Radio-frequency thermal plasma-induced novel chainmail-like core-shell MoO2 as highly stable catalyst for converting syngas to higher alcohols

A highly efficient Li–Cu/MoOx catalyst constructed by a precursor dispersion and alkali metal-promotion stepwise regulation strategy for the CO2 hydrogenation to methanol reaction

“…S6 †. According to the literature, 73 the reduction peaks of the Cu/MoO x -mix, Cu/MoO x , and Li–Cu/MoO x catalysts in the range of 400–650 °C are attributed to the reduction of the Mo 6+ species to Mo 4+ species, and the reduction peaks in the range of 650–900 °C are assigned to the reduction of Mo 4+ species to Mo. For these three catalysts, the maximum reaction temperature for their performance evaluation was 260 °C, which was significantly lower than the reduction temperature of the MoO x species.…”

Research progress of catalysts for synthesis of low-carbon alcohols from synthesis gas

“…Finally, the hydrogenation reaction of alkyl and acyl groups forms hydrocarbons and mixed alcohols on molybdenum sites of different valences. Li et al 38 prepared new MoO 2 by RF induced thermal plasma method. The core–shell catalyst has small particle sizes, an amorphous shell, and a crystalline core with strong core–shell interaction and abundant surface species in the shell, so as to improve its catalytic performance.…”

Engineering of Yolk/Core–Shell Structured Nanoreactors for Thermal Hydrogenations

“…The shell was treated under extreme conditions to form a special phase with more active sites so that the MoO 2 @MoO X ‐Pla can efficiently and stably convert syngas to higher alcohols. [ 70 ]…”

“…The shell was treated under extreme conditions to form a special phase with more active sites so that the MoO 2 @MoO X -Pla can efficiently and stably convert syngas to higher alcohols. [70] Besides the development of shell materials, the whole coreshell structure has been enriched and investigated for CO hydrogenation. For example, the core-shell Fe 3 O 4 @MnO 2 catalyst was combined with a hollow HZSM-5 zeolite to form a bifunctional Fe 3 O 4 @MnO 2 -Hol HZSM-5 catalyst (Figure 8).…”
