Abstract
• This review focuses on different methodologies employed for CO 2 transformation into useful products. • Outline of CO 2 emission and capturing methods were discussed. • Detailed reports on photochemical, biochemical and electrochemical CO 2 transformation were highlighted. • Comparison between biological and chemical methods was discussed. • The products obtained from CO 2 conversion were summarized in detail. Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), a greenhouse gas is considered to contribute significantly to climate change and global warming. Environmental changes require to minimize the measure of CO 2 in air. The capture, storage and utilization of carbon based on photochemical, biochemical and electrochemical processes are the innovative proposed methods to decrease utilization of nonrenewables such as coal and oil. CO 2 can be reduced chemically through either homogeneous or heterogeneous pathway. In general, photochemical transformation of CO 2 involves formation of carrier charges followed by its separation, transportation and finally reduction of CO 2 using generated photoelectrons. Photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide is a rising territory of research. Beginning from the premise of photocatalytic reduction, the investigations about different semiconducting frameworks like oxides, sulfides, and phosphides are considered in this review. Biochemical transformation deals with enzymatic conversion of CO 2 and electrochemical reduction uses electrical energy for converting CO 2 into its reduced form. The enzyme catalytic carbon dioxide change gives an eco-accommodating approach to make carbon-based chemical products. A few favorable circumstances related with enzymatic change incorporate high selectivity, high return, less quantity of waste, less response conditions however certain downsides, for example, staggering expense of catalysts and cofactors, and longer response times as contrasted and normal strategies. Some products obtained as a result of CO 2 reduction includes methanol, formic acid, CO, methane, ethylene and gasoline. In this review, a overview on inalienably associated methodologies is given and ongoing advancement on the improvement, designing, and comprehension of CO 2 reduction using photochemical, biochemical and electrochemical is outlined.
