Abstract: The invention relates to nanocatalysts composed of iron oxide nanoparticles supported on porous interconnected carbon nanosheets (CNS) fabricated from the carbonization of potassium citrate, that are remarkably active for CO2 hydrogenation and Fischer-Tropsch to Olefins (FTO) synthesis, as well as a method for directly converting CO2 and H2 to C2-C4 olefins and direct FTO synthesis.
