高效、清洁且无毒无害的催化剂是实现以甲酸(HCOOH)为化学储氢材料分解制氢的重点。首先,通过水热法453 K下制备了TiO_(2)载体;然后,通过浸渍法将活性组分Ni、Pd负载到TiO_(2)载体上合成了NiPd/TiO_(2)催化剂。采用SEM、TEM、N2吸附-脱附、XRD、XPS、UV-Vis DRS对催化剂样品进行了表征。探究了由不同n(Ni)∶n(Pd)制备的催化剂对催化甲酸分解制氢性能的影响。结果表明,NiPd金属粒子对TiO_(2)的改性不仅扩大了TiO_(2)的光吸收范围,还有助于电荷分离,加速光催化反应的进行。在光照下,当NiPd/TiO_(2)催化剂中n(Ni)∶n(Pd)=2∶8时,催化剂的反应转化频率(TOF)最大,为3528 h^(–1)(323 K下),甲酸分解的活化能(E_(a))为53.9 kJ/mol。

A comparative investigation of NdSrCu_(1-x) Co_x O_(4-δ) and Sm_(1.8) Ce_(0.2) Cu_(1-x) Co_x O_(4-δ) (x:0–0.4) for NO decomposition

A series of single-phase T-structured NdSrCu 1-x Co x O 4-δ with oxygen vacancies and T -structured Sm 1.8 Ce 0.2 Cu 1-x Co x O 4-δ （x： 0–0.4） with oxygen excess were prepared using ultrasound-assisted citric acid complexing method, and characterized by means of techniques such as thermogravimetric analysis and NO temperature-programmed desorption （NO-TPD）. The catalytic activities of these materials were evaluated for the decomposition of NO. It was found that the NdSrCu 1-x Co x O 4-δ catalysts were of oxygen vacancies whereas the Sm 1.8 Ce 0.2 Cu 1？x Co x O 4-δ ones possessed excessive oxygen （i.e., over-stoichiometric oxygen）; with a rise in Co doping level, the oxygen vacancy density of NdSrCu 1-x Co x O 4-δ decreased while the over-stoichiometric oxygen amount of Sm 1.8 Ce 0.2 Cu 1-x Co x O 4-δ increased. The NO-TPD results revealed that NO could be activated much easier over the oxygen-deficient perovskite-like oxides than over the oxygen-excessive perovskite-like oxides, with the NdSrCuO 3.702 catalyst showing the best efficiency in activating NO molecules. Under the conditions of 1.0% NO/helium, 2800 hr -1 , and 600–900°C, the catalytic activity of NO decomposition followed the order of NdSrCuO 3.702 〉 NdSrCu 0.8 Co 0.2 O 3.736 〉 NdSrCu 0.6 Co 0.4 O 3.789 〉 Sm 1.8 Ce 0.2 Cu 0.6 Co 0.4 O 4.187 〉 Sm 1.8 Ce 0.2 Cu 0.8 Co 0.2 O 4.104 〉 Sm 1.8 Ce 0.2 CuO 4.045 , in concord with the sequence of decreasing oxygen vacancy or oxygen excess density. Based on the results, we concluded that the higher oxygen vacancy density and the stronger Cu 3＋ /Cu 2＋ redox ability of NdSrCu 1-x Co x O 4-δ account for the easier activation of NO and consequently improve the catalytic activity of NO decomposition over the catalysts.

Ammonia Decomposition over Bimetallic Nitrides Supported on g-Al_2O_3

A series of monometallic nitrides and bimetallic nitrides were prepared by temperature-programmed reaction with NH3. The effects of Co, Ni and Fe additives and the synergic action between Fe, Co, Ni and Mo on the ammonia decomposition activity were investigated. TPR-MS, XRD were also carried out to obtain better insight into the structure of the bimetallic nitride. The results of ammonia decomposition activity show that bimetallic nitrides are more active than monometallic nitrides or bimetallic oxides.

