The formation of methane in the reaction of CO and H2O over Rh supported on ZrO2, Al2O3, TiO2, SiO2 and MgO was examined. The high activity was achieved over Rh/ZrO2 and Rh/TiO2 at 300°C and CO dissociation ability of the catalyst was concluded to be an important factor to obtain high activity. At low temperature (c. 200°C), CO was not hydrogenated effectively but CO2 formed by the water gas shift reaction was hydrogenated after the conversion of CO into CO2 was completed. The formation of CH4 appears to occur through the water gas shift reaction, followed by the hydrogenation of carbonaceous species formed by the dissociation of CO or CO2.

The water-gas shift reaction is a key reaction in Fischer-Tropsch-type synthesis, which is widely believed to generate hydrocarbons in the deep carbon cycle, but is little known at extreme pressure-temperature conditions found in Earth’s upper mantle. Here, we performed extensive ab initio molecular dynamics simulations and free energy calculations to study the water-gas shift reaction. We found the direct formation of formic acid out of CO and supercritical water at 10∼13 GPa and 1400 K without any catalyst. Contrary to the common assumption that formic acid or formate is an intermediate product, we found that HCOOH is thermodynamically more stable than the products of the water-gas shift reaction above 3 GPa and at 1000∼1400 K. Our study suggests that the water-gas shift reaction may not happen in Earth’s upper mantle, and formic acid or formate may be an important carbon carrier, participating in many geochemical processes in deep Earth.<br>
