Abstract
The effects of oxygen vacancy (VO) formation energy and surface frustrated Lewis acid-base pairs (SFLPs) on the CO2 hydrogenation activity of In2O3 catalysts were studied using density functional theory calculations. The VO formation energy of 2.8-3.3 eV was found to favor HCOO formation, whereas the presence of SFLPs is conducive to CO formation.

Multivariate Bayesian Optimization of CoO Nanoparticles for CO 2 Hydrogenation Catalysis. J Am Chem Soc 2024; 146:14246-14259.

Abstract
The hydrogenation of CO2 holds promise for transforming the production of renewable fuels and chemicals. However, the challenge lies in developing robust and selective catalysts for this process. Transition metal oxide catalysts, particularly cobalt oxide, have shown potential for CO2 hydrogenation, with performance heavily reliant on crystal phase and morphology. Achieving precise control over these catalyst attributes through colloidal nanoparticle synthesis could pave the way for catalyst and process advancement. Yet, navigating the complexities of colloidal nanoparticle syntheses, governed by numerous input variables, poses a significant challenge in systematically controlling resultant catalyst features. We present a multivariate Bayesian optimization, coupled with a data-driven classifier, to map the synthetic design space for colloidal CoO nanoparticles and simultaneously optimize them for multiple catalytically relevant features within a target crystalline phase. The optimized experimental conditions yielded small, phase-pure rock salt CoO nanoparticles of uniform size and shape. These optimized nanoparticles were then supported on SiO2 and assessed for thermocatalytic CO2 hydrogenation against larger, polydisperse CoO nanoparticles on SiO2 and a conventionally prepared catalyst. The optimized CoO/SiO2 catalyst consistently exhibited higher activity and CH4 selectivity (ca. 98%) across various pretreatment reduction temperatures as compared to the other catalysts. This remarkable performance was attributed to particle stability and consistent H* surface coverage, even after undergoing the highest temperature reduction, achieving a more stable catalytic species that resists sintering and carbon occlusion.

CHEMSUSCHEM 2024:e202400543. [PMID: 38691099 DOI: 10.1002/cssc.202400543] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2024] [Revised: 04/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/03/2024]
Abstract
CO2 hydrogenation to methanol has emerged as a promising strategy for achieving carbon neutrality and mitigating global warming, in which the supported Pd/In2O3 catalysts are attracting great attention due to their high selectivity. Nonetheless, conventional impregnation methods induce strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) between Pd and In2O3, which leads to the excessive reduction of In2O3 and the formation of undesirable PdIn alloy in hydrogen-rich atmospheres. Herein, we innovatively synthesized Pd/In2O3 nanocatalysts by the electrostatic self-assembly process between surface-modified composite precursors with opposite charges. And the organic ligands concurrently serve as Pd nanoparticle protective agents. The resultant Pd/In2O3 nanocatalyst demonstrates the homogeneous distribution of Pd nanoparticles with controllable sizes on In2O3 supports and the limited formation of PdIn alloy. As a result, it exhibits superior selectivity and stability compared to the counterparts synthesized by the conventional impregnation procedure. Typically, it attains a maximum methanol space-time yield of 0.54 gMeOH h-1gcat -1 (300 °C, 3.5 MPa, 21,000 mL gcat -1 h-1). Notably, the correlation characterization results reveal the significant effect of small-size, highly dispersed Pd nanoparticles in mitigating MSI. These results provide an alternative strategy for synthesizing highly efficient Pd/In2O3 catalysts and offer a new insight into the strong metal-support interaction.

Abstract
Metal promotion could unlock high performance in zinc-zirconium catalysts, ZnZrOx, for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. Still, with most efforts devoted to costly palladium, the optimal metal choice and necessary atomic-level architecture remain unclear. Herein, we investigate the promotion of ZnZrOx catalysts with small amounts (0.5 mol%) of diverse hydrogenation metals (Re, Co, Au, Ni, Rh, Ag, Ir, Ru, Pt, Pd, and Cu) prepared via a standardized flame spray pyrolysis approach. Cu emerges as the most effective promoter, doubling methanol productivity. Operando X-ray absorption, infrared, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopic analyses and density functional theory simulations reveal that Cu0 species form Zn-rich low-nuclearity CuZn clusters on the ZrO2 surface during reaction, which correlates with the generation of oxygen vacancies in their vicinity. Mechanistic studies demonstrate that this catalytic ensemble promotes the rapid hydrogenation of intermediate formate into methanol while effectively suppressing CO production, showcasing the potential of low-nuclearity metal ensembles in CO2-based methanol synthesis.

