CO₂ Hydrogenation on Ru Single-Atom Catalyst Encapsulated in Silicalite: a DFT and Microkinetic Modeling Study.

ABSTRACT: The critical levels of CO₂ emissions reached in the past decade have encouraged researchers into finding techniques to reduce the amount of anthropogenic CO₂ expelled to the atmosphere. One possibility is to capture the produced CO₂ from the source of emission or even from air (i.e., direct air capture) by porous materials (e.g., zeolites and MOFs). Among the different usages of captured CO₂, its conversion into light fuels such as methane, methanol, and formic acid is essential for ensuring the long-awaited circular economy. In the last years, single-atom catalysts encapsulated in zeolites have been considered to this purpose since they exhibit a high selectivity and activity with the minimum expression of catalytic species. In this study, a det
