, photochemical, electrochemical, and photo-electrochemical techniques. Since, CO2 is the major contributor to global warming, its utilization for the production of fuels and chemicals is one of the best ways to save our environment in a sustainable manner. However, as the CO2 is very stable and less reactive, a proper method and catalyst development is most important to break the CO2 bond to produce valuable chemicals like methanol. Litertaure says the catalyt types, ratio and it surface structure along with the temperature and pressure are the most controlling parameters to optimize the process for the production of methanol from CO2. This article explains about the various controlling parameters of synthesis of Methanol from CO2 along with the advantages and drawbacks of each process. The mechanism of each synthesis process in presence of metal supported catalyst is described. Basically the activity of Cu supported catalyst and its stability based on the activity for the methanol synthesis from CO2 through various methods is critically described.

Abstract
Carbon cloth electrode modified by covalently attaching a manganese organometallic catalyst is used as cathode for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 in methanol solutions. Six different industrial amines are employed as co‐catalyst in millimolar concentrations to deliver a series of new reactive system. While such absorbents were so far believed to provide a CO2 reservoir and act as sacrificial proton source, we herein demonstrate that this role can be played by methanol, and that the adduct formed between CO2 and the amine can act as an effector or inhibitor toward the catalyst, thereby enhancing or reducing the production of formate. Pentamethyldiethylentriamine (PMDETA), identified as the best effector in our series, converts CO2 in wet methanolic solution into bisammonium bicarbonate. Computational studies revealed that this adduct is responsible for a barrierless transformation of CO2 to formate by the reduced form of the Mn catalyst covalently bonded to the electrode surface. As a consequence, selectivity can be switched on demand from CO to formate anion, and in the case of (PMDETA) an impressive TONHCOO− of 2.8×104 can be reached. This new valuable knowledge on an integrated capture and utilization system paves the way toward more efficient transformation of CO2 into liquid fuel.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is emitted into the atmosphere due to some anthropogenic activities, such as the combustion of fossil fuels and industrial output. As a result, fears about catastrophic global warming and climate change have intensified. In the face of these challenges, conventional CO2 capture technologies are typically ineffective, dangerous, and contribute to secondary pollution in the environment. Biological systems for CO2 conversion, on the other hand, provide a potential path forward owing to its high application selectivity and adaptability. Moreover, many bacteria can use CO2 as their only source of carbon and turn it into value-added products. The purpose of this review is to discuss recent significant breakthroughs in engineering bacteria to utilize CO2 and other one-carbon compounds as substrate. In the same token, the paper also summarizes and presents aspects such as microbial CO2 fixation pathways, engineered bacteria involved in CO2 fixation, up-to-date genetic and metabolic engineering approaches for CO2 fixation, and promising research directions for the production of value-added products from CO2. This review's findings imply that using biological systems like modified bacteria to manage CO2 has the added benefit of generating useful industrial byproducts like biofuels, pharmaceutical compounds, and bioplastics. The major downside, from an economic standpoint, thus far has been related to methods of cultivation. However, thanks to genetic engineering approaches, this can be addressed by large production yields. As a result, this review aids in the knowledge of various biological systems that can be used to construct a long-term CO2 mitigation technology at an industrial scale, in this instance bacteria-based CO2capture/utilization technology.

Abstract
![]()
Recently, deep eutectic
solvents (DES) have been considered as
possible electrolytes for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to value-added products such as formic and oxalic acids.
The applicability of pure DES as electrolytes is hindered by high
viscosities. Mixtures of DES with organic solvents can be a promising
way of designing superior electrolytes by exploiting the advantages
of each solvent type. In this study, densities, viscosities, diffusivities,
and ionic conductivities of mixed solvents comprising DES (i.e., reline
and ethaline), methanol, and propylene carbonate were computed using
molecular simulations. To provide a quantitative assessment of the
affinity and mass transport of CO2 and oxalic and formic
acids in the mixed solvents, the solubilities and self-diffusivities
of these solutes were also computed. Our results show that the addition
of DES to the organic solvents enhances the solubilities of oxalic
and formic acids, while the solubility of CO2 in the ethaline-containing
mixtures are in the same order of magnitude with the respective pure
organic components. A monotonic increase in the densities and viscosities
of the mixed solvents is observed as the mole fraction of DES in the
mixture increases, with the exception of the density of ethaline-propylene
carbonate which shows the opposite behavior due to the high viscosity
of the pure organic component. The self-diffusivities of all species
in the mixtures significantly decrease as the mole fraction of DES
approaches unity. Similarly, the self-diffusivities of the dissolved
CO2 and the oxalic and formic acids also decrease by at
least 1 order of magnitude as the composition of the mixture shifts
from the pure organic component to pure DES. The computed ionic conductivities
of all mixed solvents show a maximum value for mole fractions of DES
in the range from 0.2 to 0.6 and decrease as more DES is added to
the mixtures. Since for most mixtures studied here no prior experimental
measurements exist, our findings can serve as a first data set based
on which further investigation of DES-containing electrolyte solutions
can be performed for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to useful chemicals.

