Comprehensive fundamental understanding of CO hydrogenation reactions over Cu and ZnCu alloy surfaces is of great importance. Herein, we report a comparative DFT calculation study of elementary surface reaction network of CO hydrogenation reactions on stepped Cu(211), Cu(611), ZnCu(211) and ZnCu(611) surfaces. On ZnCu(211) and ZnCu(611) surfaces, the energetic favorable reaction path of CO hydrogenation reaction follows CO* → HCO* → H₂CO* → H₃CO* → CH₃OH* → CH₃OH with H₃CO* hydrogenation as the rate-limiting step and proceeds more facilely on ZnCu(611) surface than on ZnCu(211) surface. On Cu(211) and Cu(611) surfaces, the energetic favorable reaction path of CO hydrogenation reaction follows CO* → HCO* → HCOH* → H₂COH* → H₃COH* → CH₃* → CH₄* → CH₄ with H₂COH* hydrogenation as the rate-limiting step and proceeds more facilely on Cu(611) than on Cu(211). The key difference of CO hydrogenation reaction on ZnCu alloy surface and Cu is that the resulting CH₃OH* species desorbs to produce CH₃OH on ZnCu alloy but undergoes H*-assisted decomposition to CH₃* and eventually to CH₄ on Cu surface. These results successfully unveil elementary surface reaction networks and structure sensitivity of Cu and ZnCu alloy-catalyzed CO hydrogenation reactions.
