Asymmetric Sites on the ZnZrO_x Catalyst for Promoting Formate Formation and Transformation in CO₂ Hydrogenation

The role of formate species for CO₂ hydrogenation is still under debate. Although formate has been frequently observed and commonly proposed as the possible intermediate, there is no definite evidence for the reaction of formate species for methanol production. Here, formate formation and conversion over the ZnZrO_x solid...

Highly dispersed Cd cluster supported on TiO2 as an efficient catalyst for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol

The conversion of CO2 with high activity and high selectivity to methanol remains challenging because of both the kinetics and thermodynamics difficulties associated with the chemical reactivity of CO2. Herein, we report a new catalyst of Cd/TiO2 enabling 81% methanol selectivity at 15.8% CO2 conversion with the CH4 selectivity below 0.7%. The...

Strength formation mechanism and performance of steel slag self-compacting epoxy resin concrete

A self-compacting steel slag epoxy resin concrete (SERC) was designed with steel slag as aggregate and epoxy resin as binder for rapid repair of road expansion joints and pavement. At the same time, a group of self-compacting basalt epoxy resin concrete (BERC) with basalt as coarse aggregate and limestone as fine aggregate was set up as the...

A highly selective and stable ZnO-ZrO₂ solid solution catalyst for CO₂ hydrogenation to methanol

Although methanol synthesis via CO hydrogenation has been industrialized, CO₂ hydrogenation to methanol still confronts great obstacles of low methanol selectivity and poor stability, particularly for supported metal catalysts under industrial conditions. We report a binary metal oxide, ZnO-ZrO₂ solid solution catalyst,...
