*E-mail: liutk@wust.edu.cn (T. Liu),About author:Tangkang Liu (Interdisciplinary Institute of NMR and Molecular Sciences, Wuhan University of Science and Technology) received his B.S. in chemistry from Guangxi University in 2016 and his Ph.D. in physical chemistry from Wuhan University in 2023. After that, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Wuhan University of Science and Technology (2023 to date). His research interests focus on the design and structure-performance relationships of heterogeneous catalytic materials for CO2 hydrogenation.Zhiyao Liu: investigation, software, data curation, formal analysis, methodology, writing - original draft.
