Abstract:Pure and doped catalysts were prepared with ZnO dopant concentration (0.04-0.08 mol) by wet impregnation method followed by calcination at 350-650°C. The prepared solids were characterized by X-ray diffraction, N 2 -adsorption at -196°C and the methanol conversion as the catalytic probe reaction. The results revealed that the crystallite size and ordering of CuO phase decrease by ZnO-doping for samples calcined at 350-550°C. Opposite trends were observed by increasing ZnO amount to 0.08 mol (i.e. 9.21 wt%). Th… Show more
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.
