Abstract
Photo-thermal co-catalytic reduction of CO2 to synthesize value-added chemicals presents a promising approach to addressing environmental issues. Nevertheless, traditional catalysts exhibit low light utilization efficiency, leading to the generation of a reduced number of electron-hole pairs and rapid recombination, thereby limiting catalytic performance enhancement. Herein, a Mott-Schottky heterojunction catalyst was developed by incorporating nitrogen-doped carbon coated TiO2 supported nickel (Ni) nanometallic particles (Ni/x-TiO2@NC). The optimal Ni/0.5-TiO2@NC sample displayed a conversion rate of 71.6 % and a methane (CH4) production rate of 65.3 mmol/(gcat·h) during photo-thermal co-catalytic CO2 methanation under full-spectrum illumination, with a CH4 selectivity exceeding 99.6 %. The catalyst demonstrates good stability as it shows no decay after two reaction cycles. The Mott-Schottky heterojunction catalysts display excellent efficiency in separating photo-generated electron-hole pairs and elevate the catalysts' temperature, thus accelerating the reaction rate. The in-situ experiments revealed that light-induced electron transfer effectively facilitates H2 dissociation and enhances surface defects, thereby promoting CO2 adsorption. This study introduces a novel approach for developing photo-thermal catalysts for CO2 reduction, aiming to enhance solar energy utilization and facilitate interface electron transfer.

Abstract
Aiming at a comprehensive understanding of support effects on Ni-based bimetallic catalyst for CO2 hydrogenation, spectroscopy (DRIFTS) with CO as a probe molecule and temperature-programmed techniques were used to investigate the impact of different supports (MgO, CeO2, ZrO2) on Ni- and Ni,Fe catalysts. Kinetic parameters revealed that the higher selectivity to methanation for Ni and Ni,Fe supported on the reducible oxides (CeO2, ZrO2) is due to the inhibition of reverse water-gas shift reaction (RWGS) by hydrogen. A promoting effect of Fe on Ni was only observed on MgO-supported catalysts. In situ DRIFTS with CO adsorption showed different electronic properties of Ni sites with partially reduced oxide (i.e. ZrO2 and CeO2). H2-TPR and CO2-TPD confirmed the significant role of metal-support interaction (MSI) in CeO2-supported catalysts for CO2 activation. The MSI between Ni/Ni,Fe and reducible supports are crucial for catalytic performance, ultimately leading to the higher activity and stability in CO2 hydrogenation.

Abstract
The rate of elementary steps on densely-covered surfaces depends sensitively on repulsive interactions within dense adlayers, situations ubiquitous in practice and with kinetic consequences seldom captured by Langmuirian treatments of surface catalysis. This study develops an ensemble-based method that assesses how such repulsion influences the prevalence and kinetic competence of bare-atom ensembles of different size. Chemisorbed CO (CO*) is used as an example because it forms dense adlayers on metal nanoparticles during CO2 hydrogenation (CO2-H2) and other reactions, leading to significant repulsion that weakens the binding of CO* and kinetically-relevant transition states (TS). This approach is enabled by density functional theory and probability formalisms and describes the prevalence of ensembles of contiguous bare atoms from their formation energy (via CO* desorption); it then determines their competence in stabilizing the TS and mediating the reaction rates. The specific conclusions reflect the extent to which a given TS and CO* desorbed to form bare ensembles "sense" repulsion and the contribution of each ensemble size to each reaction channel mediated by distinct TS structures. These formalisms are illustrated by assessing the relative contributions, kinetic relevance, and ensemble size requirements for two CO2-H2 routes (direct and H-assisted CO2 activation to CO and H2O) on Ru nanoparticles, but they are not restricted to specific bound species or reaction channels. This method is essential to assess the kinetic relevance of elementary steps in a given catalytic sequence and to determine the contributions from parallel reaction channels at the crowded surfaces that prevail in the practice of surface catalysis.

Abstract
We propose a plasma chemical looping CO2 splitting (PCLCS) approach that enables highly efficient CO2 conversion into O2-free CO at mild temperatures. PCLCS achieves an impressive 84% CO2 conversion and a 1.3 mmol g-1 CO yield, with no O2 detected. Crucially, this strategy significantly lowers the temperature required for conventional chemical looping processes from 650 to 1000 °C to only 320 °C, demonstrating a robust synergy between plasma and the Ce0.7Zr0.3O2 oxygen carrier (OC). Systematic experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations unveil the pivotal role of plasma in activating and partially decomposing CO2, yielding a mixture of CO, O2/O, and electronically/vibrationally excited CO2*. Notably, these excited CO2* species then efficiently decompose over the oxygen vacancies of the OCs, with a substantially reduced activation barrier (0.86 eV) compared to ground-state CO2 (1.63 eV), contributing to the synergy. This work offers a promising and energy-efficient pathway for producing O2-free CO from inert CO2 through the tailored interplay of plasma and OCs.

Abstract
Combining terrestrial biomass as the reductant with submarine-type hydrothermal environments for CO2 reduction represents a possible approach for novel energy production systems that sustainably circulate carbon. However, increasing the reductive power of biomass is the main limitation of this potential method. Herein, we demonstrate that Co-doped with small amounts of Pd enhances the reduction of CO2 by selectively producing an active intermediate from carbohydrates. This catalytic reaction utilized glucose as a reductant to achieve high formate production efficiency (458.6 g kg-1) with nearly 100% selectivity with 7.5 wt% Pd1Co20/γ-Al2O3 at a moderate temperature of 225 °C. The regulation of the electronic structure of the catalytic Co surface by the dopant Pd plays a key role in promoting the C-C bond cleavage of glucose and hydrogen transfer for CO2 reduction. The findings presented here indicate that biomass can serve as the hydrogen source for CO2 reduction and provide insight into the potential utilization of CO2 in sustainable industrial applications.

