Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Due to the rapid and continuous increase in CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere by the massive combustion of fossil fuels, the global ecosystem is being affected severely. Therefore, balancing the CO2 content in the atmosphere should be our main agenda nowadays. For minimization of CO2 concentration, carbon capture and its conversion to valuable chemicals are being perused worldwide. Metal-organic framework (MOF)-based materials having a porous structure and tuneable structural features, are best candidates for the purpose. Herein, we provide a detailed discussion on the design, synthesis and catalytic applications of MOF-based materials for various CO2 conversion reactions.
