Abstract: The preparation methods of the Cu/ZrO2 catalyst are introduced. The effects of promoters on the physiochemical and catalytic properties of the Cu/ZrO2 catalyst are presented. The applications of the Cu/ZrO2 catalyst in the synthesis of methanol from hydrogenation of CO and/or CO2，production of hydrogen from steam reforming of alcohols，dehydrogenation of diethanolamine to diglycolamidic salt，dehydrogenation of cyclohexanol to cyclohexanone，and reductive amination of cyclohexanol to cyclohexylamine are summarized.