Abstract
Photothermal CO2 conversion to ethanol offers a sustainable solution for achieving net-zero carbon management. However, serious carrier recombination and high C-C coupling energy barrier cause poor performance in ethanol generation. Here, we report a Cu/Cu2Se-Cu2O heterojunction-nanosheet array, showcasing a good ethanol yield under visible-near-infrared light without external heating. The Z-scheme Cu2Se-Cu2O heterostructure provides spatially separated sites for CO2 reduction and water oxidation with boosted carrier transport efficiency. The microreactors induced by Cu2Se nanosheets improve the local concentration of intermediates (CH3* and CO*), thereby promoting C-C coupling process. Photothermal effect of Cu2Se nanosheets elevates system's temperature to around 200 °C. Through synergizing electron and heat flows, we achieve an ethanol generation rate of 149.45 µmol g-1 h-1, with an electron selectivity of 48.75% and an apparent quantum yield of 0.286%. Our work can serve as inspiration for developing photothermal catalysts for CO2 conversion into multi-carbon chemicals using solar energy.

Abstract
Improving our fundamental understanding of complex heterocatalytic processes increasingly relies on electronic structure simulations and microkinetic models based on calculated energy differences. In particular, calculation of activation barriers, usually achieved through compute-intensive saddle point search routines, remains a serious bottleneck in understanding trends in catalytic activity for highly branched reaction networks. Although the well-known Brønsted-Evans-Polyani (BEP) scaling - a one-feature linear regression model - has been widely applied in such microkinetic models, they still rely on calculated reaction energies and may not generalize beyond a single facet on a single class of materials, e. g., a terrace sites on transition metals. For highly branched and energetically shallow reaction networks, such as electrochemical CO2 reduction or wastewater remediation, calculating even reaction energies on many surfaces can become computationally intractable due to the combinatorial explosion of states that must be considered. Here, we investigate the feasibility of activation barrier prediction without knowledge of the reaction energy using linear and nonlinear machine learning (ML) models trained on a new database of over 500 dehydrogenation activation barriers. We also find that inclusion of the reaction energy significantly improves both classes of ML models, but complex nonlinear models can achieve performance similar to the simplest BEP scaling when predicting activation barriers on new systems. Additionally, inclusion of the reaction energy significantly improves generalizability to new systems beyond the training set. Our results suggest that the reaction energy is a critical feature to consider when building models to predict activation barriers, indicating that efforts to reliably predict reaction energies through, e. g., the Open Catalyst Project and others, will be an important route to effective model development for more complex systems.

Abstract
The urgent need to address global carbon emissions and promote sustainable energy solutions has led to a growing interest in carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion technologies. Among these, the transformation of CO2 into methanol (MeOH) has gained prominence as an effective mitigation strategy. This review paper provides a comprehensive exploration of recent advances and applications in the direct utilization of CO2 for the synthesis of MeOH, encompassing various aspects from catalysts to market analysis, environmental impact, and future prospects. We begin by introducing the current state of CO2 mitigation strategies, highlighting the significance of carbon recycling through MeOH production. The paper delves into the chemistry and technology behind the conversion of CO2 into MeOH, encompassing key themes such as feedstock selection, material and energy supply, and the various conversion processes, including chemical, electrochemical, photochemical, and photoelectrochemical pathways. An in-depth analysis of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts for MeOH synthesis is provided, shedding light on the advantages and drawbacks of each. Furthermore, we explore diverse routes for CO2 hydrogenation into MeOH, emphasizing the technological advances and production processes associated with this sustainable transformation. As MeOH holds a pivotal role in a wide range of chemical applications and emerges as a promising transportation fuel, the paper explores its various chemical uses, transportation, storage, and distribution, as well as the evolving MeOH market. The environmental and energy implications of CO2 conversion to MeOH are discussed, including a thermodynamic analysis of the process and cost and energy evaluations for large-scale catalytic hydrogenation.

Abstract
Dry reforming of methane (DRM), the catalytic conversion of CH4 and CO2 into syngas (H2+CO), is an important process closely correlated to the environment and chemical industry. NiAl-based catalysts have been reported to exhibit excellent activity, low cost, and environmental friendliness. At the same time, the rapid deactivation caused by carbon deposition, Ni sintering, and phase transformation exerts great challenges for its large-scale applications. This review summarizes the recent advances in NiAl-based catalysts for DRM, particularly focusing on the strategies to construct efficient and stable NiAl-based catalysts. Firstly, the thermodynamics and elementary steps of DRM, including the activation of reactants and coke formation and elimination, are summarized. The roles of Al2O3 and its mixed oxides as the support, and the influences of the promoters employed in NiAl-based catalysts over the DRM performance, are then illustrated. Finally, the design of anti-coking and anti-sintering NiAl-based catalysts for DRM is suggested as feasible and promising by tailoring the structure and states of Ni and the modification of Al-based supports including small Ni size, high Ni dispersion, proper basicity, strong metal-support interaction (SMSI), active oxygen species as well as high phase stability.

