Influence of Polymorphic ZrO2 Phases and the Silver Electronic State on the Activity of Ag/ZrO2 Catalysts in the Hydrogenation of CO2 to Methanol...

摘要

Synthesis of methanol from CO2 has been widely studied during the past several years. Processing cheap raw materials such as CO2 and the need to mitigate the greenhouse effect have been among the reasons behind this research. Another important reason has been the search for new energy sources since the cycle hydrogenation of CO2-steam reforming of methanol can become a mobile source of hydrogen which is applied in fuel cells.
