Cu/ZrO₂/SiO₂ are efficient catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of CO₂ to CH₃OH. In order to understand the role of ZrO₂ in these mixed-oxides based catalysts, in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy has been carried out on the Cu and Zr K-edge. Under reaction conditions, Cu remains metallic, while Zr is present in three types of coordination environment associated with 1) bulk ZrO₂, 2) coordinatively saturated and 3) unsaturated Zr(IV) surface sites. The amount of coordinatively unsaturated Zr surface sites can be quantified by linear combination fit of reference X-Ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra and its amount correlates with CH₃OH formation rates, thus indicating the importance of Zr(IV) Lewis acid surface sites in driving the selectivity toward CH₃OH. This finding is consistent with the proposed mechanism, where CO₂ is hydrogenated at the interface between the Cu nanoparticles that split H₂ and Zr(IV) surface sites that stabilizes reaction intermediates.
