Abstract

Using catalytic processes to convert CO₂ into low-carbon fuels and fine chemicals is one of the most efficient paths to addressing global energy imbalance and CO₂ excess emissions. The advantages of one-dimensional nanocatalysts in long-range electron transport and controllable internal structure endow them with widely utilization in catalysis. Electrospinning，a top-down method for fabrication of fibers，offers unique advantages in regulating fiber composition and structure. This paper systematically reviews the designing strategies and application advancements of fiber catalysts based on electrospinning，including fully controllable synthesis strategies for multilevel structured fibers，methods for introducing active sites via one-step and post-load techniques，and research case of fiber catalysts in CO₂ conversion. This review provides valuable references for the development of new concepts，methods，processes，and applications of fiber catalysts for CO₂ conversion.
