Pd-CeO2/SiC催化剂的制备及其在CO和C3H6氧化反应中的催化性能

分别以蔗糖和硅酸钠为碳源和硅源,硫酸为催化剂,采用溶胶-凝胶法和碳热还原法合成SiC;以其为载体,Pd为活性组分,CeO₂为助剂,采用浸渍法制备Pd-CeO₂/SiC催化剂。考察催化剂制备方法、助剂CeO₂添加量和还原温度等对催化剂在CO和C₃H₆氧化反应中活性的影响。结果表明, 采用分步浸渍法制备的催化剂具有较高活性, CeO₂添加质量分数2%时制备的0.5%Pd-2%CeO₂/SiC催化剂经200 ℃预还原后,对CO和C₃H₆氧的最低完全转化温度分别为210 ℃和215 ℃,CeO₂助剂可显著提高金属Pd在催化剂表面分散度,与Pd产生相互作用,使Pd还原峰向低温移动,提高了催化剂活性。     

高分散Pd/Ni-A-CA纳米催化剂催化喹啉加氢

以镍(Ni)为金属节点，腺嘌呤(A)和柠檬酸(CA)为有机配体，采用溶剂热法制备了非晶态金属有机配合物Ni-A-CA。将Pd Cl₂溶液浸渍于载体Ni-A-CA后用NaBH₄还原制得高分散的Pd纳米粒子(Pd NPs)催化剂Pd/Ni-A-CA。通过SEM、TEM、XRD、FTIR、XPS、N₂吸附-脱附对载体Ni-A-CA[n(Ni)∶n(A)∶n(CA)=2∶1∶1.5]和催化剂3%Pd/Ni-A-CA(3%为Pd的理论负载量，以Ni-A-CA的质量计，下同)进行了表征。结果表明，Pd NPs高度分散在载体Ni-A-CA上，其粒径为(2.2±0.3) nm，且载体与Pd NPs之间存在的强相互作用增强了催化剂的催化性能。在90℃、2 MPa H₂条件下，3%Pd/Ni-A-CA催化喹啉加氢反应70 min，喹啉转化率为99.0%，生成1,2,3,4-四氢喹啉选择性>99%。     

CuO含量对Pd/Al2O3催化剂乙醇氧化性能的影响

采用浸渍法制备了一系列具有不同CuO含量的Pd-CuO/Al₂O₃催化剂，并将其用于乙醇氧化反应，其结构与性质通过XRD、H₂-TPR和NH₃-TPD等手段进行分析。结果发现，催化剂的活性并不是随着CuO含量的增加而增强，Pd-1.0%CuO/Al₂O₃催化剂表现出最佳的活性，其点火温度和完全转化温度比Pd/Al₂O₃催化剂至少降低了50℃。与Pd/Al₂O₃催化剂相比，含CuO催化剂增强的衍射峰强度以及氢化钯分解峰的消失，说明Pd-Cu合金结构的形成有利于Pd、Cu物种之间的协同作用。对于Pd-1.0%CuO/Al₂O₃催化剂来说，还原峰向低温的移动以及还原峰面积的增大说明该催化剂上氧化性物质更易被还原且数量在增加，这对于氧化反应是十分有利的，新出现的还原峰表示Pd、Cu的相互作用生成了新物种。NH₃-TPD结果中更高含量的低温酸有利于高活性，而且新出现的脱附峰说明形成了新的酸性位点。     

铁酸镧B位掺Mn/Co/Cr试样的红外辐射性能与机理

采用高温固相烧结法制备了粉体材料LaFeO₃、LaFe_0.75Co_0.25O₃、LaFe_0.75Cr_0.25O₃和LaFe_0.75Mn_0.25O₃,通过XRD、FTIR、SEM、XPS等检测手段对材料进行表征,同时运用CASTEP模块模拟计算了材料的电子能带结构和光学性质。实验结果表明：掺入Mn/Cr/Co离子后晶格发生畸变,晶格对称性降低。Mn/Cr/Co掺杂后的粉体材料在近中红外波段发射率排序为：掺Mn>掺Co>掺Cr>纯LaFeO₃,其中掺Mn在0.2～2.5μm波段为0.8722,2.5～5μm波段为0.6755,远大于纯LaFeO₃的发射率（近中红外波段发射率均为0.5左右）。发射率提升的机理在于：Mn掺杂后,引入了Mn³⁺杂质能级,产生了激活能小的Mn³⁺?Mn⁴⁺跳跃小极化子,电子-氧空位载流子吸收亦增强,同时体系的晶格畸变导致振动吸收加剧。第一性原理计算结果表明掺杂Mn/Cr/Co材料的禁带宽度分别0.793eV、2.406eV、1.722eV均小于纯LaFeO₃的3.817eV,结合态密度计算结果分析其原因,主要Mn3d、Cr3d、Co3d轨道与O2p轨道杂化形成杂质能级,同时Mn3d、Cr3d、Co3d在导带也存在态密度峰,且峰的位置都比LaFeO₃峰更靠近费米能级,作为新的导带底相当于缩短了价带顶到导带底之间的间隙宽度。LaFe_0.75Mn_0.25O₃材料在近中红外波段的优异辐射性能表现,可作为耐高温抗氧化高发射率材料在高温热工炉窑具有潜在应用前景。     

