Abstract

The new Cu/SiO2 catalyst is developed by the atomic layer epitaxy (ALE) method. The ALE-Cu/SiO2 catalyst with high dispersion and nanoscale Cu particles appears to have very different catalytic properties from those of the typical Cu-based catalysts, which have satisfactory thermal stability to resist the sintering of Cu particles at 773 K. Due to the formation of small Cu particles, the ALE-Cu/SiO2 can strongly bind CO and give high catalytic activity for CO2 converted to CO in the reverse water-gas-shift reaction. The catalytic activity decreases in the order of 2.4% ALE-Cu/SiO2 = 2% Pt/SiO2 > 2% Pd/SiO2 ≫ 10.3% IM-Cu/SiO2.
