Carbon dioxide hydrogenation to aromatic hydrocarbons by using an iron/iron oxide nanocatalyst

Abstract: SummaryThe quest for renewable and cleaner energy sources to meet the rapid population and economic growth is more urgent than ever before. Being the most abundant carbon source in the atmosphere of Earth, CO2 can be used as an inexpensive C1 building block in the synthesis of aromatic fuels for internal combustion engines. We designed a process capable of synthesizing benzene, toluene, xylenes and mesitylene from CO2 and H2 at modest temperatures (T = 380 to 540 °C) employing Fe/Fe3O4 nanoparticles as catalys… Show more

“…Density functional theory confirmed that Fe 3 O 4 (111) surface can activate CO 2 efficiently . Indeed, Fe‐based catalysts, which are not only active for a synthesis of liquid hydrocarbons but also active for a RWGS reaction . As mentioned in the STA process, alkali promoters such as K and Na can enhance the carburization and surface basicity of the Fe 3 O 4 , thus they make the Fe‐based catalysts very active for the desired product formation with an improved conversion of CO 2 .…”

“…CO 2 , main green‐house gas (GHG), can also be a useful chemical feedstock for the synthesis of value‐added chemicals including aromatic monomers . The use of CO 2 as a chemical feedstock is a challenging task owing to its stable with a fully oxidized nature as well as the highest thermodynamical stability.…”

“…High conversion of CO 2 compared to CH 4 and the low H 2 :CO ratio (Figure ) revealed the contribution of the RWGS (CO 2 + H 2 = CO + H 2 O) . It is known that the RWGS can be catalyzed by iron . This comes from in‐situ reduction of NiFe 2 O 4 .…”
