The reverse water gas shift reaction (RWGS) has attracted much attention as a potential means to widespread utilization of CO2 through the production synthesis gas. However, for commercial implementation RWGS at scales needed replace fossil feedstocks with CO2, new catalysts must be developed using earth abundant materials, and these suppress competing methanation completely while maintaining stable performance elevated temperatures high conversions producing large quantities water. Herein we identify molybdenum phosphide (MoP) nonprecious metal catalyst that satisfies requirements. Supported MoP undergoing minimal deactivation, opening up possibilities their use in utilization.
