Plasmonic Cu-supported amorphous RuP for efficient photothermal CO₂ hydrogenation to CO.

ABSTRACT: The hydrogenation of carbon dioxide into profitable chemicals is a viable path toward achieving the objective of carbon neutrality. However, the typical approach for hydrogenation of CO₂ heavily relies on thermally driven catalysis at high temperatures, which is not aligned with the goals of carbon neutrality. Thus, there is a critical need to explore new catalytic methods for the high-efficiency conversion of CO₂. Herein, we present a new class of catalysts, featuring phosphorus-doped amorphous ruthenium nanoparticles supported on copper nanoparticles, which capitalizes on the plasmonic effects of copper to achieve the photothermal transformation of CO₂ to CO within a gas-solid flow system. Our findings indicated that the reaction efficiency in the presenc
