The study investigated the influence of increasing Au loading on the performance of Au/ZnO in methanol synthesis through CO2 reduction, revealing that increased Au loading led to larger Au particle size and a decrease in methanol formation rate, while increasing methanol selectivity.
Methanol synthesis by CO2 reduction is an important approach for energy storage. Aiming at a reduction of the catalyst mass in technical applications, we have investigated the influence of increasing Au loading on the performance of Au/ZnO in methanol and CO formation from CO2 reduction. Using the same type of ZnO support, increased Au loading resulted also in a pronounced increase in Au particle size. The Au-mass-normalized reaction rate for methanol formation and TOF decrease with increasing Au loading/particle size, while the selectivity for methanol formation increases. CO adsorption monitored by in situ FTIR revealed a pronounced decrease of the accessible Au surface area during reaction, independent of the Au loading, pointing to a partial encapsulation of the Au nanoparticles by a partly reduced ZnOx, as described by SMSI effects. Possible reasons responsible for these effects and Au loading/size effects therein are discussed, strategies for future work are outlined.
