Abstract

Supported metal catalysts are widely used in the chemical industry, commonly with added metal oxide promoters to enhance the catalytic performance. Here, we discuss manganese oxide as an efficient promoter for the Cu-based hydrogenation of ethyl acetate; a model hydrogenation reaction. A series of carbon-supported MnO_x-Cu catalysts was prepared with 6 nm MnO_x-Cu particles, while varying the Mn loading between 0 and 33 mol% Mn/(Cu + Mn), without changing the Cu loading or support structure. At temperatures of 180–210 °C and 30 bar pressure, the addition of 11 mol% Mn to Cu gave a 7-fold enhancement in activity, and better catalyst stability. Furthermore, the apparent activation energy decreased from ~100 to 50 kJ mol⁻¹. State-of-the-art characterization allowed to establish a correlation between catalyst structure and performance.
