This project investigates the stability of copper-supported catalysts for high-pressure CO₂ hydrogenation to methanol. By combining advanced characterization, model catalyst systems, and surface modification strategies, it aims to understand deactivation mechanisms and develop more efficient and catalysts.
This project focuses on the stability of copper-supported catalysts for high-pressure CO₂ hydrogenation to methanol, a key reaction for sustainable fuel and chemical production. Maximizing the CO₂ content in the feed, aiming for a pure CO₂ stream, is highly desirable as it directly utilizes CO₂ as the carbon source, improving both process efficiency and sustainability. However, the mechanisms behind catalyst deactivation under high water formation, remain poorly understood. Water accelerates particle growth and catalyst degradation, limiting efficiency and lifetime.
