ZnOx overlayer confined on ZnCr2O4 spinel for direct syngas conversion to light olefins by Xiaohui Feng, Haoran Jia, Rongtan Li, Le Lin, Mingrun Li, Mingshu Chen, Chengxiang Liu, Xiangze Du, Xiaoyue Wang, Yunjie Ding, Rentao Mu, Qiang Fu, Xinhe Bao

“…Herein, we find that ZnO particles physically mixed with ZnCr2O4 spinel particles can be well dispersed onto the spinel surfaces by treatment in syngas and through a reduction-evaporation-anchoring mechanism, forming monodispersed ZnO x species with uniform thickness or dimension on ZnCr2O4 up to a dispersion threshold ZnO loading of 16.0 wt% (ZnCr2O4@ZnO x ). A linear correlation between CO conversion and surface ZnO loading clearly confirms that the ZnO x overlayer on ZnCr2O4 acts as the active structure for the syngas conversion, which can efficiently activate both H2 and CO. …”
