Mechanism of methanol synthesis from CO₂ on Cu/CeO₂ and Cu/W-CeO₂: a DFT investigation into the nature of W-doping

Abstract

Cu/CeO2 catalysts have garnered great interest for efficient methanol synthesis from CO2, and recent report found that doping W into CeO2 to construct Cu/W-CeO2 significantly improves methanol productivity and selectivity....
