Abstract
Light-driven carboxylation offers a promising approach for synthesizing valuable fine chemicals under mild conditions. Here we disclose a heterogeneous photocatalytic strategy of C(sp2)-H activation of formate for hydrocarboxylation of alkenes over zinc indium sulfide (ZnIn2S4) under visible light. This protocol functions well with a variety of substituted styrenes with good to excellent yields; it also works for unactivated alkenes albeit with lower yields. Mechanistic studies confirm the existence of CO2⋅- as a key intermediate. It was found that C(sp2)-H activation of formate is induced by S⋅ species on the surface of ZnIn2S4 via hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) instead of a photogenerated hole oxidation mechanism. Moreover, both cleavage of the C(sp2)-H of HCOO- and formation of a benzylic anion were found to be involved in the rate-determining step for the hydrocarboxylation of styrene.

Abstract
In the context of catalytic CO2 reduction (CO2RR), the interference of the inherent hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the possible selectivity towards CO have posed a significant challenge to the generation of formic acid. To address this hurdle, in this work, we have investigated the impact of different single-atom metal catalysts on tuning selectivity by employing density functional theory (DFT) calculations to scrutinize the reaction pathways. Single-atom catalysts supported on carbon-based systems have proven to be pivotal in altering both the activity and selectivity of the CO2RR. In this study, a series of single-atom-metal-loaded g-C3N4 monolayers (MCN, M = Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Cd, In, Sn, Pb, Ag, Au, Bi, Pd and Pt) were systematically examined. Through detailed DFT calculations, we explored their influence on reaction selectivity between the *COOH and *OCHO intermediates. Notably, NiCN favors the reaction via the *OCHO route, with a significantly lower rate-determining potential of 0.36 eV, which is approximately 73.5% lower than that of the CN system (1.36 eV). Most importantly, the Ni single-atom catalyst with lower coordination significantly enhances CO2 adsorption, promoting CO2RR over HER. Overall, this study, guided by DFT calculations, provides a theoretical prediction of how the selection of single-atom metal catalysts can effectively modulate the reaction pathway, thereby offering a potential solution for achieving high product selectivity in CO2RR.

Abstract
The massive burning of fossil fuels has been important for economic and social development, but the increase in the CO2 concentration has seriously affected environmental sustainability. In industrial and agricultural production, light olefins are one of the most important feedstocks. Therefore, the preparation of light olefins by CO2 hydrogenation has been intensively studied, especially for the development of efficient catalysts and for the application in industrial production. Fe-based catalysts are widely used in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis due to their high stability and activity, and they also exhibit excellent catalytic CO2 hydrogenation to light olefins. This paper systematically summarizes and analyzes the reaction mechanism of Fe-based catalysts, alkali and transition metal modifications, interactions between active sites and carriers, the synthesis process, and the effect of the byproduct H2O on catalyst performance. Meanwhile, the challenges to the development of CO2 hydrogenation for light olefin synthesis are presented, and future development opportunities are envisioned.

Abstract
To improve the utilization of byproduct gases in the steel plant, the coke oven gas (COG) methanation combined with blast furnace gas (BFG) and basic oxygen furnace gas (BOFG) was proposed in viewpoint of economy and environment. The optimization mathematics model based on Gibbs free energy minimization was established to predict the thermodynamic feasibility of the proposed methanation. To solve the proposed model, the convenient method was implemented by using the Gibbs module in Aspen Plus software. Effects of operation parameters on the methanation performance were revealed to identify the optimized conditions. To reduce the solid carbon concentration, it was found that the optimized conditions of temperature, pressure and stoichiometric number were 650 °C, 30 bar and 3.0, respectively. Moreover, it was discovered that 10 mol% of BFG or BOFG could be mixed into COG to obtain the maximum methane yield. In addition, it was testified that there were the good agreements between calculated results and industrial and published data, which indicated that the proposed methanation was thermodynamically feasible. Therefore, the simple and easy method was developed to evaluate the methanation operating conditions from the aspect of thermodynamic equilibrium, which provided the basic process conditions of byproduct gases methanation to enhance the steel plant efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.

