EPR characterization of Cu/AlâZrâCe ethanol dehydrogenation catalysts: Active site development and coking control
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy was applied to study structureâperformance relationships for copperâcontaining catalysts based on AlâZrâCe mixed oxides with various oxide support synthesis temperature. EPR showed that the state of Cu2+ sites depends on the phase composition of the support, temperature, as well as the presence of the reaction medium during catalysis
