| Abstract |
Since climate change keeps escalating, it is imperativethat theincreasing CO2 emissions be combated. Over recent years,research efforts have been aiming for the design and optimizationof materials for CO2 capture and conversion to enable acircular economy. The uncertainties in the energy sector and the variationsin supply and demand place an additional burden on the commercializationand implementation of these carbon capture and utilization technologies.Therefore, the scientific community needs to think out of the boxif it is to find solutions to mitigate the effects of climate change.Flexible chemical synthesis can pave the way for tackling market uncertainties.The materials for flexible chemical synthesis function under a dynamicoperation, and thus, they need to be studied as such. Dual-functionmaterials are an emerging group of dynamic catalytic materials thatintegrate the CO2 capture and conversion steps. Hence,they can be used to allow some flexibility in the production of chemicalsas a response to the changing energy sector. This Perspective highlightsthe necessity of flexible chemical synthesis by focusing on understandingthe catalytic characteristics under a dynamic operation and by discussingthe requirements for the optimization of materials at the nanoscale. |
