Abstrakt: Catalytic CO2 hydrogenation is a promising way to produce chemicals and has recently received much attention; however, designing catalysts with special product selectivity still remains a challenge. Here, we interestingly found that the Pt–Ni/γ-Al2O3 catalyst tended to have high CH4 selectivity, while both Pt/γ-Al2O3 and Ni/γ-Al2O3 had high CO selectivity. The characterization results showed that the Pt–Ni bimetallic catalyst was composed of Pt nanoparticles with surrounding Ni atoms. The results of in situ diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed the direct disassociation of CO2 to CO on the Pt/γ-Al2O3 and the decomposition of formate species to CO on Ni/γ-Al2O3. However, the presence of Pt–Ni bimetallic sites changed the hydrogenation pathway, in which the electronic interaction between Pt particles and surrounding Ni atoms promoted the further hydrogenation of formate species to CH4. This study provides insights into the understanding of the mechanisms of CO2 hydrogenation on bimetallic catalysts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
