“…However, the main products of CO2 hydrogenation are carbon monoxide (CO) and methane (CH4), while low alcohols and dimethyl ether are produced (Ren et al, 2015;Riaz et al, 2013). In order to improve alcohol selectivity, many researchers have focused on the important factors, e.g., metal catalysts (Chinniyomphanich et al, 2016;Bonura et al, 2014), promoters (Angelo et al, 2015;Rafati et al, 2015), supports (Ren et al, 2015;Kiatphuengporn et al, 2014), catalyst preparation techniques (Romero-Sáez et al, 2016), and operating conditions (Riaz et al, 2013).…”