Abstract
The efficient and economic conversion of CO2 and renewable H2 into methanol has received intensive attention due to growing concern for anthropogenic CO2 emissions, particularly from fossil fuel combustion. Herein, we have developed a novel method for preparing Ni/In2O3 nanocatalysts by using porous MIL-68(In) and nickel(II) acetylacetonate (Ni(acac)2) as the dual precursors of In2O3 and Ni components, respectively. Combined with in-depth characterization analysis, it was revealed that the utilization of MIL-68(In) as precursors favored the good distribution of Ni nanoparticles (∼6.2 nm) on the porous In2O3 support and inhibited the metal sintering at high temperatures. The varied catalyst fabrication parameters were explored, indicating that the designed Ni/In2O3 catalyst (Ni content of 5 wt %) exhibited better catalytic performance than the compared catalyst prepared using In(OH)3 as a precursor of In2O3. The obtained Ni/In2O3 catalyst also showed excellent durability in long-term tests (120 h). However, a high Ni loading (31 wt %) would result in the formation of the Ni-In alloy phase during the CO2 hydrogenation which favored CO formation with selectivity as high as 69%. This phenomenon is more obvious if Ni and In2O3 had a strong interaction, depending on the catalyst fabrication methods. In addition, with the aid of in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the Ni/In2O3 catalyst predominantly follows the formate pathway in the CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, with HCOO* and *H3CO as the major intermediates, while the small size of Ni particles is beneficial to the formation of formate species based on DFT calculation. This study suggests that the Ni/In2O3 nanocatalyst fabricated using metal-organic frameworks as precursors can effectively promote CO2 thermal hydrogenation to methanol.

Abstract
The catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide is one of the important ways to achieve the goal of carbon neutralization, which can be further divided into electrocatalysis, thermal catalysis, and photocatalysis. Although photocatalysis and electrocatalysis have the advantages of mild reaction conditions and low energy consumption, the thermal catalytic conversion of CO2 has larger processing capacity, better reduction effect, and more complete industrial foundation, which is a promising technology in the future. During the development of new technology from laboratory to industrial application, ensuring the safety of production process is essential. In this work, safety optimization design of equipment, safety performance of catalysts, accident types, and their countermeasures in the industrial applications of CO2 to methanol are reviewed and discussed in depth. Based on that, future research demands for industrial process safety of CO2 to methanol were proposed, which provide guidance for the large-scale application of CO2 thermal catalytic conversion technology.

Abstract
The structure of catalysts determines the performance of catalytic processes. Intrinsically, the electronic and geometric structures influence the interaction between active species and the surface of the catalyst, which subsequently regulates the adsorption, reaction, and desorption behaviors. In recent decades, the development of catalysts with complex structures, including bulk, interfacial, encapsulated, and atomically dispersed structures, can potentially affect the electronic and geometric structures of catalysts and lead to further control of the transport and reaction of molecules. This review describes comprehensive understandings on the influence of electronic and geometric properties and complex catalyst structures on the performance of relevant heterogeneous catalytic processes, especially for the transport and reaction over structured catalysts for the conversions of light alkanes and small molecules. The recent research progress of the electronic and geometric properties over the active sites, specifically for theoretical descriptors developed in the recent decades, is discussed at the atomic level. The designs and properties of catalysts with specific structures are summarized. The transport phenomena and reactions over structured catalysts for the conversions of light alkanes and small molecules are analyzed. At the end of this review, we present our perspectives on the challenges for the further development of structured catalysts and heterogeneous catalytic processes.

Abstract
CO2 hydrogenation to methanol has the potential to serve as a sustainable route to a wide variety of hydrocarbons, fuels and plastics in the quest for net zero. Synergistic Pd/In2 O3 (Palldium on Indium Oxide) catalysts show high CO2 conversion and methanol selectivity, enhancing methanol yield. The identity of the optimal active site for this reaction is unclear, either as a Pd-In alloy, proximate metals, or distinct sites. In this work, we demonstrate that metal-efficient Pd/In2 O3 species dispersed on Al2 O3 can match the performance of pure Pd/In2 O3 systems. Further, we follow the evolution of both Pd and In sites, and surface species, under operando reaction conditions using X-ray Absorption Spectroscpy (XAS) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy. In doing so, we can determine both the nature of the active sites and the influence on the catalytic mechanism.

