Catalytic carbon dioxide (CO) hydrogenation is a potential route for producing sustainable fuels and chemicals, but existing catalysts need improvement. In particular, identifying active sites and understanding the interaction between components and the dynamic behavior of the participant species remain unclear. This fundamental knowledge is essential for the design of more efficient and stable catalysts. Because the nature of the active site (metal, oxide, carbide) is the main factor that determines the catalytic activity of the catalysts, this Review focuses on various types of heterogeneous catalysts that have been recently reported in the literature as efficient for CO conversion to C1 [carbon monoxide (CO), methanol (CHOH), methane (CH)], and higher hydrocarbons. We focus on establishing key connections between active-site structures and selectivity, regardless of catalyst composition.
催化二氧化碳（CO₂）加氢是生产可持续燃料和化学品的一条潜在途径，但现有催化剂仍需改进。特别是，活性位点的识别、各组分之间的相互作用以及参与物种的动态行为仍不明确。这些基础知识对于设计更高效、更稳定的催化剂至关重要。由于活性位点（金属、氧化物、碳化物）的性质是决定催化剂催化活性的主要因素，因此本综述重点关注了文献中最近报道的各种非均相催化剂，这些催化剂在将CO₂转化为C₁[一氧化碳（CO）、甲醇（CH₃OH）、甲烷（CH₄）]和高级烃方面表现高效。我们专注于建立活性位点结构与选择性之间的关键联系，而不考虑催化剂的组成。
