Abstract
The thermochemical conversion of CO2 into methanol, a process known for its selectivity, often encounters a significant obstacle: the reverse water gas reaction. This problem emerges due to the demanding high temperatures and pressures, causing instability in catalytic performance. Recent endeavours have focused on innovatively designing catalysts capable of withstanding such conditions. Given the costliness of experimental approaches, a theoretical framework has emerged as a promising avenue for addressing the challenges in methanol production. It has been reported that transition metals, especially Pd, provide ideal binding sites for CO2 molecules and hydrogen atoms, facilitating their interactions and subsequent conversion to methanol. In the geometric single-atom form, their surface enables precise control over the reaction pathways and enhances the selectivity towards methanol. In our study, we employed density functional theory (DFT) to explore the conversion of CO2 to CH3OH on Pd1-Cu(111) and Pd1-Ag(111) single-atom alloy (SAA) catalysts. Our investigation involved mapping out the complex reaction pathways of CO2 hydrogenation to CH3OH using microkinetic reaction modelling and mechanisms. We examined three distinct pathways: the COOH* formation pathway, the HCOO* formation pathway, and the dissociation of CO2* to CO* pathway. This comprehensive analysis encompassed the determination of adsorption energies for all reactants, transition states, and resultant products. Additionally, we investigated the thermodynamic and kinetic profiles of individual reaction steps. Our findings emphasised the essential role of the Pd single atom in enhancing the activation of CO2, highlighting the key mechanism underlying this catalytic process. The favoured route for methanol generation on the Pd1-Ag(111) single-atom alloy (SAA) surface unfolds as follows: CO2* progresses through a series of transformations, transitioning successively into HCOO*, HCOOH*, H2COOH*, CH2O*, and CH2OH*, terminating in the formation of CH3OH*, due to lower activation energies and higher rate constants.

Abstract
In this study, p-type oxides including NiO, Co3O4, and CuO had been heterostructured with WS2 microflakes for chemiresistive-type gas sensors at room temperature. Microjunctions formed between p-type oxides and WS2 microflakes effectively modulated the sensitivities of the sensors to ammonia. In comparison to Co3O4- or CuO-decorated WS2-based sensors in which "deep energy puddles" were formed at the microjunctions between the oxides and WS2, the fabricated NiO/WS2 heterostructure-based sensor without the formed energy puddles exhibited a better sensing performance with improved sensitivity and a faster response to gaseous 1-10 ppm of NH3. It also processes a good selectivity to some volatile organic compounds including HCHO, toluene, CH3OH, C2H5OH, CH3COCH3, and trimethylamine (TMA). The underlying mechanisms for the enhanced responses were examined by employing in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy and density functional theory computation. The oxidization of NH3 on NiO/WS2 was much more intensified compared to those occurred on Co3O4/WS2 and CuO/WS2. NiO/WS2 has a stronger adsorption to NH3 and gains more effective charges transferred from NH3 which significantly contributes to the enhanced sensing properties.

Abstract
Supported, bimetallic catalysts have shown great promise for the selective hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol. In this study, we decipher the catalytically active structure of Ni-Ga-based catalysts. To this end, model Ni-Ga-based catalysts, with varying Ni:Ga ratios, were prepared by a surface organometallic chemistry approach. In situ differential pair distribution function (d-PDF) analysis revealed that catalyst activation in H2 leads to the formation of nanoparticles based on a Ni-Ga face-centered cubic (fcc) alloy along with a small quantity of GaOx. Structure refinements of the d-PDF data enabled us to determine the amount of both alloyed Ga and GaOx species. In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy experiments confirmed the presence of alloyed Ga and GaOx and indicated that alloying with Ga affects the electronic structure of metallic Ni (viz., Niδ-). Both the Ni:Ga ratio in the alloy and the quantity of GaOx are found to minimize methanation and to determine the methanol formation rate and the resulting methanol selectivity. The highest formation rate and methanol selectivity are found for a Ni-Ga alloy having a Ni:Ga ratio of ∼75:25 along with a small quantity of oxidized Ga species (0.14 molNi-1). Furthermore, operando infrared spectroscopy experiments indicate that GaOx species play a role in the stabilization of formate surface intermediates, which are subsequently further hydrogenated to methoxy species and ultimately to methanol. Notably, operando XAS shows that alloying between Ni and Ga is maintained under reaction conditions and is key to attaining a high methanol selectivity (by minimizing CO and CH4 formation), while oxidized Ga species enhance the methanol formation rate.

