This study analyzes the catalytic activity of Cu/SiO2, Cu-Fe/SiO2, and Cu/FSN catalysts in the Reverse Water Gas Shift reaction. It was found that the Fe-SiO2 nanocomposites showed remarkable catalytic enhancements under different reaction atmospheres, attributed to enhanced catalyst surface basicity and stronger Cu-support interactions. The catalytic promotion achieved by Fe-SiO2 nanocomposites presents an optimistic outlook for future CO2-valorising technologies.
This work analyses the catalytic activity displayed by Cu/SiO2, Cu-Fe/SiO2 and Cu/FSN (Fe-SiO2 nanocomposite) catalysts for the Reverse Water Gas Shift reaction. Compared to Cu/SiO2 catalyst, the presence of Fe resulted on higher CO?s selectivity and boosted resistances against the constitution of the deactivation carbonaceous species. Regarding the catalytic performance however, the extent of improvement attained through incorporation Fe species strongly relied on the catalysts' configuration. At 30 L/gh and H-2:CO2 ratios = 3, the performance of the catalysts? series increased according to the sequence: Cu/SiO2 < Cu-Fe/SiO2 << Cu/FSN. The remarkable catalytic enhancements provided by Fe-SiO2 nanocomposites under different RWGS reaction atmospheres were associated to enhanced catalyst surface basicity's and stronger Cu-support interactions. The catalytic promotion achieved by Fe-SiO2 nanocomposites argue an optimistic prospective for nanocomposite catalysts within future CO2-valorising technologies.
