Abstract
conversion to methanol, the present work represents a reference point for future studies investigating systems representative of the industrial Cu/ZnO catalyst, enabling a clear identification of the limitations of unsupported Cu catalysts, and thus allowing a more complete understanding of the role of the support material.
