摘要
Anatase TiO2 nanosheets（-ns-） with dominant exposed {001} facets were used as support to load copper,and the synthesized Cu/TiO2-ns catalysts were evaluated for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. Under the reaction conditions, P = 3.0 MPa, T = 260 ℃, V（N2）：V（H2）：V（CO2） = 8：69：23 and gas hourly space velocity（GHSV） = 3600 mL g-1h-1, the methanol yield reached an appealing high value, 5.6%. Copper-loading amount, calcination temperature and reduction atmosphere have been investigated in this work, which significantly influence the particle sizes of copper and/or the defect concentration in TiO2, then leading to different catalytic performance. Characterizations of XRD, EPR, CO2-TPD and FTIR demonstrate that higher specific surface area of Cu is good for the hydrogenation of CO2 and adequate amount of Ti3＋ plays important roles in CO2 activation. Both of them facilitate high turnover frequency（TOF） of methanol formation.
