Abstract

The direct conversion of carbon dioxide into lower olefins (C2-C4) is a highly desirable process as a sustainable production route1,2. These lower olefins, such as ethylene, propylene, and butenes, are crucial components in the chemical industry and for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). The reaction proceeds via two main consecutive reactions: Reverse Water Gas Shift (RWGS) to produce CO followed by the further conversion of CO to hydrocarbons via the Fischer−Tropsch reaction3. Recent studies 45highlight the cost-effectiveness and satisfactory performance of Fe-based catalysts in both reaction steps, while exploring bimetallic catalysts, particularly Ru and Fe combinations, to enhance olefin selectivity6., with precise MNP synthesis as a crucial factor for performance control.The study introduces a novel approach for synthesizing iron-ruthenium bimetallic catalysts that utilizes ionic liquids as solvents7, ensuring precise and uniform distribution of active metal phases. Advanced characterizations and extensive tests reveal that this method surpasses traditional colloid-based techniques, resulting in superior selectivity for target hydrocarbons.
