Electronic modulation of a copper/zinc oxide catalyst by a heterojunction for selective hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to methanol.

Methanol from CO 2: For the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide, a marked increase in the methanol selectivity was observed when the reaction was catalyzed by Cu/rod-shaped ZnO/CdSe with heterojunction structure. Diffusion reflectance, photoluminescence, and ESR spectroscopies clearly indicated an incre...
