Oxygen vacancies generated by Sn-doped ZrO2 promoting the synthesis of dimethyl carbonate from methanol and CO2. [PDF]
Oxygen vacancy sites on a catalyst surface have been extensively studied and been proved to promote the adsorption and activation of carbon dioxide. We use Sn-doped ZrO2 to prepare a Zr/Sn catalyst rich in oxygen vacancies (OVs) by co-precipitation.
