Massive CO 2 emission has led to a series of ecological and environmental problems. Sustainable conversion and utilization of CO 2 is one of the focuses of today‘s society. However, the inertness of CO 2 molecules and weak chain growth ability limit the efficient utilization of CO 2 . Herein, different from conventional Fe‐based catalysts, a series of bimetallic catalysts (FeCo) were prepared to investigate the effects of cobalt species existence on catalytic yield of CO 2 hydrogenation. The existence of cobalt promotes the formation of small‐size iron carbides. Meanwhile, a suitable surface composition of Co (2.4 at. %) and Fe (7.4 at. %) element is helpful to promote the selective generation of C 2+ products, thus presenting a high yield (Co/Fe@C‐8). This study can provide a systematic guidance to the utilization of high‐efficiently bimetallic catalysts for higher hydrocarbon formation with high yield from CO 2 .
