Abstract
Selective hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO2) into value-added chemicals has aroused great interest. The chemical inertness of CO2 and diverse reaction pathways usually require the construction of enabled catalysts. To date, cobalt (Co) catalysts characteristic of metallic and/or divalent Co components show great potential for CO2 hydrogenation. To better regulate the CO2 hydrogenation, it is necessary to summarize the current progress of cobalt catalysts for selective hydrogenation of CO2. In this Perspective, first, hydrogenation of CO2 into methane over metallic Co sites is introduced. Second, hydrogenation of CO2 into methanol and C2+ alcohols is discussed by constructing mixed-valent cobalt sites. Third, hydrogenation of CO2 into light olefins and C5+ liquid fuels over cobalt-containing hybrid catalysts is introduced. Fourth, the reaction paths for selective hydrogenation of CO2 over cobalt catalysts are illustrated. Finally, the current challenges and prospects of cobalt-based nanocatalysts for hydrogenation of CO2 are proposed.Keywords