Abstract
The direct hydrogenation of greenhouse gas CO2 to higher alcohols (C2+OH) provides a new route for the production of high-value chemicals. Due to the difficulty of C-C coupling, the formation of higher alcohols is more difficult compared to that of other compounds. In this review, we summarize recent advances in the development of multifunctional catalysts, including noble metal catalysts, Co-based catalysts, Cu-based catalysts, Fe-based catalysts, and tandem catalysts for the direct hydrogenation of CO2 to higher alcohols. Possible reaction mechanisms are discussed based on the structure-activity relationship of the catalysts. The reaction-coupling strategy holds great potential to regulate the reaction network. The effects of the reaction conditions on CO2 hydrogenation are also analyzed. Finally, we discuss the challenges and potential opportunities for the further development of direct CO2 hydrogenation to higher alcohols.

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.

Effect of reduction pretreatment on the structure and catalytic performance of Ir-In 2O 3 catalysts for CO 2 hydrogenation to methanol. J Environ Sci (China) 2024; 140:2-11. [PMID: 38331500 DOI: 10.1016/j.jes.2023.01.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2022] [Revised: 01/01/2023] [Accepted: 01/16/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
In2O3 has been found a promising application in CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, which is beneficial to the utilization of CO2. The oxygen vacancy (Ov) site is identified as the catalytic active center of this reaction. However, there remains a great challenge to understand the relations between the state of oxygen species in In2O3 and the catalytic performance for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. In the present work, we compare the properties of multiple In2O3 and Ir-promoted In2O3 (Ir-In2O3) catalysts with different Ir loadings and after being pretreated under different reduction temperatures. The CO2 conversion rate of Ir-In2O3 is more promoted than that of pure In2O3. With only a small amount of Ir loading, the highly dispersed Ir species on In2O3 increase the concentration of Ov sites and enhance the activity. By finely tuning the catalyst structure, Ir-In2O3 with an Ir loading of 0.16 wt.% and pre-reduction treatment under 300°C exhibits the highest methanol yield of 146 mgCH3OH/(gcat·hr). Characterizations of Raman, electron paramagnetic resonance, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, CO2-temperature programmed desorption and CO2-pulse adsorption for the catalysts confirm that more Ov sites can be generated under higher reduction temperature, which will induce a facile CO2 adsorption and desorption cycle. Higher performance for methanol production requires an adequate dynamic balance among the surface oxygen atoms and vacancies, which guides us to find more suitable conditions for catalyst pretreatment and reaction.

Abstract
Carbon circularity is crucial for achieving a circular economy but has wider implications and impacts with respect to the circularity of materials. It has an in-depth transformative effect on the economy. CO2 recycling is a critical component for this objective, with catalysis and inorganic chemistry playing a determining role in achieving this challenge. This concept paper presents some examples, as food for thought, of unconventional aspects in developing thermal and electro/photocatalysts for recycling CO2. The aspects discussed regard designing novel materials for CO2 thermo- or electro-conversion and developing novel nanostructured electrodes.

Abstract
Conversion of CO2 into organic chemicals offers a promising route for advancing the circularity of carbon capture, utilisation, and storage in line with the international 2050 Net Zero agenda. The widely known commercialised chemical fixation of CO2 into organic chemicals is the century-old Kolbe-Schmitt reaction, which carboxylates phenol (via sodium phenoxide) into salicylic acid. The carboxylation reaction is normally carried out between the gas-solid phases in a batch reactor. The mass and heat transfer limitations of such systems require rather long reaction times and a high pressure of CO2 and are often characterised by the low formation of undesirable side products. To address these drawbacks, a novel suspension-based carboxylation method has been designed and carried out in this present study, where sodium phenoxide is dispersed in toluene to react with CO2. Importantly, the addition of phenol played a critical role in promoting the stoichiometric conversion of phenoxide to salicylic acid. Under the optimal conditions of a phenol/phenoxide molar ratio of 2:1 in toluene, a reaction temperature of 225 °C, a CO2 pressure of 30 bar, a reaction time of 2 h, and stirring at 1000 rpm, an impressive salicylic acid molar yield of 92.68% has been achieved. The reaction mechanism behind this has been discussed. This development provides us with the potential to achieve a carboxylation reaction of phenoxide with CO2 more effectively in a continuous reactor. It can also facilitate the large-scale fixing of CO2 into hydroxy aromatic carboxylic acids, which can be used as green organic chemical feedstocks for making various products, including long-lived polymeric materials.

Abstract
Turning waste into valuable products is one of the main challenges of the chemical industry. In this work, chitosan (CS), an abundant, low-cost, and non-toxic biopolymer derived from chitin, was reshaped into beads of ~3 mm. Their suitability as a support material for active phase catalyst materials was tested for a zirconium-based Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) with incorporated Pt, namely UiO-67-Pt. Its incorporation was investigated via two procedures: a one-pot synthesis (OPS) and a post-synthetic functionalization (PSF) synthesis method. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images show good UiO-67-Pt dispersion throughout the CS beads for the one-pot synthesized material (UiO-67-Pt-OPS@CS). However, this uniform dispersion was not observed for the post-synthetically functionalized material (UiO-67-Pt-PSF@CS). The success of the implementation of UiO-67-Pt was evaluated with ultraviolet-visible and infrared spectroscopy for both composite materials. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) reveals higher thermal stabilities for UiO-67-Pt-OPS@CS composite beads in comparison to pure CS beads, but not for UiO-67-Pt-PSF@CS. The study provides valuable insights into the potential of chitosan as a green, bead-shaped support material for MOFs, offering flexibility in their incorporation through different synthesis routes. It further contributes to the broader goal of the sustainable and eco-friendly design of a new generation of catalysts made from waste materials, which will be the topic of future studies.

