The requirement of running a new generation of fuel production is inevitable due to the limitation of oil production from reservoirs. On the other hand, enhancing the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere brings global warming phenomenon and leads to catastrophic disasters such as drought and flooding. Conversion of carbon dioxide to methanol can compensate for the liquid fuel requirement and mitigate CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. In this review, we surveyed the recent works on homogeneous hydrogenation of CO2 to CH3OH and investigated the experimental results in detail. We categorized the CO2 hydrogenation works based on the environment of the reaction, including neutral, acidic, and basic conditions, and discussed the effects of solvents’ properties on the experimental results. This review provides a perspective on the previous studies in this field, which can assist the researchers in selecting the proper catalyst and solvent for homogenous hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to methanol.

二氧化碳均相加氢制甲醇的新进展

由于储层石油产量的限制，运行新一代燃料生产的要求是不可避免的。另一方面，提高 CO2大气中的浓度会带来全球变暖现象，并导致干旱和洪水等灾难性灾害。将二氧化碳转化为甲醇可以补偿液体燃料的需求并减少二氧化碳2排放到大气中。在这篇综述中，我们调查了最近关于 CO 均相加氢的工作2到 CH3OH 并详细研究了实验结果。我们对 CO 进行了分类2加氢工作基于反应环境，包括中性、酸性和碱性条件，并讨论了溶剂性质对实验结果的影响。这篇综述提供了对该领域先前研究的展望，可以帮助研究人员选择合适的催化剂和溶剂用于二氧化碳均相加氢制甲醇。
