Cerium based shells with palladium cores encapsulated:an efficient catalyst for carbon monoxide oxidation

Pd@Zr/Ce O2 core-shell catalyst prepared by hydrothermal method was applied in CO oxidation reaction, exhibiting high CO oxidation activity at low temperature.XRD(X-ray diffraction) analysis demonstrated that the remarkable enhancement of catalytic performance was found to depend on the presence of more oxygen vacancies in the core-shell structure, which contributed higher content of and ready release of active oxygen species at low temperature, confirmed by H2-TPR(temperature programed reduction) results.Interestingly, introducing a small amount of zirconium(0.5 wt.%) exhibited a significant improvement of catalytic activity because the introduction of Zr further improved the amount of crystal defects and promoted the migration of oxygen species.     

Influence of V2O5 Addition on Reduction of NO by C3H6 over Pt/V2O5/Al2O3 Monolithic Catalyst

Pt/V2O5/Al2O3 and Pt/Al2O3 monolithic catalysts were prepared by wet impregnation method, and the influence of V2 O5 addition on the catalytic activity for NO reduction by C3 H6 under lean burn condition was investigated in detail.The results show that Pt/V2O5/Al2O3 has better activity of NO reduction than Pt/Al2O3 , adding V2O5 to Pt catalyst makes the temperature window of NO reduction shift further to a lower temperature region.The activity of NO reduction decreases and there is a similar degree of deactivation over the two catalysts in the presence of SO2 in feed gas.Moreover, adding V2 O5 to Pt catalyst resulted in improvement of resistance to SO2 oxidation, which decreases the emission of sulfate particulate.Thermal aging treatment counteractes the promoting effect of V2O5 on NO reduction.

Preparation and CO conversion activity of ceria nanotubes by carbon nanotubes templating method

Ceria nanotubes with high CO conversion activity by means of carbon nanotubes as removable templates in the simple liquid phase process were fabricated under moderate conditions. The pristine CNTs were first pretreated by refluxing in a 30% nitric acid solution at 140 ℃ for 24 h, then dispersed in an ethanolic Ce（NO3）3.6H2O solution with ultrasonic radiation at room temperature for 1 h. Under vigorous stirring, NaOH solution was added drop by drop into the above ethanolic solution until the pH value was 10. The product was collected and repeatedly washed with ethanol and on drying at 60 ℃, the CeO2/CNT composites were obtained. Then, the as-prepared composites were heated at 450 ℃ in an air atmosphere for 30 min to remove CNTs. The ceria nanotubes were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction （XRD）, Transmission Electron Microscopy （TEM）, and X-Ray Photoelectron Spectrum （XPS）. The results showed that the ceria nanotubes were polycrystalline face-centered cubic phase and were composed of lots of dense cefia nanoparficles. The diameter of cefia nanotubes was about 40-50 nm. Catalytic activity of the product for CO oxidation was carded out at the region of 30-300 ℃ in a U-shaped quartz reactor with feeding about 0.15 g of the catalyst, which was loaded on Al2O3 carder. The inlet gas composition was 1.0% CO and 28% O2 with N2 as balance, and the rate of flow was kept at 40 ml/min. The catalytic products were analyzed by gas chromatography. The as-repared CeO2 nanotubes showed higher CO oxidation activity, which indicated that the morphology of ceria products affected the catalytic performance. The ceria nanotubes supported on Al2O3 demonstrated that conversion temperature for CO oxidation to CO2 was lower than that for bulk catalysts.     

CuO／CeO2 Catalysts for Selective Oxidation of Carbon Monoxide in Excess Hydrogen

CuO/CeO2 catalysts were prepared by a coprecipitation method and tested for CO removal from reformed fuels via selective oxidation. The influence of the calcination temperature on the chemical compositions and catalytic performance of CuO/CeO2 catalysts were studied. It was found that CuO/CeO2 catalysts exhibit excellent CO oxidation activity and selectivity, and the complete removal of CO is attained when the catalysts are calcined at appropriate temperatures. XRD, TPR and XPS results indicate that CuO/CeO2 catalysts exhibit higher catalytic performance in CO selective oxidation due to the strong interaction between copper oxide and cerium dioxide, which promotes the dispersion and hydrogen reduction activity of copper.     

