Abstract

Converting CO ₂ into valuable chemicals such as methanol and syngas (CO+H ₂) will help to reduce the net CO ₂ emissions into the atmosphere, and thereby alleviate the greenhouse effect caused by CO ₂. Indium oxide has been shown as a good catalyst and/or promoter for methanol synthesis from CO ₂ and hydrogen. As part of our continuing effort to search for efficient catalysts for CO ₂ activation and hydrogenation, we analyzed CO ₂ interaction with the surfaces of In ₂O ₃. In particular, we focused on the (111) and (110) surfaces and screened for sites that adsorb and activate CO ₂. We also examined H ₂O and H ₂ co-adsorbed with CO ₂ on the same surfaces. We then mapped out possible pathways for CO ₂ hydroxylation and hydrogenation and analyzed the present results by comparing with those of CO ₂ adsorption and activation on Ga ₂O ₃ and γ-Al ₂O ₃ surfaces.
