Advanced Zeolite‐Based Catalysts for CO 2 Hydrogenation to Targeted High‐Value Chemicals and Fuels

Abstract The excessive use of fossil fuels has resulted in elevated CO 2 emissions in the atmosphere, significantly impacting the climate and global environment. The catalytic conversion of CO 2 into high‐value chemicals has been recognized as a promising strategy to mitigate CO 2 emissions. Light olefins, aromatics, and alcohols, etc. are widely used high‐value chemicals as fuels and chemical synthesis intermediates. To enhance the catalytic efficiency and selectivity for producing these chemicals, various catalysts have been developed. Among them, zeolite‐based catalysts have garnered significant attention due to their unique microporous structure, shape‐selective catalysis capability, high thermal stability, and tunable acidity. This article focuses on the distinctive structural characteristics of zeolites and their notable representative applications, with particular emphasis on the impact of zeolite structural properties on catalytic performance and reaction mechanism. Additionally, we discuss the current challenges of fabricating highly efficient zeolite‐based catalysts and future development prospects in improving the catalytic performance and industrial‐scale applications. We propose rational and strategic insights to pave the way for the efficient utilization of CO₂ as a valuable resource.