Abstract
Hydrogenation reactions play a critical role in the synthesis of value-added products within the chemical industry. Electrocatalytic hydrogenation (ECH) using water as the hydrogen source has emerged as an alternative to conventional thermocatalytic processes for sustainable and decentralized chemical synthesis under mild conditions. Among the various ECH catalysts, copper-based (Cu-based) nanomaterials are promising candidates due to their earth-abundance, unique electronic structure, versatility, and high activity/selectivity. Herein, recent advances in the application of Cu-based catalysts in ECH reactions for the upgrading of valuable chemicals are systematically analyzed. The unique properties of Cu-based catalysts in ECH are initially introduced, followed by design strategies to enhance their activity and selectivity. Then, typical ECH reactions on Cu-based catalysts are presented in detail, including carbon dioxide reduction for multicarbon generation, alkyne-to-alkene conversion, selective aldehyde conversion, ammonia production from nitrogen-containing substances, and amine production from organic nitrogen compounds. In these catalysts, the role of catalyst composition and nanostructures toward different products is focused. The co-hydrogenation of two substrates (e.g., CO2 and NOx n, SO3 2-, etc.) via C─N, C─S, and C─C cross-coupling reactions are also highlighted. Finally, the critical issues and future perspectives of Cu-catalyzed ECH are proposed to accelerate the rational development of next-generation catalysts.

Abstract
During the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol over mixed-oxide catalysts, the strong adsorption of CO2 and formate poses a barrier for H2 dissociation, limiting methanol selectivity and productivity. Here we show that by using Co-containing dual-atom oxide catalysts, the poisoning effect can be countered by separating the site for H2 dissociation and the adsorption of intermediates. We synthesized a Co- and In-doped ZrO2 catalyst (Co-In-ZrO2) containing atomically dispersed Co and In species. Catalyst characterization showed that Co and In atoms were atomically dispersed and were in proximity to each other owing to a random distribution. During the CO2 hydrogenation reaction, the Co atom was responsible for the adsorption of CO2 and formate species, while the nearby In atoms promoted the hydrogenation of adsorbed intermediates. The cooperative effect increased the methanol selectivity to 86% over the dual-atom catalyst, and methanol productivity increased 2-fold in comparison to single-atom catalysts. This cooperative effect was extended to Co-Zn and Co-Ga doped ZrO2 catalysts. This work presents a different approach to designing mixed-oxide catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation based on the preferential adsorption of substrates and intermediates instead of promoting H2 dissociation to mitigate the poisonous effects of substrates and intermediates.

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 reduction can convert CO2 to value-added chemicals, but its selectivity toward C3+ products are very limited. One possible solution is to run the reactions in hybrid processes by coupling electrocatalysis with other catalytic routes. In this contribution, we report the cascade electrocatalytic and thermocatalytic reduction of CO2 to propionaldehyde. Using Cu(OH)2 nanowires as the precatalyst, CO2 /H2 O is reduced to concentrated C2 H4 , CO, and H2 gases in a zero-gap membrane electrode assembly (MEA) reactor. The thermochemical hydroformylation reaction is separately investigated with a series of rhodium-phosphine complexes. The best candidate is identified to be the one with the 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane diphosphine ligand, which exhibits a propionaldehyde turnover number of 1148 under a mild temperature and close-to-atmospheric pressure. By coupling and optimizing the upstream CO2 electroreduction and downstream hydroformylation reaction, we achieve a propionaldehyde selectivity of ~38 % and a total C3 oxygenate selectivity of 44 % based on reduced CO2 . These values represent a more than seven times improvement over the best prior electrochemical system alone or over two times improvement over other hybrid systems.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction to generate high value-added and renewable chemicals is of great potential in facilitating the realization of closed-loop and carbon-neutral hydrogen economy. Stabilizing and accelerating the formation of COCO* intermediate is crucial to achieve high-selectivity ethane production. Herein, a novel 3D/2D NiSe2/g-C3N4 heterostructure that mesoscale hedgehog nickel selenide (NiSe2) grown on the ultrathin g-C3N4 nanosheets were synthesized via a successively high temperature calcination process and in-situ thermal injection method for the first time. The optimum 2.7 % NiSe2/g-C3N4 heterostructure achieved moderate C2H6 generation rate of 46.1 μmol·g-1·h-1 and selectivity of 97.5 % without any additional photosensitizers and sacrificial agents under light illumination. Based on the results of the theoretical calculations and experiments, the improvement of photocatalytic CO2 to C2H6 production and selectivity should be ascribed to the increased visible light absorption ability, unique 3D/2D heterostructures with promoted adsorption of CO2 molecules on the Ni active sites, the type II heterojunction with improved charge transfer dynamics and lowered interfacial transfer resistance, as well as the formation of COCO* key intermediate. This work provides an inspiration to construct efficient photocatalysts for the direct transformation of CO2 to multicarbon products (C2+).