混合物相Co(OH)2/Co3O4催化剂的制备及其费托反应性能研究

Alumina supported cobalt–palladium catalysts for the reduction of NO by methane in stationary sources

In order to improve a “Three Function Catalysts Model”, the present paper deals with alumina based catalysts containing cobalt and palladium for the NO reduction by methane.

The deNO_x temperature window was estimated by adsorption and subsequent desorption of NO in lean conditions. Two NO_x desorption peaks were detected for both catalysts. For Pd(0.63)Co(0.58)/Al₂O₃, the two desorption peaks appeared at 205 and 423 °C, whereas for Pd(0.14)Co(0.57)/Al₂O₃, the maxima desorption temperature peaks were at 205 and 487 °C. In addition, NO oxidation was also studied to evaluate the catalyst first function. It was found that, the oxidation begins on Co–Pd/Al₂O₃ around 250 °C. On Pd(0.63)Co(0.58)/Al₂O₃, 8% of deNO_x were found in the range of the second NO_x desorption peak temperature (410 °C). During TPSR, C_xH_yO_z species such as formaldehyde were detected. These oxygenate species are the reactive intermediate for deNO_x by methane.     

Microstructure of Pd/CeO2 catalyst: Effect of high temperature reduction in hydrogen

The effect of high temperature reduction (HTR) in hydrogen (up to 1180 K) on the microstructure of 9 wt.-% Pd/CeO₂ catalyst was studied by HRTEM and XRD methods. Reduction of the catalyst at or above 973 K caused severe recrystallization of CeO₂ and Pd with simultaneous strong interaction between the two components appearing as three phenomena: epitaxial growth of small Pd particles on CeO₂ (most frequently with [111]Pd[111]CeO₂); decoration of large Pd particles with ordered CeO₂ overlayer and expansion of the lattice parameter of Pd (by 2.1%). The origin of the Pd lattice expansion is discussed and diffusion of Ce species into the Pd lattice seems to be the most probable one. HTR caused also phase transformations in the ceria support. At 973 K and 1100 K, whole CeO₂ was transformed into oxygen deficient CeO_x phase exhibiting the same or similar structure but with expanded lattice parameter (by 2.8%). At 1180 K most ceria was transformed into hexagonal A-Ce₂₃. The CeO_x phase appeared to be stable in hydrogen and in vacuum at room temperature, but upon exposure to air at room temperature it rapidly reoxidised to CeO₂. Ce₂O₃ also reoxidised to CeO₂ but much slower. Another consequence of HTR at or above 773 K was formation of pits in CeO₂ crystallites, mainly on (112)-type crystal faces. The pits (1–10 nm) exhibited well defined walls parallel to CeO₂ lattice fringes and they could possibly constitute nucleation sites for strongly bonded, epitaxial oriented Pd particles.     

Conversion of CO into CO2 by high active and stable PdNi nanoparticles supported on a metal-organic framework

The solubility of Pd(NO₃)₂ in water is moderate whereas it is completely soluble in diluted HNO₃ solution. Pd/MIL-101(Cr) and Pd/MIL-101-NH₂(Cr) were synthesized by aqueous solution of Pd(NO₃)₂ and Pd(NO₃)₂ solution in dilute HNO₃ and used for CO oxidation reaction. The catalysts synthesized with Pd(NO₃)₂ solution in dilute HNO₃ showed lower activity. The aqueous solution of Pd(NO₃)₂ was used for synthesis of mono-metal Ni, Pd and bimetallic PdNi nanoparticles with various molar ratios supported on MOF. Pd₇₀Ni₃₀/MIL-101(Cr) catalyst showed higher activity than monometallic counterparts and Pd+ Ni physical mixture due to the strong synergistic effect of PdNi nanoparticles, high distribution of PdNi nanoparticles, and lower dissociation and desorption barriers. Comparison of the catalysts synthesized by MIL-101(Cr) and MIL-101-NH₂(Cr) as the supports of metals showed that Pd/MIL-101-NH₂(Cr) outperforms Pd/MIL-101-(Cr) because of the higher electron density of Pd resulting from the electron donor ability of the NH₂ functional group. However, the same activities were observed for Pd₇₀Ni₃₀/MIL-101(Cr) and Pd₇₀Ni₃₀/MIL-101-NH₂(Cr), which is due to a less uniform distribution of Pd nanoparticles in Pd₇₀Ni₃₀/MIL-101-NH₂(Cr) originated from amorphization of MIL-101-NH₂(Cr) structure during the reduction process. In contrast, Pd₇₀Ni₃₀/MIL-101(Cr) revealed the stable structure and activity during reduction and CO oxidation for a long time.     

