be an effective solution to remove the produced water from the system. This will
help in protecting the active metal from the water corrosive environment and
increasing shelf life of the catalyst. On the other hand, structured catalyst motifs
(like honeycomb monoliths) are the new class of catalysts identified by some of the
researchers which may facilitate the solutions to the catalyst-related problems
encountered during the methanol synthesis process.
As far as photocatalysis is considered, use of solar energy for carbon oxide conversion appears to be economically promising route. However, poor product selectivity and low conversion efficiency are the major challenges associated with this
phenomenon. New photocatalytic materials with high quantum yields and innovation in the reactor design and configuration are the need of the hour.
Carbon oxide conversion is presenting challenges as well as opportunities to the
research community worldwide for protecting the energy and environment. A lot of
measures can be expected in near future to achieve stable economic process, efficient catalytic systems, and simple innovative reactor designs which will prove to be
fruitful in enhancing the CO/CO 2 utilization via greener means.