Abstract
Amid growing concerns about climate change and energy sustainability, the need to create potent catalysts for the sequestration and conversion of CO2 to value-added chemicals is more critical than ever. This work describes the successful synthesis and profound potential of high-performance nanofiber catalysts, integrating earth-abundant iron (Fe) and cobalt (Co) as well as their alloy counterpart, FeCo, achieved through electrospinning and judicious thermal treatments. Systematic characterization using an array of advanced techniques, including SEM, TGA-DSC, ICP-MS, XRF, EDS, FTIR-ATR, XRD, and Raman spectroscopy, confirmed the integration and homogeneous distribution of Fe/Co elements in nanofibers and provided insights into their catalytic nuance. Impressively, the bimetallic FeCo nanofiber catalyst, thermally treated at 1050 °C, set a benchmark with an unparalleled CO2 conversion rate of 46.47% at atmospheric pressure and a consistent performance over a 55 h testing period at 500 °C. Additionally, this catalyst exhibited prowess in producing high-value hydrocarbons, comprising 8.01% of total products and a significant 31.37% of C2+ species. Our work offers a comprehensive and layered understanding of nanofiber catalysts, delving into their transformations, compositions, and structures under different calcination temperatures. The central themes of metal-carbon interactions, the potential advantages of bimetallic synergies, and the importance of structural defects all converge to define the catalytic performance of these nanofibers. These revelations not only deepen our understanding but also set the stage for future endeavors in designing advanced nanofiber catalysts with bespoke properties tailored for specific applications.

Abstract
Using a reactive molecular beam with high kinetic energy (Ekin), it is possible to speed gas-surface reactions involving high activation barriers (Eact), which would require elevated pressures (P0) if a random gas with a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution is used. By simply computing the number of molecules that overcome the activation barrier in a random gas at P0 and in a molecular beam at Ekin = Eact, we establish an Ekin-P0 equivalence curve, through which we postulate that molecular beams are ideal tools to investigate gas-surface reactions that involve high activation energies. In particular, we foresee the use of molecular beams to simulate gas surface reactions within the industrial-range (>10 bar) using surface-sensitive ultra-high vacuum (UHV) techniques, such as X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS). To test this idea, we revisit the oxidation of the Cu(111) surface combining O2 molecular beams and XPS experiments. By tuning the kinetic energy of the O2 beam in the range of 0.24-1 eV, we achieve the same sequence of surface oxides obtained in ambient pressure photoemission (AP-XPS) experiments, in which the Cu(111) surface was exposed to a random O2 gas up to 1 mbar. We observe the same surface oxidation kinetics as in the random gas, but with a much lower dose, close to the expected value derived from the equivalence curve.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic and thermocatalytic CO2 conversions provide promising routes to realize global carbon neutrality, and the development of corresponding advanced catalysts is important but challenging. Hollow-structured carbon (HSC) materials with striking features, including unique cavity structure, good permeability, large surface area, and readily functionalizable surface, are flexible platforms for designing high-performance catalysts. In this review, the topics range from the accurate design of HSC materials to specific electrocatalytic and thermocatalytic CO2 conversion applications, aiming to address the drawbacks of conventional catalysts, such as sluggish reaction kinetics, inadequate selectivity, and poor stability. Firstly, the synthetic methods of HSC, including the hard template route, soft template approach, and self-template strategy are summarized, with an evaluation of their characteristics and applicability. Subsequently, the functionalization strategies (nonmetal doping, metal single-atom anchoring, and metal nanoparticle modification) for HSC are comprehensively discussed. Lastly, the recent achievements of intriguing HSC-based materials in electrocatalytic and thermocatalytic CO2 conversion applications are presented, with a particular focus on revealing the relationship between catalyst structure and activity. We anticipate that the review can provide some ideas for designing highly active and durable catalytic systems for CO2 valorization and beyond.

