Abstract

Capturing CO2 and converting it into fuels or fine chemicals is a promising way to deal with climate change issues and energy crises. However, the conversion of CO2 into hydrocarbons requires high activation energy owing to the stable CO bond. Therefore a catalyst with high performance is necessary to facilitate the chemical reactions. In recent years, it has been demonstrated that catalysts based on metal or metal oxides combined with zeolites have excellent performances in converting CO2 to various hydrocarbons and have the potential to be applied at an industrial scale. The present review article highlights the progress of zeolite-based catalysts in the CO2 conversion to hydrocarbon, i.e., gasoline, olefins, and aromatics products through modified Fischer-Tropcsh and methanol mediated pathways. The effect of zeolite properties, e.g., topology, acidity, morphology, crystallite size, extra framework cation and atom, and the pore structure, has been discussed. Also, several synthetic strategies for precisely adjusting the zeolite properties were demonstrated. Finally, the insight for future development was proposed.