Abstract
The catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to methane is one of the highly researched areas for the production of chemical fuels. The activity of catalyst is largely affected by support type and metal-support interaction deriving from the special method during catalyst preparation. Hence, we employed a simple solvothermal technique to synthesize Ni-based catalysts with different supports and studied the support role (CeO2, Al2O3, ZrO2, and La2O3) on structure-activity relationships in CO2 methanation. It is found that catalyst morphology can be altered by only changing the support precursors during synthesis, and therefore their catalytic behaviours were significantly affected. The Ni/Al2O3 with a core-shell morphology prepared herein exhibited a higher activity than the catalyst prepared with a common wet impregnation method. To have a comprehensive understanding for structure-activity relationships, advanced characterization (e. g., synchrotron radiation-based XAS and photoionization mass spectrometry) and in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy experiments were conducted. This research opens an avenue to further delve into the role of support on morphologies that can greatly enhance catalytic activity during CO2 methanation.

Abstract
Methanol formation over Cu/ZnO catalysts is linked with a catalytically active phase created by contact between Cu nanoparticles and Zn species whose chemical and structural state depends on reaction conditions. Herein, we use variable-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy at elevated pressure conditions combined with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements to investigate the surface structures and chemical states that evolve when a CuZn/Cu(111) surface alloy is exposed to reaction gas mixtures. In CO2 hydrogenation conditions, Zn stays embedded in the CuZn surface, but once CO gas is added to the mixture, the Zn segregates onto the Cu surface. The Zn segregation is CO-induced, and establishes a new dynamic state of the catalyst surface where Zn is continually exchanged at the Cu surface. Candidates for the migrating few-atom Zn clusters are further identified in time-resolved imaging series. The findings point to a significant role of CO affecting the distribution of Zn in the multiphasic ZnO/CuZn/Cu catalysts.

Abstract
Li-CO2 batteries have received significant attention owing to their advantages of combining greenhouse gas utilization and energy storage. However, the high kinetic barrier between gaseous CO2 and the Li2CO3 product leads to a low operating voltage (<2.5 V) and poor energy efficiency. In addition, the reversibility of Li2CO3 has always been questioned owing to the introduction of more decomposition paths caused by its higher charging plateau. Here, a novel "trinity" Li-CO2 battery system was developed by synergizing CO2, soluble redox mediator (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidoxyl, as TEM RM), and reduced graphene oxide electrode to enable selective conversion of CO2 to Li2C2O4. The designed Li-CO2 battery exhibited an output plateau reaching up to 2.97 V, higher than the equilibrium potential of 2.80 V for Li2CO3, and an ultrahigh round-trip efficiency of 97.1 %. The superior performance of Li-CO2 batteries is attributed to the TEM RM-mediated preferential growth mechanism of Li2C2O4, which enhances the reaction kinetics and rechargeability. Such a unique design enables batteries to cope with sudden CO2-deficient environments, which provides an avenue for the rationally design of CO2 conversion reactions and a feasible guide for next-generation Li-CO2 batteries.

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 hydrogenation of CO2 to formic acid is an essential subject since formic acid is a promising hydrogen storage material and a valuable commodity chemical. In this study, we report for the first time the hydrogenation of CO2 to formic acid catalyzed by a Pd2+ catalyst, Pd-V/AC-air. The catalyst exhibited extraordinary catalytic activity toward the hydrogenation of CO2 to formic acid. The TON and TOF are up to 4790 and 2825 h-1, respectively, representing the top level among reported heterogeneous Pd catalysts. By combining a study of first-principles density functional theory with experimental results, the superiority of Pd2+ over Pd0 was confirmed. Furthermore, the presence of V modified the electronic state of Pd2+, thus promoting the reaction. This study reports the effect of metal valence and electronic state on the catalytic performance for the first time and provides a new prospect for the design of an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the hydrogenation of CO2 to formic acid.

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
The synthesis of mono-N-methylated aliphatic primary amines has traditionally been challenging, requiring noble metal catalysts and high-pressure H2 for achieving satisfactory yields and selectivity. Herein, we developed an approach for the selective coupling of methanol and aliphatic primary amines, without high-pressure hydrogen, using a manganese-based catalyst. Remarkably, up to 98 % yields with broad substrate scope were achieved at low catalyst loadings. Notably, due to the weak base-catalyzed alcoholysis of formamide intermediates, our novel protocol not only obviates the addition of high-pressure H2 but also prevents side secondary N-methylation, supported by control experiments and density functional theory calculations.

Abstract
Herein, nanocomposites made of Ni nanoparticles in situ distributed in an amorphous silicon nitride (Ni/a-Si3N4) matrix, on the one hand, and within an amorphous silicon dioxide (Ni/a-SiO2) matrix, on the other hand, were synthesized from the same Ni-modified polysilazane precursor. In both compounds, the Ni/Si atomic ratio (0.06-0.07), average Ni nanocrystallite size (7.0-7.6 nm) and micro/mesoporosity of the matrix were rigorously fixed. Hydrogen (H2)-temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) profile analysis revealed that the activation energy for H2 desorption at about 100-130 °C evaluated for the Ni/a-Si3N4 sample (47.4 kJ mol-1) was lower than that for the Ni/a-SiO2 sample (68.0 kJ mol-1). Mechanistic study with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that, at Ni nanoparticle/matrix heterointerfaces, Ni becomes more covalently bonded to N atoms in the a-Si3N4 matrix compared to O atoms in the a-SiO2 matrix. Therefore, based on experimental and theoretical studies, we elucidated that nickel-nitrogen (Ni-N) interactions at the heterointerface lead to remarkable Ni d band broadening and downshifting of the d band center relative to those generated by Ni-oxygen (Ni-O) interactions at the heterointerface. This facilitates H2 desorption, as experimentally observed in the Ni/a-Si3N4 sample.

