Abstract
The transition to renewable energy sources necessitates innovative catalytic solutions to improve efficiency and sustainability. Bimetallic catalysis, leveraging the synergistic effects of two distinct metals, has emerged as a promising strategy in various renewable energy applications. This review explores the unique properties and mechanisms of bimetallic catalysts, highlighting their roles in biomass conversion, hydrogen production, and CO2 reduction. We delve into the interplay of electronic and geometric effects in these catalysts, proposing novel design principles for optimizing performance. Additionally, we identify emerging trends and uncharted territories in bimetallic catalysis, such as the use of non-noble metal combinations and the integration of advanced computational methods for catalyst design. By addressing current challenges and future directions, this review aims to inspire new research avenues and technological advancements in the realm of renewable energy catalysis. Our analysis identifies critical knowledge gaps and proposes strategic directions for developing next-generation bimetallic catalysts with enhanced performance and reduced environmental impact. Furthermore, the review underscores the potential of combining experimental and theoretical approaches to uncover deeper insights into the catalytic processes and to drive innovations in catalyst synthesis. The exploration of scalable fabrication techniques and the integration of these catalysts into practical applications are also discussed, providing a comprehensive perspective on the future landscape of bimetallic catalysis.
