Abstract

: The catalytic display of supported heterogeneous catalysts is essentially reliant on their constitutive elements, including active species and supports. Accordingly, the scheme and development of active catalysts with synergistically enhanced outcomes between active sites and supports are of high importance. A simple NaBH4 reduction method was used to synthesize cylindrical amine-functionalized silica nanotubes supported Ru catalyst (ASNT@Ru catalyst), including amine functionality. The physicochemical properties of the material were analyzed by various analytical methods such as SEM-TEM analysis, N2 physisorption, ICP-OES, XPS, etc., and all the data were found in good agreement with each other. Amine-free SNT support using the calcination process was also synthesized to examine the effect of amine in ASNT support on the uniform Ru dispersion. Taking advantage of the fundamental physical and chemical properties of ASNT support and well-distributed Ru NPs, the ASNT@Ru catalyst was utilized for CO2 hydrogenation reaction, which gave excellent catalytic activity/ stability in terms of a good quantity of the formic. Catalysts recycling was recorded five times, and formic acid was obtained in good quantity.
