Abstract

The addition of iron and manganese has a strong effect on the Cu/ZrO2 catalyst performance for alcohols synthesis. The structures of catalysts have been investigated using X-ray adsorption spectroscopy and diffuse reflectance FTIR spectroscopy of absorbed CO. It is found that the Cu-Fe species and the interaction between them play an important role in converting the activity center for methanol synthesis to the center for higher alcohols synthesis.
