Frontiers in metal-organic framework derived bimetallic catalyst for CO2 hydrogenation

Conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into high-value chemical products is one promising way to generate clean energy and climate change mitigation. However, reducing CO2 is generally challenging due to its stable chemical properties and strong CO bonds. The application of metal catalysts could significantly lower the energy barrier for CO2 hydrogenation. Recently, the catalysts derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown great potential in catalytic applications for CO2 hydrogenation. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the advantages of MOFs-derived catalysts in catalytic applications, focusing on commonly used bimetallic catalysts and their mechanistic understanding in enhancing catalytic performances. Additionally, we provide an overview of some bimetallic-based MOFs catalysts. This mini-review offers convenience and insights for researchers to directly understand the potential applications of MOFs-derived catalysts
