Thermal behaviors of deactivation catalysts for synthesizing 2, 3, 5-trimethylhydroquinone

The thermal behaviors of the deposits on supported noble metal catalysts for synthesizing 2, 3, 5-trimethylhydroquinone by DSC were studied. The results show that the supported Pd catalysts have two exothermic peaks at around 312 °C and 435 °C in the DSC thermograms, respectively, while the supported Pt catalysts have one exothermic peak at approximately 345 °C. Therefore, it is supposed that the adsorptive states of deposits on supported Pt catalysts and supported Pd catalysts are different, which may be one reason leading to the stability difference between supported Pt catalysts and supported Pd catalysts.

Second nearest-neighbor modified embedded-atom method interatomic potentials for the Pd-M (M = Al,Co, Cu,Fe, Mo,Ni, Ti) binary systems

Palladium (Pd) has attracted attention as one of the major components of noble metal catalysts due to its excellent reactivity to a wide range of catalytic reactions. It is important to predict and control the atomic arrangement in catalysts because their properties are known to be affected by it. Therefore, to enable atomistic simulations for investigating the atomic scale structural evolution, we have developed interatomic potentials for Pd-M (M = Al, Co, Cu, Fe, Mo, Ni, Ti) binary systems based on the second nearest-neighbor modified embedded-atom method formalism. These potentials reproduce various fundamental properties of the alloys (the structural, elastic and thermodynamic properties of compound and solution phases, and order-disorder transition temperature) in reasonable agreements with experimental data, first-principles calculations and CALPHAD assessments. Herein, we propose that these potentials can be applied to the design of robust bimetallic catalysts by predicting the shape and atomic arrangement of Pd bimetallic nanoparticles.     

Controlled synthesis and properties of palladium nanoparticles

In our research, the preparation processes of Pd nanoparticles (Pd NPs) with different methods by adding a certain amount of silver nitrate, iron chloride or sodium iodide are presented in order to control their size and morphology. Various sizes and shapes of Pd NPs are observed by alcohol reduction. The results show the size and morphology control of Pd NPs with chemical reductions of Pd salts by ethanol and ethylene glycol (EG) that have very different reduction processes. The modified polyol method with the gradual addition of Pd and polyvinylpyrollidone precursors in EG at 160°C has led to control their size and morphology in the 10?nm range using 0.02?M AgNO₃. It is observed that the Pd nanorod is also formed. The main factors that will control the shapes of Pd NPs have been presented to explain their growth and formation mechanisms in a control process.     

Response time and mechanism of Pd modified TiO2 gas sensor

In this work, gas response properties of Pd modified TiO₂ sensing films are discussed when exposed to H₂ and O₂. TiO₂ films are surface modified in PdCl₂-containing solution by the dipping method and treated for different treatment times to get different surface states. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Kröger–Vink defect theory are used to characterize the sensing films. The gas response properties indicate that the sensor response time which related to the rate of change of sensor resistance is affected by the activation energy (E). In particular, the sensor treated at 900 °C for 2 h exhibits a response time of about 20–240 ms when exposed to H₂ and 40–130 ms when exposed to O₂ at 500–800 °C.     

Controllable electrodeposition synthesis of Pd/TMxOy-rGO/CFP composite electrode for highly efficient methanol electro-oxidation

A novel and high-efficiency Pd/TM_xO_y-rGO/CFP (TM_xO_y = Co₃O₄, Mn₃O₄, Ni(OH)₂) electrocatalyst for directly integrated membrane electrode was synthesized by controllable cyclic voltammetry electrodeposition combined with hydrothermal process. The results showed excellent performance towards methanol oxidation reduction. The Pd/Co₃O₄-rGO/CFP as-prepared catalyst has the best electrocatalytic activity, and mass activity is 5181 mA·mg⁻¹_Pd, which is about 40 times and 4.3 times that of the commercial Pd/C and Pt/C catalyst (JM). It can be attributed that the small size of Pd nanoparticle, uniformity of distribution, and the synergistic interaction between transition metal oxide on the support surface and Pd nanoparticles. The prepared Pd/TM_xO_y-rGO/CFP composite electrode is a promising catalyst for integrated membrane electrode assembly of proton exchange membrane fuel cells in the future.     

Graphitized carbon nanocages/palladium nanoparticles: Sustainable preparation and electrocatalytic performances towards ethanol oxidation reaction

Graphitized carbon (GC) nanocages have been successfully prepared via a sustainable carbon powder buried-type Ni catalysis-growth technology from Tween-80 molecule precursor. The GC nanocages are used as support for the further construction of GC/Pd electrocatalyst towards ethanol oxidation reaction. The material structures and surface morphologies are studied by XRD, SEM and TEM techniques. The electrochemical properties are investigated by CV, LSV, EIS and CP techniques. The results showed that GC nanocages have good graphited structure and plentiful opening gaps, and the Pd nanoparticles were evenly distributed on the inner and outer surfaces of GC nanocages. The GC/Pd electrocatalyst exhibits excellent electrocatalytic performance towards ethanol oxidation. The positive scanning peak current density of GC/Pd electrode is up to 1612 A/g Pd in 1.0 mol/L NaOH +1.0 mol/L ethanol electrolyte, which is much higher than those (500–1100 A/g Pd) of traditional Pd electrodes supported with carbon nanotubes or graphene nanosheets.     

Performance of Pd composite membrane prepared by organic–inorganic method in WGS membrane reactor

H₂ production via water–gas shift (WGS) reaction in a Pd membrane reactor prepared by the electroless plating technique (ELP) “organic–inorganic” method was investigated. Pd nanoparticles embedded polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used as a polymer template during the activation step. Gas permeation results showed an infinite selectivity for H₂/N₂ with a H₂ flux of 0.004–0.016 mol/m²·s depending on operating conditions while it decreased until 0.0005 mol/m²·s for gas mixtures. Furthermore, WGS membrane reactor experiments showed a maximum CO conversion of 98.5% with a H₂ recovery of 16% at 450°C. The membrane performance was consistent during WGS catalytic membrane reactors (CMR) tests, thereby confirming the stability of the obtained membrane.
