Rh-Mn-Li catalysts supported on SiO2, ZrO2 and SiO2-ZrO2 mixed oxides with various molar ratios of Si/Zr were prepared and tested for the synthesis of C-2-oxygenates from syngas. Compared with pure SiO2 and ZrO2 supported catalysts, catalysts supported on SiO2-ZrO2 mixed oxides showed higher activity and C-2-oxygenates selectivity, in which Rh-Mn-Li/SiO2-ZrO2 (molar ratio of Si/Zr=1:3) exhibited the best yield of C-2-oxygenates. The effect of the support on the performance of the Rh-based catalysts was investigated comprehensively by XRD, N-2 adsorption-desorption, H-2 and CO uptakes, Fr-IR, XPS, H-2-TPR, TPSR and CO-TPD techniques. The results indicated that the chemical state of Rh, CO adsorption species, dispersion of Rh and the ability of CO hydrogenation varied over catalysts supported on SiO2, ZrO2 and SiO2-ZrO2 mixed oxides, which led to the diverse catalytic activity toward C-2-oxygenates synthesis.