Co-modified Pd/CeO_2-ZrO_2 catalysts for methanol decomposition

Pd/Ce0.8Zro.202 catalysts modified by cobalt were prepared by a sequential impregnation method and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction （XRD）, N2 adsorption/desorption （Brunauer-Emmet-Teller）, oxygen storage capacity （OSC）, CO-chemisorption, H2-temperature-programmed reduction （H2-TPR） and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）. The effect of Co on the performance of methanol decomposition was eval- uated at a fixed-bed microreactor. The results showed that the addition of Co can improve the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst and the dispersion of Pd. XPS results indicated that Pd was in a partly oxidized （Pd6＋, 1〈8〈2） state and Co2＋ was present in Pd catalysts modified by Co. A 90% conversion of methanol was achieved at around 280 ℃ over Pd-Co/Ceo.8Zro.202 catalyst which was 20 ℃ lower than that over Pd/Ceo.sZro.202, indicating that both pd6＋and Co2＋ play an important role in improving the catalytic activity of methanol decomposition.

Tuning the nucleation and decomposition of Li2O_(2) by fluorine-doped carbon vesicles towards high performance Li-O_(2) batteries

Li-O_(2) batteries provide an attractive and potential strategy for energy conversion and storage with high specific energy densities.However,large over-potential in oxygen evolution reactions (OER) caused by the decomposition obstacles of Li_(2)O_(2) seriously impedes its electrochemical performances.Herein,a novel N,O,S and F co-doping vesicular carbon was prepared by self-template pyrolysis method and used in LiO_(2) battery to tune the nucleation and decomposition of Li_(2)O_(2).The introduction of F in the carbon matrix with suitable content can regulate the adsorption of intermediates,through which the morphology of Li_(2)O_(2) can be controlled to film,favorable to its decomposition in charge process.The cathode based on the optimized F doped carbon vesicle exhibits improved electrochemical performances including a low over-potential,large capacity and a long-term stability.Density functional theory (DFT) results show that F and C in C–F bond hasve a strong interaction to Li and O in Li_(2)O_(2),respectively,which can enhance the transfer of electrons from Li_(2)O_(2) to the carbon matrix to generate hole polaron and thus accelerate the delithiation and decomposition of Li_(2)O_(2).This work provides a new sight into understanding the mechanism of nucleation and decomposition of Li_(2)O_(2) for the development of high-performance Li-O_(2) batteries.

鸡蛋壳负载Co_(3)O_(4)催化剂制备及其N_(2)O分解性能研究

采用废弃的鸡蛋壳作载体,沉积沉淀法制备了一系列不同Co_(3)O_(4)含量Co_(3)O_(4)/鸡蛋壳催化剂,并在连续流动微反装置上考察了N_(2)O分解性能。结果表明,当Co_(3)O_(4)质量分数为20%时,催化剂表现出优异的N_(2)O分解性能。在空速10000 h^(−1)和N_(2)O含量0.1%的条件下,400℃可实现N_(2)O完全转化;其比活性约为Co_(3)O_(4)催化剂的4.3倍(反应温度为440℃);同时,该催化剂对原料气中3%O_(2)、3.3%H_(2)O和/或2.0×10^(−4)NO表现出较强的耐受性和较高的稳定性。分析催化剂的多种表征结果发现,CaCO_(3)作为鸡蛋壳的主要成分,与活性组分Co_(3)O_(4)紧密结合,两者的强相互作用导致20%Co_(3)O_(4)/鸡蛋壳催化剂中产生更多的氧空位和Co^(3+);Co_(3)O_(4)氧化还原性能得到提高,Co−O键被有效削弱;此外,该强相互作用可提高20%Co_(3)O_(4)/鸡蛋壳催化剂表面碱性位点的强度,增大碱性位点数量,更易于转移电子而促进N_(2)O分解。

