Περίληψη

The production of either CO or CH4 via the hydrogenation of CO2 is amongst the most promising routes for CO2 utilization. However, kinetic barriers necessitate the use of a catalyst, with Ni/CeO2 being one of the most investigated systems. Nevertheless, surface chemistry fine-tuning via appropriate promotional routes can induce significant modifications on the solid-state properties of catalysts and in turn on their activity/selectivity. In the present work, we originally report on the outstanding selectivity alteration of Ni/CeO2 by ZnO doping. Specifically, Ni-based catalysts supported on ZnO, CeO2 nanorods or a mixed ZnO-CeO2 oxide were synthesized by a modified hydrothermal method and characterized by various physicochemical methods. Notable changes in the reaction pathway were demonstrated, as the presence of ZnO largely favored CO production at T < 450 oC for both Ni/ZnO and Ni/ZnO-CeO2, whereas Ni/CeO2 was completely selective to CH4. These findings were interpreted on the basis of ZnO-induced inhibitory effects on key activity/selectivity descriptors like the redox and basic properties, as well as on the adsorption affinity of CO species, which are considered as intermediate species for CO2 methanation.
