and 20 wt%) were prepared by a modified sol-gel method. A significant promotional effect of
phosphorus on NiO-Al 2 O 3 in CO 2 hydrogenation is observed. All the catalysts reach the
highest conversion at 600° C with 61.54%, 62.89%, 63.88% and 66.13% respectively for 5
wt% NiO-Al 2 O 3, 5 wt% NiO-5P-Al 2 O 3, 5 wt% NiO-15P-Al 2 O 3 and 5 wt% NiO-20P-Al 2
O 3 catalysts. Ni/NiO/Ni 2 P/Ni 5 P 12/AlPO 4 interfacial species were detected on the …
