CO hydrogenation catalyzed by supported Ni-Cu bimetallic catalysts
A series of Ni-Cu/ZnO and a series of Ni-Cu/SiO2 catalysts were prepared by coprecipitation and impregnation methods, respectively, and studied in CO hydrogenation. The results revealed the presence of metal-support interactions between Cu and ZnO, and between Ni and ZnO, and a bimetallic interaction between Ni and Cu. The bimetallic interaction affected the metal-support interactions.
