Copper oxide microspheres and cuprous oxide catalysts
After long-term research, it was found that flower-shaped copper oxide microspheres with high M2 selectivity in the Rochow reaction have gradually replaced copper oxide microparticles to become the mainstream of industrial production. Their superior catalytic activity and porous three-dimensional structure make their reaction with silicon powder more efficient, thereby improving the conversion rate.

Cuprous oxide is widely known for its low raw material price and high reserves of metal oxides. Cuprous oxide has the same catalytic performance and superior photoelectric properties as precious metal catalysts, and is more suitable for industrial large-scale production. After comparing the catalytic performance of cuprous oxide microparticles with different morphologies, it was found that compared with star-shaped, spherical, pineapple-shaped cuprous oxide microparticles, hexahedral cuprous oxide microparticles have the best M2 selectivity and catalytic effect in the Rochow reaction.
