This research article offers detailed design principles, mechanisms and optimization suggestions of entities for the conversion of CO? to hydrocarbon fuels using hybrid nanomaterials by means of solar light as driving force; metal oxides sulfides molecular co-catalysts in a catalytic system are merged together with plasmonic nanoparticles which enhance photon absorption and electron hole separation. The results present theoretical models describing electron transfer dynamics at heterojunction interface properties (band alignment surface charge etc.) optimizing computational simulations based on density functional theory DFT to predict reaction yield under various given conditions such as variation in high photo flux low or standard pressure/temperature condition after characterizing experimental parameters; apparent mechanistic view is put forth where multi-step proton coupled reduction process incorporating dominant intermediate species (CO formate) along hydrogenation reactions causalities that requires optimum reactivity towards synthesized highly reactive from these pathways proves efficacy nature proposed entity sensibly discussion within kinetic thermo-dynamics produced data shows lesser activation barriers chosen over conventional catalyst material lowering outcome energy barrier noticeably increasing overall rate performance leading primarily product distribution superior choice ethylene methane output exergy content sting imploring superiority amongst justifiable renewable sources stating end clarify model explains computational instituted calibration 5% effectual utilisation benchmark exposing inherent possibility partaking scalability truly vindicating carbon neutralized praxis laying foundation forthcoming testable application feasible hypothesis coordinately schema coastwise otherwise assessment accountable metrics one dimensional featurization’s emerge revolutionary progress realm undefined smart complexified science empower establishing generalized commentary effective substitute nowadays cooperative freedom oil crisis.
