However, since CO<sub>2<\/sub> is a fully oxidized, thermodynamically stable and chemically inert molecule, the activation of CO<sub>2<\/sub> and its hydrogenation to hydrocarbons or other alcohols are challenging tasks. Most research to date, not surprisingly, is focusing on selective hydrogenation of CO<sub>2<\/sub> to short-chain products, while few studies on long-chain hydrocarbons, such as gasoline-range (C<sub>5<\/sub>\u2013C<sub>11<\/sub>) hydrocarbons. The key to this process is to search for a high efficient catalyst.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The research team led by Dr. SUN Jian and Prof. GE Qingjie in <a href=\"http:\/\/english.dicp.cas.cn\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics<\/a> has succeeded in preparing a high efficient, stable, and multifunctional Na\u2013Fe<sub>3<\/sub>O<sub>4<\/sub>\/HZSM-5 catalyst for the direct production of gasoline from CO<sub>2<\/sub> hydrogenation. This catalyst exhibited 78% selectivity to C<sub>5<\/sub>\u2013C<sub>11<\/sub> as well as low CH<sub>4<\/sub> and CO selectivity under industrial relevant conditions. And gasoline fraction are mainly isoparaffins and aromatics thus favouring the octane number. Moreover, the multifunctional catalyst exhibited a remarkable stability for 1,000 h on stream, which definitely has the potential to be a promising industrial catalyst for CO<sub>2<\/sub> utilization to liquid fuels.<\/p>\n<p>In-depth characterizations indicate that this catalyst enables RWGS over Fe<sub>3<\/sub>O<sub>4<\/sub> sites, olefin synthesis over Fe<sub>5<\/sub>C<sub>2<\/sub> sites and oligomerization\/aromatization\/isomerization over zeolite acid sites. The concerted action of the active sites calls for precise control of their structures and proximity. This study paves a new path for the synthesis of liquid fuels by utilizing CO<sub>2<\/sub> and H<sub>2<\/sub>. Furthermore, it provides an important approach for dealing with the intermittency of renewable sources (sun, wind and so on) by storing energy in liquid fuels.<\/p>\n<p>This work was recently published on Nature Communications (DOI: 10.1038\/ncomms15174).
