Abstract

This article describes the main strategies to activate and convert carbon dioxide (CO₂ ) into valuable chemicals over catalytic surfaces. Coherent elements such as common intermediates are identified in the different strategies and concisely discussed based on the reactivity of CO₂ with the aim to understand the decisive factors for selective and efficient CO₂ conversion.

Keywords: activation; carbon dioxide; heterogeneous catalysis; mechanism; surface science.
