ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2024; 16:30157-30165. [PMID: 38808921 PMCID: PMC11181267 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.4c05727] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2024] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/30/2024]
Abstract
The synthesis and properties of stoichiometric, reduced, and Co-doped In2O3 are described in the light of several experimental techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet (UV)-visible spectroscopy, porosimetry, and density functional theory (DFT) methods on appropriate models. DFT-based calculations provide an accurate prediction of the atomic and electronic structure of these systems. The computed lattice parameter is linearly correlated with the experimental result in the Co concentration ranging from 1.0 to 5.0%. For higher Co concentrations, the theoretical-experimental analysis of the results indicates that the dopant is likely to be preferentially present at surface sites. The analysis of the electronic structure supports the experimental assignment of Co2+ for the doped material. Experiments and theory find that the presence of Co has a limited effect on the material band gap.

Abstract
CO2 hydrogenation to methanol has become one of the most promising ways for CO2 utilization, however, the CO2 conversion rate and methanol selectivity of this reaction still need to be improved for industrial application. Here we investigated the structure-activity relationship for CO2 conversion to methanol of In2O3-based catalysts by modulating morphology and decorating Au. Three different Au/In2O3 catalysts were prepared, their activity follow the sequence of Au/In2O3-nanosphere (Au/In2O3-NS) > Au/In2O3-nanoplate (Au/In2O3-NP) > Au/In2O3-hollow microsphere (Au/In2O3-HM). Au/In2O3-NS exhibited the best performance with good CO2 conversion of 12.7%, high methanol selectivity of 59.8%, and large space time yield of 0.32 gCH3OH/(hr·gcat) at 300°C. The high performance of Au/In2O3-NS was considered as the presence of Au. It contributes to the creation of more surface oxygen vacancies, which further promoted the CO2 adsorption and facilitated CO2 activation to form the formate intermediates towards methanol. This work clearly suggests that the activity of In2O3 catalyst can be effective enhanced by structure engineering and Au decorating.

Abstract
Metal-support interactions, which are essential for the design of supported metal catalysts, used, e.g., for CO2 activation, are still only partially understood. In this study of gold-loaded In2O3 and CeO2 catalysts during CO2 hydrogenation using near-ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, supported by near edge X-ray absorption fine structure, we demonstrate that the role of the noble metal strongly depends upon the choice of the support material. Temperature-dependent analyses of X-ray photoelectron spectra under reaction conditions reveal that gold is reduced on CeO2, enabling direct H2 activation, but oxidized on In2O3, leading to decreased activity of Au/In2O3 compared to bare In2O3. At elevated temperatures, the catalytic activity of the In2O3 catalysts strongly increases as a result of facilitated CO2 and (In2O3-based) H2 activation, while the catalytic activity of Au/CeO2 is limited by reoxidation by CO2. Our results underline the importance of operando studies for understanding metal-support interactions to enable a rational support selection in the future.

Abstract
Metal promotion could unlock high performance in zinc-zirconium catalysts, ZnZrOx, for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. Still, with most efforts devoted to costly palladium, the optimal metal choice and necessary atomic-level architecture remain unclear. Herein, we investigate the promotion of ZnZrOx catalysts with small amounts (0.5 mol%) of diverse hydrogenation metals (Re, Co, Au, Ni, Rh, Ag, Ir, Ru, Pt, Pd, and Cu) prepared via a standardized flame spray pyrolysis approach. Cu emerges as the most effective promoter, doubling methanol productivity. Operando X-ray absorption, infrared, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopic analyses and density functional theory simulations reveal that Cu0 species form Zn-rich low-nuclearity CuZn clusters on the ZrO2 surface during reaction, which correlates with the generation of oxygen vacancies in their vicinity. Mechanistic studies demonstrate that this catalytic ensemble promotes the rapid hydrogenation of intermediate formate into methanol while effectively suppressing CO production, showcasing the potential of low-nuclearity metal ensembles in CO2-based methanol synthesis.

