Engineering catalyst interfaces for carbon dioxide utilization
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- CO2 hydrogenation provides the unique opportunity of valorizing this greenhouse gas to a variety of chemicals, and the selectivity towards a specific product relies in first place on the heterogeneous catalysts used to accelerate the rate of the reactions, whose properties are further dictated by their structure. Conventional heterogeneous catalysts consist of multiple elements in their metal and/or oxide form supported on oxide materials, and the interface between the metal(s) and the supporting oxide has been identified as a crucial aspect in achieving reactivity and selectivity beyond what can be obtained with individual components. This dissertation focuses on three types of catalyst interfaces, and the impact of their structure on CO2 hydrogenation reactions. This knowledge acquired during my PhD was utilized to design novel catalyst structures that achieved unprecedented activity and selectivity for CO2 hydrogenation towards valuable products.