Abstract
Ternary Pd-In2 O3 /ZrO2 catalysts exhibit technological potential for CO2 -based methanol synthesis, but developing scalable systems and comprehending complex dynamic behaviors of the active phase, promoter, and carrier are key for achieving high productivity. Here, we show that the structure of Pd-In2 O3 /ZrO2 systems prepared by wet impregnation evolves under CO2 hydrogenation conditions into a selective and stable architecture, independent of the order of addition of Pd and In phases on the zirconia carrier. Detailed operando characterization and simulations reveal a rapid restructuring driven by the metal-metal oxide interaction energetics. The proximity of InPdx alloy particles decorated by InOx layers in the resulting architecture prevents performance losses associated with Pd sintering. The findings highlight the crucial role of reaction-induced restructuring in complex CO2 hydrogenation catalysts and offer insights into the optimal integration of acid-base and redox functions for practical implementation.

Abstract
In-plane sulfur vacancies (Sv) in molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) were newly unveiled for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, whereas edge Sv were found to facilitate methane formation. Thus, selective exposure and activation of basal plane is crucial for methanol synthesis. Here, we report a mesoporous silica-encapsulated MoS2 catalysts with fullerene-like structure and atomic copper (Cu/MoS2@SiO2). The main approach is based on a physically constrained topologic conversion of molybdenum dioxide (MoO2) to MoS2 within silica. The spherical curvature enables the generation of strain and Sv in inert basal plane. More importantly, fullerene-like structure of few-layer MoS2 can selectively expose in-plane Sv and reduce the exposure of edge Sv. After promotion by atomic copper, the resultant Cu/MoS2@SiO2 exhibits stable specific methanol yield of 6.11 molMeOH molMo-1 h-1 with methanol selectivity of 72.5% at 260 °C, much superior to its counterparts lacking the fullerene-like structure and copper decoration. The reaction mechanism and promoting role of copper are investigated by in-situ DRIFTS and in-situ XAS. Theoretical calculations demonstrate that the compressive strain facilitates Sv formation and CO2 hydrogenation, while tensile strain accelerates the regeneration of active sites, rationalizing the critical role of strain.

Abstract
Construction of a "net-zero-emission" system through CO2 hydrogenation to methanol with solar energy is an eco-friendly way to mitigate the greenhouse effect. Traditional CO2 hydrogenation demands centralized mass production for cost reduction with mass water electrolysis for hydrogen supply. To achieve continuous reaction with intermittent and fluctuating flow of H2 on a small-scale for distributed application scenarios, modulating the catalyst interface environment and chemical adsorption capacity to adapt fluctuating reaction conditions is highly desired. This paper describes a distributed clean CO2 utilization system in which the surface structure of catalysts is carefully regulated. The Ni catalyst with unsaturated electrons loaded on In2 O3 can reduce the dissociation energy of H2 to overcome the slow response of intermittent H2 supply, exhibiting a faster response (12 min) than bare oxide catalysts (42 min). Moreover, the introduction of Ni enhances the sensitivity of the catalyst to hydrogen, yielding a Ni/In2 O3 catalyst with a good performance at lower H2 concentrations with a 15 times adaptability for wider hydrogen fluctuation range than In2 O3 , greatly reducing the negative impact of unstable H2 supplies derived from renewable energies.

Abstract
Climate change is becoming increasingly more pronounced every day while the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere continues to rise. CO2 reduction to valuable chemicals is an approach that has gathered substantial attention as a means to recycle these gases. Herein, some of the tandem catalysis approaches that can be used to achieve the transformation of CO2 to C-C coupled products are explored, focusing especially on tandem catalytic schemes where there is a big opportunity to improve performance by designing effective catalytic nanoreactors. Recent reviews have highlighted the technical challenges and opportunities for advancing tandem catalysis, especially highlighting the need for elucidating structure-activity relationships and mechanisms of reaction through theoretical and in situ/operando characterization techniques. In this review, the focus is on nanoreactor synthesis strategies as a critical research direction, and discusses these in the context of two main tandem pathways (CO-mediated pathway and Methanol-mediated pathway) to C-C coupled products.

