文摘The pursuit of alternative fuel generation technologies has gained momentum due to the diminishing reserves of fossil fuels and global warming from increased CO_(2)emission.Among the proposed methods,the hydrogenation of CO_(2)to produce marketable carbon-based products like methanol and ethanol is a practical approach that offers great potential to reduce CO_(2)emissions.Although significant volumes of methanol are currently produced from CO_(2),developing highly efficient and stable catalysts is crucial for further enhancing conversion and selectivity,thereby reducing process costs.An in-depth examination of the differences and similarities in the reaction pathways for methanol and ethanol production highlights the key factors that drive C-C coupling.Identifying these factors guides us toward developing more effective catalysts for ethanol synthesis.In this paper,we explore how different catalysts,through the production of various intermediates,can initiate the synthesis of methanol or ethanol.The catalytic mechanisms proposed by spectroscopic techniques and theoretical calculations,including operando X-ray methods,FTIR analysis,and DFT calculations,are summarized and presented.The following discussion explores the structural properties and composition of catalysts that influence C-C coupling and optimize the conversion rate of CO_(2)into ethanol.Lastly,the review examines recent catalysts employed for selective methanol and ethanol production,focusing on single-atom catalysts.

文摘Cu/ZnO-based catalysts are widely employed for methanol synthesis via CO_(2) hydrogenation.The preparation procedure is sensitive to the particle size and interfacial structure,which are considered as potential active centers influencing the rate of both methanol and CO formation.The particle size and the interaction between Cu and the support materials are influenced by the coprecipitation conditions,let alone that the mechanistic divergence remains unclear.In this work,a series of Cu/ZnO/ZrO_(2) catalysts were prepared via co-precipitation at different pH value and systematically characterized.The structure has been correlated with kinetic results to establish the structure-performance relationship.Kinetic analysis demonstrates that methanol synthesis follows a single-site Langmuir-Hinshelwood(L-H)mechanism,i.e.,Cu serves as the active site where CO_(2) and H_(2) competitively adsorb and react to form methanol.In contrast,CO formation proceeds via a dual-site L-H mechanism,where CO_(2) adsorbs onto ZnO and H_(2) onto Cu,with the reaction occurring at the Cu/ZnO interface.Therefore,for the direct formation of methanol,solely reducing the particle size of Cu would not be beneficial.
