Mechanism of Ethanol Synthesis from Syngas on Rh(111).

Rh-based catalysts display unique efficiency and selectivity in catalyzing ethanol synthesis from syngas (2C0 + 4H CHOH + HO). Understanding the reaction mechanism at the molecular level is the key to rational design of better catalysts for ethanol synthesis, which is one of major challenges for eth...