Steam effects over Pd/Ce0.67Zr0.33O2-Al2O3 three-way catalyst

Ceria-zirconia-alumina (CZA) solid solution was prepared by sol-gel method in the present study. 0.5 wt.% Pd supported on CZA was prepared by incipient wetness impregnation. The steam effects for CO and C3H8 oxidation, three-way catalytic activity and stoichiometric window property were studied. The light-off temperature of the CO oxidation reaction shifted to a lower temperature due to the water-gas shift (WGS) reactions. The oxidation of C3H8 was enhanced due to the steam reforming (SR) reactions. The steam promoted the C3H8 oxidation and NO reduction in three-way catalytic reaction. The amplitude of stoichiometric window was amplified by the addition of water to the feed stream.

CeO2-Co3O4 Catalysts for CO Oxidation

CeO2-Co3O4 catalysts for low-temperature CO oxidation were prepared by a co-precipitation method. In combination with the characterization methods of N2 adsorption/desorption, XRD, temperature-programmed reduction （TPR）, and FT-IR, the influence of the cerium content on the catalytic performance of CeO2-Co3O4 was investigated. The results indicate that the prepared CeO2-Co3O4 catalysts exhibit a better activity than that of pure CeO2 or pure Co3O4. The catalyst with the Ce/Co atomic ratio 1 ： 16 exhibits the best activity, which converts 77% of CO at room temperature and completely oxidizes CO at 45 ℃.     

Copper-cerium oxides supported on carbon nanomaterial for preferential oxidation of carbon monoxide

The CuxO-Ce O2/Fe@CNSs, CuxO-Ce O2/MWCNTs-Co and CuxO-Ce O2/MWCNTs-Ni catalysts were prepared by the impregnation method and characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, H2-temperature programmed reduction and N2 adsorption-desorption techniques. It was found that the Fe nanoparticles were encapsulated into the multi-layered carbon nanospheres(CNSs). However, the multi-wall carbon nanotubes(MWCNTS) were generated on the Co/Al2O3 and Ni/Al2O3 precursor. The addition of carbon nanomaterial as supports could improve structural properties and low-temperature activity of the Cu O-Ce O2 catalyst, and save the used amount of metal catalysts in the temperature range with high selectivity for CO oxidation. The copper-cerium oxides supported on carbon nanomaterial had good resistence to H2 O and CO2.     

Valence State of Active Copper in CuOx/CeO2 Catalysts for CO Oxidation

CuOx/CeO2 catalysts were prepared by adsorption-impregnation method, CO conversion was tested over the catalysts pretreated under different conditions for preferential CO oxidation in H2, and the catalysts were characterized with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and temperature programmed reduction. Experimental results show that there are two kinds of copper, which are Cu^＋ and Cu^2＋ in calcined CuOx/CeO2, Among them, the Cu^＋ is the key active component for CO oxidation. The main reason is as follows： CO is activated by copper for CO oxidation over CuOx/CeO2, while CO can not be activated by Cu^2＋. Only when Cu^2＋ is reduced to Cu ^＋ or Cu^0, the copper may be active for CO oxidation, moreover, the experimental results show that the reduction of Cu^2＋ does not lead to an increase of catalytic activity. So the active species is Cu^＋ in CuOx/CeO2 catalysts.     

Support interaction of Pt/CeO_2 and Pt/SiC catalysts prepared by nano platinum colloid deposition for CO oxidation

The interaction between Pt and its various supports can regulate the intrinsic electronic structure of Pt particles and their catalytic performance.Herein,Pt/CeO_2 and Pt/SiC catalysts were successfully prepared via a facile Pt colloidal particle deposition method,and their catalytic performance in CO oxidation was investigated.XRD,TEM,XPS and H_2-TPR were used to identify the states of Pt particles on the support surface,as well as their effect on the performance of the catalysts.Formation of the Pt-O-Ce interaction is one of the factors controlling catalyst activity.Under the oxidative treatment at low temperature,the Pt-O-Ce interaction plays an important role in improving the catalytic activity.After calcining at high temperature,enhanced Pt-O-Ce interaction results in the absence of metallic Pt~0 on the support surface,as evidenced by the appearance of Pt~(2+) species.It is consistent with the XPS data of Pt/CeO_2,and is the main reason behind the deactivation of the catalyst.By contrast,either no interaction is formed between Pt and SiC or Pt nanoparticles remain in the metallic Pt~0 state on the SiC surface even after aging at 800℃in an oxidizing atmosphere.Thus,the Pt/SiC shows better thermal stability than Pt/CeO_2.The interaction between Pt and the active support may be concluded to be essential for CO oxidation at low temperature,but strong interactions may induce serious deactivation of catalytic activity.

