The direct transformation of syngas to light olefins is a highly attractive route for the synthesis of light olefins. The La doped ZnxAlyOz catalyst was prepared with various precipitating agents,...
Cu-based/SiO2 nanocatalysts with Cu0 or Cu+ species as active sites have been widely investigated for CO2 hydrogenation. Here, 10CuO/silicalite-1(S-1) and 10CuO-2ZnO/S-1 catalysts were cheap prepared by wet impregnation. 7.5% conversion...
CO2 hydrogenation is one of the most effective
solutions
for mitigating excessive CO2 emissions. In this work, CuPd
x
/γ-Al2O3 (x = 0.05–5.7 wt %) catalysts were prepared and applied
in CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. The results showed CuPd0.1/γ-Al2O3 achieved excellent
CO2 hydrogenation activity. It is demonstrated that the
Pd species of CuPd0.1/γ-Al2O3 is highly dispersed on the γ-Al2O3 support
at the atomic level and separated from Cu nanoparticles by AC-HAADF-STEM,
rather than forming CuPd alloy. Part of the hydrogen species activated
by isolated Pd atoms overflows onto γ-Al2O3 and influences the reduction of CuO, thus effectively increasing
the Cu+/(Cu++Cu0) ratio which is
correlated with the prominent CO2 hydrogenation
performance. On the other hand, we found that CH3OH retained
on catalyst surface can be further reformed into CO, which significantly
reduces the selectivity of CH3OH. To limit CH3OH reforming, the activity test of CuPd0.1/γ-Al2O3 in a fixed bed at different weight hourly space
velocity was performed, where the remarkable methanol yields of 5.9
mmol/gcat./h were obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
