In the wake of rapid industrial development,the ever-increasing emissions of carbon dioxide(CO2)have given rise to environmental concerns,including climate change.Harnessing CO2,an abundant,non-toxic,and cost-effective C1 resource,through chemical catalysis to produce high-value-added chemicals presents a viable solution for the sustainable utilization of CO2 resources.This paper employs a first-person perspective and a personification approach to introduce the adsorption and activation mechanisms of CO2 molecules by several typical catalysts.
