Abstract
We study silver-zinc oxide type catalysts with and without the addition of alumina and perform structural analysis and activity tests for the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide. Adding alumina has a dispersing effect on the zinc oxide without structurally altering the silver phase. An alumina-surface enriched ZnO/Al2O3 phase is observed with an increased surface reducibility. Ag/ZnO has a high selectivity towards carbon monoxide (63 ± 12 %) and methane (24 ± 3 %) and low selectivity towards methanol (13 ± 0.5 %). Operando infrared (SSITKA-FTIR) and mass spectrometric product detection indicate methane formation via an adsorbed carbon monoxide (COads) intermediate. The selectivity changes gradually with increasing alumina content, up to 80 ± 3 % toward methanol, and 20 ± 4 % carbon monoxide without methane detection, combined with a tripling of the space time yield to 0.65 ± 0.02 mmolMeOH**h−1 at 250 °C and 30 bar. Kinetic analysis suggests that the selectivity change originates from hindering the CO-pathway, while the formate pathway leading to methanol remains active.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Catalysis publishes scholarly articles on both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, covering a wide range of chemical transformations. These include various types of catalysis, such as those mediated by photons, plasmons, and electrons. The focus of the studies is to understand the relationship between catalytic function and the underlying chemical properties of surfaces and metal complexes.
The articles in the journal offer innovative concepts and explore the synthesis and kinetics of inorganic solids and homogeneous complexes. Furthermore, they discuss spectroscopic techniques for characterizing catalysts, investigate the interaction of probes and reacting species with catalysts, and employ theoretical methods.
The research presented in the journal should have direct relevance to the field of catalytic processes, addressing either fundamental aspects or applications of catalysis.
