Mo-based bimetallic oxide catalysts for the reverse water gas shift reaction

Abstract

The reverse water gas shift (RWGS) is of great significance to the resource utilization of CO2. In this paper, based on the features of MoO3, the Mo-based catalysts doped with Ga, Ti and Ce were prepared, and the effects of oxygen vacancies and basic sites on the RWGS reaction were studied. When the volume ratio of H2 and CO2 is 1 : 1, the yield of CO can reach 26.66%. Because it exposes higher concentration of Ce sites and moderate alkaline active sites on the surface. When the proportion of H2 in the reaction gas increases, the highest yield of CO can reach 54.53%, which is mainly attributed to a large number of oxygen vacancies on the surface of MoTi. This study can be used as a reference for the design of catalysts for RWGS reaction under different reaction conditions.
