“…A series of M II −M III LDH precursor materials with M II -to-M III molar ratios of 2 (M II = Cu, Co, Ni, Cu-Ni, Cu-Co, and Co-Ni; M III = Mn or Al) were synthesized by their co-precipitation from solutions of the corresponding metal nitrates. 626 Of the catalysts synthesized, a CuNiMnO x mixed-oxide material was determined to be the most active, and the ternary mixed-oxide materials containing Mn were determined to be more active than the binary CuMnO x , CoMnO x , and NiMnO x catalysts (Figure 14ii). A separate study conducted by Aguilera et al 444 reported that a CoMnMgAlO x oxide catalyst exhibited a 90% ethanol conversion at 252 °C (flow rate of 200 mL•min −1 ), which provided a higher CO 2 yield than a corresponding catalyst containing Cu (CuMnMgAlO x oxide).…”
