CO2 hydrogenation to methanol on In2O3/ZrO2 fibrillar catalysts.

Abstract

Hydrogenation of CO2 to produce methanol is regarded as one of the most promising processes for achieving full deployment of carbon capture, utilization and storage technologies, which are needed to decrease the emission of greenhouse gases. In this communication, In2O3-ZrO2 nanostructured fibrillar catalysts, prepared by electrospinning technique, has been proposed for CO2 hydrogenation. The effect of the calcination temperature as well as the indium loading on the CO2 conversion have been evaluated.
