Morphology and chemical behavior of model CsOx/Cu2O/Cu(111) nanocatalysts for methanol synthesis: Reaction with CO2 and H2
Abstract
Cs is a promoter of Cu-based catalysts for the synthesis of alcohols from CO2 hydrogenation. Scanning tunneling microscopy and ambient-pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to study the morphology and chemical properties of surfaces generated by the deposition of cesium on Cu2O/Cu(111) and Cu(111) substrates. CsOx nanostructures were formed after Cs metal was deposited on Cu2O/Cu(111) at 300 K. The formed CsOx protrude over the surface of copper oxide by 2–4 Å, with the dimension at the base of the nanostructures being in the range of 1–3 nm. Heating to elevated temperature induced significant changes in the size and dispersion of the CsOx nanostructures, and there was a clear reconstruction of the copper oxide substrate, which then exhibited long range order with a hexagonally packed structure. The as-deposited and annealed surfaces of CsOx/Cu2O/Cu(111) were more reactive toward CO2 than plain Cu2O/Cu(111) or clean Cu(111). Yet, none of them were stable in the presence of H2, which fully reduced the copper oxide at 400–450 K. In CsOx/Cu(111), the CsOx nanoclusters were dispersed all over the metallic copper in no particular order. The CsOx species had an average width of 2 nm and ~1 Å height. The CsOx/Cu(111) systems exhibited the highestmore »