Abstract
Well-dispersed PdIn bimetallic alloy nanoparticles (1-4 nm) were immobilized on mesostructured silica by an in situ capture-alloying strategy, and PdIn-In2O3 interfaces were rationally constructed by changing the In2O3 loading and reduction temperature. The catalytic performance for benzyl alcohol partial oxidation was evaluated, and a catalytic synergy was observed. The Pd-rich PdIn-In2O3 interface is prone to be formed on the catalyst with a low In2O3 loading after being reduced at 300 °C. It was demonstrated that the Pd-rich PdIn-In2O3 interface was more active for benzyl alcohol partial oxidation than In-rich Pd2In3 species, which was likely to be formed at a high reduction temperature (400 °C). The high catalytic activity on the Pd-rich PdIn-In2O3 interface was attributed to the exposure of more Pd-enriched active sites, and an optimized PdIn-In2O3/Pd assemble ratio enhanced the oxygen transfer during partial oxidation. The density functional theory (DFT) calculation confirmed that the Pd-rich Pd3In1(111)-In2O3 interface facilitated the activation of oxygen molecules, resulting in high catalytic activity.

Abstract
Ni-promoted indium oxide (In2O3) is a promising catalyst for the selective hydrogenation of CO2 to CH3OH, but the nature of the active Ni sites remains unknown. By employing density functional theory and microkinetic modeling, we elucidate the promoting role of Ni in In2O3-catalyzed CO2 hydrogenation. Three representative models have been investigated: (i) a single Ni atom doped in the In2O3(111) surface, (ii) a Ni atom adsorbed on In2O3(111), and (iii) a small cluster of eight Ni atoms adsorbed on In2O3(111). Genetic algorithms (GAs) are used to identify the optimum structure of the Ni8 clusters on the In2O3 surface. Compared to the pristine In2O3(111) surface, the Ni8-cluster model offers a lower overall barrier to oxygen vacancy formation, whereas, on both single-atom models, higher overall barriers are found. Microkinetic simulations reveal that only the supported Ni8 cluster can lead to high methanol selectivity, whereas single Ni atoms either doped in or adsorbed on the In2O3 surface mainly catalyze CO formation. Hydride species obtained by facile H2 dissociation on the Ni8 cluster are involved in the hydrogenation of adsorbed CO2 to formate intermediates and methanol. At higher temperatures, the decreasing hydride coverage shifts the selectivity to CO. On the Ni8-cluster model, the formation of methane is inhibited by high barriers associated with either direct or H-assisted CO activation. A comparison with a smaller Ni6 cluster also obtained with GAs exhibits similar barriers for key rate-limiting steps for the formation of CO, CH4, and CH3OH. Further microkinetic simulations show that this model also has appreciable selectivity to methanol at low temperatures. The formation of CO over single Ni atoms either doped in or adsorbed on the In2O3 surface takes place via a redox pathway involving the formation of oxygen vacancies and direct CO2 dissociation.

Abstract
The catalytic hydrogenation of captured CO2 by different industrial processes allows obtaining liquid biofuels and some chemical products that not only present the interest of being obtained from a very low-cost raw material (CO2) that indeed constitutes an environmental pollution problem but also constitute an energy vector, which can facilitate the storage and transport of very diverse renewable energies. Thus, the combined use of green H2 and captured CO2 to obtain chemical products and biofuels has become attractive for different processes such as power-to-liquids (P2L) and power-to-gas (P2G), which use any renewable power to convert carbon dioxide and water into value-added, synthetic renewable E-fuels and renewable platform molecules, also contributing in an important way to CO2 mitigation. In this regard, there has been an extraordinary increase in the study of supported metal catalysts capable of converting CO2 into synthetic natural gas, according to the Sabatier reaction, or in dimethyl ether, as in power-to-gas processes, as well as in liquid hydrocarbons by the Fischer-Tropsch process, and especially in producing methanol by P2L processes. As a result, the current review aims to provide an overall picture of the most recent research, focusing on the last five years, when research in this field has increased dramatically.

