O2 catalysts were prepared by a sol-gel method, and H3PW12O40/Ce

O2 catalysts were then prepared by an impregnation method. Both catalysts were applied to the direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate
from methanol and carbon dioxide in a batch reactor. NH3-TPD experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of acidity on the catalytic performance of Ce
