Published: March 2019

Small and narrowly distributed Cu nanoparticles, supported on SiO decorated with isolated Ti sites, prepared through surface organometallic chemistry, showed significantly improved CO hydrogenation activity and CH OH selectivity compared to the corresponding Cu nanoparticles supported on SiO . These isolated Lewis acid Ti sites, evidenced by UV/Vis spectroscopy, are proposed to stabilize surface intermediates at the interface between Cu nanoparticles and the support.
