Revealing Origins of Methanol Selectivity Loss in CO2 Hydrogenation over CuZn-Containing Catalysts

Nils Ortner et al.

Summary: CO2 hydrogenation to methanol proceeds through two parallel reactions, with CH3OH decomposition mainly contributing to the loss of CH3OH selectivity. The decomposition is accelerated by H2O but negatively affected by H2 and rising total pressure. The reaction occurs on separate sites from CH3OH synthesis and can be suppressed by site saturation. This concept provides fundamental insights for catalyst design and reaction optimization for selective CH3OH synthesis.

First principles investigations of structural and electronic properties of Ga-doped ZnZrOx solid solutions for catalytic reduction of CO2

Sajjad Hussain et al.

Summary: In this study, density functional theory was used to explore the structural, electronic and catalytic properties of ZnZrOx and gallium-doped ZnZrOx catalysts. The doping of Zn atoms reduced the coordination numbers of Zr atoms, and heavily Zn-doped ZrO2 systems deviated from the perfect tetragonal phase. The bandgap of ZnZrOx was reduced from 4.45 to 2.45 eV at approximately 29.16% Zn concentration, while the insertion of Ga increased the bandgap of ZnZrOx solid solutions. Ga doping improved the CO2 adsorption ability and H2 dissociation ability of ZnZrOx solid solutions.

Structural evolution and catalytic performance in CO2 hydrogenation reaction of ZnO-ZrO2 composite oxides

Jieqiong Ding et al.

Summary: In this study, ZnO-ZrO2 composite oxides were prepared via co-precipitation method and their structural evolution and catalytic performance in CO2 hydrogenation reaction were comprehensively studied. The phase structures of the composite oxides evolved with increasing Zr content, leading to different nucleation and growth behaviors of Zn-doped ZrO2 solid solution nanoparticles compared to ZnO nanoparticles. The composite oxides exhibited higher catalytic activity than pure ZnO, t-ZrO2, and m-ZrO2, with different selectivity towards CH3OH and CO production. The key intermediates for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol and CO were identified as bidentate formate species and carbonates/bicarbonates species, respectively.
