It was found that the catalytic performance of the Cu-based catalyst improved after V addition. The influence of reaction temperature, space velocity and the molar ratio of H2 to CO2 on the performance of 12%Cu-6%V/γ-Al2O3 catalyst were also studied. The results indicated that the best conditions for reaction were as follows: 240 ℃, 3600 h^-1 and a molar ratio of H2 to 602 of 3:1. The results of XRD and TPR characterization demonstrated that the addition of V enhanced the dispersion of the supported CuO species, which resulted in the enhanced catalytic performance of Cu-V/γ-Al2O3 binary catalyst.展开更多

Different supports, such as SSP, MCM-41, TiSSP and TiMCM were used to prepare Co catalysts with 20 wt% Co loading. The supports and catalysts were characterized by means of N2 physisorption, XRD, SEM/EDX, XPS, TPR and CO chemisorption. It is found that after calcination of catalysts, Ti is present in the form of anatase. The introduction of Ti plays important roles in the properties of Co catalysts by:(i) facilitating the reduction of Co oxides species which are strongly interacted with support, (ii) preventing the formation of silicate compounds, and (iii) inhibiting the RWGS reaction. Based on CO2 hydrogenation, the CoTiMCM catalyst exhibites the highest activity and stability.展开更多

In this work, a series of In, Zr, Co, and Ni-doped CuO-ZnO catalysts wassynthesized via a hydrothermal method. By introducing a second metal element, the activity and dispersion of the activesites can be adjusted and the synergy between the metal and the carrier can be enhanced, forming an abundance of oxygenvacancies. Oxygen vacancies not only adsorb CO_(2) but also activate the intermediates in methanol synthesis, playing a keyrole in the entire reaction. Co3O4-CuO-ZnO had the best catalytic performance (a CO_(2) conversion rate of 9.17%;a CH_(3)OHselectivity of 92.77%). This study describes a typical strategy for multi-component doping to construct a catalyst with anabundance of oxygen vacancies, allowing more effective catalysis to synthesize CH_(3)OH from CO_(2).展开更多

The catalysts were characterized with N2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), H2 temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR), NH3 temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD) and N2O titration techniques, and tested for the synthesis of DME directly from CO2 hydrogenation in a fixed-bed reactor. The results showed that the reducibility, dispersion ofbifunctional catalysts were strongly dependent on the addition of La. With the addition of appropri- ate amount of La, the crystaUite size of CuO was decreased and the dispersion of Cu on the surface was enhanced, which resulted in the increased conversion of CO2. It was also found that the selectivity to DME was related to the intensity and amount of strong acid site on the catalyst surface. The presence of La favored the production of DME, and the optimum catalytic activity was obtained when the amount of La was 2.0 wt.%.展开更多

The activity of the catalysts was tested for methanol synthesis from CO2 hydrogenation. It is found that the increase in the Zn/Zr ratio could lead to the sintering of the catalysts, destroying the macroporous structure integrity. The macroporous CZZ catalysts own lower Zn/Zr ratio, exhibiting a better morphology and activity. For comparison, the conventional nonporous CZZ catalysts were also investigated. The results show that the CZZ catalysts with macroporous structure own smaller particles, higher CO2 conversion, and CH3OH yield. It reveals that the macroporous structure could inhibit the growth of the par- ticle size, and the special porous structure is favorable for diffusion and penetration of CO2, which could improve the catalytic activities.展开更多

However, development of robust catalyst with controllable selectivity and stability remains a challenge. Herein, we report that Zn-promoted Fe catalyst can boost the stable and selective production of light olefins from CO_(2). Specifically, the Zn-promoted Fe exhibits a highly stable activity and olefin selectivity over 200 h time-on-stream compared to the unpromoted Fe catalyst, primarily owing to the preservation of active χ-Fe_(5)C_(2) phase. Structural characterizations of the spent catalysts suggest that Zn substantially regulates the content of iron carbide on the surface and suppresses the reoxidation of bulk iron carbide during the reaction. DFT calculations confirm that adsorption of surface carbon atoms and graphene-like carbonaceous species are not thermochemically favored on Zn-promoted Fe catalyst. Carbon deposition by CAC coupling reactions of two surface carbon atoms and dehydrogenation of CH intermediate are also inhibited. Furthermore, the effects of Zn on antioxidation of iron carbide were also investigated. Zn favored the hydrogenation of surface adsorbed oxygen atoms to H_(2)O and the desorption of H_(2)O, which reduces the possibility of surface carbide being oxidized by the chemisorbed oxygen.展开更多

It is found that the increase in the Zn/Zr ratio could lead to the sintering of the catalysts, destroying the macroporous structure integrity. The macroporous CZZ catalysts own lower Zn/Zr ratio, exhibiting a better morphology and activity. For comparison, the conventional nonporous CZZ catalysts were also investigated. The results show that the CZZ catalysts with macroporous structure own smaller particles, higher CO2 conversion, and CH3OH yield. It reveals that the macroporous structure could inhibit the growth of the par- ticle size, and the special porous structure is favorable for diffusion and penetration of CO2, which could improve the catalytic activities.