depends critically on the adsorption energy of hydrogen. Here we use density functional theory calculations to investigate hydrogen adsorption over Pd–In intermetallic compound surfaces with different Pd:In ratios. The electronic structure and properties of hydrogen adsorption are investigated for a range of surface facets and compared to the corresponding results for the pure parent metals and Cu. Increased In content is found to shift the Pd(d) density of states away from the Fermi level, making the intermetallic Pd–In compounds to appear “Cu-like”. We find a linear correlation between the hydrogen binding energy and the d-band center of surface Pd atoms. Understanding of how the hydrogen adsorption energy depends on composition and structure provides a possibility to enhance the performance of $$\hbox {CO}_2$$

Abstract
Palladium promotion and deposition on monoclinic zirconia are effective strategies to boost the performance of bulk In2O3 in CO2-to-methanol and could unlock superior reactivity if well integrated into a single catalytic system. However, harnessing synergic effects of the individual components is crucial and very challenging as it requires precise control over their assembly. Herein, we present ternary Pd-In2O3-ZrO2 catalysts prepared by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) with remarkable methanol productivity and improved metal utilization, surpassing their binary counterparts. Unlike established impregnation and co-precipitation methods, FSP produces materials combining low-nuclearity palladium species associated with In2O3 monolayers highly dispersed on the ZrO2 carrier, whose surface partially transforms from a tetragonal into a monoclinic-like structure upon reaction. A pioneering protocol developed to quantify oxygen vacancies using in situ electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy reveals their enhanced generation because of this unique catalyst architecture, thereby rationalizing its high and sustained methanol productivity. Assembling multicomponent catalysts to harness synergic effects is challenging. Now, flame spray pyrolysis permits the synthesis of ternary Pd-In2O3-ZrO2 catalysts with an optimal architecture and an enriched density of oxygen vacancies for maximal performance in CO2-based methanol synthesis.

Abstract
The effect of the ZrO2 content on the performance (activity, selectivity, stability) of In2O3-ZrO2 catalyst has been studied on the hydrogenation of CO2/CO mixtures. This effect is a key feature for the viability of using In2O3-ZrO2/SAPO-34 tandem catalysts for the direct conversion of CO2 and syngas into olefins via oxygenates as intermediates. The interest of co-feeding syngas together with CO2 resides in jointly valorizing syngas derived from biomass or wastes (via gasification) and supplying the required H2. The experiments of methanol synthesis and direct synthesis of olefins, with In2O3-ZrO2 and In2O3-ZrO2/SAPO-34 catalysts, respectively, have been carried out under the appropriate conditions for the direct olefins synthesis (400 °C, 30 bar, H2/COX ratio = 3) in an isothermal fixed bed reactor at low space time values (kinetic conditions) to evaluate the behavior and deactivation of the catalysts. The Zr/In ratio of 1/2 favors the conversion of CO2 and COX, attaining good oxygenates selectivity, and prevents the sintering attributable to the over-reduction of the In2O3 (more significant for syngas feeds). The improvement is more remarkable in the direct olefins synthesis, where the thermodynamic equilibrium of methanol formation is displaced, and methanation suppressed (in a greater extent for feeds with high CO content). With the In2O3-ZrO2/SAPO-34 tandem catalysts, the conversion of COx almost 5 folds respect oxygenates synthesis with In2O3-ZrO2 catalyst, meaning the yield of the target products boosts from ∼0.5% of oxygenates to >3% of olefins (selectivity >70%) for mixtures of CO2/COX of 0.5, where an optimum performance has been obtained.

Abstract
Creating synergetic metal-oxide interfaces is a promising strategy to promote the catalytic performance of heterogeneous catalysts. However, this strategy has been mainly applied to monometallic catalysts, while scarcely applied to alloy catalysts. In this work, we present a comprehensive study on the synergetic alloy-oxide interfaces in the bimetallic Pt-Co/Al2O3 catalysts for CO oxidation. A series of Pt1Cox/Al2O3 catalysts with various Co/Pt molar ratios with x ranging from 0.5 to 3.8 was synthesized via a facile wet-chemistry strategy. Among them, the Pt1Co0.5/Al2O3 catalyst exhibits the best catalytic performance for CO oxidation, with the lowest CO complete conversion temperature of -10 °C and the highest mass specific rate of 2.61 (mol CO) h-1 (g Pt)-1. From in situ X-ray absorption fine structure and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier-transform spectroscopy studies, the superior catalytic performance of Pt1Co0.5/Al2O3 originates from the optimal length of the three-dimensional alloy-oxide perimeter sites. We further extended this strategy to other bimetallic systems of Pt-Fe and Pt-Ni, which also show similar structural properties and remarkable promotional effects on the catalytic activity.

