Increasing attention has been drawn to carbon dioxide (CO₂) conversion into higher-value platform chemicals and synthetic fuels due to global warming. These reactions require a large amount of thermal energy in order to proceed, which is ascribable to the high stability of the bonds in CO₂. Non-thermal plasma (NTP)-catalytic CO₂ conversion has emerged as a promising method to significantly reduce the reaction temperature as plasma can activate CO₂ at as low as room temperature and atmosphere pressure. However, this technology requires a paradigm shift in process design to enhance plasma-catalytic performance. CO₂ conversion using plasma-catalysis has great potential to increase reaction efficiencies due to the synergetic effects between the plasma and catalysts. It is crucial to present the recent progress in CO₂ conversion and utilization whilst providing a research prospects framework and direction for future research in both industries and laboratories. Herein, a comprehensive review of recent, encouraging research achievements in CO₂ conversion using NTP is provided. The topics reviewed in this work are: i) the recent progress in different NTP sources in relation to product selectivity, conversion, and energy efficiency; ii) plasma-based CO₂ reactions and applications; iii) CO₂ conversion integrated with CO₂ capture; and iv) current challenges and future perspectives. The high market value of the possible products from this process, including chemicals and fuels, make commercialization of the process feasible. Furthermore, the selectivities of these products can be further improved by developing suitable catalysts with effective sensitivities and performances under the intricate conditions needed to make these products. There is an urgent need for further studies to be performed in this emerging field.

由于全球变暖，人们越来越关注将二氧化碳（CO ₂）转化为高价值的平台化学品和合成燃料。为了进行这些反应，需要大量的热能，这归因于键在CO _2中的高稳定性。非热等离子体（NTP）催化的CO ₂转化已经成为一种显着降低反应温度的有前途的方法，因为等离子体可以在低至室温和大气压的情况下活化CO ₂。但是，该技术要求工艺设计发生范式转变，以增强等离子体催化性能。一氧化碳₂由于等离子体与催化剂之间的协同作用，使用等离子体催化进行转化具有很大的潜力来提高反应效率。介绍CO ₂转化和利用的最新进展，同时为工业和实验室的未来研究提供研究前景框架和方向，至关重要。在此，对使用NTP进行CO ₂转化的最新令人鼓舞的研究成果进行了全面回顾。这项工作回顾的主题是：i）在产品选择，转化和能效方面，不同NTP来源的最新进展；ii）基于等离子体的CO ₂反应和应用；iii）与CO ₂集成的CO ₂转化捕获; iv）当前的挑战和未来的前景。该方法可能产生的产品（包括化学品和燃料）的高市场价值使该方法的商业化成为可能。此外，通过开发在制备这些产物所需的复杂条件下具有有效灵敏度和性能的合适催化剂，可以进一步提高这些产物的选择性。迫切需要在这个新兴领域进行进一步的研究。