Abstract
The efficient and economic conversion of CO2 and renewable H2 into methanol has received intensive attention due to growing concern for anthropogenic CO2 emissions, particularly from fossil fuel combustion. Herein, we have developed a novel method for preparing Ni/In2O3 nanocatalysts by using porous MIL-68(In) and nickel(II) acetylacetonate (Ni(acac)2) as the dual precursors of In2O3 and Ni components, respectively. Combined with in-depth characterization analysis, it was revealed that the utilization of MIL-68(In) as precursors favored the good distribution of Ni nanoparticles (∼6.2 nm) on the porous In2O3 support and inhibited the metal sintering at high temperatures. The varied catalyst fabrication parameters were explored, indicating that the designed Ni/In2O3 catalyst (Ni content of 5 wt %) exhibited better catalytic performance than the compared catalyst prepared using In(OH)3 as a precursor of In2O3. The obtained Ni/In2O3 catalyst also showed excellent durability in long-term tests (120 h). However, a high Ni loading (31 wt %) would result in the formation of the Ni-In alloy phase during the CO2 hydrogenation which favored CO formation with selectivity as high as 69%. This phenomenon is more obvious if Ni and In2O3 had a strong interaction, depending on the catalyst fabrication methods. In addition, with the aid of in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the Ni/In2O3 catalyst predominantly follows the formate pathway in the CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, with HCOO* and *H3CO as the major intermediates, while the small size of Ni particles is beneficial to the formation of formate species based on DFT calculation. This study suggests that the Ni/In2O3 nanocatalyst fabricated using metal-organic frameworks as precursors can effectively promote CO2 thermal hydrogenation to methanol.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are demonstrated to show exceptional reactivity and selectivity in catalytic reactions by effectively utilizing metal species, making them a favorable choice among the different active materials for energy conversion. However, SACs are still in the early stages of energy conversion, and problems like agglomeration and low energy conversion efficiency are hampering their practical applications. Substantial research focus on support modifications, which are vital for SAC reactivity and stability due to the intimate relationship between metal atoms and support. In this review, a category of supports and a variety of surface engineering strategies employed in SA systems are summarized, including surface site engineering (heteroatom doping, vacancy introducing, surface groups grafting, and coordination tunning) and surface structure engineering (size/morphology control, cocatalyst deposition, facet engineering, and crystallinity control). Also, the merits of support surface engineering in single-atom systems are systematically introduced. Highlights are the comprehensive summary and discussions on the utilization of surface-engineered SACs in diversified energy conversion applications including photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, thermocatalysis, and energy conversion devices. At the end of this review, the potential and obstacles of using surface-engineered SACs in the field of energy conversion are discussed. This review aims to guide the rational design and manipulation of SACs for target-specific applications by capitalizing on the characteristic benefits of support surface engineering.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 conversion is a prospective way to mitigate greenhouse effect. In2O3 is widely used in the resource conversion of CO2, but still exists a few drawbacks containing limited CO2 capture and activation, narrow light absorption range, low charge separation and utilization. To overcome these disadvantages, an NH2-UiO-66/Au/In2O3 composite photocatalyst is built, with Au nanoparticles and NH2-UiO-66 decorated on the surface of In2O3 nanorods. Significantly, the improved carrier separation ability is attributed to the Schottky junction at the Au/In2O3 interface and the heterostructure between In2O3 and NH2-UiO-66. And the widened light absorption is attributed to the plasmon effect caused by Au nanoparticles. Moreover, the increase of CO2 adsorption and activation is mainly due to the porosity of NH2-UiO-66, thereby greatly improving photocatalytic CO2RR efficiency of NH2-UiO-66/Au/In2O3 nanorods. The CO yield of NH2-UiO-66/Au/In2O3 is 8.56 μmol g-1 h-1, which is nearly 45 times that of In2O3. This work will present a novel idea to design high-efficient composite photocatalysts for CO2 reduction by multifunctional component synergistic enhancement.

Abstract
In this study, we synthesized multi-nuclear indium oxide clusters (InOCs) using 1,1'-ferrocene dicarboxylic acid (H2FcDCA) as the chelating and surface protection ligand. The obtained clusters include the cubane-type heptanuclear InOCs ([In7]) and the sandwich-type thirteen-nuclear InOCs ([In13]). Notably, [In13] represents the highest nuclear number reported within the InOC family. In addition, the presence of labile coordination sites in these clusters allowed for structural modification and self-assembly. A series of [In7] clusters with adjustable band gaps have been obtained and the self-assembly of [In7] clusters resulted in the formation of an Fe-doped dimer, [Fe2In12], and an imidazole-bridged tetramer, [In28]. Similarly, in the case of [In13] clusters, the coordinated water molecules could be replaced by imidazole, methylimidazole, and even a bridged carboxylic acid, allowing the construction of one-dimensional extended structures. Additionally, part of the H2FcDCA could be substituted by pyrazole. This flexibility in replacing solvent molecules offered diverse possibilities for tailoring the properties and structures of the InOCs to suit specific applications.

