Abstract:This study investigates the use of electrochemical promotion of catalysis (EPOC) to in situ control the catalytic rate of the reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction that recycles wasteful CO 2 into CO. Nanostructured Cu/ZnO catalysts with varying Cu loadings (5, 10, 20, 40, and 60 wt %) are synthesized for RWGS. Compared to unsupported Cu nanoparticles and bare ZnO support, Cu/ ZnO catalysts exhibit improved performance due to metal−support interaction. 20 and 40 wt % Cu/ZnO catalysts show the highest open-c… Show more