Abstract
Copper oxide (Cu2O) is a potential material as a catalyst for CO2 reduction. Cu2O nanostructures have many advantages, including interfacial charge separation and transportation, enhanced surface area, quantum efficiency, and feasibility of modification via composite development or integration of the favorable surface functional groups. We cover the current advancements in the synthesis of Cu2O nanomaterials in various morphological dimensions and their photochemical and electrochemical applications, which complies with the physical enrichment of their enhanced activity in every application they are employed in. The scope of fresh designs, namely composites or the hierarchy of copper oxide nanostructures, and various ways to improve CO2 reduction performance are also discussed in this review. Photochemical and electrochemical CO2 transformations have received tremendous attention in the last few years, thanks to the growing interest in renewable sources of energy and green facile chemistry. The current review provides an idea of current photochemical and electrochemical carbon dioxide fixing techniques by using Cu2O-based materials. Carboxylation and carboxylative cyclization, yield valuable chemicals such as carboxylic acids and heterocyclic compounds. Radical ions, which are induced by photo- and electrochemical reactions, as well as other high-energy organic molecules, are regarded as essential mid-products in photochemical and electrochemical reactions with CO2. It has also been claimed that CO2 can be activated to form radical anions.

Abstract
Renewable gases, hydrogen and biomethane can be used for the same applications as natural gas: to heat homes, power vehicles and generate electricity. They have the potential to contribute to the decarbonisation of the gas grid. Hydrogen blending with existing natural gas pipelines is also proposed as a means to increase the performance of renewable energy systems. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) technologies can be an answer to the global challenge of significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Due to production methods, these gases typically contain species in trace amounts that can negatively impact the equipment they come into contact with or pipelines when injected into the gas grid. It is therefore necessary to ensure proper (and stable) gas quality that meets the requirements set out in the relevant standards. The gas quality standards require the collection and transport of a representative gas sample from the point of use to the analytical laboratory; i.e., no compounds may be added to or removed from the gas during sampling and transport. To obtain a representative sample, many challenges must be overcome. The biggest challenge is material compatibility and managing adsorption risks in the sampling systems (sampling line and sampling vessels). However, other challenges arise from the need for flow measurement with non-pure gases or from the nature of the matrix. Currently, there are no conclusive results of short-term stability measurements carried out under gas purity conditions (suitable pressure, matrix, appropriate concentrations, simultaneous presence of several species).

Abstract
In this study, a novel photoelectrocatalytic membrane (PECM) reactor was tested as an option for the desalination, disinfection, and detoxification of biologically treated textile wastewater (BTTWW), with the aim to reuse it in hydroponic farming. The anionic ion exchange (IEX) process was used before PECM treatment to remove toxic residual dyes. The toxicity evaluation for every effluent was carried out using the Vibrio fischeri, Microtox® test protocol. The disinfection effect of the PECM reactor was studied against E. coli. After PECM treatment, the 78.7% toxicity level of the BTTWW was reduced to 14.6%. However, photocatalytic desalination during treatment was found to be slow (2.5 mg L-1 min-1 at 1 V potential). The reactor demonstrated approximately 52% COD and 63% TOC removal efficiency. The effects of wastewater reuse on hydroponic production were comparatively investigated by following the growth of the lettuce plant. A detrimental effect was observed on the lettuce plant by the reuse of BTTWW, while no negative impact was reported using the PECM treated textile wastewater. In addition, all macro/micronutrient elements in the PECM treated textile wastewater were recovered by hydroponic farming, and the PECM treatment may be an eco-safe wastewater reuse method for crop irrigation.