Abstract
Cr2 O3 was applied to study the modification of In2 O3 based catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol reaction. Combined with X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), etc., the structure of the catalysts was characterized. The reaction performances for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol were evaluated on a stainless-steel fix-bed reactor. The results showed that solid solutions were formed for the Cr2 O3 promoted In2 O3 catalysts. The important role of electronic interaction between Cr2 O3 and In2 O3 was revealed in the hydrogenation reaction. In1.25 Cr0.75 O3 sample exhibited the highest methanol yield, which was 2.8 times higher than that of pure In2 O3 . No deactivation was observed for In1.25 Cr0.75 O3 sample during the 50 hours of reaction. The improved catalytic performance may be due to the formation of the solid solutions and the highest amount of oxygen vacancies.

Abstract
In2O3 is a promising catalyst for the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol, relevant to renewable energy storage in chemicals. Herein, we investigated the promoting role of Al on In2O3 using flame spray pyrolysis to prepare a series of In2O3-Al2O3 samples in a single step (0-20 mol % Al). Al promoted the methanol yield, with an optimum being observed at an Al content of 5 mol %. Extensive characterization showed that Al can dope into the In2O3 lattice (maximum ∼ 1.2 mol %), leading to the formation of more oxygen vacancies involved in CO2 adsorption and methanol formation. The rest of Al is present as small Al2O3 domains at the In2O3 surface, blocking the active sites for CO2 hydrogenation and contributing to higher CO selectivity. At higher Al content (≥10 mol % Al), the particle size of In2O3 decreases due to the stabilizing effect of Al2O3. Nevertheless, these smaller particles are prone to sintering during CO2 hydrogenation since they appear to be more easily reduced. These findings show subtle effects of a structural promoter such as Al on the reducibility and texture of In2O3 as a CO2 hydrogenation catalyst.

Abstract
Ternary Pd-In2 O3 /ZrO2 catalysts exhibit technological potential for CO2 -based methanol synthesis, but developing scalable systems and comprehending complex dynamic behaviors of the active phase, promoter, and carrier are key for achieving high productivity. Here, we show that the structure of Pd-In2 O3 /ZrO2 systems prepared by wet impregnation evolves under CO2 hydrogenation conditions into a selective and stable architecture, independent of the order of addition of Pd and In phases on the zirconia carrier. Detailed operando characterization and simulations reveal a rapid restructuring driven by the metal-metal oxide interaction energetics. The proximity of InPdx alloy particles decorated by InOx layers in the resulting architecture prevents performance losses associated with Pd sintering. The findings highlight the crucial role of reaction-induced restructuring in complex CO2 hydrogenation catalysts and offer insights into the optimal integration of acid-base and redox functions for practical implementation.