文摘CO_(2)hydrogenation has been considered to be a highly promising route for the production of high-value olefins(HVOs)while also mitigating CO_(2)emissions.However,it is challenging to achieve high selectivity and maintain stable performance for HVOs(ethylene,propylene,and linear a-olefins)over a prolonged reaction time due to the difficulty in precise control of carbon coupling and rapid catalyst deactivation.Herein,we present a selective Ba and Na co-modified Fe catalyst enriched with Fe_(5)C_(2)and Fe_(3)C active sites that can boost HVO synthesis with up to 66.1%selectivity at an average CO_(2)conversion of 38%for over 500 h.Compared to traditional NaFe catalyst,the combined effect of Ba and Na additives in the NaBaFe-0.5 catalyst suppressed excess oxidation of FeCxsites by H_(2)O.The absence of Fe3O4phase in the spent NaBaFe-0.5 catalyst reflects the stabilization effect of the co-modifiers on the FeCxsites.This study provides a strategy to design Fe-based catalysts that can be scaled up for the stable synthesis of HVOs from CO_(2)hydrogenation.

文摘The interaction between a promoter and an active metal crucially impacts catalytic performance.Nowadays,the influence of promoter contents and species has been intensively considered.In this study,we investigate the effect of the iron(Fe)-zinc(Zn)proximity of Fe-Zn bimetallic catalysts on CO_(2)hydrogenation performance.To eliminate the size effect,Fe_(2)O_(3)and ZnO nanoparticles with uniform size are first prepared by the thermal decomposition method.By changing the loading sequence or mixing method,a series of Fe-Zn bimetallic catalysts with different Fe-Zn distances are obtained.Combined with a series of characterization techniques and catalytic performances,Fe-Zn bimetallic proximity for compositions of Fe species is discussed.Furthermore,we observe that a smaller Fe-Zn distance inhibits the reduction and carburization of the Fe species and facilitates the oxidation of carbides.Appropriate proximity of Fe and Zn(i.e.,Fe_1Zn_(1)-imp and Fe_(1)Zn_(1)-mix samples)results in a suitable ratio of the Fe_5C_(2)and Fe_(3)O_(4)phases,simultaneously promoting the reverse water-gas shift and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactions.This study provides insight into the proximity effect of bimetallic catalysts on CO_(2)hydrogenation performance.

文摘Magnesium hydride(MgH_(2))is the most feasible and effective solid-state hydrogen storage material,which has excellent reversibility but initiates decomposing at high temperatures and has slow kinetics performance.Here,zinc titanate(Zn_(2)TiO_(4))synthesised by the solid-state method was used as an additive to lower the initial temperature for dehydrogenation and enhance the re/dehydrogenation behaviour of MgH_(2).With the presence of Zn_(2)TiO_(4),the starting temperature for the dehydrogenation of MgH_(2)was remarkably lowered to around 290℃–305℃.In addition,within 300 s,the MgH_(2)–Zn_(2)TiO_(4)sample absorbed 5.0 wt.%of H_(2)and 2.2–3.6 wt.%H_(2)was liberated from the composite sample in 30 min,which is faster by 22–36 times than as-milled MgH_(2).The activation energy of the MgH_(2)for the dehydrogenation process was also downshifted to 105.5 k J/mol with the addition of Zn_(2)TiO_(4)indicating a decrease of 22%than as-milled MgH_(2).The superior behaviour of MgH_(2)was due to the formation of Mg Zn_(2),MgO and MgTiO_(3),which are responsible for ameliorating the re/dehydrogenation behaviour of MgH_(2).These findings provide a new understanding of the hydrogen storage behaviour of the catalysed-MgH_(2)system.

文摘Production of light olefins from CO_(2), the primary greenhouse gases, is of great importance to mitigate the adverse effects of CO_(2) emission on environment and to supply the value-added products from nonpetroleum resource. However, development of robust catalyst with controllable selectivity and stability remains a challenge. Herein, we report that Zn-promoted Fe catalyst can boost the stable and selective production of light olefins from CO_(2). Specifically, the Zn-promoted Fe exhibits a highly stable activity and olefin selectivity over 200 h time-on-stream compared to the unpromoted Fe catalyst, primarily owing to the preservation of active χ-Fe_(5)C_(2) phase. Structural characterizations of the spent catalysts suggest that Zn substantially regulates the content of iron carbide on the surface and suppresses the reoxidation of bulk iron carbide during the reaction. DFT calculations confirm that adsorption of surface carbon atoms and graphene-like carbonaceous species are not thermochemically favored on Zn-promoted Fe catalyst. Carbon deposition by CAC coupling reactions of two surface carbon atoms and dehydrogenation of CH intermediate are also inhibited. Furthermore, the effects of Zn on antioxidation of iron carbide were also investigated. Zn favored the hydrogenation of surface adsorbed oxygen atoms to H_(2)O and the desorption of H_(2)O, which reduces the possibility of surface carbide being oxidized by the chemisorbed oxygen.
