The activity and durability of the Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 (CZA) catalyst formulation for methanol
synthesis from CO/CO2/H2 feeds far exceed the sum of its individual components. As such …

The recent advances in the development of heterogeneous catalysts and processes for the
direct hydrogenation of CO2 to formate/formic acid, methanol, and dimethyl ether are …

For more than half a century, the industrial production of methanol in the world has been
based on a heterogeneous Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst where Cu nanoparticles are dispersed …

The development of new catalyst materials for energy-efficient chemical synthesis is critical
as over 80% of industrial processes rely on catalysts, with many of the most energy-intensive …

In the future we will be phasing out the use of fossil fuels in favour of more sustainable forms
of energy, especially solar derived forms such as hydroelectric, wind and photovoltaic …

The activation of O2 on metal surfaces is a critical process for heterogeneous catalysis and
materials oxidation. Fundamental studies of well-defined metal surfaces using a variety of …

A heterogeneous catalyst is a functional material that continually creates active sites with its
reactants under reaction conditions. These sites change the rates of chemical reactions of …

Graphene has emerged as the most popular topic in the active research field since
graphene's discovery in 2004 by Andrei Geim and Kostya Novoselov. Since then, graphene …

We present a comprehensive mean-field microkinetic model for the methanol synthesis and
water-gas-shift (WGS) reactions that includes novel reaction intermediates, such as formic …

Understanding the energy it takes to build or break chemical bonds is essential for scientists
and engineers in a wide range of innovative fields, including catalysis, nanomaterials …