Abstract
The CO2 -to-aromatics process is a chemical reaction that converts carbon dioxide (CO2 ) into valuable petrochemical, i. e., aromatics (especially, benzene, toluene, and xylene) over the metal/zeolite bifunctional catalytic systems. These aromatics are used in producing plastics, fibers, and other industrial products, which are currently exclusively sourced from fossil-derived feedstocks. The significance of this process lies in its potential to mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and simultaneously producing valuable chemicals. Consequently, these CO2 -derived aromatics can reduce the reliance on fossil fuels as a source of feedstocks, which can help to promote a more sustainable and circular economy. Owing to the existence of a wider straight channel favoring the aromatization process, zeolite ZSM-5 is extensively used to yield aromatics during CO2 hydrogenation over bifunctional (metal/zeolite) catalytic systems. To provide a better understanding of this unique property of zeolite ZSM-5, this work investigates the impact of particle size and hierarchy of the zeolite and how these govern the reaction performance and the overall selectivity. As a result, an improved understanding of the zeolite-catalyzed hydrocarbon conversion process has been obtained.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been significant interest in the development of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials with unique physicochemical properties for various energy applications. These properties are often derived from the phase structures established through a range of physical and chemical design strategies. A concrete analysis of the phase structures and real reaction mechanisms of 2D energy nanomaterials requires advanced characterization methods that offer valuable information as much as possible. Here, we present a comprehensive review on the phase engineering of typical 2D nanomaterials with the focus of synchrotron radiation characterizations. In particular, the intrinsic defects, atomic doping, intercalation, and heterogeneous interfaces on 2D nanomaterials are introduced, together with their applications in energy-related fields. Among them, synchrotron-based multiple spectroscopic techniques are emphasized to reveal their intrinsic phases and structures. More importantly, various in situ methods are employed to provide deep insights into their structural evolutions under working conditions or reaction processes of 2D energy nanomaterials. Finally, conclusions and research perspectives on the future outlook for the further development of 2D energy nanomaterials and synchrotron radiation light sources and integrated techniques are discussed.

Abstract
Au-Zn catalysts have previously been shown to promote the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol, but their active state is poorly understood. Here, silica-supported bimetallic Au-Zn alloys, prepared by surface organometallic chemistry (SOMC), are shown to be proficient catalysts for hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol. In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), in conjunction with gas-switching experiments, is used to amplify subtle changes occurring at the surface of this tailored catalyst during reaction. Consequently, an Au-Zn alloy is identified and is shown to undergo subsequent reversible redox changes under reaction conditions according to multivariate curve resolution alternating least-squares (MCR-ALS) analysis. These results highlight the role of alloying and dealloying in Au-based CO2 hydrogenation catalysts and illustrate the role of these reversible processes in driving reactivity.

Abstract
Copper-doped ZnO-ZrO2 solid solution catalysts were synthesized via co-precipitation for promoting CH3OH synthesis via hydrogenation of CO2. Various testing methods were applied to investigate the effect of various copper contents on the catalysts. The catalytic performance was evaluated by a fixed bed reactor. XRD, HRTEM and Raman spectra collectively indicated that a ZnO-ZrO2 solid solution catalyst with 3% Cu had a higher Cu dispersion, while the H2-TPR results confirmed that a catalyst with 3% Cu had more Cu active sites under low temperature H2 pretreatment. When the copper content increased to 5% and 10%, the catalyst showed a better Cu crystallinity and a worse Cu dispersion, which could have a negative effect. Therefore, the CO2 conversion and methanol yield with a 3% CuZnO-ZrO2 catalyst at 5 MPa, 250°C and 12 000 ml/(g h) increased by 8.6% and 7.6%, respectively. Moreover, the CH3OH selectivity and catalytic stability of the solid solution catalyst were better than those of the traditional CZA catalyst.

Abstract
Cu1In2Zr4-O-C catalysts with Cu2In alloy structure were prepared by using the sol-gel method. Cu1In2Zr4-O-PC and Cu1In2Zr4-O-CP catalysts were obtained from plasma-modified Cu1In2Zr4-O-C before and after calcination, respectively. Under the conditions of reaction temperature 270°C, reaction pressure 2 MPa, CO2/H2 = 1/3, and GHSV = 12,000 mL/(g h), Cu1In2Zr4-O-PC catalyst has a high CO2 conversion of 13.3%, methanol selectivity of 74.3%, and CH3OH space-time yield of 3.26 mmol/gcat/h. The characterization results of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and temperature-programmed reduction chemisorption (H2-TPR) showed that the plasma-modified catalyst had a low crystallinity, small particle size, good dispersion, and excellent reduction performance, leading to a better activity and selectivity. Through plasma modification, the strong interaction between Cu and In in Cu1In2Zr4-O-CP catalyst, the shift of Cu 2p orbital binding energy to a lower position, and the decrease in reduction temperature all indicate that the reduction ability of Cu1In2Zr4-O-CP catalyst is enhanced, and the CO2 hydrogenation activity is improved.

