Oxygen Storage Capacity of Pt-, Pd-, Rh/CeO2-Based Oxide Catalyst

CZO （CeO2-ZrO2） and CZYO （CeO2-ZrO2-Y2O3） series of mixed oxides were prepared by coprecipitaion, and a part of these oxides were loaded with precious metals （PM）. XRD, BET, and oxygen storage capacity （OSC） investigations were performed on samples aged at 750, 900, and 1050 ℃. It was observed that BET surface area and OSC showed a marked decrease in CeO2 aged at high temperature, and the erystallite size showed an obvious increase. The CZO samples consist of cubic- and tetragonal crvstal phases, and their crystallite size increase rapidly when aged at high temperature. The CZYO samples consist of single crystal phase when the content of Y exceeds 0.15 mol, and their erystallite size increases slowly during high-temperature aging. It is concluded that additive Y can stabilize the performance of CZYO oxides. In the aged CZO and CZYO mixed-oxide systems, addition of a small amount of precious metals （Pt, Pd, Rh） increased the rate of reduction and led to an obvious improvement in OSC. OSC of CZO and CZYO with precious metals are related to their composition and the type of precious metal.     

Catalytic Partial Oxidation of Methane over Ni/CeO2-ZrO2-Al2O3

Nickel catalysts supported on CeO2-ZrO2-CeO2,ZrO2-Al2O3 and Al2O3 were prepared and characterized by means of X-ray diffraction（XRD）,BET areas,H2 temperature-programmed reduction（H2-TPR）,and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy（XPS）.Through the test of catalytic partial oxidation of methane（CPOM）,Ni/CeO2-ZrO2-Al2O3 displayed the highest activity,which resulted from its largest BET area and best NiO dispersion.Furthermore,Ni/CeO2-ZrO2-Al2O3 maintained a long-time stability in CPOM,which was attributed to its best coking resistance among all the prepared catalysts.     

Preparation of Well Dispersed and Ultra-Fine Ce （Zr）O2 Mixed Oxide by Mechanochemical Processing

Ultra-fine CeO2-ZrO2 mixed oxide was successfully synthesized by wet-solid phase mechanochemical processing, Ce2(CO3)3·8H2O, ZrOCl2·xH2O and ammonia were used as reactants. It is found that the crystalline Ce2(CO3)3·8H2O and ZrOCl2·xH2O are changed to amorphous cerium and zirconium hydroxide precursor after milling with ammonia, and Ce0.15Zr0.85O2 mixed oxide with pure tetragonal phase structure and medium particle size(D50)less than 1μm is formed by calcining precursor over 673 K. The XRD patterns indicate that the crystal unite size increases with rising calcining temperature due to crystal growth. However, the particle size and BET surface area of the Ce(Zr)O2 mixed oxide decreases with rising calcining temperature, which may be attributed to the contract of particles and the vanish of holes inside grains.

Study on analysis of crystal structure in CeO₂ doped with Er₂O₃ or Gd₂O₃

To simulate the effects of burnable poison doping in nuclear fuel UO2,Er2O3(or Gd2O3)-doped CeO2 pellets were prepared. Changes in lattice constant and atomic disordering for CeO2 due to the Er2O3 and Gd2O3 doping were measured by means of XRD and XAFS. By the Er2O3 doping,the lattice constant decreased,and a disordering of lattice structure was induced in the samples. The doping with Er2O3 also induced the disordering of atomic arrangement around Er atoms,which was observed through the change in XAFS spectra. In contrast,the effect of Gd2O3 doping was smaller than that of Er2O3 doping. The result was discussed in terms of ionic size of dopants in CeO2 crystal.     

Characteristic of macroporous CeO2-ZrO2 oxygen carrier for chemical-looping steam methane reforming

Chemical-looping steam methane reforming （CL-SMR） is a novel process towards the production of pure hydrogen and syngas, consisting ofa syngas production reaction and a hydrogen production reaction. Macroporous CeQ-ZrO2 oxygen carders with different pore sizes prepared by colloidal crystal templating method and characterized by techniques of scalming electron microscopy （SEM）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller （BET）, X-ray diffraction （XRD） and temperature pro- grammed reduction （H2-TPR） were tested in CL-SMR process. For comparison, nonporous CeO2-ZrO2 oxygen carrier prepared by precipitation method was also investigated. It was found that macroporous CeO2-ZrO2 oxygen carriers owned higher reducibility and reactivity in CL-SMR process than nonporous samples. For the macroporous CeO2-ZrO2 sample, the decline of pore size could im- prove the reducibility and reactivity. The macroporous sample with a pore size of 100 nm （labeled as Ce-Zr-100） showed the highest performance for the co-production of syngas and hydrogen during the successive CL-SMR redox cycles. After 10 redox cycles, it still retained good porous structure and reducibility. It was found that the porous structure could accelerate the oxygen release from bulk to surface, leading to a good mobility of oxygen and higher reducibility. In addition, it was also favorable for diffusion and penetration of methane and water steam into the sample particles to accelerate the reaction rate.

