Distinct Roles of Te and Mo in Modulating the Activity and Selectivity of CO2 Hydrogenation to Ethanol over CoFe catalyst

Key Points

• This research investigates how Te and Mo influence the activity and selectivity of CO2 hydrogenation to ethanol over a CoFe catalyst.
• Te and Mo were doped into a CoFe catalyst.
• Ethanol selectivity and yield were measured during CO2 hydrogenation.
• Te doping resulted in 7.3% ethanol selectivity and 26.7 gEtOH kgcat⁻¹ h⁻¹ yield.
• Mo doping led to variable outcomes that were not fully detailed in the abstract.
