Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

CO2 emission has been increasing due to the increasing global demand for energy consumption by the growing global population. Consequently, global warming has worsened over the years, inspiring researchers to explore possible methods for CO2 utilization to minimize net CO2 emissions. Over the years, many catalysts have been developed for CO2 utilization and have been reported in increasing numbers of publications in this field. This Special Issue aims to include recent and emerging strategies to develop new and enhanced materials for CO2 activation and adsorption, as well as the catalytic reactions involving CO2 (including electrochemical, photochemical, and biological conversion of CO2), together with the integrated processes for CO2 conversion and reduction. The scope of this Special Issue will focus on recent advancements in the synthesis of catalyst materials for CO2 conversion into synthetic fuels, polymers, organic carbonates, and intermediate products. Both experimental and theoretical analyses are welcomed. In addition to full-length articles and short communications, we also welcome the submission of review papers by experts in this area for publication in this Special Issue.

We would like to invite interested researchers to submit their research work in this Special Issue on “Nanocatalysts for CO2 Utilization”, as this will be an excellent opportunity to be peer-reviewed by researchers with wide expertise in the field of catalysis, particularly on CO2 catalytic utilization systems.

The x%Ni/Sm2O3-MnO (x = 0, 10, 15, 20) catalysts derived from SmMn2O5 mullite were prepared by solution combustion and impregnation method; auto-thermal reforming (ATR) of acetic acid (HAc) for hydrogen production was used to explore the metal-support effect induced by Ni loadings on the catalytic reforming activity and product distribution. The 15%Ni/Sm2O3-MnO catalyst exhibited optimal catalytic performance, which can be due to the appropriate Ni loading inducing a strong metal–support interaction to form a stable Ni/Sm2O3-MnO active center, while side reactions, such as methanation and ketonization, were well suppressed. According to characterizations, Sm2O3-MnO mixed oxides derived from SmMn2O5 mullite were formed with oxygen vacancies; nevertheless, loading of Ni metal further promoted the formation of oxygen vacancies, thus enhancing adsorption and activation of oxygen-containing intermediate species and resulting in higher reactivity with HAc conversion near 100% and hydrogen yield at 2.62 mol-H2/mol-HAc.
