Recently, carbon dioxide capture and conversion, along with hydrogen from renewable resources, provide an alternative approach to synthesis of useful fuels and chemicals. People are increasingly interested in developing innovative carbon dioxide hydrogenation catalysts, and the pace of progress in this area is accelerating. Accordingly, this perspective presents current state of the art and outlook in synthesis of light olefins, dimethyl ether, liquid fuels, and alcohols through two leading hydrogenation mechanisms: methanol reaction and Fischer-Tropsch based carbon dioxide hydrogenation. The future research directions for developing new heterogeneous catalysts with transformational technologies, including 3D printing and artificial intelligence, are provided.

近来，二氧化碳的捕获和转化以及可再生资源中的氢，为合成有用的燃料和化学物质提供了另一种方法。人们对开发创新的二氧化碳加氢催化剂越来越感兴趣，并且该领域的发展步伐正在加快。因此，该观点提出了通过两种主要的氢化机理：甲醇反应和基于费-托法的二氧化碳加氢合成轻质烯烃，二甲醚，液体燃料和醇的现有技术和展望。提供了使用转化技术（包括3D打印和人工智能）开发新型多相催化剂的未来研究方向。
