Upgrading CO2 to sustainable aromatics via perovskite-mediated tandem catalysis - Nature

Summary

The article investigates the use of LaFeO3 perovskite as a carburization-resistant catalyst for efficient CO2 conversion to aromatics in tandem with H-ZSM-5 zeolite. Focusing on chemical kinetics and industrial processes, it discusses the structure and catalytic performance of LaFeO3 in hydrogenation reactions involving hydrogen and formic acid, comparing it to iron(II,III) oxide and its resistance to transformation into Fe carbides. The perovskite's long Fe-Fe distances allow for catalytic applications, such as in the cement industry, without significant structural changes.
