Abstract
Plasma catalysis is a promising alternative for direct conversion of CO2 and CH4 to high-value oxygenates at mild conditions. However, this direct process suffers from low selectivity and high diversity of the liquid oxygenates, generally consisting of C1-4 alcohols, C1-2 acids, C1-2 aldehydes and acetone, and little is known yet about how to seletively produce one target oxygenate. Trial-and-error approach still dominates the current researches, especially in screening effective catalysts. This short review highlights researches in the last two years, revealing the crucial factors that affect oxygenates formation, and then proposing some feasible strategies to improve oxygenates formation in plasma-catalytic CO2/CH4 conversion.
