Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Small C1 molecules, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO), are plentiful and can be obtained from renewable sources, industrial emissions, and/or natural gas. These molecules play a crucial role in the production of clean energy products and chemicals. For example, by utilizing processes like Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis, CO and CO2 hydrogenation, and CH4 oxidation, hydrocarbons without nitrogen, phosphorus and/or sulfur, as well as methanol, ethanol, and other clean energy products can be obtained. There has been significant interest in developing efficient catalytic processes to convert these small C1 molecules. Various technologies have emerged in this field, including thermal catalysis, photocatalysis, electrolytic catalysis, plasma-assisted catalysis, and so on.
The special issue “Clean energy-C1 molecules catalytic conversion” aims to spread the latest advancements in both academic and industrial research on the catalytic conversion of C1 molecules for clean energy, and enhance the understanding and application of catalytic processes for the conversion of C1 molecules. It encompasses various topics, such as:
(1) CO2 conversion and utilization (CO2 hydrogenation to methane/methanol/formate, etc.);
(2) Syngas conversion and utilization (Syngas to hydrocarbons/olefin/aromatic, etc.);
(3) CH4 conversion and utilization (CH4 oxidation/reforming of methane, etc.);
(4) Carbonylation and methylation with C1 molecules;
(5) Other related areas.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is well recognized as one of the key intermediates for carbon dioxide (CO2) electrolytic reduction to C2+ products, which has been a hot research field recently. Developing an efficient catalyst that focuses on achieving C-C coupling is highly important for the production of C2+ products. In the present work, we present a feasible...
