Congratulations to Yichen for sucessfully publishing his paper on Highly-selective CO2 conversion via reverse water gas shift reaction over the 0.5 wt% Ru-promoted Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst in Applied Catalysis A: General.
Highlights
- 0.5 wt% Ru promotion improves CO2 conversion of Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 two-fold.
- The Ru promotion improves the Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 stability two-fold.
- The mechanism of catalyst deactivation at 700°C is coking.
- The Ru-promoted catalyst maintains complete selectivity to CO formation.
- CH4 formation is prevented by Cu deposition on Ru nanoparticles.
