Comment on "Active sites for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol on Cu/ZnO catalysts".

چکیده
Kattel et al (Reports, 24 March 2017, p. 1296) report that a zinc on copper (Zn/Cu) surface undergoes oxidation to zinc oxide/copper (ZnO/Cu) during carbon dioxide (CO2) hydrogenation to methanol and conclude that the Cu-ZnO interface is the active site for methanol synthesis. Similar experiments conducted two decades ago by Fujitani and Nakamura et al demonstrated that Zn is attached to formate rather than being fully oxidized.

Response to Comment on "Active sites for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol on Cu/ZnO catalysts".
In their Comment on the our recent Report, Nakamura et al argue that our x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis was affected by the presence of formate species on the catalyst surface. This argument is not valid because the reactant gases were evacuated at temperatures from 525 to 575 kelvin, conditions under which formate is not stable on the catalyst surface. An analysis of the XPS r...
متن کاملTheoretical study of catalytic reduction of CO2 with H20 by BOC-MP method
Bond-Order Conservation-Morse Potential (BOC-MP) method is used to carry out the calculationon the CO2+ H20 system. One of the best catalysts for methanol synthesis in catalytic reductionof CO2 with H2O is Cu/ZnO/A1203 whose surface is supported by with some amount of Pd orGa. Reduction of CO2 with H20 on Cu will result in methanol formation; while on Ni will lead tomethane formation. In the me...
متن کاملCatalytic Hydrogenation of CO2 to Methanol: Study of Synergistic Effect on Adsorption Properties of CO2 and H2 in CuO/ZnO/ZrO2 System
A series of CuO/ZnO/ZrO2 (CZZ) catalysts with different CuO/ZnO weight ratios have been synthesized by citrate method and tested in the catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol. Experimental results showed that the catalyst with the lowest CuO/ZnO weight ratio of 2/7 exhibited the best catalytic performance with a CO2 conversion of 32.9%, 45.8% methanol selectivity, and a process delivery of ...
متن کاملPhosphinate stabilised ZnO and Cu colloidal nanocatalysts for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol.
Colloidal solutions of ZnO-Cu nanoparticles can be used as catalysts for the reduction of carbon dioxide with hydrogen. The use of phosphinate ligands for the synthesis of the nanoparticles from organometallic precursors improves the reductive stability and catalytic activity of the system.
متن کاملA highly selective and stable ZnO-ZrO2 solid solution catalyst for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol
Although methanol synthesis via CO hydrogenation has been industrialized, CO2 hydrogenation to methanol still confronts great obstacles of low methanol selectivity and poor stability, particularly for supported metal catalysts under industrial conditions. We report a binary metal oxide, ZnO-ZrO2 solid solution catalyst, which can achieve methanol selectivity of up to 86 to 91% with CO2 single-p...
