Abstract
The metal-support interaction is crucial for the performance of Cu-based catalysts. However, the distinctive properties of the support metal element itself are often overlooked in catalyst design. In this paper, a sheet Cu-Zn-Ce with [Ce3+-OV-Ce4+] located on the surface was designed by the sol-gel method. Through EPR and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), the relationship between the content of oxygen vacancies and Ce was revealed. Ce itself induces the generation of [Ce3+-OV-Ce4+]. Through ICP-MS, XPS, and SEM-mapping, the Ce-induced formation of [Ce3+-OV-Ce4+] located on the catalyst surface was demonstrated. CO2-TPD and DFT calculations further revealed that [Ce3+-OV-Ce4+] enhanced CO2 adsorption, leading to a 10% increase in methanol selectivity compared to Cu-Zn-Ce synthesized via the coprecipitation method.

Abstract
Phenol production through the oxidation of cyclohexylbenzene (CHB) and the subsequent decomposition of tertiary hydroperoxide has attracted more and more attention. In this study, defective La2-xCuO4 perovskite-type oxide catalysts with tunable A-site deficient structures and abundant surface oxygen vacancies were developed for the liquid phase oxidation of CHB to produce cyclohexylbenzene-1-hydroperoxide (CHBHP). By tuning the amount of A-site La ions in the perovskite structure, more surface oxygen vacancies and Cu+ species were formed in catalysts. The A-site-deficient La1.9CuO4 catalyst achieved significant catalytic efficiency along with a high CHBHP yield of 27.6% at 48.6% CHB conversion under reaction conditions (i.e., 120 °C and 12 h), outperforming those of other transition metal-based catalysts previously reported in the literature. A series of structural characterization methods and catalytic reactions highlighted the crucial roles of surface oxygen vacancies and metal La and Cu ions in the oxidation process. It was revealed that metal ions favored CHB adsorption and activation, while surface oxygen vacancies facilitated the creation of active adsorbed oxygen species. The present study offers an opportunity for the future design of new high-efficiency heterogeneous catalyst systems for CHB oxidation to obtain phenol.

Abstract
The direct hydrogenation of CO or CO2 to methanol, a highly vivid research area in the context of sustainable development, is typically carried out with Cu-based catalysts. Specific elements (so-called promoters) improve the catalytic performance of these systems under a broad range of reaction conditions (from pure CO to pure CO2). Some of these promoters, such as Ga and Zn, can alloy with Cu and their role remains a matter of debate. In that context, we used periodic DFT calculations on slab models and ab initio thermodynamics to evaluate both metal alloying and surface formation by considering multiple surface facets, different promoter concentrations and spatial distributions as well as adsorption of several species (O*, H*, CO* and ) for different gas phase compositions. Both Ga and Zn form an fcc-alloy with Cu due to the stronger interaction of the promoters with Cu than with themselves. While the Cu-Ga-alloy is more stable than the Cu-Zn-alloy at low promoter concentrations (<25%), further increasing the promoter concentration reverses this trend, due to the unfavoured Ga-Ga-interactions. Under CO2 hydrogenation conditions, a substantial amount of O* can adsorb onto the alloy surfaces, resulting in partial dealloying and oxidation of the promoters. Therefore, the CO2 hydrogenation conditions are actually rather oxidising for both Ga and Zn despite the large amount of H2 present in the feedstock. Thus, the growth of a GaO x /ZnO x overlayer is thermodynamically preferred under reaction conditions, enhancing CO2 adsorption, and this effect is more pronounced for the Cu-Ga-system than for the Cu-Zn-system. In contrast, under CO hydrogenation conditions, fully reduced and alloyed surfaces partially covered with H* and CO* are expected, with mixed CO/CO2 hydrogenation conditions resulting in a mixture of reduced and oxidised states. This shows that the active atmosphere tunes the preferred state of the catalyst, influencing the catalytic activity and stability, indicating that the still widespread image of a static catalyst under reaction conditions is insufficient to understand the complex interplay of processes taking place on a catalyst surface under reaction conditions, and that dynamic effects must be considered.