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
CO2 hydrogenation to chemicals and fuels is a significant approach for achieving carbon neutrality. It is essential to rationally design the chemical structure and catalytic active sites towards the development of efficient catalysts. Here we show a Ce-CuZn catalyst with enriched Cu/Zn-OV-Ce active sites fabricated through the atomic-level substitution of Cu and Zn into Ce-MOF precursor. The Ce-CuZn catalyst exhibits a high methanol selectivity of 71.1% and a space-time yield of methanol up to 400.3 g·kgcat-1·h-1 with excellent stability for 170 h at 260 °C, comparable to that of the state-of-the-art CuZnAl catalysts. Controlled experiments and DFT calculations confirm that the incorporation of Cu and Zn into CeO2 with abundant oxygen vacancies can facilitate H2 dissociation energetically and thus improve CO2 hydrogenation over the Ce-CuZn catalyst via formate intermediates. This work offers an atomic-level design strategy for constructing efficient multi-metal catalysts for methanol synthesis through precise control of active sites.

Abstract
Hydrothermal vents harbor numerous microbial communities rich in reduced carbon species such as formate, acetate, and hydrocarbons. Such essential chemicals for life are produced by H2 -dependent CO2 reduction, where serpentinization provides continuous H2 and thermal energy. Here, we show that silica-supported bimetallic Co-Fe alloys, naturally occurring minerals around serpentinite, can convert CO2 and H2 O to key metabolic intermediates of the acetyl coenzyme A pathway such as formate (up to 72 mM), acetate, and pyruvate under mild hydrothermal vent conditions. Long-chain hydrocarbons up to C6 including propene are also detected, just as in the Lost City hydrothermal field. The effects of promoters on structural properties and catalytic functionalities of the Co-Fe alloy are systematically investigated by incorporating a series of alkali and alkaline earth metals including Na, Mg, K, and Ca. Alkali and alkaline earth metals resulted in higher formate concentrations when dissolved in water and increased reaction pH, while alkaline earth metals also favored the formation of insoluble hydroxides and carbonates similar to the constituent minerals of the chimneys at the Lost City hydrothermal fields.

Abstract
Due to their role in controlling global climate change, the selective conversion of C1 molecules such as CH4, CO, and CO2 has attracted widespread attention. Typically, H2O competes with the reactant molecules to adsorb on the active sites and therefore inhibits the reaction or causes catalyst deactivation. However, H2O can also participate in the catalytic conversion of C1 molecules as a reactant or a promoter. Herein, we provide a perspective on recent progress in the mechanistic studies of H2O-mediated conversion of C1 molecules. We aim to provide an in-depth and systematic understanding of H2O as a promoter, a proton-transfer agent, an oxidant, a direct source of hydrogen or oxygen, and its influence on the catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability. We also summarize strategies for modifying catalysts or catalytic microenvironments by chemical or physical means to optimize the positive effects and minimize the negative effects of H2O on the reactions of C1 molecules. Finally, we discuss challenges and opportunities in catalyst design, characterization techniques, and theoretical modeling of the H2O-mediated catalytic conversion of C1 molecules.

Abstract
Catalytic hydrogenation of urea derivatives is considered to be one of the most feasible methods for indirect reduction functionalization of CO2 and synthesis of valuable chemicals and fuels. Among value-added products, methylamines, formamides and methanol are highly attractive as important industrial raw materials. Herein, we report the highly selective catalytic hydrogenation of urea derivatives to N-monomethylamines for the first time. More importantly, two- and six-electron reduction products can be switched on/off by subtly tuning 0.5 mol% KOtBu (2% to 1.5%): when the molar ratio of KOtBu/(PPh3)3RuCl2 exceeds 2.0, it is favorable for the formation of two-electron reduction products (N-formamides), while when it is below 2.0, the two-electron reduction products are further hydrogenated to six-electron reduction products (N-monomethylamines and methanol). Furthermore, changing the type of additive can also regulate this interesting selectivity. Control experiments showed that this selectivity is achieved by regulating the acid-base environment of the reaction to control the fate of the common hemiaminal intermediate. A feasible mechanism is proposed based on mechanistic experiments and characterization. This method has the advantages of being simple, universal and highly efficient, and opens up a new synthesis strategy for the utilization of renewable carbon sources.

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
The thermocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into high value-added chemicals provides a strategy to address the environmental problems caused by excessive carbon emissions and the sustainable production of chemicals. Significant progress has been made in the CO2 hydrogenation to long chain α-olefins, but controlling C-O activation and C-C coupling remains a great challenge. This review focuses on the recent advances in catalyst design concepts for the synthesis of long chain α-olefins from CO2 hydrogenation. We have systematically summarized and analyzed the ingenious design of catalysts, reaction mechanisms, the interaction between active sites and supports, structure-activity relationship, influence of reaction process parameters on catalyst performance, and catalyst stability, as well as the regeneration methods. Meanwhile, the challenges in the development of the long chain α-olefins synthesis from CO2 hydrogenation are proposed, and the future development opportunities are prospected. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive perspective on long chain α-olefins synthesis from CO2 hydrogenation to inspire the invention of novel catalysts and accelerate the development of this process.

