Abstract
Strategies to capture and sequester ever-increasing anthropogenic CO2 emissions include adsorbing CO2 onto inorganic substrates and then storing it in reservoirs, changing land use to promote forestry, and converting CO2 to chemicals and fuels. The reverse water–gas shift (RWGS) reaction is a conversion strategy for producing CO from CO2 that provides the highest technology readiness level. Cu and alkali metals promote CO2 adsorption, Fe improves the thermal stability, and reducible supports like CeO2 accelerate the reaction rate. Density functional theory (DFT) is a practical modeling tool for evaluating the catalytic properties of materials at the atomic scale. The active phases of the Cu- and Fe-based catalysts, the effect of bimetallic compositions, the presence of promotors, and the influence of the support material are evaluated using observations from DFT simulations and experimental data. An optimal RWGS catalyst favors (1) CO2 adsorption, (2) the dissociation of CO2 or intermediate carbonate species to CO, and (3) CO desorption. Typically, a single-component catalytic plane is unfavorable for all these criteria, thus necessitating the design of an optimal multicomponent RWGS catalyst. Future DFT research is directed toward multifacet catalytic systems to understand the structural configuration of a highly active RWGS system. Experimental and characterization results complement DFT studies in the design of the optimal RWGS catalyst. Machine learning trained by literature data provides an automated approach for the inverse design of high-performance, stable, and economic catalysts for the RWGS reaction. This review encompasses experimental and computational approaches to understand the activity of RWGS catalysts.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
