Abstract:

Catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide(CO2) to value-added hydrocarbons is of great environmental and social importance, which can not only reduce CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, but also conform with sustainable development strategy. This paper reviews the progress in catalytic conversion of CO2 to C2+ hydrocarbons over Fe-based catalyst. Reaction pathway and mechanism, catalyst preparation and reactor design are emphatically introduced. In addition, the future of hydrocarbons synthesis via CO2 hydrogenation is also summarized.

Key words: carbon dioxide, hydrogenation, Fe-based catalyst, hydrocarbons synthesis
