Sonochemical synthesis of Zn-promoted porous MgO-supported lamellar Cu catalysts for selective hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate to ethanol and their long-term stability

Abstract

Zn-doped lamellar Cu nanocrystals supported on MgO NPs catalyst was developed and employed as novel and robust catalyst for the production of Ethanol from the environmentally benign hydrogenation reaction of dimethyl oxalate.
