“…Notably, the specific surface area of the material was found to increase with the amount of metal precursors, which is possible because more acetate anions generate large amounts of gas in air at 400 °C leading to an increase in both their specific surface area and pore volume (Table ). ,− Subsequently, CO 2 adsorption tests were conducted on Al 2 O 3 , Pd 0.25 Cu 0.75 /Al 2 O 3 -0.1, and Pd 0.25 Cu 0.75 /Al 2 O 3 –0.4 at 25 °C (Figure c). It is worth noting that Al 2 O 3 , Pd 0.25 Cu 0.75 /Al 2 O 3 -0.1, and Pd 0.25 Cu 0.75 /Al 2 O 3 -0.4 all have better adsorption performance on CO 2 , which might benefit from their advantages of large specific surface area, rich mesoporous structure, and surface basic sites. ,− The adsorption capacity of the catalysts for CO 2 increase with the enhancement of the metal precursor amount.…”
