abstract = {Catalytically synthesized methanol from H2 and CO2 using
porous Cu/ZnO aggregates is a promising, carbon neutral, and
renewable alternative to replace fossil fuel based transport
fuels. However, the absence of surface-engineered model
systems to understand and improve the industrial Cu/ZnO
catalyst poses a big technological gap in efforts to
increase industrial methanol conversion efficiency. In this
work, we report a novel process for the fabrication of
patterned, vertically aligned high aspect ratio 1D
nanostructures on Si that can be used as an engineered model
catalyst. The proposed strategy employs near-field phase
shift lithography (NF-PSL), deep reactive ion etching
(DRIE), and atomic layer deposition (ALD) to pattern, etch,
and coat Si wafers to produce high aspect ratio 1D
nanostructures. Using this method, we produced a model
system consisting of high aspect ratio Cu-decorated ZnO
nanotubes (NTs) to investigate the morphological effects of
ZnO catalyst support in comparison to the planar Cu/ZnO
catalyst in terms of the catalytic reactions. The engineered
catalysts performed 70 times better in activating CO2 than
the industrial catalyst. In light of the obtained results,
several important points are highlighted, and
recommendations are made to achieve higher catalytic
performance.},
