Abstract

The performance of an SBA-15-supported Cu catalyst for hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate to ethylene glycol is markedly promoted with Au. A key genesis of the high activity of the catalyst is ascribed to the formation of Cu–Au alloy nanoparticles which stabilize the active species and retard their agglomeration during the hydrogenation process.
