Unprecedented InOOH Hexagonal Nanoplates for Highly Selective Synthesis of Methanol via Moderately Photothermal CO<sub>2</sub> Hydrogenation
Indium oxyhydroxide (InOOH) hexagonal nanoplates with unprecedented mineral phase were successfully prepared to drive high-selectivity photothermal methanol (CH3OH) production from CO2 hydrogenation under atmospheric pressure with the feeding ration of CO2 to H2 of 1:1. The performance is significantly different from that of conventional cubic and rhombic In2O3, with which only CO was produced under the same conditions. The exposed {001} surfaces of the InOOH nanoplates with freestanding active sites can effectively promote the activation of C–O bonds and the dissociation of H2, and subsequently successive hydrogenation of the forming *CO, which consequently reduce the reaction barrier for CH3OH generation significantly. This work may provide guidance for modulating the physical phase of the catalytic system to achieve a highly selective generation of CH3OH from photothermal CO2 hydrogenation.
