China team develops efficient multifunctional catalyst for conversion of CO2 to gasoline-range hydrocarbons

Green Car Congress

Qingjie Ge at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics in China has developed an efficient, stable, and multifunctional Na-Fe 3 O 4 /HZSM-5 catalyst for the direct production of gasoline-range hydrocarbons from CO 2 hydrogenation. The gasoline-range isoparaffins and aromatics are selectively formed and finally diffuse out of zeolite pores.
