Abstract: XRD,ESR,UDRS,XPS and XAES have been used to examine the surface chemical state of Cu-Zn-Ocatalyst for methanol synthesis from carbon dioxide and hydrogen after the reduction and under the reaction conditions.The results show that only Cu0 on surface of the catalyst was found, no stable Cu2+ and Cu+ exist; a part of ZnO is reduced to produce lower valence Zn(2-δ)+(0<δ<2).And Cu0 and Zn(2-δ)+ is thought to be the active center of methanol synthesis reaction from carbon dioxide and hydrogen according to the activity measurement results.

Key words: CO2+H2, Methanol synthesis, Copper-zinc-oxygen catalyst, Active center
