Abstract
Addressing energy shortages and environmental pollution, the demand for sustainable energy solutions has surged due to the environmental impact of fossil fuels. Photothermal reactions, combining photochemical and thermochemical mechanisms, show promise in converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into renewable fuels. This review explores the application of Metal-Organic Framework-hybrids (MOF-hybrids) in photothermal CO2 hydrogenation, aiming for a carbon-neutral economy. Herein, a detailed analysis of CO2 hydrogenation principles, mechanisms, and the characteristics of MOFs was provided. The recent advancements in utilising MOF-hybrids and derivatives for CO2 conversion, highlighting their potential in producing valuable fuels and chemicals were thoroughly reviewed. Finally, insightful future perspectives into advancing green energy technologies and environmental chemistry were explored. This study lays a foundational roadmap for future research aimed at transforming CO2 into sustainable fuels. This work is poised to catalyse breakthroughs in environmental chemistry, offering a beacon for the development of green energy technologies.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering (JECE) serves as a platform for the dissemination of original and innovative research focusing on the advancement of environmentally-friendly, sustainable technologies. JECE emphasizes the transition towards a carbon-neutral circular economy and a self-sufficient bio-based economy. Topics covered include soil, water, wastewater, and air decontamination; pollution monitoring, prevention, and control; advanced analytics, sensors, impact and risk assessment methodologies in environmental chemical engineering; resource recovery (water, nutrients, materials, energy); industrial ecology; valorization of waste streams; waste management (including e-waste); climate-water-energy-food nexus; novel materials for environmental, chemical, and energy applications; sustainability and environmental safety; water digitalization, water data science, and machine learning; process integration and intensification; recent developments in green chemistry for synthesis, catalysis, and energy; and original research on contaminants of emerging concern, persistent chemicals, and priority substances, including microplastics, nanoplastics, nanomaterials, micropollutants, antimicrobial resistance genes, and emerging pathogens (viruses, bacteria, parasites) of environmental significance.