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
Porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) with rich metal coordination sites are highly effective support materials for gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), which would not only prevent AuNPs agglomeration but also facilitate mass transfer during the catalytic process. In this work, PAF-160, -161, and -162 bearing diphosphine units are synthesized via the Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction to act as efficient platforms for AuNPs immobilization. These PAFs possess high surface areas (up to 655 m2 g-1) together with excellent stabilities, and the different linkage lengths between P centers allow more scattered and accessible sites for gold coordination. In the resultant Au-PAFs, AuNPs with uniform sizes are stabilized dispersedly. The catalytic performances of these Au-PAFs are monitored by the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), and all materials exhibit excellent catalytic activities on the reduction of 4-NP, especially Au-PAF-162 with the apparent rate constant (kapp) up to 0.019 s-1. Additionally, the reductions of various nitroarenes with different functional groups are explored and all Au-PAFs can convert most nitroaromatic derivatives to the corresponding arylamines with high conversions of 99%, in which the reaction mechanism is also proposed. Furthermore, a continuous catalytic device with Au-PAF-160 catalyst is explored, and Au-PAF-160 can convert 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene, 2,6-dichoronitrobenzene and 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene into the corresponding amines in sequence in the continuous flow catalytic experiments. This work has enriched the variety of porous materials for noble metal immobilization and promotes their applications in heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
Selective CH4 oxidation to CH3OH or HCHO with O2 in H2O under mild conditions provides a desired sustainable pathway for synthesis of commodity chemicals. However, manipulating reaction selectivity while maintaining high productivity remains a huge challenge due to the difficulty in the kinetic control of the formation of a desired oxygenate against its overoxidation. Here, we propose a highly efficient strategy, based on the precise control of the type of as-formed radicals by rational design on photocatalysts, to achieve both high selectivity and high productivity of CH3OH and HCHO in CH4 photooxidation for the first time. Through tuning the band structure and the size of active sites (i.e., single atoms or nanoparticles) in our Au/In2O3 catalyst, we show alternative formation of two important radicals, •OOH and •OH, which leads to distinctly different reaction paths to the formation of CH3OH and HCHO, respectively. This approach gives rise to a remarkable HCHO selectivity and yield of 97.62% and 6.09 mmol g-1 on In2O3-supported Au single atoms (Au1/In2O3) and an exceptional CH3OH selectivity and yield of 89.42% and 5.95 mmol g-1 on In2O3-supported Au nanoparticles (AuNPs/In2O3), respectively, upon photocatalytic CH4 oxidation for 3 h at room temperature. This work opens a new avenue toward efficient and selective CH4 oxidation by delicate design of composite photocatalysts.

Abstract
Direct hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol using green hydrogen has emerged as a promising method for carbon neutrality, but qualifying catalysts represent a grand challenge. In2 O3 /ZrO2 catalyst has been extensively applied in methanol synthesis due to its superior activity; however, the electronic effect by strong oxides-support interactions between In2 O3 and ZrO2 at the In2 O3 /ZrO2 interface is poorly understood. In this work, abundant In2 O3 /ZrO2 heterointerfaces are engineered in a hollow-structured In2 O3 @ZrO2 heterostructure through a facile pyrolysis of a hybrid metal-organic framework precursor MIL-68@UiO-66. Owing to well-defined In2 O3 /ZrO2 heterointerfaces, the resultant In2 O3 @ZrO2 exhibits superior activity and stability toward CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, which can afford a high methanol selectivity of 84.6% at a conversion of 10.4% at 290 °C, and 3.0 MPa with a methanol space-time yield of up to 0.29 gMeOH gcat -1 h-1 . Extensive characterization demonstrates that there is a strong correlation between the strong electronic In2 O3 -ZrO2 interaction and catalytic selectivity. At In2 O3 /ZrO2 heterointerfaces, the electron tends to transfer from ZrO2 to In2 O3 surface, which facilitates H2 dissociation and the hydrogenation of formate (HCOO*) and methoxy (CH3 O*) species to methanol. This study provides an insight into the In2 O3 -based catalysts and offers appealing opportunities for developing heterostructured CO2 hydrogenation catalysts with excellent activity.