Abstract
CO2, a byproduct from various industrial reactions, must not be released into the atmosphere and should be managed through capture, conversion, and utilization. The first step in converting CO2 into valuable products is to break the C-O bond. This work focuses on designing Single Atom Catalysts (SACs) by doping Cu(211) surface with 13 different s, p, and d block elements with an aim to minimize the activation barrier for C-O bond cleavage. Our work demonstrates that SACs of Mg/Al/Pt@Cu(211) favor CO2 chemisorption compared to Cu(211) where CO2 physisorbs. The barrier for CO2 dissociation is lowest for Mg@Cu(211) and it increases in the order Mg@Cu(211) < Al@Cu(211) < Pt@Cu(211) < Zn@Cu(211) < Ga@Cu(211) < Cu@Cu(211) < Pd@Cu(211). These findings suggest that doping Cu(211) with earth-abundant metal like Mg can potentially be a viable catalyst for CO2 conversion, providing a promising solution to reduce carbon footprint and mitigate climate change.

Abstract
Manganese(I) carbonyl complexes bearing a MACHO-type ligand (HN(CH2 CH2 PR2 )2 ) readily react in their amido form with CO2 to generate 4-membered {Mn-N-C-O} metallacycles. The stability of the adducts decreases with the steric demand of the R groups at phosphorous (R=isopropyl>adamantyl). The CO2 -adducts display generally a lower reactivity as compared to the parent amido complexes. These adducts can thus be interpretated as masked forms of the active amido catalysts and potentially play important roles as off-loop species or branching points in catalytic transformations of carbon dioxide.

Abstract
Infrared light driven photocatalytic reduction of atmospheric CO2 is challenging due to the ultralow concentration of CO2 (0.04 %) and the low energy of infrared light. Herein, we develop a metallic nickel-based metal-organic framework loaded with Pt (Pt/Ni-MOF), which shows excellent activity for thermal-photocatalytic conversion of atmospheric CO2 with H2 even under infrared light irradiation. The open Ni sites are beneficial to capture and activate atmospheric CO2 , while the photogenerated electrons dominate H2 dissociation on the Pt sites. Simultaneously, thermal energy results in spilling of the dissociated H2 to Ni sites, where the adsorbed CO2 is thermally reduced to CO and CH4 . The synergistic interplay of dual-active-sites renders Pt/Ni-MOF a record efficiency of 9.57 % at 940 nm for converting atmospheric CO2 , enables the procurement of CO2 to be independent of the emission sources, and improves the energy efficiency for trace CO2 conversion by eliminating the capture media regeneration and molecular CO2 release.