Studies of the activation process over Pd perovskite-type oxides used for catalytic oxidation of toluene

Calcined and reduced catalysts Pd/LaBO₃ (B = Co, Fe, Mn, Ni) were used for the total oxidation of toluene. Easiness of toluene destruction was found to follow the sequence based on the T₅₀ values (temperature at which 50% of toluene is converted): Pd/LaFeO₃ > Pd/LaMnO_3+δ > Pd/LaCoO₃ > Pd/LaNiO₃. In order to investigate the activation process (calcination and reduction) in detail, the reducibility of the samples was evaluated by H₂-TPR on the calcined catalysts. Additionally, characterization of the Pd/LaBO₃ (B = Co, Fe) surface was carried out by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) at each stage of the global process, namely after calcination, reduction and under catalytic reaction at either 150 or 200 °C for Pd/LaFeO₃ and either 200 or 250 °C for LaCoO₃. The different results showed that palladium oxidized entities were totally reduced after pre-reduction at 200 °C for 2 h (2 L/h, 1 °C/min). As LaFeO₃ was unaffected by such a treatment, for the other perovskites, the cations B are partially reduced as B³⁺ (B = Mn) or B²⁺ even to B⁰ (B = Co, Ni). In the reactive stream (0.1% toluene in air), Pd⁰ reoxidized partially, more rapidly over Co than Fe based catalysts, to give a Pd²⁺/Pd⁴⁺ and Pd⁰/Pd²⁺/Pd⁴⁺ surface redox states, respectively. Noticeably, reduced cobalt species are progressively oxidized on stream into Co³⁺ in a distorted environment. By contrast, only the lines characteristic of the initial perovskite lattice were detected by XRD studies on the used catalysts. The higher activity performance of Pd/LaFeO₃ for the total oxidation of toluene was attributed here to a low temperature of calcination and to a remarkable high stability of the perovskite lattice whatever the nature of the stream which allowed to keep a same palladium dispersion at the different stages of the process and to resist to the oxidizing experimental conditions. On the contrary, phase transformations for the other perovskite lattices along the process were believed to increase the palladium particle size responsible of a lower activity.     

NO reduction by CH4 over Pd/Co-sulfated zirconia catalysts

A series of sulfated zirconia supported Pd/Co catalysts was synthesized by the sol–gel method and examined for NO_x reduction by methane. The NO conversion increased up to a Co/S ratio of 0.43, and then decreased at a higher Co loading (Co/S = 0.95). Sulfate content was also essential for obtaining high selectivity to molecular nitrogen. A catalyst loaded with 0.06 wt.% Pd, 2.1 wt.% Co and 2.1 wt.% S (Pd/Co-SZ-2) exhibited remarkable performance under lean conditions and displayed stability in a long-term durability test using a synthetic reaction mixture containing 10% water vapor. This catalyst exhibited the highest sulfur retention most probably as cobalt sulfide. Besides, the catalytic oxidation of NO to NO_y groups was confirmed by FT-IR, in agreement with the general mechanism for the SCR of NO by hydrocarbons. In the absence of oxygen in the feed stream, the catalyst was highly active for NO reduction with methane. IR stretching bands assigned to N₂O and adsorbed nitro groups were identified upon adsorbing NO on Pd/Co-SZ-2. This indicates that under rich conditions disproportionation of NO to N₂O and NO₂ occurs and confirms that the formation of NO₂ species is an essential step for NO reduction by CH₄.     