Abstract
Previously, we reported a strong Fe-Cu synergy in CO2 hydrogenation to olefin-rich C2+ hydrocarbons over the γ-Al2O3 supported bimetallic Fe-Cu catalysts. In this work, we aimed to clarify such a synergy by investigating the catalyst structure, Fe-Cu interaction, and catalyst surface properties through a series of characterizations. H2-TPR results showed that the addition of Cu made both Fe and Cu easier to reduce via the strong interaction between Fe and Cu. It was further confirmed by X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and TEM, which showed the presence of metallic Fe and Fe-Cu alloy phases in the reduced Fe-Cu(0.17) catalyst induced by Cu addition. By correlating TPD results with the reaction performance, we found that the addition of Cu enhanced both the moderately and strongly adsorbed H2 and CO2 species, consequently enhanced CO2 conversion and C2+ selectivity. Adding K increased the adsorbed-CO2/adsorbed-H2 ratio by greatly enhancing the moderately and strongly adsorbed CO2 and slightly suppressing the moderately and strongly adsorbed H2, resulting in a significantly increased O/P ratio in the produced hydrocarbons. The product distribution analysis and in situ DRIFTS suggested that CO2 hydrogenation over the Fe-Cu catalyst involved both an indirect route with CO as the primary product and a direct route to higher hydrocarbons.

Abstract
Catalytic conversion of CO2 to CO using reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction is a key intermediate step for many CO2 utilization processes. RWGS followed by well-known synthesis gas conversion may emerge as a potential approach to convert CO2 to valuable chemicals and fuels. Nickel (Ni) based catalysts with ceria-zirconia (Ce-Zr) support can be used to tune the metal-support interactions, resulting in a potentially enhanced CO2 hydrogenation rate and elongation of the catalyst lifespan. The thermodynamics of RWGS reaction is favored at high temperature for CO2 conversion. In this paper the effect of Palladium (Pd) and Iridium (Ir) as promoters in the activity of 10 wt%Ni 2 wt%Pd 0.1wt%Ir/CeZrO2 catalyst for the reverse water gas shift reaction was investigated. RWGS was studied for different feed (CO2:H2) ratios. The new active interface between Ni, Pd and Ir particles is proposed to be an important factor in enhancing catalytic activity. 10 wt%Ni 2 wt%Pd 0.1 wt%Ir/CeZrO2 catalyst showed a better activity with CO2 conversion of 52.4% and a CO selectivity of 98% for H2:CO2 (1:1) compared to the activity of 10%Ni/CeZrO2 with CO2 conversion of 49.9% and a CO selectivity of 93%. The catalytic activity for different feed ratios using 10 wt%Ni 2 wt%Pd 0.1 wt%Ir/CeZrO2 were also studied. The use of palladium and iridium boosts the stability and life span of the Ni-based catalysts. This indicates that the catalyst could be used potentially to design RWGS reactors for CO2 utilization units.

Abstract
With the aim of finding a suitable synthesizable superalkali species, using the B3LYP/6-31G* density functional level of theory we provide results for the interaction between the buckminsterfullerene C60 and the superalkali Li3F2. We show that this endofullerene is stable and provides a closed environment in which the superalkali can exist and interact with CO2. It is worthwhile to mention that the optimized Li3F2 structure inside C60 is not the most stable C2v isomer found for the "free" superalkali but the D3h geometry. The binding energy at 0 K between C60 and Li3F2 (D3h) is computed to be 119 kJ mol-1. Once CO2 is introduced in the endofullerene, it is activated, and theO C O ^ angle is bent to 132°. This activation does not follow the previously studied CO2 reduction by an electron transfer process from the superalkali, but it is rather an actual reaction where a F (from Li3F2) atom is bonded to the CO2. From a thermodynamic analysis, both CO2 and the encapsulated [Li3F2⋅CO2] are destabilized in C60 with solvation energies at 0 K of 147 and < -965 kJ mol-1, respectively.

Abstract
The present study proposes a new approach for direct CO2 conversion using primary radicals from water irradiation. In order to ensure reduction of CO2 into CO2 -. by all the primary radiation-induced water radicals, we use formate ions to scavenge simultaneously the parent oxidizing radicals H. and OH. producing the same transient CO2 -. radicals. Conditions are optimized to obtain the highest conversion yield of CO2 . The goal is achieved under mild conditions of room temperature, neutral pH and 1 atm of CO2 pressure. All the available radicals are exploited for selectively converting CO2 into oxalate that is accompanied by H2 evolution. The mechanism presented accounts for the results and also sheds light on the data in the literature. The radiolytic approach is a mild and scalable route of direct CO2 capture at the source in industry and the products, oxalate salt and H2 , can be easily separated.

