The overall objective of this research is to convert the increasingly concerning CO2 and renewable H2 to highly demanded methanol (CH3OH), which creates a win–win scenario for simultaneous climate change prevention and sustainable economic development. The key to the success of this targeted CO2 utilization technology is the development of low-pressure methanol synthesis catalysts (NiaInbAl/SiO2; a = 0–8.3, b = 0–9.1) by means of a phyllosilicate precursor, allowing for formation of well-dispersed metallic particles with an average diameter of 2.5–3.5 nm. The catalysts were characterized with various methods including ICP-OES, N2 physisorption, XRD, SEM, TEM, TGA, H2 TPR, DRIFTS, and XPS. The performances of the NiaInbAl/SiO2 catalysts and conventional catalyst were compared under various evaluation temperatures at ambient pressure. It was found that catalysts with Ni/In ratios of 0.4–0.7 showed the highest activity. Ni3.5In5.3Al/SiO2 (NIA-0.7) with 15% metal loading was the best among the tested NiaInbAl...
