Micro-Structure Engineering in Pd-InO Catalysts and Mechanism Studies for CO Hydrogenation to Methanol.

Significant interest has emerged for the application of Pd-InO catalysts as high-performance catalysts for CO hydrogenation to CHOH. However, precise active site control in these catalysts and understanding their reaction mechanisms remain major challenges. In this investigation, a series of Pd-InO catalysts were synthesized, revealing three distinct types of active sites: In-O, Pd-O(H)-In, and PdIn.

Tailoring Zeolite L-Supported-Cu Catalysts for CO Hydrogenation: Insights into the Mechanism of CHOH and CO Formation.

The utilization of Cu-based catalysts in CO conversion into valuable chemicals is of significant interest due to their potential in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. However, the controllable design of Cu-based catalysts and the regulation of their mechanism remain challenging. In this study, a series of efficient Cu/L catalysts were prepared for this process, and the intrinsic influencing factors on the reaction routes were systematically revealed.