It has been explored that the influence of composition on the lattice constant and phase composition of La2O3-doped PNSZT piezoelectric ceramics by XRD(X-ray diffraction). The character of dielectric constant changing of La2O3-doped PNSZT piezoelectric ceramics before polarization and after polarization was studied. The affecting mechanism about composition on the electric machine properties of phase coexistent La2O3-doped PNSZT piezoelectric ceramics was analyzed and discussed.

Physicochemical Processes of Fabricating Ceramic Materials Based on Nanopowders of Zirconium,Yttrium, Cerium,and Aluminum Oxides

When studying nanoceramics, it is necessary to constantly keep in mind the closest interrelation of their fabrication method, structure, and properties. Nanoceramic materials are used in various branches of technology as structural and functional materials. Nanoceramics are also widely used in medicine. They are harmless, stable, and have great affinity to living organisms. ZrO2-based nanoceramics have a lower elastic modulus than other oxide materials. The specificity of their application lies in their high rupture strength, thermal shock resistance, and chemical stability at high temperatures. However, it is necessary to solve the problem of increasing the fracture toughness of ZrO2-based ceramic materials. The complex alloying of ZrO2 with yttrium and cerium oxides and the use of the Al2O3 additive leads to an increase in the fracture toughness and lowering of the negative effect of materials in the biological medium. In this work, the physicochemical properties of ceramic powders and materials of the ZrO2–2Y2O3–4CeO2–Al2O3 system synthesized by the chemical deposition of inorganic precursors when applying the sol-gel technology are considered based on scientific data and experimental studies. Alloying pure zirconium oxide by stabilizing Y2O3 and CeO2 oxides and thermal hardening of Al2O3 ensure the conservation of the tetragonal structure at room temperature, which makes it possible to retard and control the crack resistance of the material under the load. Investigations into the influence of the sintering temperature and aluminum oxide content on the microstructure and grain size, as well as physicomechanical properties of ceramic materials of compositions ZrO2–2Y2O3–4CeO2 + 1 wt % Al2O3 and ZrO2–2Y2O3–4CeO2 + 3 wt % Al2O3, are carried out.     

Preparation and Characterization of Nanocrystalline CeO2 by Precipitation Method

CeO2 nanocrystalline particulates with different sizes were prepared by precipitation method using ethanol as dispersive and protective reagent. XRD spectra show that the synthesized CeO2 has cubic crystalline structure of space group OH^H-FM3M, when calcination temperature is in the range of 250 - 800 ℃. TEM images reveal that CeO2 particles are spherical in shape. The average size of the particles increases with the increase of calcination temperature. Thermogravimetric analysis indicates that the weight loss of precursor mainly depends on the calcination temperature, and little depends on the calcination time. Measurements of CeO2 relative density show that the relative density of CeO2 nanocrystalline powders increases with increasing CeO2 particle size.     

Structures and oxygen storage capacities of CeO2-ZrO2-Al2O3 ternary oxides prepared by a green route： supercritical anti-solvent precipitation

CeO2-ZrO2-Al2O3 ternary oxides were successfully prepared by a green route of supercritical anti-solvent precipitation with supercritical CO2 as anti-solvent and methanol as solvent.The structures and oxygen storage capacities of these ternary oxides were characterized by XRD,Raman spectra and oxygen storage capacity measurements.It was found that Al 3+ and Zr 4+ inserted into CeO2 lattice,forming CeO2-ZrO2-Al2O3 solid solution.The concentration of aluminium isopropoxide in the solution affected the concentration of oxygen vacancy and the distortion of oxygen sublattice which were responsible for the oxygen storage capacity.The rapidest oxygen uptake/release rate and maximum total oxygen storage capacity(122.0 mmolO2/molCeO2)were obtained with the aluminium isopropoxide concentration at 0.2 wt.% in the solution.     

Influence of Supports on Catalytic Performance and Carbon Deposition of Palladium Catalyst for Methane Partial Oxidation

The catalytic performance of methane partial oxidation was investigated on Pd/CeO2-ZrO2 and Pd/α-Al2O3 catalysts.The catalysts were characterized by XRD,Raman spectra,and TG-DTA techniques.The results show that CeO2-ZrO2 support is more advantageous for the catalytic activity and stability of catalysts compared to α-Al2O3.TG-DTA and Raman spectra results indicated that carbon deposited on the catalysts was in the form of graphite,which is the main reason for the deactivation of catalysts after a 24-hour reaction.Moreover,CeO2-ZrO2 had positive effect on inhibiting carbon deposition.

This technology had advantages of simple process, less equipment investment, ease of use, and suitability for industrialization products.
