CO2 hydrogenation to methanol with renewable H-2 is an ideal process for coupling reduction of greenhouse gas and development of sustainable methanol economy, and Cu-ZnO-ZrO2 is regarded as a promising catalyst for this process. Identification of the key descriptors that control the catalytic activity and selectivity is one of the most important issues for this reaction. Here, we identify the role of water in the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol, which strongly affects the selectivity and yield of methanol, Our results reveal that methanol is generated via the hydrolysis of methoxy formed by the hydrogenation of formate, and the desorbed water vapor facilitates the hydrolysis of methoxy. A suitable amount of water in the feed can promote the formation of methanol. The enhancement on the water vapor diffusion in catalysts by structural and/or surface modification offers a new strategy for tuning the selectivity and yield of methanol.
