The reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) reaction offers a sustainable approach for CO utilization, yielding CO for vital catalytic processes. This study compares the catalytic performance of exsolved Cu- and Ni-encapsulated silicalite-1 (S-1) catalysts against those prepared by impregnation methods. Exsolved catalysts, characterized by confined metal nanoparticles and distinct surface chemistry, exhibited higher CO selectivity and lower activation energies of CO formation than their impregnated counterparts. Surface and structural analyses revealed that the exsolution process enhanced RWGS activity, driven by altered metal-support interactions and unique adsorption behaviors, offering insights for improving the efficiency of RWGS catalysis.

CO hydrogenation to methanol using green hydrogen derived from renewable resources provides a promising method for sustainable carbon cycle but suffers from high selectivity towards byproduct CO. Here, we develop an efficient PdZn-ZnO/TiO catalyst by engineering lattice dislocation structures of TiO support. We discover that this modification orders irregularly arranged atoms in TiO to stabilize crystal lattice, and consequently weakens electronic interactions with supported active phases.

CO conversion and reuse technology are crucial for alleviating environmental stress and promoting carbon cycling. Reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction can transform inert CO into active CO. Molybdenum carbide (MoC) has shown good performance in the RWGS reaction, and different crystalline phases exhibit distinct catalytic behaviors.

Solar-driven dry reforming of methane (DRM) offers a milder, more cost-effective, and promising environmentally friendly pathway compared to traditional thermal catalytic DRM. Numerous studies have extensively investigated inexpensive Ni-based catalysts for application in solar-driven DRM. However, these catalysts often suffer from activity loss due to carbon accumulation.

The reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction provides a convenient approach to convert CO to CO, which facilitates to achieve the goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. Herein, the Cu/CeO catalyst prepared by a co-precipitation method using a mixture of NaCO and NaOH at pH of 10 (sample Cu/CeO-10) achieved an intrinsic reaction rate of 428.4 mmol ⋅ g ⋅ h with 100 % CO selectivity at 400 °C and CO/H ratio of 1 : 4, which is much higher than Cu/CeO prepared by impregnation and other methods.

In this paper, a concept of integrated CO capture and reverse water-gas shift (ICCrWGS) process was proposed using NH as the H carrier. The CO efficiency and total thermal energy consumption for the conventional rWGS, ICCrWGS using H (H-ICCrWGS) and NH (NH-ICCrWGS), were calculated. ICCrWGS using H and NH was conducted over the thermally stable Ni/CaZr dual-function materials (DFMs).
