Malte Behrens,Felix Studt,Igor Kasatkin,Stefanie Kühl,Michael Hävecker,Frank Abild-Pedersen,Stefan Zander,Frank Girgsdies,Patrick Kurr,Benjamin-Louis Kniep,Michael Tovar,Richard W. Fischer,Jens K. Nørskov,Jens K. Nørskov,Robert Schlögl +14 more
TL;DR: This work shows how to identify the crucial atomic structure motif for the industrial Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 methanol synthesis catalyst by using a combination of experimental evidence from bulk, surface-sensitive, and imaging methods collected on real high-performance catalytic systems in combination with density functional theory calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of Lattice Strain and Defects in Copper Particles on the Activity of Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 Catalysts for Methanol Synthesis
TL;DR: A quantitative estimation of imperfections in metal particles determined by combination of independent TEM and in situ XRD investigations is established and the implications of strain in Cu crystallites and the defect frequency associated therewith on the catalytic activity of Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts in methanol synthesis are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phase-pure Cu,Zn,Al Hydrotalcite-like Materials as Precursors for Copper rich Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 Catalysts
TL;DR: In this article, a series of hydrotalcite-like (htl) compounds of the general composition (Cu,Zn)1−xAlx(OH)2(CO3)x/2·m H2O was prepared with a fixed Cu:Zn ratio of 70:30.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetics of deactivation on Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 methanol synthesis catalysts
Matthias B. Fichtl,David Schlereth,Nikolas Jacobsen,Igor Kasatkin,Igor Kasatkin,Julia Schumann,Malte Behrens,Robert Schlögl,Olaf Hinrichsen +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a power law model for the catalyst activity with time on stream is derived, and it is shown that the presence of water provokes a steep loss in active surface area and specific activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative study of hydrotalcite-derived supported Pd2Ga and PdZn intermetallic nanoparticles as methanol synthesis and methanol steam reforming catalysts
Antje Ota,Edward L. Kunkes,Igor Kasatkin,Elena Groppo,Davide Ferri,Beatriz Poceiro,Rufino Manuel Navarro Yerga,Malte Behrens +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an effective and versatile synthetic approach to produce well-dispersed supported intermetallic nanoparticles is presented that allows a comparative study of the catalytic properties of different inter-metallic phases while minimizing the influence of differences in preparation history.
