The direct conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) using green hydrogen is a sustainable approach to jet fuel production. However, achieving a high level of performance remains a formidable challenge due to the inertness of CO2 and its low activity for subsequent C-C bond formation. In this study, we prepared a Na-modified CoFe alloy catalyst using layered double-hydroxide precursors that directly transforms CO2 to a jet fuel composed of C-8-C-16 jet-fuel-range hydrocarbons with very high selectivity. At a temperature of 240 degrees C and pressure of 3 MPa, the catalyst achieves an unprecedentedly high C-8-C-16 selectivity of 63.5% with 10.2% CO2 conversion and a low combined selectivity of less than 22% toward undesired CO and CH4. Spectroscopic and computational studies show that the promotion of the coupling reaction between the carbon species and inhibition of the undesired CO2 methanation occur mainly due to the utilization of the CoFe alloy structure and addition of the Na promoter. This study provides a viable technique for the highly selective synthesis of eco-friendly and carbon-neutral jet fuel from CO2.
