abstract = {Although Cu/ZnO-based catalysts have been long used for the
hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol, open questions still
remain regarding the role and the dynamic nature of the
active sites formed at the metal-oxide interface. Here, we
apply high-pressure operando spectroscopy methods to
well-defined Cu and Cu0.7Zn0.3 nanoparticles supported on
ZnO/Al2O3, γ-Al2O3 and SiO2 to correlate their structure,
composition and catalytic performance. We obtain similar
activity and methanol selectivity for Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 and
CuZn/SiO2, but the methanol yield decreases with time on
stream for the latter sample. Operando X-ray absorption
spectroscopy data reveal the formation of reduced Zn species
coexisting with ZnO on CuZn/SiO2. Near-ambient pressure
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy shows Zn surface
segregation and the formation of a ZnO-rich shell on
CuZn/SiO2. In this work we demonstrate the beneficial effect
of Zn, even in diluted form, and highlight the influence of
the oxide support and the Cu-Zn interface in the
reactivity.},
