Identifying the nature of the active sites in methanol synthesis over Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts

Methanol synthesis has a high potential for global CO2 reduction. Here, the authors identify the oxidation state of the zinc sites on the metallic copper particles as partially positive for an industrial Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst under high-pressure reaction conditions.
