Catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) using coal-based nano-carbon materials

Abstract

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a prominent greenhouse gas and a widely available carbon resource. The chemical conversion of CO2 into high-value chemicals and fuels is a significant approach for mitigating carbon emissions and attaining carbon neutrality. However, enhancing CO2 adsorption and conversion rates remains a primary challenge in CO2 recycling. The development of high-performance catalysts is pivotal for the catalytic conversion of CO2. In this context, coal-based carbon materials, characterized by their extensive specific surface area and adaptable chemical composition, can offer more reactive active sites and have robust CO2 adsorption capabilities. They can function as either standalone catalysts or as components of composite catalysts, making them promising materials for CO2 reduction. The use of affordable and abundant coal as a precursor for carbon materials represents a crucial avenue for achieving clean and efficient coal utilization. This paper reviews the progress of research on coal-based carbon materials and examines their advantages and challenges as catalysts for CO2 reduction.
