Aqueous phase conversion of CO₂ into acetic acid over thermally transformed MIL-88B catalyst.

ABSTRACT: Sustainable production of acetic acid is a high priority due to its high global manufacturing capacity and numerous applications. Currently, it is predominantly synthesized via carbonylation of methanol, in which both the reactants are fossil-derived. Carbon dioxide transformation into acetic acid is highly desirable to achieve net zero carbon emissions, but significant challenges remain to achieve this efficiently. Herein, we report a heterogeneous catalyst, thermally transformed MIL-88B with Fe⁰ and Fe₃O₄ dual active sites, for highly selective acetic acid formation via methanol hydrocarboxylation. ReaxFF molecular simulation, and X-ray characterisation results show a thermally transformed MIL-88B catalyst consisting of highly dispersed Fe⁰/Fe(
