Pd-modified CuO-ZnO-Al2O3 catalysts via mixed-phases-containing precursor for methanol synthesis from CO2 hydrogenation under mild conditions

A series of palladium-modified (Pd-modified) CuO-ZnO-Al2O3 (CZA) catalysts with various Pd loadings (0.3 wt% to 2.4 wt%) were prepared using the wetness impregnation method, on two CZA supports with different structures that are CZA-aged precursor composed of a mixture of zincian-malachite and hydro...

description A series of palladium-modified (Pd-modified) CuO-ZnO-Al2O3 (CZA) catalysts with various Pd loadings (0.3 wt% to 2.4 wt%) were prepared using the wetness impregnation method, on two CZA supports with different structures that are CZA-aged precursor composed of a mixture of zincian-malachite and hydrotalcite-like phases (CZA-zH), and CuO-ZnO-Al2O3 metal oxide nanoparticles (CZA-MO). Enhancement on catalytic activity can be observed on both Pd-modified CZA catalysts in a temperature range of 180–240 °C for methanol synthesis via CO2 hydrogenation. Pd/CZA-zH catalysts exhibited a more efficient and stable production of methanol at a relatively low reaction temperature of 180 °C for 100 hrs of reaction. The improvement of activity is mainly ascribed to a higher surface area and abundant oxygen-containing functional groups (e.g., –OH) of CZA-zH support, which is beneficial for better adsorption and distribution of Pd promoter. Hydrogen temperature programmed reduction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results demonstrated a better interaction between Pd and Cu on Pd/CZA-zH catalysts via enhanced reducibility of CuO, and peak shift of Cu to a lower binding energy. The difference in the efficient utilization of hydrogen spillover effect of Pd promoter over two CZA supports resulted in the different performances for methanol synthesis under mild reaction conditions.