Dependences of the Oxygen Reduction Reaction Activity of Pd–Co/C and Pd–Ni/C Alloy Electrocatalysts on the Nanoparticle Size and Lattice Constant

Carbon-supported Pd-based binary alloy electrocatalysts (Pd–Co and Pd–Ni) with different particle sizes for polymer electrolyte fuel cells were prepared by a NaBH₄ reduction method and investigated to examine effects of the size and lattice constant of the Pd alloy nanoparticles on the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity. The particle size and lattice constant were controlled in the wide ranges 4.2–12.1 and 0.3802–0.3948 nm, respectively by heating the catalysts in specific atmospheres. The alloy structures were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray absorption fine structure. The electrochemical tests of the Pd–Co/C and Pd–Ni/C catalysts were performed by cyclic voltammetry and rotating disk electrode in 0.1 M HClO₄. Nearly linear relationship between the lattice constant and nanoparticle size was observed with the Pd–Co and Pd–Ni nanoparticles. The nanoparticle sizes and lattice constants of the Pd–Co/C and Pd–Ni/C electrocatalysts, which influence the Pd d-band center, showed positive and inverse relations with the ORR specific activities, respectively. The mass activities of the Pd–Co/C and Pd–Ni/C electrocatalysts showed an increasing trend with the lattice expansion.     

Effect of Zr-doping on Pd/CexZr1-xO2 catalysts for oxidative carbonylation of phenol

Ce-Zr solid solution (Ce_xZr_1-xO₂, CZO) was prepared by the citric acid sol-gel method. The CZO was then used as a support for Pd/CZO catalysts for the oxidative carbonylation of phenol to diphenyl carbonate. The Pd/CZO catalyst showed enhanced activity and diphenyl carbonate selectivity compared with the Pd/CeO₂ catalyst. The catalytic performance of Pd/CZO was influenced by the calcination temperature of the CZO support. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, N₂ adsorption-desorption measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and H₂ temperature-programmed reduction measurements were used to investigate the effects of Zr doping and calcination temperature. The catalytic performance of Pd/CZO and Pd/CeO₂ for the oxidative carbonylation of phenol was affected by several factors, including the specific surface area, Ce³⁺ and/or oxygen vacancy content, oxygen species type and Pd(II) content of the catalyst. All these properties were influenced by Zr doping and the calcination temperature of the CZO support.     

Formation of Pd nanoparticles in surfactant-mesoporous silica composites and surfactant solutions

Highly dispersed palladium nanoparticles containing mesoporous silicas MCM-41 and MCM-48 were prepared by one-pot synthesis. The method consists of the simultaneous formation of CTA⁺ surfactant templating MCM-41 mesophase and CTA⁺ micelle-capped PdO, which was reduced by hydrogen to Pd metal with particle size ≈ 2 nm and was observed to stay inside the mesochannels of MCM-41 (pore size ≈ 3.8 nm) by TEM, XAS, and PXRD. During hydrothermal synthesis of Pd/MCM-48, Pd nanoparticles of average size ≈ 6–7 nm were deposited on the MCM-48 of pore size = 4 nm. The deposition is probably derived from ethanol reduction of Pd(II) complex generated from PdCl₂ precursor by hydrolysis of TEOS and C₁₂H₂₅(OCH₂CH₂)₄OH surfactant. The formation of Pd(0) from Pd(II) species in solid mesoporous silicas by hydrogen reduction was monitored by in situ XAS, and compared with the formation of Pd(0) from [PdCl₄]²⁻, [PdCl₃(H₂O)], and Pd(OH)₂ by sodium dodecyl sulfate surfactant and alcohol reduction in aqueous solutions.     

CH4-SCR of NO over Co and Pd ferrierite catalysts: Effect of preparation on catalytic performance

Selective catalytic reduction of NO with methane (CH₄-SCR) in the presence of oxygen excess and water vapour was studied over two bimetallic cobalt/palladium-based FER catalysts, which differ on the order of introduction of metal ions. H₂-TPR and UV–vis analysis showed that the simple change in the order of addition of metals to catalyst, gives rise to totally diverse species (Co²⁺ ions, Co oxides, Co-oxo cations and Pd species) both in type and quantity but also in location within zeolite framework. Experiments of TPD and TPSR of NO and NO₂ provided important information to establish a relation between the various active sites formed on both catalysts and their function in the reaction mechanism. The importance of NO₂ in the mechanism of NO reaction with CH₄ and O₂ was explored and the catalyst with a higher capacity to retain adsorbed NO₂ is the less active for deNO_x. The preparation of a bimetallic catalyst active for NO reduction must provide the proximity between Co and Pd species, and the presence of Co-oxo cations together with palladium species seem to be essential. Furthermore, a suitable amount of cobalt oxides must exist in order to originate NO₂ that is the main reaction intermediate. Nevertheless, an excessive amount of these Co species can lead to an increase of adsorbed NO₂, which reduces the rate of the reaction of some of the mechanism steps.
