Abstract
For the hydrogenation of CO2 to CO, tungsten disulfide prepared by decomposing ammonium tetrathiotungstate, was found to exhibit high activity and good selectivity (>99.9%). Large surface area, viz., 64 m2g−1, is primarily responsible for the high activity, while the lack of activity in CO methanation for the good selectivity.