Catalysis of Nanometer α-Fe_2O_3 on the Thermal Decomposition of AP

Nanometer α-Fe2O3 catalysts were prepared by hydrolyzation in high temperature. Three kinds of precipitators, NaOH, （NH4）2CO3 and urea were used to compare the effect in the process of hydrolyzation. Nanometer sizer, transmission electron microscopy （TEM） and X-ray diffraction （XRD） were employed to test the profiles and diameters of the product particles. The test results indicate that the production is nanometer α-Fe2O3 with narrow particle size distribution （PSD） and good dispersibility. The catalysts are mixed with ammonia perchlorate （AP） in 1.0 wt.%. And the composite particles of catalysts with AP are prepared using a new solvent-nonsolvent method. Differential thermal analyzer （DTA） is employed to analysis the thermal decomposition of the composite particles and pure AP sample. The results imply that the thermal decomposition curve peaks of the samples in which nanometer α-Fe2O3 catalysts are added appear comparatively more ahead than that of pure AP sample. Among these mixtures added nanometer material, the smaller the particle diameter of catalyst is, the more ahead the thermal decomposition curve peaks of AP appear. The high and low temperature thermal decomposition curve peaks of AP mixed with the catalyst deposed by urea are more ahead of 77.8?℃ and 9.7?℃ than that of pure AP, respectively. The mechanism of the catalyst deposed by urea with smaller diameter and the distinct catalysis of the particles on the thermal decomposition of AP are discussed.

Effect of Ni^(+2)-substituted Fe_2TiO_5 on the H_2-reduction and CO_2 Catalytic Decomposition Reactions at 500℃

CO2 is a major component of the greenhouse gases, which causes the global warming. To reduce CO2 gas, high activity nanosized Ni＋2 substituted Fe2TiO5 samples were synthesized by conventional ceramic method. The effect of the composition of the synthesized ferrite on the H2-reduction and CO2-catalytic decomposition was investigated. Fe2TiO5 （iron titanate） phase that has a nanocrystallite size of -80 nm is formed as a result of heating Fe2O3 and TiO2 while the addition of NiO leads to the formation of new phases （-80 nm） NiTiO3 and NiFe2O4, but the mixed solid of NiO and Fe2O3 results in the formation of NiFe2O4 only. Samples with Ni^＋2=0 shows the lowest reduction extent （20%）; as the extent of Ni＋2 increases, the extent of reduction increases. The increase in the reduction percent is attributed to the presence of NiTiO3 and NiFe2O4 phases, which are more reducible phases than Fe2TiO5. The CO2 decomposition reactions were monitored by thermogravimetric analysis （TGA） experiments. The oxidation of the H2-reduced Ni＋2 substituted Fe2TiO5 at 500℃ was investigated. As Ni^＋2 increases, the rate of reoxidation increases. Samples with the highest reduction extents gave the highest reoxidation extent, which is attributed to the highly porous nature and deficiency in oxygen due to the presence of metallic Fe, Ni and/or FeNi alloy. X-ray diffraction （XRD） and transmission electron microscopy （TEM） of oxidized samples show also the presence of carbon in the sample containing Ni＋2〉0, which appears in the form of nanotubes （25 nm）.

Effects of Cerium Oxide on Ni/Al_2O_3 Catalysts for Decomposition of CH_4 and C_2H_4

Characteristics of carbon deposition of CH 4 and C 2H 4 decomposition over supported Ni and Ni Ce catalysts were studied by using a pulse reaction as well as BET, TPR, XPS and hydrogen chemisorption techniques. It is found that there is a metal semiconductor interaction (MScI) in the Ni Ce catalyst, and the effect of MScI on the carbon deposition of CH 4 decomposition is opposite to that of C 2H 4. A novel model of carbon deposition of CH 4 or C 2H 4 decomposition was proposed.

The effect of al particle size on thermal decomposition,mechanical strength and sensitivity of Al/ZrH_(2)/PTFE composite

To study the thermal decomposition of Al/Zr H_(2)/PTFE with different Al particle size as well as mechanical strength and impact sensitivity under medium and low strain rates,molding-vacuum sintering was adopted to prepare four groups of power materials and cylindrical specimens with different Al particle size.The active decomposition temperature of Zr H_(2) was obtained by TG-DSC,and the quasi-static mechanics/reaction characteristics as well as the impact sensitivity of the specimen were studied respectively by quasi-static compression and drop-hammer test.The results show that the yield strength of the material decreased with the increase of the Al particle size,while the compressive strength,failure strain and toughness increased first and then decreased,which reached the maximum values of 116.61 MPa,191%,and 119.9 MJ/m respectively when the Al particle size is 12-14 mm because of particle size grading.The specimens with the highest strength and toughness formed circumferential open cracks and reacted partly when pressed.Those with developmental cracks formed inside did not react.It is considered that fracture of specimens first triggered initial reaction between Al and PTFE to release an amount of heat.Then ZrH_(2) was activated and decomposed,and participated in subsequent reaction to generate Zr C.The impact sensitivity of the specimens decreased with the increase of Al particle size.