Abstract
The catalytic hydrogenation of captured CO2 by different industrial processes allows obtaining liquid biofuels and some chemical products that not only present the interest of being obtained from a very low-cost raw material (CO2) that indeed constitutes an environmental pollution problem but also constitute an energy vector, which can facilitate the storage and transport of very diverse renewable energies. Thus, the combined use of green H2 and captured CO2 to obtain chemical products and biofuels has become attractive for different processes such as power-to-liquids (P2L) and power-to-gas (P2G), which use any renewable power to convert carbon dioxide and water into value-added, synthetic renewable E-fuels and renewable platform molecules, also contributing in an important way to CO2 mitigation. In this regard, there has been an extraordinary increase in the study of supported metal catalysts capable of converting CO2 into synthetic natural gas, according to the Sabatier reaction, or in dimethyl ether, as in power-to-gas processes, as well as in liquid hydrocarbons by the Fischer-Tropsch process, and especially in producing methanol by P2L processes. As a result, the current review aims to provide an overall picture of the most recent research, focusing on the last five years, when research in this field has increased dramatically.

Abstract
In2 O3 has emerged as a promising catalyst for CO2 activation, but a fundamental understanding of its mode of operation in CO2 hydrogenation is still missing, as the application of operando vibrational spectroscopy is challenging due to absorption effects. In this mechanistic study, we systematically address the redox processes related to the reverse water-gas shift reaction (rWGSR) over In2 O3 nanoparticles, both at the surface and in the bulk. Based on temperature-dependent operando UV/Vis spectra and a novel operando impedance approach for thermal powder catalysts, we propose oxidation by CO2 as the rate-determining step for the rWGSR. The results are consistent with redox processes, whereby hydrogen-containing surface species are shown to exhibit a promoting effect. Our findings demonstrate that oxygen/hydrogen dynamics, in addition to surface processes, are important for the activity, which is expected to be of relevance not only for In2 O3 but also for other reducible oxide catalysts.

Abstract
Palladium promotion and deposition on monoclinic zirconia are effective strategies to boost the performance of bulk In2O3 in CO2-to-methanol and could unlock superior reactivity if well integrated into a single catalytic system. However, harnessing synergic effects of the individual components is crucial and very challenging as it requires precise control over their assembly. Herein, we present ternary Pd-In2O3-ZrO2 catalysts prepared by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) with remarkable methanol productivity and improved metal utilization, surpassing their binary counterparts. Unlike established impregnation and co-precipitation methods, FSP produces materials combining low-nuclearity palladium species associated with In2O3 monolayers highly dispersed on the ZrO2 carrier, whose surface partially transforms from a tetragonal into a monoclinic-like structure upon reaction. A pioneering protocol developed to quantify oxygen vacancies using in situ electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy reveals their enhanced generation because of this unique catalyst architecture, thereby rationalizing its high and sustained methanol productivity. Assembling multicomponent catalysts to harness synergic effects is challenging. Now, flame spray pyrolysis permits the synthesis of ternary Pd-In2O3-ZrO2 catalysts with an optimal architecture and an enriched density of oxygen vacancies for maximal performance in CO2-based methanol synthesis.

Abstract
The effect of the ZrO2 content on the performance (activity, selectivity, stability) of In2O3-ZrO2 catalyst has been studied on the hydrogenation of CO2/CO mixtures. This effect is a key feature for the viability of using In2O3-ZrO2/SAPO-34 tandem catalysts for the direct conversion of CO2 and syngas into olefins via oxygenates as intermediates. The interest of co-feeding syngas together with CO2 resides in jointly valorizing syngas derived from biomass or wastes (via gasification) and supplying the required H2. The experiments of methanol synthesis and direct synthesis of olefins, with In2O3-ZrO2 and In2O3-ZrO2/SAPO-34 catalysts, respectively, have been carried out under the appropriate conditions for the direct olefins synthesis (400 °C, 30 bar, H2/COX ratio = 3) in an isothermal fixed bed reactor at low space time values (kinetic conditions) to evaluate the behavior and deactivation of the catalysts. The Zr/In ratio of 1/2 favors the conversion of CO2 and COX, attaining good oxygenates selectivity, and prevents the sintering attributable to the over-reduction of the In2O3 (more significant for syngas feeds). The improvement is more remarkable in the direct olefins synthesis, where the thermodynamic equilibrium of methanol formation is displaced, and methanation suppressed (in a greater extent for feeds with high CO content). With the In2O3-ZrO2/SAPO-34 tandem catalysts, the conversion of COx almost 5 folds respect oxygenates synthesis with In2O3-ZrO2 catalyst, meaning the yield of the target products boosts from ∼0.5% of oxygenates to >3% of olefins (selectivity >70%) for mixtures of CO2/COX of 0.5, where an optimum performance has been obtained.

