摘要

For CO2 hydrogenation over iron-based catalysts, revealing the promoting effect of manganese and the nature of catalytically active sites remains a challenge that hinders targeted catalyst design. Here we elucidate the manganese-modulated restructuring of such catalysts during preconditioning and CO2 hydrogenation using in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The reaction-induced decoration of the surface of iron carbide with a MnO-containing layer is essential to hinder methane formation in favour of C2–C4 olefins and C5+ hydrocarbons. The selectivity changes were rationalized via spatially resolved steady-state and time-resolved (micro)kinetic tests combined with density functional theory calculations. The promoter affects the ability of iron carbide to generate surface species from H2, CO2 and C2H4, thus controlling the surface C/H ratio, which is decisive for product selectivity. Consequently, the design of efficient multi-component heterogeneous catalysts requires a thorough understanding of the optimal catalyst architecture and, in particular, how to generate and stabilize it under reaction conditions.
