Abstract: In this study, we synthesized xZnO-ZrO2 (x = 14-40 at%) by flame spray pyrolysis under a lean-fuel condition. The optimal ZnO content was investigated to obtain a ZnO-ZrO2 solid solution with high specific surface area for CO2-to-methanol hydrogenation. The Zn species in ZnO-ZrO2 were highly dispersed and hexagonal ZnO was not detected by X-ray diffraction (XRD). After heating the particles in Ar at 400 degrees C for 3 h, hexagonal ZnO particles were observed at x = 40 at%, while below x = 28 at%, the Zn species remained high dispersion state. A fraction of the Zn species was substituted into the bulk of the ZrO2 particles, as evidenced by the shift of the ZrO2 (101) peak in the XRD patterns. The elemental mapping of Zn and Zr in 28 at% ZnO-ZrO2 showed that the Zn species on the surface were uniformly distributed. The presence of partially reduced Zrd(delta+) state (delta < 4) was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The Zrd(delta+) state in the ZnO-ZrO2 particles was prominent when ZnO content was below 28 at%. The catalytic activity of 28 at% ZnO-ZrO2 for CO2-to-methanol hydrogenation was higher than that of 40 at% ZnO-ZrO2. At 300 degrees C and 1.0 MPa, the CO2 conversion and the selectivity to methanol over 28 at% ZnO-ZrO2 were 9 and 48%, respectively, resulting in the high yield of methanol (4.3%).
