Assessing the viability of K-Mo₂C for reverse water–gas shift scale-up: molecular to laboratory to pilot scale

Abstract

<p>Conversion of CO₂ to value-added chemicals and fuels is a potentially valuable route for renewable energy storage and a future CO₂-neutral economy. The first step is CO₂ conversion to CO...</p>

Mechanistic and multiscale aspects of thermo-catalytic CO2conversion to C1products

“…At the same reaction temperatures, K–Mo 2 C/γ-Al 2 O 3 (ref. 141 ) demonstrated also a good catalytic activity (50 g CO g cat −1 h −1 ), with a catalyst cost much lower than that of noble metals. At a higher temperature (600 °C), Cu/β-Mo 2 C (ref.…”

Two-dimensional molybdenum carbide 2D-Mo2C as a superior catalyst for CO2 hydrogenation

“…In a recent development, a highly active and selective K-Mo 2 C/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst for RWGS has been tested on the pilot scale (ca. 1 kg catalyst) 18 . The activity and selectivity of CO 2 hydrogenation catalysts based on molybdenum carbide can be affected by the C/Mo ratio in the catalyst 19 , 20 .…”

Identifying Commercial Opportunities for the Reverse Water Gas Shift Reaction

“…[ 8–10 ] The catalytic RWGS reaction, which converts CO 2 into carbon monoxide and water using hydrogen (Equation (1)), is investigated as a process for generating carbon monoxide (CO) or syngas (CO + H 2 ) and significant progress is being made towards scalable RWGS processes. [ 11 ] …”

“…[ 17 ] Pt, Pd, Rh, Ru, Au, Fe, Mo, Cu, Co, Ni based catalysts typically supported on metal oxides have been shown to catalyze RWGS. [ 11,18–48 ] Among these active metals, the first five are noble metals, they are generally popular in CO 2 utilization reaction because of their high hydrogenation activity. [ 20,24,28–31,33,39,41 ] However, the high cost hinders the large‐scale industry application.…”
