Core-Shell Catalyst CuO-ZnO-Al2O3@Al2O3 for Dimethyl Ether Synthesis from Syngas
Core-shell structure catalyst CuO-ZnO-Al2O3@Al2O3 was prepared using glucose as template. This novel preparation procedure and the specific core-shell structure contributed to excellent performance for dimethyl ether (DME) direct synthesis from syngas. This catalyst showed higher CO conversion and DME selectivity compared with the physically mixed catalyst.
