Synthesis and structural characteristics of highly graphitized carbon nanofibers produced from the catalytic decomposition of ethylene: Influence of the active metal (Co, Ni, Fe) and the zeolite type support

In order to study the influence of the metal phase in the carbon yield and structural characteristics of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) synthesized by CVD over supported catalysts, different catalysts were prepared using iron, cobalt and nickel as active metal and zeolites Y and mordenite as support. The results showed that the metal precursor produced a great influence on the catalytic activity, fact that could be explained in according to the different solubility of carbon in the metals or in the differences in the diffusion and segregation of carbon through the metal particles. Characterization data of the solid carbon products revealed unique structures and textural properties as well as crystalline conditions on function of metal used. Additionally, support-metal interaction was evaluated, where experiments with similar nickel load over Y and mordenite zeolites were carried out, finding higher carbon yields and more ordered structures when Y zeolite was used.     

Partial oxidation of methane to synthesis gas over some titanates based perovskite oxides

Ca_1–x - _x Sr _x TiO₃-based mixed oxide catalysts containing chromium, iron, cobalt or nickel were prepared and used in the oxidation of methane. The catalyst containing cobalt or nickel showed high activity for the synthesis gas production from methane. In the case of nickel containing catalyst, nickel oxide originally separated from the perovskite structure was easily reduced to nickel metal, which showed synthesis gas production activity. In the case of the cobalt containing catalyst, pretreatment with methane was required for high activity. Reduced metallic cobalt was formed from the perovskite structure, which revealed relatively high selectivity for the oxidative coupling of methane, and afforded synthesis gas production. Both the catalysts also catalyzed carbon dioxide reforming of methane and especially both high activity and selectivity were observed over the nickel containing catalyst.

Fischer–Tropsch synthesis on mono- and bimetallic Co and Fe catalysts supported on carbon nanotubes

An extensive study of Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) on carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-supported bimetallic cobalt/iron catalysts is reported. Up to 4 wt.% of iron is added to the 10 wt.% Co/CNT catalyst by co-impregnation. The physico-chemical properties, FTS activity and selectivity of the bimetallic catalysts were analyzed and compared with those of 10 wt.% monometallic cobalt and iron catalysts at similar operating conditions (H₂/CO = 2:1 molar ratio, P = 2 MPa and T = 220 °C). The metal particles were distributed inside the tubes and the rest on the outer surface of the CNTs. For iron loadings higher than 2 wt.%, Co–Fe alloy was revealed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. 0.5 wt.% of Fe enhanced the reducibility and dispersion of the cobalt catalyst by 19 and 32.8%, respectively. Among the catalysts studied, cobalt catalyst with 0.5% Fe showed the highest FTS reaction rate and percentage CO conversion. The monometallic iron catalyst showed the minimum FTS and maximum water–gas shift (WGS) rates. The monometallic cobalt catalyst exhibited high selectivity (85.1%) toward C₅+ liquid hydrocarbons, while addition of small amounts of iron did not significantly change the product selectivity. Monometallic iron catalyst showed the lowest selectivity for 46.7% to C₅+ hydrocarbons. The olefin to paraffin ratio in the FTS products increased with the addition of iron, and monometallic iron catalyst exhibited maximum olefin to paraffin ratio of 1.95. The bimetallic Co–Fe/CNT catalysts proved to be attractive in terms of alcohol formation. The introduction of 4 wt.% iron in the cobalt catalyst increased the alcohol selectivity from 2.3 to 26.3%. The Co–Fe alloys appear to be responsible for the high selectivity toward alcohol formation.     

Cathode catalysts for fuel cell development: A theoretical study based on band structure calculations for tungsten nitride and cobalt tungsten nitrides

Band structure calculations were performed for tungsten nitride, cobalt tungsten nitrides, and platinum slabs. The major requirements for the development of a superior cathode catalyst are: (1) that the Fermi level of the cathode catalyst is close to the energy level of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of O₂, the lowest unoccupied atomic orbital of an oxygen atom, and the lowest unoccupied atomic orbital of a hydrogen atom so that they can readily interact with one another; and (2) that the cathode catalysts have smaller ΔE value which represent the difference between the Fermi level and the peak position of the density of states of the O_p orbital of O₂ adsorbed on the catalyst. The active site structures of cobalt tungsten nitrides for activation of the oxygen reduction reaction were found to have the surface structure of Co–O–Co, which lowered the unoccupied orbital of the oxygen atom to approximately that of the Fermi level. However, this structure concomitantly lowered the Fermi level, which resulted in an increase in ΔE. Consequently, the optimal cathode catalyst regarding the surface conformation contains a Co–O–Co structure that is dispersed on the surface of the cobalt tungsten nitride. The cobalt tungsten oxynitride exhibited a catalytic activity for the oxygen reduction reaction. A linear dependence is observed between the ΔE and the oxygen reduction reaction offset potentials of the tungsten nitride, cobalt tungsten nitride, cobalt tungsten oxynitride, and platinum.

