Application of Porous Materials for CO2 Reutilization: A Review

CO2 reutilization processes contribute to the mitigation of as a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) through reusing and converting it into economically valuable chemical products including methanol, dimethyl ether, methane. Solar thermochemical conversion photochemical electrochemical reduction are emerging technologies in which solar energy is utilized provide required for endothermic dissociation CO2. Owing surface-dependent nature these technologies, their performance significantly reliant on solid reactant/catalyst accessible surface area. Solid porous structures either entirely made from catalyst or used support coating catalyst/solid reactants can increase number active reaction sites and, thus, kinetics reactions. This paper reviews principles application materials pathways thermochemical, photochemical, technologies. Then, state development each technology critically reviewed evaluated with focus use materials. Finally, research needs challenges presented further advance implementation commercialization aforementioned
