| Summary: | The catalytic conversion of CO
2
, which has recently attracted considerable attention, would not only contribute to the alleviation of environmental problems but would also provide useful chemicals (
e.g.
, methane and methanol). Due to the thermodynamic stability of CO
2
, developing highly efficient and cost-effective catalysts is the main challenge with respect to large scale production. CeO
2
-based materials have aroused increasing research interest as supports or catalysts toward CO
2
conversion. By virtue of the unique structural properties resulting from oxygen vacancies and reversible valence change (Ce
4+
and Ce
3+
), CeO
2
exhibits great potential as a support to immobilize catalytically-active species or even as an active site to activate the oxygen-containing bond in catalytic reactions involving CO
2
. In this review, the latest advances in the design, preparation and application of CeO
2
-based heterogeneous catalysts toward CO
2
conversion are summarized.
The catalytic conversion of CO
2
, which has recently attracted considerable attention, would not only contribute to the alleviation of environmental problems but would also provide useful chemicals (
e.g.
, methane and methanol). |

| Bibliography: | David G. Evans studied as both an undergraduate and a research student at Jesus College, Oxford, and obtained a DPhil under the supervision of Prof. D. M. P. Mingos FRS. After postdoctoral work at Bristol University with Prof. F. G. A. Stone FRS, he was appointed as a lecturer at Exeter University in 1985. Several visits to Chinese university chemistry departments in the early 1990s convinced him of China's great potential for development and he moved to Beijing University of Chemical Technology in 1996. His research interests focus on intercalation in layered solids. 2 Min Wei obtained her BS degree in 1995 and MS degree in 1998 from the Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT). She subsequently received her PhD from the Peking University in 2001, after which she joined the staff of BUCT. She was promoted to full Professor in 2005. She has been a visiting scholar in the Georgia Institute of Technology (in 2008). Her research interests focus on inorganic-organic composite functional materials as well as new catalysts. Fei Wang received his BS degree in 2009 from the Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT). He joined Professor Xue Duan's group as a PhD candidate at BUCT in 2010, and he currently works on designing new catalysts toward CO Xue Duan was elected as an Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2007. He was awarded his BS degree from the Jilin University and MS and PhD degrees from the Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT). He was subsequently appointed to the staff of BUCT and established the Applied Chemistry Research Institute in 1990. He was promoted to full Professor in 1993 and given PhD supervisor status in 1995. He is currently Director of the Institute of Applied Chemistry and Executive Vice-Chair of the Academic Committee of the State Key Laboratory of Chemical Resource Engineering. conversion. |
