Abstract

Cu/ZnO_x in UiO-66, namely, Cu/ZnO_x@UiO-66, was synthesized using a double solvent method with controllable Cu/Zn ratios. Due to the ultra-small nanoparticles confined in the metal–organic framework and the special Cu/ZnO_x interface, this composite Cu/ZnO_x@UiO-66 catalyst showed excellent performance for CO₂ hydrogenation to methanol. In fact, the space–time yield of methanol is enhanced by 5.5 and 8.5 times compared with those on the commercialized Cu/ZnO/Al₂O₃ and the Cu/ZnO_x@UiO-66 prepared with the traditional impregnation method. Furthermore, the catalyst shows good stability over a period of 100 h on stream.