Abstract
The Ni5Ga3 alloy supported on ZrO2 is a promising catalyst for the reduction of CO2 due to its higher selectivity to methanol at ambient pressure, e.g., activity comparable to industrial catalysts. However, our atomistic understanding of the role of the cooperative effects induced by the Ni5Ga3 alloy formation and its Ni5Ga3/ZrO2 interface in the CO2 reduction is still far from satisfactory. In this work, we tackle these questions by employing density functional theory calculations to investigate the adsorption properties of key CO2 reduction intermediates (CO2, H2, cis-COOH, trans-COOH, HCOO, CO, HCO, and COH) on Ni8, Ga8, Ni5Ga3, (ZrO2)16, and Ni5Ga3/(ZrO2)16. We found that Ni containing clusters tended to assume wetting configurations on the (ZrO2)16 cluster, while the presence of Ga atoms weakens the adsorption energies on the oxide surface. We also observed that CO2 was better activated on the metal–oxide interfaces and on the oxide surface, where it was able to form CO3-like structures. Meanwhile, H2 activation was only observed on Ni sites, which indicates the importance of distinct adsorption sites that can favor different CO2 reduction steps. Moreover, the formation of the metal–oxide interface showed to be beneficial for the adsorption of COOH isomers and unfavorable for the adsorption of HCOO.

Abstract
Reducing levels of CO2, a greenhouse gas, in the earth’s atmosphere is crucial to addressing the problem of climate change. An effective strategy to achieve this without compromising the scale of industrial activity involves use of renewable energy and waste heat in conversion of CO2 to useful products. In this perspective, we present quantum mechanical and machine learning approaches to tackle various aspects of thermocatalytic reduction of CO2 to methanol, using H2 as a reducing agent. Waste heat can be utilized effectively in the thermocatalytic process, and H2 can be generated using solar energy in electrolytic, photocatalytic and photoelectrocatalytic processes. Methanol being a readily usable fuel in automobiles, this technology achieves (a) carbon recycling process, (b) use of renewable energy, and (c) portable storage of H2 for applications in automobiles, alleviating the problem of rising CO2 emissions and levels in atmosphere.

Abstract
The increasing atmospheric CO2 level makes CO2 reduction an urgent challenge facing the world. Catalytic transformation of CO2 into chemicals and fuels utilizing renewable energy is one of the promising approaches toward alleviating CO2 emissions. In particular, the selective hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol utilizing renewable hydrogen potentially enables large scale transformation of CO2 . The Cu-based catalysts have been extensively investigated in CO2 hydrogenation. However, it is not only limited by long-term instability but also displays unsatisfactory catalytic performance. The supported metal-based catalysts (Pd, Pt, Au, and Ag) can achieve high methanol selectivity at low temperatures. The mixed oxide catalysts represented by Ma ZrOx (Ma =Zn, Ga, and Cd) solid solution catalysts present high methanol selectivity and catalytic activity as well as excellent stability. This Review focuses on the recent advances in developing Non-Cu-based heterogeneous catalysts and current understandings of catalyst design and catalytic performance. First, the thermodynamics of CO2 hydrogenation to methanol is discussed. Then, the progress in supported metal-based catalysts, bimetallic alloys or intermetallic compounds catalysts, and mixed oxide catalysts is discussed. Finally, a summary and a perspective are presented.

