Why is it important?

Selectivity control is a big challenge in catalytic conversions of syngas and the hydrogenation of CO2. Thus, the development of efficient catalysts with controlled product selectivity is the most important goal in C1 chemistry.

Perspectives

To develop more efficient bifunctional or multifunctional catalysts that are capable of precisely control the C-C coupling to form high-value chemicals such as lower olefins, aromatics, ethanol and specific liquid fuels is an important future targets.
