Hierarchically porous CexZr1−xO2 materials prepared by solvent volatilization for highly efficient synthesis of DMC from CO2 and methanol

The Zr-doping endowed the synthesized Ce 0.9 Zr 0.1 O 2 material with excellent catalytic performance due to the increased number of oxygen vacancies and simultaneously improved its stability by enhancing the hydrophobicity of the synthesized material.