Abstract
Currently, direct catalytic CO2 hydrogenation to produce ethanol is an effective and feasible way for the resource utilization of CO2. However, constructing non-precious metal catalysts with satisfactory activity and desirable ethanol selectivity remains a huge challenge. Herein, we reported gallium-promoted CuCo-based catalysts derived from single-source Cu-Co-Ga-Al layered double hydroxide precursors. It was manifested that the introduction of Ga species could strengthen strong interactions between Cu and Co oxide species, thereby modifying their electronic structures and thus facilitating the formation of abundant metal-oxide interfaces (i.e., Cu0/Cu+-CoGaOx interfaces). Notably, the as-constructed Cu-CoGa catalyst with a Ga:Co molar ratio of 0.4 exhibited a high ethanol selectivity of 23.8% at a 17.8% conversion, along with a high space-time yield of 1.35 mmolEtOH·gcat-1·h-1 for ethanol under mild reaction conditions (i.e., 220 °C, 3 MPa pressure), which outperformed most non-noble metal-based catalysts previously reported. According to the comprehensive structural characterizations and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectra of CO2/CO adsorption and CO2 hydrogenation, it was unambiguously revealed that CHx could be formed at oxygen vacancies of defective CoGaOx species, while CO could be stabilized by Cu+ species, and thus the catalytic synergistic role of Cu0/Cu+-CoGaOx interfacial sites promoted the generation of CHx and CO intermediates to participate in the CHx-CO coupling process and simultaneously inhibited alkylation reactions. The present work points out a promising new strategy for constructing CuCo-based catalysts with favorable interfacial sites for highly efficient CO2 hydrogenation to produce ethanol.

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
A continuous increase in the amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) is causing serious threats to the environment and life on the earth, and CO2 is one of the major candidates. Reducing the excess CO2 by converting into industrial products could be beneficial for the environment and also boost up industrial growth. In particular, the conversion of CO2 into methanol is very beneficial as it is cheaper to produce from biomass, less inflammable, and advantageous to many industries. Application of various plants, algae, and microbial enzymes to recycle the CO2 and using these enzymes separately along with CO2-phillic materials and chemicals can be a sustainable solution to reduce the global carbon footprint. Materials such as MOFs, porphyrins, and nanomaterials are also used widely for CO2 absorption and conversion into methanol. Thus, a combination of enzymes and materials which convert the CO2 into methanol could energize the CO2 utilization. The CO2 to methanol conversion utilizes carbon better than the conventional syngas and the reaction yields fewer by-products. The methanol produced can further be utilized as a clean-burning fuel, in pharmaceuticals, automobiles and as a general solvent in various industries etc. This makes methanol an ideal fuel in comparison to the conventional petroleum-based ones and it is advantageous for a safer and cleaner environment. In this review article, various aspects of the circular economy with the present scenario of environmental crisis will also be considered for large-scale sustainable biorefinery of methanol production from atmospheric CO2.

Abstract
Dimethyl ether (DME) can be directly synthesized from carbon dioxide and hydrogen by mixing methanol synthesis catalysts and methanol dehydration catalysts. The activity and selectivity of the catalyst can be greatly affected by the promoter; herein, we presented a series of CuO-ZnO-Ga2O3/HZSM-5 hybrid catalysts, which were prepared by the coprecipitation method. The effect of the Ga2O3 content on the structure and performance of the Ga-promoted Cu-ZnO/HZSM-5 based catalysts was thoroughly investigated. The results showed that the addition of Ga2O3 significantly increased specific surface areas and Cu areas, decreased the size of Cu particles, maintained the proportion of Cu+/Cu0 on the surface of the catalyst, and strengthened the metal-support interaction, resulting in high catalytic performance.