Abstract
Actual problems of development of catalysts for hydrogenation of heterocyclic compounds by hydrogen are summarized and discussed. The scope of review covers composites of nanoparticles of platinum group metals and 3d metals for heterogeneous catalytic processes. Such problems include increase of catalyst activity, which is important for reduction of precious metals content; development of new catalytic systems which do not contain metals of platinum group or contain cheaper analogues of Pd; control of factors which make influence on the selectivity of the catalysts; achievement of high reproducibility of the catalyst's performance and quality control of the catalysts. Own results of the authors are also summarized and described. The catalysts were prepared by decomposition of Pd0 and Ni0 complexes, pyrolysis of Ni2+ and Co2+ complexes deposited on aerosil and reduction of Ni2+ in pores of porous support in situ. The developed catalysts were used for hydrogenation of multigram batches of heterocyclic compounds.

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
Rational design of low-cost and efficient transition-metal catalysts for low-temperature CO2 activation is significant and poses great challenges. Herein, a strategy via regulating the local electron density of active sites is developed to boost CO2 methanation that normally requires >350 °C for commercial Ni catalysts. An optimal Ni/ZrO2 catalyst affords an excellent low-temperature performance hitherto, with a CO2 conversion of 84.0 %, CH4 selectivity of 98.6 % even at 230 °C and GHSV of 12,000 mL g-1 h-1 for 106 h, reflecting one of the best CO2 methanation performance to date on Ni-based catalysts. Combined a series of in situ spectroscopic characterization studies reveal that re-constructing monoclinic-ZrO2 supported Ni species with abundant oxygen vacancies can facilitate CO2 activation, owing to the enhanced local electron density of Ni induced by the strong metal-support interactions. These findings might be of great aid for construction of robust catalysts with an enhanced performance for CO2 emission abatement and beyond.

Abstract
Continuous worldwide demands for more clean energy urge researchers and engineers to seek various energy applications, including electrocatalytic processes. Traditional energy-active materials, when combined with conducting materials and non-active polymeric materials, inadvertently leading to reduced interaction between their active and conducting components. This results in a drop in active catalytic sites, sluggish kinetics, and compromised mass and electronic transport properties. Furthermore, interaction between these materials could increase degradation products, impeding the efficiency of the catalytic process. Gels appears to be promising candidates to solve these challenges due to their larger specific surface area, three-dimensional hierarchical accommodative porous frameworks for active particles, self-catalytic properties, tunable electronic and electrochemical properties, as well as their inherent stability and cost-effectiveness. This review delves into the strategic design of catalytic gel materials, focusing on their potential in advanced energy conversion and storage technologies. Specific attention is given to catalytic gel material design strategies, exploring fundamental catalytic approaches for energy conversion processes such as the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and more. This comprehensive review not only addresses current developments but also outlines future research strategies and challenges in the field. Moreover, it provides guidance on overcoming these challenges, ensuring a holistic understanding of catalytic gel materials and their role in advancing energy conversion and storage technologies.

Abstract
Tuning CO2 hydrogenation product distribution to obtain high-selectivity target products is of great significance. However, due to the imprecise regulation of chain propagation and hydrogenation reactions, the oriented synthesis of a single product is challenging. Herein, we report an approach to controlling multiple sites with graphene fence engineering that enables direct conversion of CO2/H2 mixtures into different types of hydrocarbons. Fe-Co active sites on the graphene fence surface present 50.1% light olefin selectivity, while the spatial Fe-Co nanoparticles separated by graphene fences achieve liquefied petroleum gas of 43.6%. With the assistance of graphene fences, iron carbides and metallic cobalt can efficiently regulate C-C coupling and olefin secondary hydrogenation reactions to achieve product-selective switching between light olefins and liquefied petroleum gas. Furthermore, it also creates a precedent for CO2 direct hydrogenation to liquefied petroleum gas via a Fischer-Tropsch pathway with the highest space-time yields compared to other reported composite catalysts.

Abstract
Due to concerns over rising emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from fossil fuel utilization, there has been a strong emphasis on the development of a safe, economical, practical method of carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS). One way to reduce these CO2 emissions is underground geological sequestration in depleted oil fields or exhausted reservoirs. CO2 injection into oil reservoirs is an established technology, these reservoirs not only offer the potential for high storage of CO2 but this process could also target a large amount of oil and gas recovery through a technique called enhanced oil recovery (EOR). The main objective of this research was to evaluate the storage potential of CO2 in the depleted oil field while also investigating the effect of CO2 injection on reservoir pressure maintenance, and additional oil and gas recovery, in the same field. This paper presented the model of CO2 flooding based on the CO2 displacement mechanism with different scenarios of natural depletion, CO2 injection, and water injection simulated by the ECLIPSE 300 reservoir simulator, and the results of different scenarios were compared. Results of this study showed the site selected for CO2 injection has the potential to store more than 9 billion cubic feet (BCF) of CO2 in each case and witnessed improved gas recovery, while also having a major effect on reservoir pressure maintenance where pressure increased from 2120 psi to 6584 psi. The finding of this work ought to help in preparing for future improvement in underground geological sequestration of CO2 in depleted fields with the same field specifications.

