Mechanism and structure–activity relationship of H<sub>2</sub> and CO<sub>2</sub> activation at the ZnO/Cu catalyst interface
Xin Xin, Peng Gao, Shenggang Li
Abstract
The ZnO/Cu interface is predicted to promote hydrogen activation and spillover to form interfacial oxygen vacancies, enhancing CO 2 reactivity during its hydrogenation.
