The application of nonthermal plasma in methanol synthesis via CO ₂ hydrogenation

CH3OH is an energy carrier that can be generated from renewable resources and used as a fuel in cells internal combustion engines platform chemical for the synthesis of value-added chemicals or gasoline. Carbon dioxide (CO2) hydrogenation one widely researched methods to generate methanol. The traditional CO2 reaction method (requires high H2 pressure temperatures) has attracted considerable attention. However, new emerging field catalysis referred nonthermal plasma (NTP) also been developed extensively methane reforming CO. plasma-assisted approach not only presents remarkable advantages, such room temperature atmospheric but great potential powered by electricity flexible way since it easily switched on/off. In this account, we review recent articles published on methanol using NTP. We reviewed discussed mechanism under NTP, modification reactor configurations, rationale behind catalyst design. end, advantages disadvantages each these works future perspectives interesting privileged reaction. believe interest researchers active sustainable heterogeneous catalysis.
