Abstract

Currently, global emissions of carbon dioxide (CO₂) have caused serious issues with environmental contamination and global warming. Thus, for the sustained development of a clean society, the highly efficient conversion of CO₂ into renewable liquid fuels and chemicals via greenery and novel chemical processes is very desirable. This chapter provides an overview of recent developments in efficient nanomaterial-based catalysts, which have led to several discoveries in the catalytic conversion of CO₂ into desired liquid fuels and chemicals. Various technologies are also summarized, such as photochemical and electrochemical CO₂ conversion. These two processes have received great attention because their prospective pathways can diminish the amount of atmospheric CO₂. In this chapter, recent research advances on the nanostructure catalysts and the general parameters for CO₂ conversion. Further increases in the selective formation of various desired reductive products, such as HCOOH/HCOO⁻, CO, CH₃OH, CH₃CH₂OH, CH₄, and C₂H₄, are also presented. An understanding of these topics is necessary to design novel nanomaterial catalysts for the efficient and selective reduction of CO₂.
