High dispersion by Cd incorporation leads to accelerate methanol synthesis rate in CO₂ hydrogenation over Cu-Zn/SiO₂ catalysts.

ABSTRACT: Green methanol fuel synthesis by CO₂ hydrogenation is regarded as one of the potential viable techniques for meeting future energy demands. Enhancing catalytic performance and process knowledge are crucial for the practicality of catalyzed CO₂ conversion pathways. Here, co-precipitation was utilized to prepare Cu-Zn bimetallic catalysts based on silica gel. To examine the stimulating function of Cd metal, the produced catalysts were doped with varying concentrations of the Cd metal. The nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm revealed mesoporous nature of catalysts. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) investigations as well as Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) studies concluded higher degree of metal oxides dispersion on surface of silica gel support.