Abstract
The selective hydrogenation of CO2 into high-value chemicals is an effective approach to address environmental issues. Cobalt-based catalysts have significant potential in CO2 hydrogenation reaction systems; however, there is a need to control their selectivity better. In this study, copper is introduced onto Co3O4 nanosheets using the ion exchange reverse loading method. The unique interaction of these materials significantly alters the selectivity of the cobalt-based catalyst. Results from scanning transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy indicate that this catalyst enables a more even dispersion of copper species in the Co3O4 nanosheets. Temperature-programmed reduction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveal that the catalyst facilitates the metal-metal interaction between Co and Cu. Temperature-programmed desorption experiments for CO2 and H2 demonstrate that the close interaction between Co and Cu modifies CO2 adsorption, leading to differences in catalytic activity. Moreover, the catalyst effectively suppresses CO2 methanation and promotes methanol formation by altering the alkalinity of the catalyst surface and weakening the hydrogen dissociation ability.

Abstract
Atomic arrangement in Cu-Pd alloy nanoparticles (NPs) has been reported to influence the catalytic activity, but they have yet to be studied in detail. Unlike previous studies, where the B2 structure Cu-Pd NPs are obtained by heat treating the A1 structure, this study reports the one-pot direct syntheses of A1- and B2-structured Cu-Pd NPs using an alcohol reduction method. The alcohol reduction technique facilitates the kinetic control of the reduction reaction by selecting the appropriate alcohol type and complexing agent to delay the reduction of easily reducible metallic elements to realize control over the reduction kinetics for coreduction. Different formation mechanisms for A1- and B2-structured CuPd NPs were confirmed by in situ ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) measurements and morphological and structural analyses of samples withdrawn during the reaction. Finally, the direct formation of single-phase B2-structured Cu-Pd NPs with an average diameter of 18.6 ± 7.6 nm was realized using tri-n-octyl phosphine as a complexing agent. The noticeable crystal structural dependence of the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction properties of A1- and B2-structured CuPd NPs was demonstrated.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) hydrogenation to methane (CH4) is regarded as a promising approach for CO2 utilization, whereas achieving desirable conversion efficiency under mild conditions remains a significant challenge. Herein, we have identified ultrasmall Ru nanoparticles (∼2.5 nm) anchored on MnCo2O4 nanosheets as prospective photothermal catalysts for CO2 methanation at ambient pressure with light irradiation. Our findings revealed that MnCo2O4 nanosheets exhibit dual functionality as photothermal substrates for localized temperature enhancement and photocatalysts for electron donation. As such, the optimized Ru/MnCo2O4-2 gave a high CH4 production rate of 66.3 mmol gcat-1 h-1 (corresponding to 5.1 mol gRu-1 h-1) with 96% CH4 selectivity at 230 °C under ambient pressure and light irradiation (420-780 nm, 1.25 W cm-2), outperforming most reported plasmonic metal-based catalysts. The mechanisms behind the intriguing photothermal catalytic performance improvement were substantiated through a comprehensive investigation involving experimental characterizations, numerical simulations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which unveiled the synergistic effects of enhanced charge separation efficiency, improved reaction kinetics, facilitated reactant adsorption/activation and accelerated intermediate conversion under light irradiation over Ru/MnCo2O4. A comparison study showed that, with identical external input energy during the reaction, Ru/MnCo2O4-2 had a much higher catalytic efficiency compared to Ru/TiO2 and Ru/Al2O3. This study underscores the pivotal role played by photothermal supports and is believed to engender a heightened interest in plasmonic metal nanoparticles anchored on photothermal substrates for CO2 methanation under mild conditions.

Abstract
This paper consists of a deep analysis and data comparison of the main strategies undertaken for achieving truly reversible capture of carbon dioxide involving optimized gas uptakes while affording weakest retention strength. So far, most strategies failed because the estimated amount of CO2 produced by equivalent energy was higher than that captured. A more viable and sustainable approach in the present context of a persistent fossil fuel-dependent economy should be based on a judicious compromise between effective CO2 capture with lowest energy for adsorbent regeneration. The most relevant example is that of so-called promising technologies based on amino adsorbents which unavoidably require thermal regeneration. In contrast, OH-functionalized adsorbents barely reach satisfactory CO2 uptakes but act as breathing surfaces affording easy gas release even under ambient conditions or in CO2-free atmospheres. Between these two opposite approaches, there should exist smart approaches to tailor CO2 retention strength even at the expense of the gas uptake. Among these, incorporation of zero-valent metal and/or OH-enriched amines or amine-enriched polyol species are probably the most promising. The main findings provided by the literature are herein deeply and systematically analysed for highlighting the main criteria that allow for designing ideal CO2 adsorbent properties.

Abstract
CONTEXT The efficient catalysis of CO2 adsorption and activation presents a formidable challenge due to its pronounced thermodynamic stability and kinetic inertia. Previous experiments have left gaps in understanding the promotional effects and underlying mechanism of potassium. In this study, we systematically investigate CO2 adsorption and activation on clean and potassium-preadsorbed low index surfaces of transition metals. Theoretical results reveal a substantial augmentation in CO2 binding strength when potassium is introduced, concomitant with a general reduction in activation energies. Notably, linear correlations are significant on close-packed metal surfaces without and with potassium additive. Through a comprehensive analysis encompassing geometric parameters, electronic structures, and energy decomposition, we discern the physical underpinnings of the potassium effect. This enhancement is primarily ascribed to direct electron transfer and dipole-dipole interactions. Furthermore, we scrutinize the impact of an external electric field, demonstrating that the application of a negative electric field accelerates CO2 activation, mirroring the effects observed with potassium. METHODS All the periodic density function theory (DFT) calculations were performed by the Vienna Ab Initio Simulation package (VASP). The interaction between nucleus and valence electron was described using the pseudopotentials found in the projector augmented wave method (PAW). Throughout the entire work, the Bayesian error estimation functional (BEEF) was used.

