Zusammenfassung: | The hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol is a promising pathway toward sustainable fuel production and carbon recycling. A key factor in the efficiency of this process lies in the interaction between the metal catalyst and its support. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as highly effective platforms due to their tunable structures, large surface areas, and ability to form stable interfaces with single-atom metals or metal nanoparticles. These metal-MOF interfaces are crucial for stabilizing active sites, preventing sintering, and enhancing catalytic performance. In this concept paper, we explore the role of these interfaces in promoting CO2 hydrogenation, focusing on Cu-Zn, Cu-Zr, and Zn-Zr interfaces. The formation of strong interactions between metal sites and MOF nodes enables precise control over the dispersion and electronic environment of the active species, significantly improving methanol selectivity and long-term stability. By analyzing recent advancements in MOF-supported catalysts, this work highlights the concept of engineered metal-MOF interfaces to drive the development of next-generation catalysts for efficient methanol synthesis from CO2. |