Abstract
CO2 hydrogenation via the reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction is a promising strategy for CO2 utilization while constructing Ni-based catalysts with high catalytic activity and perfect CO selectivity remains a great challenging. Here, we demonstrate that the product selectivity for CO2 hydrogenation can be significantly tuned from CH4 to CO by phosphating of SiO2-supported Ni catalysts due to the geometric effect. Interestingly, nickel phosphide catalysts with different crystalline phases (Ni12P5 and Ni2P) differ sharply in CO2 conversion, and Ni12P5 is remarkably more active. Furthermore, we developed a facile strategy to confine small Ni12P5 nanoparticles in mesoporous SiO2 channels (Ni12P5@SBA-15). Enhanced activity is exhibited on Ni12P5@SBA-15, ascribed to the highly effective confinement effect. The in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations unveil that catalytic CO2 hydrogenation follows a direct CO2 dissociation route with adsorbed CO as the key intermediate. Notably, strong multibonded CO (threefold and bridge-bonded CO) is feasibly formed on the Ni catalyst accounting for CH4 as the dominant product whereas only weak linearly bonded CO exists on nickel phosphide catalysts resulting in almost 100% CO selectivity. The present results indicate that Ni12P5@SBA-15 combining the geometric effect and the confinement effect can achieve near-unity CO selectivity and enhanced activity for CO2 hydrogenation.

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
Operando soft and hard X-ray spectroscopic techniques were used in combination with plane-wave density functional theory (DFT) simulations to rationalize the enhanced activities of Zn-containing Cu nanostructured electrocatalysts in the electrocatalytic CO2 hydrogenation reaction. We show that at a potential for CO2 hydrogenation, Zn is alloyed with Cu in the bulk of the nanoparticles with no metallic Zn segregated; at the interface, low reducible Cu(I)-O species are consumed. Additional spectroscopic features are observed, which are identified as various surface Cu(I) ligated species; these respond to the potential, revealing characteristic interfacial dynamics. Similar behavior was observed for the Fe-Cu system in its active state, confirming the general validity of this mechanism; however, the performance of this system deteriorates after successive applied cathodic potentials, as the hydrogen evolution reaction then becomes the main reaction pathway. In contrast to an active system, Cu(I)-O is now consumed at cathodic potentials and not reversibly reformed when the voltage is allowed to equilibrate at the open-circuit voltage; rather, only the oxidation to Cu(II) is observed. We show that the Cu-Zn system represents the optimal active ensembles with stabilized Cu(I)-O; DFT simulations rationalize this observation by indicating that Cu-Zn-O neighboring atoms are able to activate CO2, whereas Cu-Cu sites provide the supply of H atoms for the hydrogenation reaction. Our results demonstrate an electronic effect exerted by the heterometal, which depends on its intimate distribution within the Cu phase and confirms the general validity of these mechanistic insights for future electrocatalyst design strategies.

Abstract
Increasing levels of CO2 in the atmosphere is a problem that must be urgently resolved if the rise in current global temperatures is to be slowed. Chemically reducing CO2 into compounds that are useful as energy sources and carbon-based materials could be helpful in this regard. However, for the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) to be operational on a global scale, the catalyst system must: use only renewable energy, be built from abundantly available elements and not require high-energy reactants. Although light is an attractive renewable energy source, most existing CO2RR methods use electricity and many of the catalysts used are based on rare heavy metals. Here we present a transition-metal-free catalyst system that uses an organohydride catalyst based on benzimidazoline for the CO2RR that can be regenerated using a carbazole photosensitizer and visible light. The system is capable of producing formate with a turnover number exceeding 8,000 and generates no other reduced products (such as H2 and CO).

Abstract
Formic acid has recently been revealed to be an excellent hydrogen carrier, and interest in the development of efficient and selective catalysts towards its dehydrogenation has grown. This reaction has been widely explored using homogeneous catalysts; however, from a practical and scalable point of view, heterogeneous catalysts are usually preferred in industry. In this work, formic acid dehydrogenation reactions in both liquid- and vapor-phase conditions have been investigated using heterogeneous catalysts based on mono- or bimetallic Pd/Ru. In all of the explored conditions, the catalysts showed good catalytic activity and selectivity towards the dehydrogenation reaction, avoiding the formation of undesired CO.

