摘要

The hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol represents a promising route for carbon capture and utilization, yet designing catalysts that simultaneously achieve high activity, selectivity, and stability remains a major challenge. Here, we engineer a Fe-Zn co-doped ZrO2 catalyst featuring highly active interfacial sites using a CO2 supercritical treatment strategy. In situ spectroscopic and microscopic characterizations confirm that the Fe-Zn dual-doping formed asymmetric M-O-Zr (M = Fe, Zn) sites and increased the oxygen vacancy concentration, which significantly enhances CO2 adsorption and promotes the hydrogenation of key intermediates (HCOO* and COOH*) toward methanol. The optimized Fe2Zn-ZrO2 catalyst exhibits a methanol formation rate more than 10 times that of undoped ZrO2, achieving 81.9% methanol selectivity at 300 °C. Moreover, it demonstrates remarkable stability over 100 h and a high space-time yield of 655.5 g kg−1 h−1 under industrially relevant conditions. This work highlights the crucial role of bimetallic doping in constructing highly active interfacial sites and provides a feasible strategy for developing efficient CO2 hydrogenation catalysts.