La modified Ni/γ-Al2O3 catalysts prepared by co-precipitation method using NaOH-Na2CO3 as a precipitator show high activity and selectivity for the partial oxidation of methane (POM). Meanwhile, the addition of La is beneficial for the formation of an active component and stability of support. We investigated some factors including calcining temperature, nickel content, and space velocity, which turned out to have a strong influence on catalytic activity and selectivity. By XRD and TPR, it is concluded that Ni0 reduced from amorphous NiAl2O4 is the major active component for POM.

Synthesis of mesoporous CeO2-MnOx binary oxides and their catalytic performances for CO oxidation

Mesoporous CeO2-MnOx binary oxides with different Mn/Ce molar ratios were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis and characterized by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, N2 sorption, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） and H2 temperature-programmed reduction （H2-TPR）. The characterization results indicated that the CeO2-MnOx catalysts exhibited flower-like microspheres with high specific surface areas, and partial Mn cations could be incorporated into CeO2 lattice to form solid solution. The CeO2-MnOx catalysts showed better catalytic activity for CO oxidation than that prepared by the coprecipitation method. Furthermore, the CeO2-MnOx catalyst with Mn/Ce molar ratio of 1 in the synthesis gel （Ce-Mn-1） exhibited the best catalytic activity, over which the conversion of CO could achieve 90% at 135 ℃. This was ascribed to presence of more Mn species with higher oxida- tion state on the surface and the better reducibility over the Ce-Mn-I catalyst than other CeO2-MnOx catalysts.     

Effect of Lanthanum on Methanol Fuel Exhaust Deep Oxidation over Palladium Catalyst

The performance of deep oxidation of methanol on supported Pd catalyst was examined by a chromatograph-micro-reactor. The results show that the addition of La into γ-Al2O3 support can affect greatly the performance of the Pd catalyst. In the absence of CO, La can decrease the content of oxygen-containing intermediate, although La can not lower the light-off temperature of methanol oxidation. In the presence of CO, La can lower the light-off temperature, decrease theamount of CO adsorption, and weaken evidently “CO inhibition“ to the oxidation of methanol. By XPS technique, it is shown that La modifies the electronic structure of Pd, which attributes to the modifications of the catalytic performance.     

Ni/Y_2O3-Al2O3 catalysts for hydrogen production from steam reforming of ethanol at low temperature

Y2O3-Al2O3 with different mole ratios of Y:Al were prepared by co-precipitation method. Catalysts Ni/Y2O3, Ni/Al2O3 and Ni/ Y2O3-Al2O3 were prepared by impregnation method. The result of BET showed that Al2O3 with relative high surface area was in favor of Ni distribution, whilst the TPR test demonstrated that composite support had appropriate synergistic effect between active constituent and sup-port, and NiO could be reduced more easily than loaded on the single support. H2-TPD test indicated that the catalyst NYA11 had lots of ac-tivity sites where H could be desorbed easily, which led to hydrogen-rich production over the catalyst. Composite support catalysts exhibited high activity for ethanol steam reforming (SRE), and the supported catalyst with composite of 1:1 mole ratio of Y:Al exhibited the optimum catalytic properties for SRE. Ethanol could be completely converted over catalyst NYA11 even at 450 °C, and there had no inactivation after 60 h continuous reaction, hydrogen yield appeared maximum 35.9% at 400 °C, and tended to increase with increasing H2O/EtOH molar ratio and feed flow rate.     

Catalytic Decomposition of CFC-12 over Solid Superacid Mo2O3/ZrO2

Catalytic decomposition of dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-12) in the presence of water vapor and oxygen was studied over a series of solid superacids, Mo2O3/ZrO2, that had different ZrO2 content by using a fixed-bed reactor. CO2 and CClF3 were the main products and no CO was detected as by-product. The decomposition activity of solid superacid largely depended on the content of ZrO2 and the calcination temperatures of Mo2O3/ZrO2. The optimal calcination temperature and content of ZrO2 for preparing Mo2O3/ZrO2 with the highest activity for catalytic decomposition of CFC-12 were 450°C and 20–40% by weight, respectively. Adopting a low concentration of oxygen and CFC-12 together with a high concentration of water vapor was preferable for having the high conversion efficiency of CFC-12 and the selectivity for CO2. The catalytic activity of Mo2O3/ZrO2 remained steady for 100?h in continuous operation.
