　　报告摘要： 

　　Catalysis and adsorption research has an important role to play in addressing the global energy challenges. This seminar begins with an overview of global energy challenges.  Carbon capture and utilization are considered as key options for mitigating the emissions of CO₂ from energy systems and for sustainable development. We have proposed and developed a new design concept of “molecular basket sorbent (MBS)” for CO₂ capture and separation and new bimetallic catalysts for CO₂ conversion to chemicals and fuels. We will discuss the new design concept and performance of CO₂ “molecular basket” which is nano-porous, CO₂-selective high-capacity sorbent consisting of polymers such as polyethylenimine and porous inorganic solid. The CO₂-MBS possess high CO₂ load capacities for sorption separation of CO₂ from various gas mixtures with lower energy consumption and higher efficiency. It does not require pre-removal of moisture from flue gas. On the contrary, moisture in flue gas enhances CO₂ capture on CO₂-MBS.  

　　Catalytic hydrogenation of CO₂ using hydrogen produced with renewable energy has a potential to recycle CO₂ as an energy carrier for sustainable energy development. New catalysts are being developed for selective CO₂ conversion to C₂+ higher hydrocarbons and to methanol for chemicals and fuels. Bimetallic catalysts such as Fe-Co with a specific and narrow range of Co loading into Fe catalyst selectively enhance C₂+ higher hydrocarbons with higher CO₂ conversion levels. Addition of alkali promoter further enhances the rate of formation for C₂+ higher hydrocarbons that can be highly rich in olefins which are important industrial chemicals..