Effect of Nd-incorporation and K-modification on catalytic performance of Co3O4 for N2O decomposition

Nd-Co 3O 4 catalysts were prepared by hydrothermal and co-precipitation methods to catalyze the decomposition of N 2O. The catalysts prepared by hydrothermal method showed higher activity. Among the hydrothermal Nd-Co 3O 4 catalysts, the catalyst with Nd/Co molar ratio of 0.01 had higher activity. 0.01Nd-Co 3O 4 catalyst was then impregnated by K 2CO 3 solution to prepare K-modified catalyst. The catalysts were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen physisorption, scanning electrons microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction (H 2-TPR), and oxygen temperature-programmed desorption (O 2-TPD). The results show that Nd-Co 3O 4 and K-modified catalysts exhibit spinel structure. In contrast to bare Nd-Co 3O 4, the K-modified catalyst with higher activity is due to its weaker strength of Co-O bond and easier desorption of surface oxygen species. In addition, over 90% conversion of N 2O can be reached over 0.02K/0.01Nd-Co 3O 4 at 350 ℃ for 40 h under the co-presence of oxygen and steam in feed gases.

Characteristics of La-modified Ni-Al_2O_3 and Ni-SiO_2 catalysts for CO_x-free hydrogen production by catalytic decomposition of methane

Hydrotalcite precursors of La modified Ni-Al2O3 and Ni-SiO2 catalysts prepared by co-precipitation method and the catalytic activities were examined for the production of COx-free H2 by CH4 decomposition. Physico-chemical characteristics of fresh, reduced and used catalysts were evaluated by XRD, TPR and O2 pulse chemisorptions, TEM and BET-SA techniques. XRD studies showed phases due to hydrotalcite-like precursors in oven dried form produced dispersed NiO species upon calcination in static air above 450 C. Raman spectra of deactivated samples revealed the presence of both ordered and disordered forms of carbon. Ni-La-Al2O3catalyst with a mole ratio of Ni : La : Al = 2 : 0.1 : 0.9 exhibited tremendously high longevity with a hydrogen production rate of 1300 molH2 mol 1 Ni. A direct relationship between Ni metal surface area and hydrogen yields was established.

Methanol synthesis from hydrogenation of CO2 is investigated over Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts prepared by decomposition of M（Cu,Zn）-ammonia complexes （DMAC） at various temperatures.The catalysts were characterized in detail,including X-ray diffraction,N2 adsorption-desorption,N2O chemisorption,temperature-programmed reduction and evolved gas analyses.The influences of DMAC temperature,reaction temperature and specific Cu surface area on catalytic performance are investigated.It is considered that the aurichalcite phase in the precursor plays a key role in improving the physiochemical properties and activities of the final catalysts.The catalyst from rich-aurichalcite precursor exhibits large specific Cu surface area and high space time yield of methanol （212 g/（Lcat·h）;T=513 K,p=3MPa,SV=12000 h-1）.

Influence of Synthesis Conditions on the Preparation of Nanosized ZrO_2 Powders by Evaporative Decomposition of Solutions

Nanosized ZrO2 powder was prepared by evaporative decomposition of solution（EDS）. The particle size is from 50 nm to 200 nm. This process has such advantages as high purity, precise compositional control, simple procedure and successive auto-operating. In this process, mixed solution of zirconium acetate and yttrium nitrate was atomized to from a fine mist and blown into the hot zone from the bottom of furnace. The solution was rapidly decomposed at 900℃ and the powder was collected by a filter system. The powder characteristics can be controlled by adjusting the concentration, droplet volume and decomposition temperature of the solution.

Both of the cosolvents can accelerate the decomposition rate, and the effect of methanol is more significant than that of the cyclohexane.