Abstract
Bioconversion of sustainable feedstocks to commodity chemicals is considered as an effective solution for transforming the fossil-based economy into a carbon-neutral model. Here, the CO2-fixing bacterium Cupriavidus necator H16 was exploited for myo-inositol production from renewable substrates. First, by introducing the glucose transportation system, the glucose consumption route was established. Second, two key enzymes involved in myo-inositol biosynthesis were screened and evaluated. A myo-inositol-producing strain was constructed via overexpression of myo-inositol-3-phosphate synthase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and inositol monophosphatase from Escherichia coli. Finally, carbon flux redirection was achieved through disruption of Entner-Doudoroff pathway and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) synthesis pathway, resulting in a final myo-inositol production of 520.2, 1076.3 and 1054.8 mg/L from glucose, glycerol and CO2, respectively. The myo-inositol production level from CO2 achieved here set up the record. This study underlines the potential of C. necator to be utilized as microbial factory for upcycling the renewable feedstocks and CO2 to high-value biochemicals.

Abstract
For very small nanocluster-based catalysts, the exploration of the influence of the particle size, composition, and support offers precisely variable parameters in a wide material search space to control catalysts' performance. We present the mechanism of the CO2 methanation reaction on the oxidized bimetallic Cu3Pd tetramer (Cu3PdO2) supported on a zirconia model support represented by Zr12O24 based on the energy profile obtained from density functional theory calculations on the reaction of CO2 and H2. In order to determine the role of the Pd atom, the performance of Cu3PdO2 with monometallic Cu4O2 at the same support has been compared. Parallel to methane formation, the alternative path of methanol formation at this catalyst has also been investigated. The results show that the exchange of a single atom in Cu4 with a single Pd atom improves catalyst/s performance via lowering the barriers associated with hydrogen dissociation steps that occur on the Pd atom. The above-mentioned results suggest that the doping strategy at the level of single atoms can offer a precise control knob for designing new catalysts with desired performance.

Abstract
The activation and conversion of the CO2 molecule have always been the most vexing challenge due to its chemical inertness. Developing highly active catalysts, which could overcome dynamic limitations, has emerged as a provable and effective method to promote CO2 activation–conversion. Herein, ETS-10 zeolite–based catalysts, with active nickel species introduced by in situ doping and impregnation, have been employed for CO2 methanation. Conspicuous CO2 conversion (39.7%) and perfect CH4 selectivity (100%) were achieved over the Ni-doped ETS-10 zeolite catalyst at 280°C. Comprehensive analysis, which include X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption–desorption, SEM, TEM, H2 chemisorption, CO2 temperature programmed desorption, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, was performed. Also, the results indicated that the resultant hierarchical structure, high metal dispersion, and excellent CO2 adsorption–activation capacity of the Ni-doped ETS-10 zeolite catalyst played a dominant role in promoting CO2 conversion and product selectivity.

Abstract
Inducing amorphous components into Al2O3 leads to elongation of the Al-O bond and the formation of oxygen vacancies, which makes Al2O3 an independent photocatalyst for CO2 adsorption and reduction. The generation rate of CO can reach 36.5 μmol g-1 h-1, which is 6.5 times that of P25 TiO2.

Abstract
Given the continuous and excessive CO2 emission into the atmosphere from anthropomorphic activities, there is now a growing demand for negative carbon emission technologies, which requires efficient capture and conversion of CO2 to value-added chemicals. This review highlights recent advances in CO2 capture and conversion chemistry and processes. It first summarizes various adsorbent materials that have been developed for CO2 capture, including hydroxide-, amine-, and metal organic framework-based adsorbents. It then reviews recent efforts devoted to two types of CO2 conversion reaction: thermochemical CO2 hydrogenation and electrochemical CO2 reduction. While thermal hydrogenation reactions are often accomplished in the presence of H2, electrochemical reactions are realized by direct use of electricity that can be renewably generated from solar and wind power. The key to the success of these reactions is to develop efficient catalysts and to rationally engineer the catalyst-electrolyte interfaces. The review further covers recent studies in integrating CO2 capture and conversion processes so that energy efficiency for the overall CO2 capture and conversion can be optimized. Lastly, the review briefs some new approaches and future directions of coupling direct air capture and CO2 conversion technologies as solutions to negative carbon emission and energy sustainability.

