New study of Cu-catalyst promoters

Globally accepted phenomenon that Cu is an active site in ester hydrogenolysis has been described for several times. However, some comprehensive research on the effect of different promoters on copper catalysts was missing. In our newly published article, we studied the promoter effect on properties of Cu active site and catalyst activity. A close correlation between acid-base sites and catalyst activity, performance and selectivity was described. The best choices for catalyst promotion were defined.
