On the Conversion of CO2 to Methanol: Challenges and Possible Solutions. Highlights

Abstract

The state-of-the-art and prospects of carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methanol via heterogeneous catalysts are highlighted. The main focus is on various catalysts including metals, metal oxides, and intermetallic compounds. The current efforts are directed to the development of catalytic structures that allow for the tuning of the catalyst composition and modulation of surface structures and potentially provide promising catalytic performance.
