The ever-increasing amount of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions has resulted
in great environmental impacts. The selective hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol, the first …

Background: The majority of complex and advanced materials contain nanoparticles. The
properties of these materials depend crucially on the size and shape of these nanoparticles …

The hydrogen economy is being pursued quite vigorously since hydrogen is an important
and green energy source with a variety of applications as fuel for transportation, fuel cell …

In situ transmission electron microscopy is used to obtain atom-resolved images of copper
nanocrystals on different supports. These are catalysts for methanol synthesis and …

Active sites and structure–activity relationships for methanol synthesis from a stoichiometric
mixture of CO2 and H2 were investigated for a series of coprecipitated Cu-based catalysts …

Surface mechanisms for methanol–steam reforming on Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts are
developed which account for all three of the possible overall reactions: methanol and steam …

Dynamic changes in the structure and catalytic activity of Cu/ZnO methanol synthesis
catalysts have been investigated by a further developed in situ method, which combines X …

Abstract Although Cu/ZnO-based catalysts have been long used for the hydrogenation of
CO2 to methanol, open questions still remain regarding the role and the dynamic nature of …

Heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO2) to methanol is a practical
approach to mitigating its greenhouse effect in the environment while generating good …

Cu/ZnO catalysts with different mean Cu particle sizes were prepared by wet impregnation of
copper nitrate onto a zinc oxide support. Their performance was studied in methanol …