Abstract
Hydrogenation of CO2 to form methanol utilizing green hydrogen is a promising route to realizing carbon neutrality. However, the development of catalyst with high activity and selectivity to methanol from the CO2 hydrogenation is still a challenge due to the chemical inertness of CO2 and its characteristics of multi-path conversion. Herein, a series of highly active carbon-confining molybdenum sulfide (MoS2@C) catalysts were prepared by the in-situ pyrolysis method. In comparison with the bulk MoS2 and MoS2/C, the stronger interaction between MoS2 and the carbon layer was clearly generated. Under the optimized reaction conditions, MoS2@C showed better catalytic performance and long-term stability. The MoS2@C catalyst could sustain around 32.4% conversion of CO2 with 94.8% selectivity of MeOH for at least 150 h.

Abstract
Searching for an optimal component and composition of multi-metallic alloy catalysts, comprising two or more elements, is one of the key issues in catalysis research. Due to the exhaustive data requirement of conventional machine-learning (ML) models and the high cost of experimental trials, current approaches rely mainly on the combination of density functional theory and ML techniques. In this study, a significant step is taken toward overcoming limitations by the interplay of experiment and active learning to effectively search for an optimal component and composition of multi-metallic alloy catalysts. The active-learning model is iteratively updated using by examining electrocatalytic performance of fabricated solid-solution nanoparticles for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). An optimal metal precursor composition of Pt0.65 Ru0.30 Ni0.05 exhibits an HER overpotential of 54.2 mV, which is superior to that of the pure Pt catalyst. This result indicates the successful construction of the model by only utilizing the precursor mixture composition as input data, thereby improving the overpotential by searching for an optimal catalyst. This method appears to be widely applicable since it is able to determine an optimal component and composition of electrocatalyst without obvious restriction to the types of catalysts to which it can be applied.

Abstract
High-efficiency utilization of CO2 facilitates the reduction of CO2 concentration in the global atmosphere and hence the alleviation of the greenhouse effect. The catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to produce value-added chemicals exhibits attractive prospects by potentially building energy recycling loops. Particularly, methanol is one of the practically important objective products, and the catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to synthesize methanol has been extensively studied. In this review, we focus on some basic concepts on CO2 activation, the recent research advances in the catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol, the development of high-performance catalysts, and microscopic insight into the reaction mechanisms. Finally, some thinking on the present research and possible future trend is presented.

Abstract
Supported metal catalysts have shown to be efficient for CO2 conversion due to their multifunctionality and high stability. Herein, we have combined density functional theory calculations with microkinetic modeling to investigate the catalytic reaction mechanisms of CO2 hydrogenation to CH3OH over a recently reported catalyst of Cd4/TiO2. Calculations reveal that the metal‐oxide interface is the active center for CO2 hydrogenation and methanol formation via the formate pathway dominates over the reverse water‐gas shift (RWGS) pathway. Microkinetic modeling demonstrated that formate species on the surface of Cd4/TiO2 is the relevant intermediate for the production of CH3OH, and CH2O# formation is the rate‐determining step. These findings demonstrate the crucial role of the Cd‐TiO2 interface for controlling the CO2 reduction reactivity and CH3OH selectivity.

