The route of converting CO to CO by reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) reaction is of particular interest due to the direct use of CO as feedstock in many significant industrial processes. Here, an engineered cobalt-cobalt oxide core-shell catalyst (Co@CoO) with nanochains structure has been made for the efficient reduction of CO to useful CO. Owing to the excellent performance for H activation of metal nanoparticles and the enhanced absorption and activation for CO molecule of defective metal oxides, the unique synergistic effect of metallic Co and encapsulating coordinatively unsaturated CoO species shows high performance for clean generation of CO under moderate and practical conditions. Furthermore, with N-dopant into the defective CoO shell, the Co@CoO-N achieves the highest conversion of 19.2 % and an exceptional CO evolution rate of 96 mL min g at 523 K with a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 42,000 mL g h , which is comparable with the previously reported materials under identical conditions.

“…As a competing reaction in the synthesis of methanol, CO 2 hydrogenation to CO is also an efficient path for the conversion and storage of energy. CO is a basic chemical product that can be converted to a variety of hydrocarbons and energy‐rich chemicals using some mature technologies . Therefore, the technological breakthrough of CO 2 hydrogenation to produce methanol or CO will bring huge environmental and economic benefits .…”

CO 2 hydrogenation will be essential for a sustainable society if methanol and CO can be efficiently obtained using appropriate catalysts. In this paper, a highly efficient CuZnCeO x catalyst was synthesized using a parallel flow coprecipitation method, and was evaluated in CO 2 hydrogenation to produce methanol and CO. Interestingly, the catalyst shows excellent activity and stability, and the selectivity of the products can be controlled by the amount of CeO x . Characterization results show that a significant synergistic effect between Cu and metal oxides (ZnO and/or CeO x ) was observed at the composite catalysts. Cu plays a critical role in the activation of H 2 , and CeO x strongly adsorbs CO 2 . CeO x improved the dispersion of Cu nanoparticles and promoted the spillover of atomic hydrogen, which was beneficial to the generation of methanol. Meanwhile, ZnO exhibited weak adsorption ability for CO 2 , which was beneficial for the generation of CO. In addition, ZnO can significantly improve the dispersion of the CeO x nanoparticles. Both the dispersion of active sites and the activation abilities of CO 2 are critical for catalyst activity and product selectivity. Thus, the ternary catalyst CuZnCeO x shows higher performance than the binary catalysts (CuZnO x and CuCeO x ) in the CO 2 hydrogenation reaction. This paper provides a viable way to produce selectively methanol or CO from CO 2 hydrogenation.[a] Dr.

“…This option is particularly attractive, as CO 2 provides an essentially untapped source of carbon as aC 1 feedstock. CO 2 can be converted catalytically to other chemicals,s uch as CO, [8] methanol, [9] methane, [10] and dimethyl carbonate. [11] However, forC O 2 to be utilized, in most cases it must initially be activated through electron transfer,w hichr esults in ab ent CO 2 À anion.…”

Cu-based nanoparticles (NPs) are promising candidates for the catalytic hydrogenation of CO to useful chemicals because of their low cost. However, CO adsorption and activation on Cu is not feasible. In this work we demonstrate a computational framework that identifies Cu-based bimetallic NPs able to adsorb and activate CO based on DFT calculations. We screen a series of heteroatoms on Cu-based NPs based on their preference to occupy a surface site on the NP and to adsorb and activate CO . We revealed two descriptors for CO adsorption on the bimetallic NPs, the heteroatom (i) local d-band center and (ii) electropositivity, which both drive an effective charge transfer from the NP to CO . We identified the CuZr bimetallic NP as a candidate nanostructure for CO adsorption and showed that although the Zr sites can be oxidized because of their high oxophilicity, they are still able to adsorb and activate CO strongly. Importantly, our computational results are verified by targeted synthesis, characterization, and CO adsorption experiments that demonstrate that i) Zr segregates on the surface of Cu, ii) Zr is oxidized to form a bimetallic mixed CuZr oxide catalyst, which iii) can strongly adsorb CO , whereas Cu NPs cannot. Overall our work highlights the importance of the generation of binding sites on a NP surface based on (catalyst) stability and electronic structure properties, which can lead to the design of more effective CO reduction catalysts.
