Engineering Heterostructured Nanocatalysts for CO₂ Transformation Reactions: Advances and Perspectives

Abstract

After postdoctoral research at the University of Tokyo and the University of California at Berkeley, at the end of 2003, he joined the faculty of Peking University. His research focuses on fundamental studies of catalyst structures and reaction mechanisms, towards the design of heterogeneous catalysts and control of reaction pathways for selective conversion of biomass and its derivatives into chemicals, as well as other reactions important in renewable energy conversion and utilization.

An insight of CO 2 hydrogenation to methanol synthesis: Thermodynamics, catalysts, operating parameters, and reaction mechanism

“…9,10 Thus, reasonable external energy input, as well as heterogeneous catalysts, is required to transform CO 2 into value-added chemicals and fuels. 11,12 In recent years, the utilization of CO 2 has received momentous attention from various research groups. However, the conversion of CO 2 into methanol, dimethyl ether (DME), dimethyl carbonate (DMC), alcohols, and olefins has evolved as an active scientific research area in recent years for effective utilization of CO 2 .…”

Recycling Carbon Resources from Waste PET to Reduce Carbon Dioxide Emission: Carbonization Technology Review and Perspective

“…The inorganic materials are mainly calcite and hydrotalcite, and the organic materials are mainly urea, methanol, salicylic acid and cyclic carbonates, etc. [110,123]. These chemical monomers are accessible to prepare polymers and then plastic products in a closed cycle.…”

Nanoreactor Engineering Can Unlock New Possibilities for CO2 Tandem Catalytic Conversion to CC Coupled Products

“…These confinement effects prevent carbon deposits from accumulating and sintering while providing a homogeneous reaction environment, both as a protective and performance‐enhancing feature. [ 216 , 217 ] At the same time, it is easier for more complex reactions to occur due to increased internal pressure. These nanoreactors exhibit improved performance due to simultaneous reaction capability, higher product selectivity, and larger active surface area compared to conventional materials.…”
