Research advances on photo-assisted CO2 conversion to methanol

扫码查看
Overuse of fossil fuel energy contributes to excessive CO2 emissions into the air,causing a range of environmental problems,which force people to change this situation.The proposal of the"carbon peak"and"carbon neutrality"strategies marked a new level of awareness of CO2 emissions.Utilizing the extensive and sustainable solar energy to transform CO2 into valuable chemicals is a promising avenue.In particular,the solar-assisted i conversion of CO2 into methanol provides an effective method of storing carbon resources,thereby alleviating the environmental problems caused by CO2.In addition,the storage of solar energy in chemical energy could also alleviate the associated energy shortage issue.This review summarizes the latest achievements of catalysts in methanol synthesis from CO2 via photocatalysis,photothermal synergistic catalysis,and photoelectric synergistic catalysis.The advantages and shortages of each category of catalysts are pointed out and the future development perspectives are presented,hopefully facilitating the design and development of relevant photocatalysts.
