How does the metal-promoted In2O3 catalyst choose the pathway for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol?

Abstract

Through the investigation of electronic metal-support interaction between Au nanocluster and In2O3-x, with the comparison of other metal-promoted In2O3 catalysts, |ICOHP|min, determined by the weakest C-O bond of adsorbed CO2 and COOH, was proposed as a descriptor to predict pathway and activity of metal-promoted In2O3 catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol.