Abstract
As alternatives to traditional fermentation substrates, methanol (CH3 OH), carbon dioxide (CO2 ) and methane (CH4 ) represent promising one-carbon (C1) sources that are readily available at low-cost and share similar metabolic pathway. Of these C1 compounds, methanol is used as a carbon and energy source by native methylotrophs, and can be obtained from CO2 and CH4 by chemical catalysis. Therefore, constructing and rewiring methanol utilization pathways may enable the use of one-carbon sources for microbial fermentations. Recent bioengineering efforts have shown that both native and nonnative methylotrophic organisms can be engineered to convert methanol, together with other carbon sources, into biofuels and other commodity chemicals. However, many challenges remain and must be overcome before industrial-scale bioprocessing can be established using these engineered cell refineries. Here, we provide a comprehensive summary and comparison of methanol metabolic pathways from different methylotrophs, followed by a review of recent progress in engineering methanol metabolic pathways in vitro and in vivo to produce chemicals. We discuss the major challenges associated with establishing efficient methanol metabolic pathways in microbial cells, and propose improved designs for future engineering.

Abstract
Reduction of CO2 with hydrogen into CO was studied for the first time on alumina-supported Co and Fe catalysts under supercritical conditions with the goal to produce either CO or CH4 as the target products. The extremely high selectivity towards methanation close to 100% was found for the Co/Al2O3 catalyst, whereas the Fe/Al2O3 system demonstrates a predominance of hydrogenation to CO with noticeable formation of ethane (up to 15%). The space–time yield can be increased by an order of magnitude by using the supercritical conditions as compared to the gas-phase reactions. Differences in the crystallographic phase features of Fe-containing catalysts cause the reverse water gas shift reaction to form carbon monoxide, whereas the reduced iron phases initiate the Fischer–Tropsch reaction to produce a mixture of hydrocarbons. Direct methanation occurs selectively on Co catalysts. No methanol formation was observed on the studied Fe- and Co-containing catalysts.

Abstract
Plasmonic hybrid nanostructures have been investigated as attractive heterogeneous photocatalysts that can utilize sunlight to produce valuable chemicals. In particular, the efficient photoconversion of CO2 into a stable hydrocarbon with sunlight can be a promising strategy to achieve a sustainable human life on Earth. The next step for hydrocarbons once obtained from CO2 is the carbon–carbon coupling reactions to produce a valuable chemical for energy storage or fine chemicals. For these purposes, plasmonic nanomaterials have been widely investigated as a visible-light-induced photocatalyst to achieve increased efficiency of photochemical reactions with sunlight. In this review, we discuss recent achievements involving plasmonic hybrid photocatalysts that have been investigated for CO and CO2 photoreductions to form multi-carbon products and for C–C coupling reactions, such as the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions.

Abstract
This article presents an overview of the reports on the doping of TiO2 with carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur, including single, co-, and tri-doping. A comparison of the properties of the photocatalysts synthesized from various precursors of TiO2 and C, N, or S dopants is summarized. Selected methods of synthesis of the non-metal doped TiO2 are also described. Furthermore, the influence of the preparation conditions on the doping mode (interstitial or substitutional) with reference to various types of the modified TiO2 is summarized. The mechanisms of photocatalysis for the different modes of the non-metal doping are also discussed. Moreover, selected applications of the non-metal doped TiO2 photocatalysts are shown, including the removal of organic compounds from water/wastewater, air purification, production of hydrogen, lithium storage, inactivation of bacteria, or carbon dioxide reduction.

Abstract
To achieve methanogenic community optimization and improve the conversion efficiency of CO2 to CH4, Fe nanoparticles were used to promote the Methanothermobacter abundance in methanogens, which significantly increased the conversion efficiency of CO2 and H2 feedstock gases to CH4 product. High-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis revealed that Methanothermobacter abundance markedly increased from 7 to 16% when the Fe nanoparticles concentration increased from 0 to 1.5 g/LR (the working volume in the bioreactor). Therefore, the CH4 yield significantly promoted from 0.105 to 0.186 L/LR. However, when the Fe nanoparticles concentration was further increased to 2 g/LR, methanogenesis was inhibited due to toxic effects. The electron transfer constant kapp of anaerobic sludge increased by 32.8-fold to 5.77 × 10-2 s-1 when the Fe nanoparticles concentration increased from 0 to 1.5 g/LR, which significantly promoted carbon conversion efficiency from 52.9 to 92.9% and energy conversion efficiency from 46.3 to 76.9%.
