Advantages of chromia as promoter in copper-based Catalysts It should also be noted from Figs. 5 and 6 that in the steam reforming reaction to produce hydrogen for fuel cell applications， trace quantities (<0.4 wt.%) of Cr2O3 on Cu not only doubled the activity for the MSR but also halved the amount of CO formed， thereby enhancing H2 production. This improved selectivity reduces the problem of H2 separation from the reaction products in fuel cell applications. An important finding in this research is the role that very small amounts of Cr2O3 play in all the reactions investigated， namely， methanol synthesis， water gas shift and methanol steam reforming. In commercial co-precipitatedcopper-based methanol synthesis catalysts， copper is known to be the active component [3]. More recently， it has becomeestablished that ZnO promotes methanol synthesis and that surface species formed by Cu-ZnO interaction are responsible for methanol synthesis [42]. The role of Cr2O3 in commercial catalysts is thought to be similar to that of Al2O3， which is to act as stabilizer of the structure of the copper catalyst， thereby reducing sintering. In this study， as in a previous one [18] using a different technique todeposit chromia on the surface of skeletal copper， we have shown that Cr2O3 has a significant role in copper-based methanol synthesis from CO2. That role is to improve the methanol yield by reducing the RWGS reaction (Fig. 3) aswas observed in the earlier study [18]. A major finding of this study has been the very strong evidence the Cr2O3 has a synergistic effect on the activity of copper for methanol synthesis， methanol steam reforming and the water gas shift reactions. From Figs. 4 and 5 it can be seen that 0.85 wt.% Cr2O3 enhances the specific activity (mol/hm2 Cu) of skeletal copper 270% for the WGS and 150% for methanol steam reforming. In the case of methanol synthesis (Fig. 2) 0.61 wt.% Cr2O3 increases the specific activity of copper by 67%. The results for the WGS and MS reactions are similar to those obtained under the same reaction conditions using skeletal copper promoted by Cr2O3 which was deposited from sodium chromate in the caustic leach liquor [28]. In that study， the effect of chromia was more pronounced， with an increase in activity of 950% for theWGSand 168% for the MSR reaction， respectively， using skeletal copper containing 0.75 wt.% Cr2O3. For methanol synthesis over Cr2O3 promoted skeletal copperprepared using sodium chromate in the leach liquor， Ma et al. [18] observed no increase in the specific activity of copper.
