Ru Nanoparticle Supported by Mesoporous SiOx and Pillared Montmorillonite: Suppressing Catalyst Inhibition in Carbon Dioxide Hydrogenation

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Ru nanoparticles confined within mesoporous SiOx‐pillared montmorillonite exhibit exceptional performance for CO2 methanation. The catalyst maintains a high reaction rate even at elevated CO2 conversion while preserving high Ru mass–specific activity, overcoming typical inhibition by H2O and CO observed in conventional supported Ru catalysts.
