Abstract Cu-based catalysts have attracted much interest in CO2 hydrogenation to methanol because of their high activity. However, the effect of interface, coordination structure, particle size and other underlying factors existed in heterogeneous catalysts render to complex active sites on its surface, therefore it is difficult to study the real active sites for methanol synthesis. Here, we report a novel Cu-based catalyst with isolated Cu active sites (Cu1-O3 units) for highly selective hydrogenating CO2 to methanol at low temperature (100% selectivity for methanol at 180 oC). Experimental and theoretical results reveal that the single-atom Cu-Zr catalyst with Cu1-O3 units is only contributed to synthesize methanol at 180 oC, but the Cu clusters or nanoparticles with Cu-Cu or Cu-O-Cu active sites will promote the process of reverse water gas shift (RWGS) side reaction to form undesirable byproducts CO. Furthermore, the Cu1-O3 units with tetrahedral structure could gradually migrate to the catalyst surface for accelerating CO2 hydrogenation reaction during catalytic process. The high activity isolated Cu-based catalyst with legible structure will be helpful to understand the real active sites of Cu-based catalysts for methanol synthesis from CO2 hydrogenation, thereby guiding further design the Cu catalyst with high performance to meet the industrial demand, at the same time as extending the horizontal of single atom catalyst for application in the thermal catalytic process of CO2 hydrogenation.

AbstractAsymmetric hydroboration of simple and unactivated terminal alkenes (α-olefins), feedstock chemicals derived from the petrochemical industry, has not been efficiently realized for past decades. Using a bulky ANIPE ligand, we achieved a rare example of highly enantioselective copper-catalyzed Markovnikov hydroboration of α-olefins. The chiral secondary alkylboronic ester products were obtained in moderate to good yields and regioselectivities with excellent enantioselectivities.1 Introduction2 Conditions Optimization3 Substrate Scope4 Application5 Mechanistic Discussion6 Conclusions and Future Directions

In order to explore co-production alternatives, a once-through process for CO2 hydrogenation to chemicals and liquid fuels was investigated experimentally. In this approach, two different catalysts were considered; the first was a Cu-based catalyst that hydrogenates CO2 to methanol and CO and the second a Fisher–Tropsch (FT) Co-based catalyst. The two catalysts were loaded into different reactors and were initially operated separately. The experimental results show that: (1) the Cu catalyst was very active in both the methanol synthesis and reverse-water gas shift (R-WGS) reactions and these two reactions were restricted by thermodynamic equilibrium; this was also supported by an Aspen plus simulation of an (equilibrium) Gibbs reactor. The Aspen simulation results also indicated that the reactor can be operated adiabatically under certain conditions, given that the methanol reaction is exothermic and R-WGS is endothermic. (2) the FT catalyst produced mainly CH4 and short chain saturated hydrocarbons when the feed was CO2/H2. When the two reactors were coupled in series and the presence of CO in the tail gas from the first reactor (loaded with Cu catalyst) significantly improves the FT product selectivity toward higher carbon hydrocarbons in the second reactor compared to the standalone FT reactor with only CO2/H2 in the feed.
