The Universal Role of Gallium in Promoting Methanol Formation across CO₂ Hydrogenation Catalysts.

ABSTRACT: ConspectusThe production of value-added chemicals from CO₂ has been a thriving topic of research for the past few decades because of its contribution to a circular carbon economy. Combined with CO₂ capture and storage, thermocatalytic hydrogenation of CO₂ to CH₃OH with green or blue hydrogen, offers an attractive route to mitigate CO₂ emissions and to decarbonize the chemical industry. Numerous studies have been focused on catalysts based on supported metallic nanoparticles; these catalysts consist of at least one transition or coinage metal and a promoter element combined with an oxide support to disperse the active phase. Besides Zn-promoters used in Cu-based hydrogenation catalysts, numerous reports point to Ga as a promoter for met