Abstract
The carbon-neutral synthesis of syngas from CO2 and H2O powered by solar energy holds grand promise for solving critical issues such as global warming and the energy crisis. Here we report photochemical reduction of CO2 with H2O into syngas using core/shell Au@Cr2O3 dual cocatalyst-decorated multistacked InGaN/GaN nanowires (NWs) with sunlight as the only energy input. First-principle density functional theory calculations revealed that Au and Cr2O3 are synergetic in deforming the linear CO2 molecule to a bent state with an O-C-O angle of 116.5°, thus significantly reducing the energy barrier of CO2RR compared with that over a single component of Au or Cr2O3. Hydrogen evolution reaction was promoted by the same cocatalyst simultaneously. By combining the cooperative catalytic properties of Au@Cr2O3 with the distinguished optoelectronic virtues of the multistacked InGaN NW semiconductor, the developed photocatalyst demonstrated high syngas activity of 1.08 mol/gcat/h with widely tunable H2/CO ratios between 1.6 and 9.2 under concentrated solar light illumination. Nearly stoichiometric oxygen was evolved from water splitting at a rate of 0.57 mol/gcat/h, and isotopic testing confirmed that syngas originated from CO2RR. The solar-to-syngas energy efficiency approached 0.89% during overall CO2 reduction coupled with water splitting. The work paves a way for carbon-neutral synthesis of syngas with the sole inputs of CO2, H2O, and solar light.

Abstract
High-efficiency utilization of CO2 facilitates the reduction of CO2 concentration in the global atmosphere and hence the alleviation of the greenhouse effect. The catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to produce value-added chemicals exhibits attractive prospects by potentially building energy recycling loops. Particularly, methanol is one of the practically important objective products, and the catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to synthesize methanol has been extensively studied. In this review, we focus on some basic concepts on CO2 activation, the recent research advances in the catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol, the development of high-performance catalysts, and microscopic insight into the reaction mechanisms. Finally, some thinking on the present research and possible future trend is presented.

Abstract
Au nanoparticles supported on ZrO2 enhance its surface acidic/basic properties to produce a high yield of methanol via the hydrogenation of CO2. Amorphous ZrO2-supported 0.5–1 wt.% Au catalysts were synthesized by two methods, namely deposition precipitation (DP) and impregnation (IMP), characterized by a variety of techniques, and evaluated in the process of CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. The DP-method catalysts were highly advantageous over the IMP-method catalyst. The DP method delivered samples with a large surface area, along with the control of the Au particle size. The strength and number of acidic and basic sites was enhanced on the catalyst surface. These surface changes attributed to the DP method greatly improved the catalytic activity when compared to the IMP method. The variations in the surface sites due to different preparation methods exhibited a huge impact on the formation of important intermediates (formate, dioxymethylene and methoxy) and their rapid hydrogenation to methanol via the formate route, as revealed by means of in situ DRIFTS (diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy) analysis. Finally, the rate of formation of methanol was enhanced by the increased synergy between the metal and the support.

Abstract
The production of acetic acid and acetone from the direct coupling of CO2 and CH4 on the doped In2 O3 (110) surface has been studied by extensive first-principles calculations, and the Ga or Al substitution for the single In atom at the active oxygen vacancy of In2 O3 (110) can stabilize the reaction species and reduce the free energy barrier of the rate-limiting C-H activation for the conversion of CO2 and CH4 to acetic acid. Herein, the metal doping lowers the energy level of partially empty s and p orbitals of In1 at the oxygen vacancy site and manipulates its electronic properties, resulting in the activity improvement. The stable intermediate with the newly-formed CH3 COO* has the available In1 site for subsequent CH4 activation, which may initiate the direct C-C coupling of CH3 COO* and CH3 * to yield C3 species on the doped In2 O3 (110). These findings suggest that the metal doping of the active oxygen vacancy opens an avenue for the carbon-chain growth through heterogeneously catalytic coupling of CO2 and CH4 .