Abstract
Decentralized chemical plants close to circular carbon sources will play an important role in shaping the postfossil society. This scenario calls for carbon technologies which valorize CO2 and CO with renewable H2 and utilize process intensification approaches. The single-reactor tandem reaction approach to convert COx to hydrocarbons via oxygenate intermediates offers clear benefits in terms of improved thermodynamics and energy efficiency. Simultaneously, challenges and complexity in terms of catalyst material and mechanism, reactor, and process gaps have to be addressed. While the separate processes, namely methanol synthesis and methanol to hydrocarbons, are commercialized and extensively discussed, this review focuses on the zeolite/zeotype function in the oxygenate-mediated conversion of COx to hydrocarbons. Use of shape-selective zeolite/zeotype catalysts enables the selective production of fuel components as well as key intermediates for the chemical industry, such as BTX, gasoline, light olefins, and C3+ alkanes. In contrast to the separate processes which use methanol as a platform, this review examines the potential of methanol, dimethyl ether, and ketene as possible oxygenate intermediates in separate chapters. We explore the connection between literature on the individual reactions for converting oxygenates and the tandem reaction, so as to identify transferable knowledge from the individual processes which could drive progress in the intensification of the tandem process. This encompasses a multiscale approach, from molecule (mechanism, oxygenate molecule), to catalyst, to reactor configuration, and finally to process level. Finally, we present our perspectives on related emerging technologies, outstanding challenges, and potential directions for future research.

Abstract
Controlling and understanding reaction temperature variations in catalytic processes are crucial for assessing the performance of a catalyst material. Local temperature measurements are challenging, however. Luminescence thermometry is a promising remote-sensing tool, but it is cross-sensitive to the optical properties of a sample and other external parameters. In this work, we measure spatial variations in the local temperature on the micrometer length scale during carbon dioxide (CO2) methanation over a TiO2-supported Ni catalyst and link them to variations in catalytic performance. We extract local temperatures from the temperature-dependent emission of Y2O3:Nd3+ particles, which are mixed with the CO2 methanation catalyst. Scanning, where a near-infrared laser locally excites the emitting Nd3+ ions, produces a temperature map with a micrometer pixel size. We first designed the Y2O3:Nd3+ particles for optimal temperature precision and characterized cross-sensitivity of the measured signal to parameters other than temperature, such as light absorption by the blackened sample due to coke deposition at elevated temperatures. Introducing reaction gases causes a local temperature increase of the catalyst of on average 6-25 K, increasing with the reactor set temperature in the range of 550-640 K. Pixel-to-pixel variations in the temperature increase show a standard deviation of up to 1.5 K, which are attributed to local variations in the catalytic reaction rate. Mapping and understanding such temperature variations are crucial for the optimization of overall catalyst performance on the nano- and macroscopic scale.

Abstract
Ni-based catalysts have been widely studied in the hydrogenation of CO2 to CH4 , but selective and efficient synthesis of higher alcohols (C2+ OH) from CO2 hydrogenation over Ni-based catalyst is still challenging due to successive hydrogenation of C1 intermediates leading to methanation. Herein, we report an unprecedented synthesis of C2+ OH from CO2 hydrogenation over K-modified Ni-Zn bimetal catalyst with promising activity and selectivity. Systematic experiments (including XRD, in situ spectroscopic characterization) and computational studies reveal the in situ generation of an active K-modified Ni-Zn carbide (K-Ni3 Zn1 C0.7 ) by carburization of Zn-incorporated Ni0 , which can significantly enhance CO2 adsorption and the surface coverage of alkyl intermediates, and boost the C-C coupling to C2+ OH rather than conventional CH4 . This work opens a new catalytic avenue toward CO2 hydrogenation to C2+ OH, and also provides an insightful example for the rational design of selective and efficient Ni-based catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation to multiple carbon products.

Abstract
A novel CuO-MoS2 based heterostructure catalyst model system is proposed where a CuO nanosheet with exposed {001} facet with proper termination is the active surface for the catalysis and a MoS2 nanosheet is the supporting layer. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to validate the model. The MoS2 bilayer forms a stable heterostructure with {001} faceted CuO with different terminations exposing oxygen and copper atoms (active sites) on the surface. The heterostructure active sites with a low oxidation state of the copper atoms and subsurface oxygen atoms provide a suitable chemical environment for the selective production of multicarbon products from CO2 electrocatalytic reduction. Furthermore, our heterostructure model exhibits good electrical conductivity, efficient electron transport to active surface sites, and less interfacial resistance compared to similar heterostructure systems. Additionally, we propose a photoenhanced electrocatalysis mechanism due to the photoactive nature of MoS2. We suggest that the photogenerated carrier separation occurs because of the interface-induced dipole. Moreover, we utilized a machine learning model trained on a 2D DFT materials database to predict selected properties and compared them with the DFT results. Overall, our study provides insights into the structure-property relationship of a MoS2 supported 2D CuO nanosheet based bifunctional catalyst and highlights the advantages of heterostructure formation with selective morphology and properly terminated surface in tuning the catalytic performance of nanocomposite materials.

Abstract
We present a partially-oxidised bimetallic Mo-Pt subnanoparticle (Mo4Pt8Ox) enabling thermally-driven CO2 hydrogenation to CO at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. A mechanistic study explained the full catalytic cycle of the reaction from CO2 activation to catalyst reactivation. DFT calculations revealed that alloying with Mo lowers the activation barrier by weakening the CO adsorption. This finding could be a first step for low-energy CO2 conversion.