Abstract
It is of emerging interest to convert CO2 and green H2 into solar fuels with great efficiency through photothermal CO2 hydrogenation. However, designing photothermal catalysts with improved sunlight harvesting ability, intrinsic catalytic activity, and thermal management to prevent heat dissipation still remains rather challenging. Herein, we report a facile structural engineering strategy for preparing efficient nanoarray-based photothermal catalysts with strong light absorption ability, high metal dispersity, and effective thermal management. Optimizing the 120 μm-SiNCs@Co catalyst allowed it to reach a record high Co-based photothermal CO2 conversion rate of 1780 mmol gCo-1 h-1. This study provides insight into the structural engineering of photothermal catalysts for enhanced catalytic performance and lays a foundation for efficient photothermal CO2 catalysis.

Abstract
Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is regarded as a promising potent photoelectrocatalyst for CO2 reduction. Here, extensive first-principles calculations and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations are performed to systematically explore the structural and electronic properties of nonprecious metal single-atom-embedded graphitic s-triazine-based C3N4 (M@gt-C3N4, M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Mo) monolayer materials and their catalytic performances as the single-atom catalysts (SACs) for CO2 hydrogenation to HCOOH, CO, and CH3OH. It is found that the atomically dispersed non-noble metal Mn, Fe, Co, and Mo sites anchored on gt-C3N4 can efficiently activate both H2 and CO2, and their coadsorbed state serves as a precursor to the hydrogenation of CO2 to different C1 products. Among these SACs (M@gt-C3N4, M = Mn, Fe, Co, and Mo), Co@gt-C3N4 was predicted to have the best catalytic performance for CO2 hydrogenation to C1 products, although their mechanistic details are somewhat different. The predicted energy barriers of the rate-determining steps for the conversion of CO2 into HCOOH, CO, and CH3OH on Co@gt-C3N4 are 0.58, 0.67, and 1.19 eV, respectively. The desorption of products is generally energy-demanding, but it can be facilitated remarkably by the subsequent adsorption of H2, which regenerates M@gt-C3N4 for the next catalytic cycle. The present study demonstrates that the catalytic performance of gt-C3N4 can be well regulated by embedding the non-noble metal single atom, and the porous gt-C3N4 is nicely suited for the construction of high-performance single-atom catalysts.

Abstract
Hydrogenation of CO2 to value-added chemicals and fuels not only effectively alleviates climate change but also reduces over-dependence on fossil fuels. Therefore, much attention has been paid to the chemical conversion of CO2 to value-added products, such as liquid fuels and aromatics. Recently, efficient catalysts have been developed to face the challenge of the chemical inertness of CO2 and the difficulty of C–C coupling. Considering the lack of a detailed summary on hydrogenation of CO2 to liquid fuels and aromatics via the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) route, we conducted a comprehensive and systematic review of the research progress on the development of efficient catalysts for hydrogenation of CO2 to liquid fuels and aromatics. In this work, we summarized the factors influencing the catalytic activity and stability of various catalysts, the strategies for optimizing catalytic performance and product distribution, the effects of reaction conditions on catalytic performance, and possible reaction mechanisms for CO2 hydrogenation via the FTS route. Furthermore, we also provided an overview of the challenges and opportunities for future research associated with hydrogenation of CO2 to liquid fuels and aromatics.

Recent Advances on CO2 Mitigation Technologies: On the Role of Hydrogenation Route via Green H2. ENERGIES 2022.

