This book presents the current status of CO₂ utilization from fundamental studies to industrial tests. With the development of renewable energy, carbon dioxide will become an important feedstock for the synthesis of fuels and chemicals, and CO₂ utilization must be the final solution for the carbon dioxide issues. This book discusses the effective techniques for activating inert carbon dioxide and various approaches for CO₂ conversion, such as homogeneous catalytic conversion, homogeneous catalytic conversion, heterogeneous catalytic conversion, photocatalytic conversion, electrocatalytic conversion, photo-thermal catalytic conversion, plasma-chemical/plasma-catalytic conversion, and bio-catalytic conversion. It also addresses the electronic and geometric structural effects of the supported catalyst on the activity and selectivity of the conversion of carbon dioxide. The significant effects from single atom catalyst to nanoparticle are also discussed, and process intensification in catalyst preparation and reaction is highlighted. Furthermore, this book contains chapters with theoretical studies, including functional theory, which has played an important role in the catalyst design, the explanation of the reaction mechanism, and in understanding the synergy of reaction and heat and mass transfer. Given its scope, this book appeals to a wider readership, especially for researchers in the field of CO₂ utilization.

Prof. Annemie Bogaerts obtained her Ph.D. in Chemistry in 1996, from the University of Antwerp in Belgium. She became Lecturer of physical chemistry in 2003, at this university, and is Full Professor since 2012. She became Selected Member of the Academia Europaea since 2011 and Selected Member of the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Sciences and the Arts since 2012. She is Founder and Head of the interdisciplinary research group PLASMANT, which counts more than 50 researchers. The research activities of her group include experiments and modeling of plasma chemistry, plasma reactor design, and plasma–surface interactions (where the surface can be catalyst, liquid, or living cells), for various applications, with most emphasis on green chemistry and medicine. In recent years, special attention has been paid to CO2 conversion by plasma and plasma catalysis.

Dr. Jingyun Ye is currently Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at Duquesne University. She received her Ph.D. degree from Tianjin University in 2014. After that, she worked at the University of Pittsburg and the University of Minnesota as Post-doctor before she joined Clarkson University in 2020. She did the pioneering theoretical studies on In2O3 for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol and initiated the new research topics on In2O3-based catalyst for CO2 hydrogenation. She is also one of the first scientists who worked on MOFs for CO2 capture and conversion. Her research interest is to precisely design multi-functional materials and efficient catalysts for sustainable energy conversion and storage.
