Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the process of human sustainable development, the continuous consumption of fossil energy and the increasing energy demand is a huge contradiction and challenge. The thermal-catalytic of C1 molecules (including CO2, CO, CH4, CH3OH, etc.) as sources is considered a promising solution to this challenge. Sustainable technology catalysis processes are central to various chemicals and liquid fuels production from C1 molecules.

This special issue, titled "New Perspective on Sustainable Technology of C1 Molecules Utilization", mainly includes the latest perspective and advances in sustainable technology of C1 catalysis processes, aiming to provide an in-depth understanding of novel catalysis and catalysts for value-added chemicals and clean liquid fuels synthesis and applications from sustainable C1 molecules. Submissions of all research (experimental and theoretical) within the scope of this special issue are welcome, including original research and review articles, short communications, and opinion pieces.

Here, we report a Na-promoted FeCu-based catalyst with excellent liquid hydrocarbon selectivity and catalytic activity. The physiochemical properties of the catalysts were comprehensively characterized by various characterization techniques. The characterization results indicate that the catalytic performance of the catalysts was closely related to the nature of the metal promoters. The Na-AlFeCu possessed the highest CO2 conversion due to enhanced CO2 adsorption of the catalysts by the introduction of Al species. The introduction of excess Mg promoter led to a strong methanation activity of the catalyst. Mn and Ga promoters exhibited high selectivity for light hydrocarbons due to their inhibition of iron carbides generation, resulting in a lack of chain growth capacity. The Na-ZnFeCu catalyst exhibited the optimal C5+ yield, owing to the fact that the Zn promoter improved the catalytic activity and liquid hydrocarbon selectivity by modulating the surface CO2 adsorption and carbide content. Carbon dioxide (CO2) hydrogenation to liquid fuel is considered a method for the utilization and conversion of CO2, whereas satisfactory activity and selectivity remains a challenge. This method provides a new idea for the catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 and from there the preparation of high-value-added products. Full article
