The catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol depends significantly on the structures of metal-oxide interfaces. We show that doping a high-valency metal, viz. tungsten, to CeO2 could render improved catalytic activity for the hydrogenation of CO2 on a Cu/CeW0.25Ox catalyst, whilst making it more s...