Stability of metal nanoparticles formed during reduction of alumina supported nickel and cobalt catalysts

The formation of nickel and cobalt nanoparticles in hydrogenation catalysts and their stability against sintering during the reduction of the oxidic precursors were investigated. The morphology of the catalysts was manipulated by varying the reduction conditions. The catalysts were characterized using temperature programmed reduction (TPR), hydrogen chemisorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HREM). The transformation of the oxidic precursor into the active phase was monitored using quasi in situ HREM, which proved to be an excellent technique to visualize the formation of metal nanoparticles. For the nickel catalyst the reduction temperature plays a crucial role, whereas time is more critical for the cobalt catalyst. The sintering rate of cobalt is considerably lower than that of nickel during reduction. It is concluded that the activation energy for sintering is significantly higher for nickel than for cobalt. A model is proposed which depicts the structure of both types of catalysts in their oxidic and reduced state. TPR and XPS results indicate that the passivated catalysts contain approximately two oxygen atoms per surface Ni or Co atom.     

Effect of fluorine on hydrogenation of cyclohexene on sulfided Ni (or Co)Mo/Al2O3 catalysts

The effect of fluorine incorporation on alumina support on the surface structure of unpromoted molybdenum, promoted cobalt—molybdenum and nickel—molybdenum catalysts, and their activity for hydrogenation of cyclohexene has been studied. The incorporation of 0.2 and 0.8 wt.-% fluorine on the alumina was carried out by impregnation with NH₄F solutions. The catalysts in the oxidic state were characterized by X-ray diffraction and ammonia adsorption and in the sulfide state by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and infra-red spectroscopy (IR) of adsorbed NO. The absence of significant changes in the binding energy values of Mo3d and Ni2p (or Co2p) levels in the XPS spectra of the fluorine-containing catalysts as compared to the fluorine-free counterpart does not support the existence of an electronic effect of fluorine. The quantitative XPS results showed, however, that fluorine clearly increases the dispersion of molybdenum and promoter, this being linearly correlated to surface fluorine content. The IR results of adsorbed NO also indicate that fluorine incorporation leads generally to minor sizes of MoS₂ slabs, and more exposed promoter atoms, except for the cobalt in the CoMo/F(0.2)A catalyst. It is suggested that the increase in the dispersion of the supported active phase is a secondary effect of fluorine incorporation, which may result from the observed textural changes of the alumina and its small partial solubilization provoked by NH₄F solution. It was found that the incorporation of fluorine enhances appreciably, moderately and considerably the hydrogenation activity of molybdenum, cobalt—molybdenum an nickel—molybdenum catalysts, respectively. Such increase in hydrogenation activity is not directly correlated to the exposed atoms probed by NO adsorption, and is only loosely related to molybdenum dispersion for the molybdenum and cobalt—molybdenum catalysts. The lack of similar reliable correlations for the nickel—molybdenum catalysts suggests that other structural parameters such as extent of reduction-sulfidation and certain configurations of molybdenum ions and sulfur vacancies may govern hydrogenation activity.

Crystal and electronic structure of PbTe/CdTe nanostructures

In this article, the authors reported a theoretical study of structural and electronic properties of PbTe inclusions in CdTe matrix as well as CdTe nano-clusters in PbTe matrix. The structural properties are studied by ab initio methods. A tight-binding model is constructed to calculate the electron density of states (DOS) of the systems. In contrast to the ab initio methods, the latter allows studying nanostructures with diameters comparable to the real ones. The calculations show that both kinds of inclusions lead to changes of the DOS of the carriers near the Fermi level, which may affect optical, electrical and thermoelectric properties of the material. These changes depend on the size, shape, and concentration of inclusions.     

An optical absorption and electron spin resonance study in hydrogenated amorphous carbon prepared by radio frequency sputtering

In this work, we investigated different hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) films grown by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering covering a large variety of films from polymer-like carbon (PLC) to diamond-like carbon (DLC). Photothermal deflection spectroscopy (PDS), transmission spectroscopy in the visible and near infrared (IR) region were combined with electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements. The optical absorption spectra were analysed assuming a distribution of two overlapping Gaussian bands near the Fermi level in order to deduce the density of states (DOS) at the Fermi level. From the DOS and the density of paramagnetic states a correlation energy for midgap states is derived.

Preparation of nickel-on-active carbon catalyst by CVD method for methanol carbonylation

The nickel on active carbon (Ni/A.C.) catalysts prepared by a simple chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method showed comparable catalytic activities for the vapor phase carbonylation of methanol to those of the catalysts prepared by impregnating A.C. with nickel nitrate and activating by hydrogen treatment. The CVD method was successfully applied to the in situ catalyst preparation.     

Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis: Oxidation of a Fraction of Cobalt Crystallites in Research Catalysts at the Onset of FT at Partial Pressures Mimicking 50 % CO Conversion

Freshly H₂-reduced catalyst samples and FTS catalyst samples (i.e., freshly reduced and immediately exposed to the onset of FTS conditions corresponding to 50 % CO conversion) were prepared. Each sample was coated in situ using molten polywax and solidified so that an air-protected sample was obtained, which was stored in inert gas. XAS was utilized to investigate the oxidation state of cobalt. A fraction of cobalt crystallites in the freshly reduced research catalysts having lower-than-commercial loading and smaller crystallites undergoes a degree of oxidation to CoO at the onset of FTS conditions simulating 50 % CO conversion (i.e., the H₂O partial pressure is high enough to induce some oxidation). Therefore, by decreasing Co content with the aim of improving the dispersion of cobalt and Co efficiency, very small Co crystallites are obtained. Their reoxidation at the onset of FTS is an unintended consequence. Thus, catalysts should be designed to have an optimum narrow cluster size range—small enough to increase Co surface site densities, but large enough to avoid reoxidation, and the stability problems that arise from having unreduced Co in the working catalyst (e.g., a complex coalescence and reduction mechanism).     

Hydrogen production from fluidized bed steam reforming of hydrocarbons

Steam reforming of methane, kerosene and heavy oil over a nickel/alumina commercial catalyst and other materials such as limestone, dolomite and iron ore, was studied using a 5 cm i.d. fluidized bed reactor. The effects of operating parameters on conversion, hydrogen yield, product gas composition and elutriation of fine catalysts were investigated. It was found that a fluidized bed is flexible enough to handle various feedstocks, including hydrocarbons heavier than naphtha, because it permits the addition of catalyst to, or withdrawals of, coked catalyst from the bed. The yield of hydrogen obtained from fluidized bed steam reforming of heavy oil at 800‡C over limestone was similar to that obtained over commercial nickel-based catalyst. This indicates that limestone could be a promising catalyst for the production of hydrogen from heavy oil. However, hydrogen yield decreased with reaction time in the experiments using the limestone catalyst. The main cause of the decrease in hydrogen yield was elutriation of fine catalysts from the bed during the reaction.     

Hydrogenation of brown coal. 2. Iron-based catalysis

Some of the inherent cations of Victorian brown coals have been exchanged for iron by treatment with solutions of iron salts. Coals with various iron contents are obtained by variation of the pH of the solutions used. Hydrogenation of coals treated in this way at 395 °C, and an initial hydrogen pressure of 10 MPa, give product yields similar to those obtained using commercial cobalt molybdate on alumina catalysts, and greater than those obtained using red mud as a catalyst. The increase in yields compared with non-catalysed experiments results mainly from increased production of asphaltenes. The amount and composition of gas (80–90 wt% C0₂, resulting from decarboxylation) remains constant. Despite the similar conversions, the hydrogen consumption and tetralin/naphthalene ratios for iron-catalysed experiments are less than for cobalt—molybdate-catalysed experiments.     

The electronic structure of iron and nickel catalysts and their activity in coal hydrogenation

The thermodynamic and quantum-chemical aspects of hydrogenation of coal organic matter in the presence of iron and nickel compounds as catalysts were considered. A thermodynamic analysis of the formation reaction of catalytically active catalyst entities under hydrogenation conditions was performed. The electronic structure of FeO, FeS, FeS₂, NiO, and NiS with the minimal number of iron and nickel atoms and their activated complexes with an H₂ molecule were calculated by the ab initio Hartree-Fock method using the STO 6-311G basis set. A comparative catalytic activity of transition states of this kind was evaluated.     

Study of the Kinetics of Ammonia Synthesis and Decomposition on Iron and Cobalt Catalysts

Activity of cobalt and iron catalysts in ammonia synthesis was determined under a pressure of 10 MPa and at the temperature range of 673–823 K, in a six-channel integral steel reactor. The catalytic ammonia decomposition was studied in a differential reactor under the atmosphere of low concentration of ammonia (<6%) in the temperature range of 673–823 K under atmospheric pressure. The determined values of the activation energy for the ammonia synthesis reaction over cobalt and iron catalysts are 268 and 180 kJ/mol, respectively, whilst for the ammonia decomposition reaction they are equal to 111 and 138 kJ/mol. The cobalt catalyst showed lower activity than a commercial iron catalyst in ammonia synthesis reaction. The cobalt catalyst turned out to be more effective in ammonia decomposition reaction than the iron one.
