Abstract Methanol is a major fuel and chemical feedstock currently produced from syngas, a CO/CO 2 /H 2 mixture. Herein we identify formate binding strength as a key parameter limiting the activity and stability of known catalysts for methanol synthesis in the presence of CO 2 . We present a molybdenum phosphide catalyst for CO and CO 2 reduction to methanol, which through a weaker interaction with formate, can improve the activity and stability of methanol synthesis catalysts in a wide range of CO/CO 2 /H 2 feeds.
