Possibility of Direct Conversion of CH4 and CO2 to High-Value Products

TL;DR: In this article, the possibilities of low-temperature activation of CH4 and hydrogenation of CO2 were analyzed, and the feasibility of the direct conversion of CH 4 and CO 2 to oxygenated compounds by means of a two-step reaction sequence at low temperature was studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reaction mechanisms of methanol synthesis from CO/CO2 hydrogenation on Cu2O(111): Comparison with Cu(111)

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic theoretical study was performed to investigate methanol synthesis from CO/CO2 hydrogenation and the water-gas-shift (WGS) reaction on Cu(111) and Cu2O(111), using density functional theory (DFT) and kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Theoretical studies on the reaction mechanisms of AlOOH- and γ-Al2O3-catalysed methanol dehydration in the gas and liquid phases

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the liquid environment on the reaction mechanism in slurry reactors has not been fully investigated, but it has been shown that liquid paraffin can influence surface relaxation, Mulliken charges, and adsorptive behavior of γ-Al 2 O 3 and AlOOH.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis of AlOOH slurry catalyst and catalytic activity for methanol dehydration to dimethyl ether

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of AlOOH slurry catalysts was investigated in slurry reactor for the dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether (DME) using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and nitrogen adsorption.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis of Cu nanoparticles for large-scale preparation

TL;DR: In this article, the DEA was used as reductant, solvent, surface modifier and shape controller to synthesize nano-copper nanoparticles, which were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS and FT-IR.
