TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of advances in CO2 hydrogenation to hydrocarbons that have been achieved recently in terms of catalyst design, catalytic performance and reaction mechanism from both experiments and density functional theory calculations.

TL;DR: The single atom Cu encapsulated on N-doped porous carbon catalysts are designed for reducing CO2 to acetone at low overpotentials and the active sites are identified as Cu coordination with four pyrrole-N atoms.

TL;DR: In this article, Co and N codoped porous carbons (Co-N-PCs) were constructed for enhanced peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation for environmental remediation.

TL;DR: In this article, density functional theory (DFT) calculations on Pd-Cu bimetallic catalysts reveal that the stepped PdCu(111) surface with coordinatively unsaturated Pd atoms exposed on the top is superior for CO 2 and H2 activation and for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol.

TL;DR: Density functional theory calculations were carried out to investigate the mechanism of CO2 hydrogenation in production of C1 and C2 hydrocarbons over Cu-Fe bimetallic catalyst CH* is found to be the most favorable monomeric species for production of CH4 and C 2H4 via coupling of two CH* species and subsequent hydrogenation as mentioned in this paper.
