Abstract The thermocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) into valuable hydrocarbons presents a promising solution for mitigating anthropogenic CO emissions while producing drop‐in replacements fossil‐derived products. Among the two tandem mechanisms direct hydrogenation , methanol synthesis coupled with to hydrocarbon (MTH) reaction offers an improvement over reverse water‐gas shift Fischer‐Tropsch (RWGS‐FTS), as it is not limited by Anderson‐Schulz‐Flory distribution and yields...
Identifying the descriptors for synergistic catalytic activity of bifunctional oxide-zeolite catalysts constitutes a formidable challenge in realizing potential tandem hydrogenation CO2 to hydrocarbons (HC) sustainable fuel production. Herein, we combined CH3OH synthesis from and H2 on In2O3 methanol-to-hydrocarbons (MTH) conversion HZSM-5 discerned by leveraging distance-dependent reactivity admixtures. We modulated distance between redox sites acid milliscale (∼10 mm) microscale (∼300 μm)...
To alleviate detrimental effects associated with anthropogenic emissions, the use of CO2 and H2 as feedstocks for their conversion to dimethyl ether (DME) tandem catalysts is an attractive sustainable route.
