This study evaluates the catalytic performance of ZnO/ZrO2 catalysts, which were synthesized through reverse co-precipitation with Zn/(Zn + Zr) ratios varying from 0 to 100%, for converting CO2 into methanol (CH3OH). The catalysts underwent systematic characterization using XRD, TEM-EDS mapping, N2 adsorption-desorption, XPS, and TPD-MS techniques, focusing on both H2 interactions. Results showed that pure ZnO typically forms as aggregated needles, while ZrO2 manifests clustered aggregates significantly smaller nanoparticles. At lower Zn contents (20-30%), particles are small evenly distributed among nanoparticles, effectively inhibiting aggregation. Conversely, at higher (40-80%), increase in size, remain tend accumulate predominantly surfaces larger particles. Catalysts a predominance exhibited greater adsorption, whereas those increased adsorption. Zn60Zr40 (60 wt % Zn) catalyst was identified optimal, achieving 11.8% conversion 340 °C, peak CH3OH selectivity 74.0% 320 °C yield 6.1% maintaining excellent stability over 100 h. Furthermore, found direct correlation between activity gas adsorption: adsorption rates improved conversion, more influenced by These findings underscore importance adsorptive properties determining product distribution offer essential insights designing optimized efficient production hydrogenation.
