Abstract:

Methanol is an important organic chemical and fuel for transportation and mobile devices. When used as a fuel，it is a cleaner energy compared with most other energy sources. Although methanol synthesis has attracted worldwide research interest in the past 40 years，the synthesis mechanism and the nature of active sites are yet to be fully understood. The current state of the reaction mechanism and active sites of methanol synthesis over Cu-based catalyst are reviewed in this paper. It will provide reference to the development of high-quality catalysts.

摘要：

甲醇不仅是一种重要的有机化工原料，而且可以单独或与汽油混合作为汽车燃料，具有节能与环保的双重优势。甲醇合成反应研究尽管有四十多年的历史，但有关甲醇合成反应机理及催化剂活性中心类型等方面的问题仍存在争议。本文综述了近几年来在铜基催化剂上甲醇合成催化反应机理及催化剂活性中心的研究进展，以期提高人们对甲醇合成反应催化本质的认识，并为优良催化剂的开发提供一定借鉴。