Abstract
Indium oxide (In2O3) is a promising catalyst for selective CH3OH synthesis from CO2 but displays insufficient activity at low reaction temperatures. By screening a range of promoters (Co, Ni, Cu, and Pd) in combination with In2O3 using flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) synthesis, Ni is identified as the most suitable first-row transition-metal promoter with similar performance as Pd-In2O3. NiO-In2O3 was optimized by varying the Ni/In ratio using FSP. The resulting catalysts including In2O3 and NiO end members have similar high specific surface areas and morphology. The main products of CO2 hydrogenation are CH3OH and CO with CH4 being only observed at high NiO loading (≥75 wt %). The highest CH3OH rate (∼0.25 gMeOH/(gcat h), 250 °C, and 30 bar) is obtained for a NiO loading of 6 wt %. Characterization of the as-prepared catalysts reveals a strong interaction between Ni cations and In2O3 at low NiO loading (≤6 wt %). H2-TPR points to a higher surface density of oxygen vacancy (Ov) due to Ni substitution. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and electron paramagnetic resonance analysis of the used catalysts suggest that Ni cations can be reduced to Ni as single atoms and very small clusters during CO2 hydrogenation. Supportive density functional theory calculations indicate that Ni promotion of CH3OH synthesis from CO2 is mainly due to low-barrier H2 dissociation on the reduced Ni surface species, facilitating hydrogenation of adsorbed CO2 on Ov.

Abstract
Pd/ZnO catalysts show good activity and high selectivity to methanol during catalytic CO2 hydrogenation. The Pd‐Zn alloy phase has usually been considered as the active phase, though mechanistic studies under operando conditions have not been conducted to verify this. Here, we report a mechanistic study under realistic conditions of methanol synthesis, using in situ and operando X‐ray absorption spectroscopy, X‐ray powder diffraction, and time‐resolved isotope labeling experiments coupled with FTIR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Pd‐Zn alloy‐based catalysts, prepared through reduction of a heterobimetallic PdIIZnII acetate bridge complex, and which do not contain zinc oxide or any PdZn/ZnO interface, produce mostly CO. The Pd‐Zn phase is associated with the formation of CO, and does not provide the active sites required to produce methanol from the direct hydrogenation of carbon dioxide. The presence of a ZnO phase, in contact with a Pd‐Zn phase, is essential for efficient methanol production.

Abstract
The impact of carbon monoxide on CO2 -to-methanol catalysts has been scarcely investigated, although CO will comprise up to half of the carbon feedstock, depending on the origin of CO2 and process configuration. In this study, copper-based systems and ZnO-ZrO2 are assessed in cycling experiments with hybrid CO2 -CO feeds and their CO sensitivity is compared to In2 O3 -based materials. All catalysts are found to be promoted upon CO addition. Copper-based systems are intrinsically more active in CO hydrogenation and profit from exploiting this carbon source for methanol production, whereas CO induces surplus formation of oxygen vacancies (i. e., the catalytic sites) on ZnO-ZrO2 , as in In2 O3 -based systems. Mild-to-moderate deactivation occurs upon re-exposure to CO2 -rich streams, owing to water-induced sintering for all catalysts except ZnO-ZrO2 , which responds reversibly to feed variations, likely owing to its more hydrophobic nature and the atomic mixing of its metal components. Catalytic systems are categorized for operation in hybrid CO2 -CO feeds, emphasizing the significance of catalyst and process design to foster advances in CO2 utilization technologies.

Abstract
A series of oxidative treatments of PdIn-supported intermetallic nanoparticles at different temperatures were performed. The bulk and surface structure of catalyst during phase transformation was investigated by bulk- and surface-sensitive techniques (in situ XAFS, DRIFTS of adsorbed CO). It was found that comparison of palladium and indium fractions in bulk and on the surface suggests the formation of a «core-shell» structure. According to obtained results, the core consists of In-depleted intermetallic compound or inhomogeneous bimetallic phase with the inner core of metallic Pd, when a mixture of indium oxide, metallic palladium and small part of PdIn is present on the surface.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the iconic greenhouse gas and the major factor driving present global climate change, incentivizing its capture and recycling into valuable products and fuels. The 6H+/6e- reduction of CO2 affords CH3OH, a key compound that is a fuel and a platform molecule. In this Review, we compare different routes for CO2 reduction to CH3OH, namely, heterogeneous and homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation, as well as enzymatic catalysis, photocatalysis and electrocatalysis. We describe the leading catalysts and the conditions under which they operate, and then consider their advantages and drawbacks in terms of selectivity, productivity, stability, operating conditions, cost and technical readiness. At present, heterogeneous hydrogenation catalysis and electrocatalysis have the greatest promise for large-scale CO2 reduction to CH3OH. The availability and price of sustainable electricity appear to be essential prerequisites for efficient CH3OH synthesis.
