Photothermal catalytic C1 conversion on supported catalysts

Abstract

Photothermal catalysis has emerged as a robust approach for converting C1 feedstocks into valuable chemicals, providing a clean and sustainable alternative that reduces the carbon footprint and enables energy-efficient green synthesis. Supported metal materials are promising candidates for scaling up photothermal catalysis, as their photothermal properties can be precisely tailored to optimize energy conversion efficiency and product distribution for specific processes. In this review, we provide an in-depth examination of the application of supported catalysts in photothermal catalytic C1 chemistry, which begins with an introduction of the mechanism of photothermal catalysis and elucidation of the fundamental principles behind this process. An overview of the design strategies for supported catalysts follows, encompassing various techniques for tailoring their properties to meet specific catalytic requirements. Advancements made in utilizing supported catalysts for photothermal catalytic reactions in C1 chemistry are then highlighted. Finally, challenges in the fledgling field are summarized and valuable insights into the future development directions and focuses are provided. This comprehensive review is anticipated to offer a deeper understanding of the design, performance, and potential applications of supported catalysts in photothermal catalysis for C1 chemistry, transforming conventional chemical processes into ‘green’.
