Applications of zeolite-based catalysts in CO_2 utilization

Journal Title: Energy Environmental Protection - Year 2023, Vol 37, Issue 2

Abstract

Development of highly efficient CO_2 conversion technologies is key to advancing carbon capture and unitization (CCU), being very important to achieve the China′s carbon neutral climate goals. Zeolites are microporous and crystalline aluminosilicates with good stability and have shown the promise to be applied as the catalysts to promote CO_2 conversion processes. Here, this review provides the state-of-the-art advances of zeolite-based catalysts for CO_2 conversion with special focus on CO_2/CH_4 dryreforming, CO_2 hydrogenation and that promoted by non-thermal plasma activation. Based on the critical review, perspectives of rational design of zeolite-based catalysts are proposed to maximize CO_2 conversion and target product yield, which are exemplified by (1) manipulation of the physiochemical properties of zeolite-based catalysts for improving the selectivity and yield in direct CO_2 hydrogenationinto C^+_2 hydrocarbons (such as aromatics); (2) preparation of integrated zeolite-based catalysts using additive manufacturing techniques for high throughput CO_2 conversion processes; and (3) bespoke design of zeolite-based catalysts to be applied in the emerging fields such as electrocatalysis and nonthermal plasma catalysis.
