Catalytic performance of Cu/ZnO/Al2O3/ZrO2 for slurry methanol synthesis from CO2 hydrogenation: effect of Cu/Zn molar ratio

Catalytic hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO2) to methanol is an attractive way to recycle and utilize CO2. A series of Cu/ZnO/Al2O3/ZrO2 catalysts (CZAZ) containing different molar ratios of Cu/Zn were prepared by the co-precipitation method. The catalysts were characterized by temperature-program...
