Abstract

An Ultra-Thin overcoating of Zirconium Oxide (ZrO2) Film on CuO-ZnO-Al2O3 (CZA) Catalysts by Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) Was Proved to Enhance the Catalytic Performance of CZA/HZSM-5 (H Form of Zeolite Socony Mobil-5) Bifunctional Catalysts for Hydrogenation of CO2 to Dimethyl Ether (DME). under Optimal Reaction Conditions (I.e. 240 °C and 2.8 MPa), the Yield of Product DME Increased from 17.22% for the Bare CZA/HZSM-5 Catalysts, to 18.40% for the CZA Catalyst after 5 Cycles of ZrO2 ALD with HZSM-5 Catalyst. All the Catalysts Modified by ZrO2 ALD Displayed Significantly Improved Catalytic Stability of Hydrogenation of CO2 to DME Reaction, Compared to that of CZA/HZSM-5 Bifunctional Catalysts. the Loss of DME Yield in 100 H of Reaction Was Greatly Mitigated from 6.20% (Loss of Absolute Value) to 3.01% for the CZA Catalyst with 20 Cycles of ZrO2 ALD overcoating. Characterizations Including Hydrogen Temperature Programmed Reduction, X-Ray Powder Diffraction, and X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy Revealed that There Was Strong Interaction between Cu Active Centers and ZrO2
