In this work, a series of In, Zr, Co, and Ni-doped CuO-ZnO catalysts wassynthesized via a hydrothermal method. By introducing a second metal element, the activity and dispersion of the activesites can be adjusted and the synergy between the metal and the carrier can be enhanced, forming an abundance of oxygenvacancies. Oxygen vacancies not only adsorb CO_(2) but also activate the intermediates in methanol synthesis, playing a keyrole in the entire reaction. Co3O4-CuO-ZnO had the best catalytic performance (a CO_(2) conversion rate of 9.17%;a CH_(3)OHselectivity of 92.77%). This study describes a typical strategy for multi-component doping to construct a catalyst with anabundance of oxygen vacancies, allowing more effective catalysis to synthesize CH_(3)OH from CO_(2).展开更多

The morphology and structure as well as the catalytic performance for dimethyl oxalate(DMO) hydrogenation to ethylene glycol(EG) were investigated. Through annealing the zinc copper hydroxide carbonate(ZCHC) precursors, the Cu/ZnO flower-like hierarchical porous structures were obtained, which were assembled by a number of porous nanosheets. The catalyst made of these well-defined flower-like hierarchical porous structures with large specific surface area and effective gas diffusion path via the well-aligned porous structures showed higher EG selectivity and yield as compared to the Cu/ZnO catalyst obtained by conventional co-precipitation technique. The results indicated that the Cu/ZnO flower-like hierarchical porous structures have excellent potential application for manufacture of high performance catalysts.展开更多
