Abstract

As evidenced from magnetic measurements and FTIR spectroscopy of CO, the interaction of cobalt and copper in CoCu-based catalysts results in a surface CoCu alloy. It is proposed that this alloy is responsible for the orientation of the CO + H2 reaction towards higher alcohols, probably via a dual-site mechanism which involves both Co and Cu of the alloy.
