Review reveals strategies for Fischer-Tropsch carbon dioxide hydrogenation, highlighting promoter metals and zeolites to selectively synthesize renewable fuels.

Key Points

To review Fischer-Tropsch-based catalytic systems for converting carbon dioxide via hydrogenation into value-added C2+ hydrocarbons while mitigating water-induced catalyst deactivation.
Surveyed heterogeneous Fischer-Tropsch catalytic configurations utilizing CO2 and H2 or syngas mixtures (CO2, CO, and H2) as feedstocks.
Evaluated catalytic performance, water resistance, and product selectivity across transition metal formulations and zeolite-supported matrices.
Incorporation of co-catalysts such as cobalt and copper enhances catalyst functionality and promotes C2+ hydrocarbon formation.
Integration of zeolite supports effectively tunes the product distribution toward desired olefins, paraffins, and isoparaffins.
High co-production of water during hydrogenation remains a primary barrier requiring tailored water-resistant catalyst architectures.