Abstract
The increasing trend in global energy demand has led to an extensive use of fossil fuels and subsequently in a marked increase in atmospheric CO2 content, which is the main culprit for the greenhouse effect. In order to successfully reverse this trend, many schemes for CO2 mitigation have been proposed, taking into consideration that large-scale decarbonization is still infeasible. At the same time, the projected increase in the share of variable renewables in the future energy mix will necessitate large-scale curtailment of excess energy. Collectively, the above crucial problems can be addressed by the general scheme of CO2 hydrogenation. This refers to the conversion of both captured CO2 and green H2 produced by RES-powered water electrolysis for the production of added-value chemicals and fuels, which are a great alternative to CO2 sequestration and the use of green H2 as a standalone fuel. Indeed, direct utilization of both CO2 and H2 via CO2 hydrogenation offers, on the one hand, the advantage of CO2 valorization instead of its permanent storage, and the direct transformation of otherwise curtailed excess electricity to stable and reliable carriers such as methane and methanol on the other, thereby bypassing the inherent complexities associated with the transformation towards a H2-based economy. In light of the above, herein an overview of the two main CO2 abatement schemes, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU), is firstly presented, focusing on the route of CO2 hydrogenation by green electrolytic hydrogen. Next, the integration of large-scale RES-based H2 production with CO2 capture units on-site industrial point sources for the production of added-value chemicals and energy carriers is contextualized and highlighted. In this regard, a specific reference is made to the so-called Power-to-X schemes, exemplified by the production of synthetic natural gas via the Power-to-Gas route. Lastly, several outlooks towards the future of CO2 hydrogenation are presented.

Detailed Kinetic Modeling of CO2-Based Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis. Catalysts 2022.

Abstract
The direct hydrogenation of CO2 to long-chain hydrocarbons, so called CO2-based Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS), is a viable future production route for various hydrocarbons used in the chemical industry or fuel applications. The detailed modeling of the reactant consumption and product distribution is very important for further process improvements but has gained only limited attention so far. We adapted proven modeling approaches from the traditional FTS and developed a detailed kinetic model for the CO2-FTS based on experiments with an Fe based catalyst in a lab-scale tubular reactor. The model is based on a direct CO2 dissociation mechanism for the reverse water gas shift and the alkyl mechanism with an H-assisted CO dissociation step for the FTS. The model is able to predict the reactant consumption, as well as the hydrocarbon distribution, reliably within the experimental range studied (10 bar, 280–320 °C, 900–120,000 mLN h−1 g−1 and H2/CO2 molar inlet ratios of 2–4) and demonstrates the applicability of traditional FTS models for the CO2-based synthesis. Peculiarities of the fractions of individual hydrocarbon classes (1-alkenes, n-alkanes, and iso-alkenes) are accounted for with chain-length-dependent kinetic parameters for branching and dissociative desorption. However, the reliable modeling of class fractions for high carbon number products (>C12) remains a challenge not only from a modeling perspective but also from product collection and analysis.

Abstract
Converting CO2 into value-added chemicals through hydrogenation can optimize the energy structure dominated by fossil energy, effectively alleviate environmental problems, and achieve full utilization of carbon resources. However, the traditional CO2 hydrogenation reactions need to be carried out under high temperature and pressure, causing inevitable secondary pollution to the environment. A fundamental way to solve these problems is to use clean solar energy to convert CO2 into value-added chemicals and to establish an artificial carbon cycle process. In this Perspective, we highlight recent advances in photodriven CO2 conversion, including the reverse water-gas-shift reaction, methanation reaction, methanol synthesis reaction, and C2+ hydrocarbon synthesis reaction. Finally, we also discuss the challenges and future investigation opportunities for modulating the selective conversion of CO2. This Perspective offers guidance for the design of photodriven CO2 conversion or even the entire C1 catalyst chemistry for tuning product selectivity and activity.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide is a renewable, inexhaustible, and cheap alternative to fossil resources for the production of fine chemicals and plastics. It can notably be converted into exovinylene cyclic carbonates, unique synthons gaining momentum for the preparation of an impressive range of important organic molecules and functional polymers, in reactions proceeding with 100 % atom economy under mild operating conditions in most cases. This Review summarizes the recent advances in their synthesis with particular attention on describing the catalysts needed for their preparation and discussing the unique reactivity of these CO2 -based heterocycles for the construction of diverse organic building blocks and (functional) polymers. We also discuss the challenges and the future perspectives in the field.
