Abstract: The novel Cu-Ir bimet allic catalysts with ceria modified silica supported were prepared via impregnation method for methanol decomposition. Cu-Ir/CeO2--SiO2- catalyst exhibited a higher catalytic activity and a better stability than Cu-Ir/SiO2- catalyst. After 10 h of reaction, the methanol conversion was still over 96% with ceria modified Cu-Ir/SiO2- catalyst, while that of Cu-Ir/SiO2- catalyst decreased to 39.1%. The catalyst samples were characterized by XPS, H2-TPR, XRD and BET techniques. The addition of ceria to silica supported Cu-Ir catalyst could improve the dispersion and restrain the sintering of the active component.
