Abstract

Abstract:

The concentration of CO₂ in the atmosphere reached an all?time high in the 2021(414.7 μg/g), which has caused a series of ecological and environmental problems. In order to solve the problem of global warming, CO₂ resource utilization is imperative. From the view of CO₂ utilization and methanol (MeOH) economy, the preparation of MeOH by CO₂ hydrogenation is a potential energy route, which can be used as one of the key paths to achieve carbon neutrality. The recent progress in preparation of MeOH by reduction of CO₂ with H₂ as reductant in homogeneous system was summarized.According to the three routes of preparing MeOH by direct hydrogenation of CO₂,preparing MeOH by hydrogenation of CO₂ derivatives,and preparing MeOH by dissimilation of HCOOH,the catalyst system design,structure?activity relationship and reaction mechanism involved in each route were introduced,and the shortcomings of each hydrogenation route were summarized,the problems needed to be solved in the industrial production of MeOH by CO₂ hydrogenation were put forward.

Key words: Carbon neutrality, Carbon dioxide, Hydrogenation, Homogeneous catalysis, Methanol

摘要：

大气中CO₂质量分数于2021年创下历史新高（414.7 $μ g / g$ ），由此引发的一系列生态环境问题已成为不争的事实。为解决全球变暖的问题，CO₂资源化利用势在必行。从CO₂利用和甲醇（MeOH）经济性角度看，CO₂加氢制备MeOH是一个非常具有发展潜力的能源路线，可作为实现碳中和的关键路径之一。总结了均相体系中以H₂作为还原剂，还原CO₂制备MeOH的最新进展；围绕CO₂直接加氢制备MeOH、经CO₂衍生物加氢制备MeOH以及经HCOOH歧化制备MeOH等3条路径，介绍了每条路径中涉及的催化剂体系设计、构?效关系以及反应机理；概述了每条加氢路径存在的不足，并提出了实现工业化CO₂加氢制备MeOH需解决的问题。