Abstract
The tunability offered by alloying different elements is useful to design catalysts with greater activity, selectivity, and stability than single metals. By comparing the Pd(111) and PdZn(111) model catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, we show that intermetallic alloying is a possible strategy to control the reaction pathway from the tuning of adsorbate binding energies. In comparison to Pd, the strong electron-donor character of PdZn weakens the adsorption of carbon-bound species and strengthens the binding of oxygen-bound species. As a consequence, the first step of CO2 hydrogenation more likely leads to the formate intermediate on PdZn, while the carboxyl intermediate is preferentially formed on Pd. This results in the opening of a pathway from carbon dioxide to methanol on PdZn similar to that previously proposed on Cu. These findings rationalize the superiority of PdZn over Pd for CO2 conversion into methanol and suggest guidance for designing more efficient catalysts by promoting the proper reaction intermediates.

Abstract
The first-step hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol via a HCOO route, COOH route, and RWGS + CO-hydro route on NixW(111) (x = 0, 1, 3) has been studied using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. CO2 and H could be chemically adsorbed on Ni-doped W(111) surfaces with relatively high adsorption energy, due to the synergistic effect of W that helps anchoring CO2 and Ni that facilitates the adsorption of H. The HCOO route is the main path for the first-step hydrogenation of CO2 with lower barriers on all three surfaces. Besides, competition between the HCOO route and RWGS + CO-hydro route could be enhanced with the increase in doped Ni on the W(111) surface. Furthermore, the first-step hydrogenation of CO2 hardly undergoes the COOH pathway because of the higher barriers, although the doping of Ni has slightly reduced the barrier of COOH formation. Our calculated results indicate that the W(111) and Ni-doped W(111) surface are potential candidate surfaces for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, and Ni doping could influence the selectivity of reduction pathways.

Abstract
NiGa is a catalyst for the semihydrogenation of alkynes. Here we show the influence of different dispersion times before microwave-induced decomposition of the precursors on the phase purity, as well as the influence of the time of microwave-induced decomposition on the crystallinity of the NiGa nanoparticles. Microwave-induced co-decomposition of all-hydrocarbon precursors [Ni(COD)2] (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) and GaCp* (Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) in the ionic liquid [BMIm][NTf2] selectively yields small intermetallic Ni/Ga nanocrystals of 5 ± 1 nm as derived from transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) and supported by energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX), selected-area energy diffraction (SAED) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). NiGa@[BMIm][NTf2] catalyze the semihydrogenation of 4-octyne to 4-octene with 100% selectivity towards (E)-4-octene over five runs, but with poor conversion values. IL-free, precipitated NiGa nanoparticles achieve conversion values of over 90% and selectivity of 100% towards alkene over three runs.

A new and different insight into the promotion mechanisms of Ga for the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to methanol over a Ga-doped Ni(211) bimetallic catalyst. NANOSCALE 2019; 11:9969-9979.

Abstract
The hydrogenation of CO2 to CH3OH is one of the most promising technologies for the utilization of captured CO2 in the future. Nano Ni-Ga bimetallic catalysts have been proven to be excellent catalysts in the hydrogenation of CO2 to CH3OH. To investigate the promotion mechanisms of Ga for the hydrogenation of CO2 to CH3OH over Ga-doped Ni catalysts and the wide application of these promotion mechanisms in other catalysts and reactions, herein, density functional theory (DFT) was employed. The reaction mechanisms and the properties of Ni(211) and Ga-Ni(211) surfaces were comparatively studied. The results show that the Ni sites on both the Ni(211) and the Ga-Ni(211) surfaces are active sites, and the most stable structures of the intermediates are similar. Moreover, the Ga-Ni(211) surface is more favorable for the hydrogenation of CO2, whereas Ni(211) is more favorable for the dissociation of CO2. The activation barrier of the rate-limiting step in the CH3OH formation pathway on Ni(211) is 0.54 eV higher than that on Ga-Ni(211). According to the analyses of the projected density of states (PDOS) and Hirshfeld charge transfer, the addition of Ga atoms demonstrates the reactivity of the Ga-doped Ni(211) surfaces. Most importantly, the replacement of some secondary active sites of Ni atoms with the non-active Ga atoms may lower the activities of the secondary active sites and strengthen the activities of the active sites at the step edge. These results provide a new perspective for the reaction mechanism of the hydrogenation of CO2 to CH3OH over the state-of-the-art Ga-doped catalysts.
