Abstract

Abstract:

Cu nanoclusters supported on Co nanosheets (denoted Cu/Co) were prepared using lysine as a surfactant template. The shape of the Cu/Co catalyst promotes selective hydrogenation of CO, enhancing CO conversion and the selectivity for higher alcohols, and decreasing methane selectivity, which is in marked contrast to current Cu-Co bimetallic nanoparticle catalysts. The distinct functional interface of the Cu(111) surface with face-centered cubic structure with the Co(100) surface with hexagonal closed-packed structure in the Cu/Co catalyst provides a breakthrough in understanding the catalytic nature of metal-metal interactions. The design of this bimetallic catalyst bridges the gap between model catalysts and realistic catalytic applications, and will ultimately allow us to gain a fundamental understanding of the mechanism of syngas conversion to higher alcohols.

Key words: Copper nanocluster, Cobalt nanosheet, Bimetallic catalyst, Functional interface, Carbon monoxide hydrogenation
