Abstract

A series of La–Mn–Zn–Cu–O based perovskite ceramic precursors were prepared and characterized by XRD, N2-adsorption, SEM, H2-TPR, N2O-adsorption, XPS and TPD techniques. Both La2CuO4 and LaMnO3 perovskite structures were observed for the materials and more defects and the “metal-on oxide” can be realized via reduction. It was found that the samples with both La2CuO4 and LaMnO3 structures showed better catalytic performance for methanol synthesis from CO2/H2. Higher methanol selectivity might due to the appearance of Cuα+ that derived from the abundant defects of perovskite structure. The ratio of both Cuα+ and Cu0 species to the total copper species was the significant factor for the CO2 conversion.
