摘要: Abstract Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to theoretically explain the reaction mechanism of acetic acid hydrogenation ethanol on Cu catalyst. The activation barriers key elementary steps and adsorption configurations intermediates involved in Cu(111) surface investigated. results indicated that direct dissociation acetyl (CH3COOH → CH3CO + OH) is rate-determined step. barrier scission energy are two descriptors which could determine conversion acid. might have effects selectivity including: acetaldehyde for O H bond formation C2-oxygenates (CH3CO + H → CH3COH, CH3CHO + H → CH3CHOH CH3CH2O + H → CH3CH2OH). These proposed be used as references design new Cu-based catalysts excellent catalytic performance.
