Abstract: Methods of producing metal catalysts can include mixing two or more metal salts and an aluminum salt in water to produce a metal catalyst precursor solution having a pH of about 2.5 to about 4.0; mixing the metal catalyst precursor solution and a basic solution having a pH of about 10 to about 13 to produce a mixture with a pH of about 6 to about 7 and a precipitate; producing a powder from the precipitate; and calcining the powder to produce a metal catalyst. Such metal catalysts may be useful in producing bifunctional catalyst systems that are useful in, among other things, converting syngas to dimethyl ether in a single reactor.
