The catalysts were investigated by XRD,TPR and XPS analyses and they were tested in partial oxidation of methane(CPO). The catalytic reaction was carried out at atmospheric pressure in a temperature range of 400–800℃ with a feed gas mixture containing methane and oxygen in a molecular ratio CH4/O2=2. The Ni catalyst exhibited 60% methane conversion with 60% selectivity to CO already at 500℃. On the contrary, the Ni–Ce catalyst was inert to CPO up to 700℃. Moreover, the former catalyst reproduced its activity at the descending temperatures maintaining a good stability at 600℃, over a reaction time of 80 h, whereas the latter one completely deactivated. Test of CH4 temperature programmed surface reaction(CH4-TPSR) revealed a higher methane activation temperature(> 100℃) for the Ni–Ce catalyst as compared to the Ni one. Noticeable improvement of the ceria containing catalyst occurred when the reaction test started at a temperature higher than the methane decomposition temperature. In this case, the sample achieved the same catalytic behavior of the Ni catalyst. As confirmed by XPS analyses, the distinct electronic state of the supported nickel was responsible for the differences in catalytic behavior.展开更多

The characterization of the catalysts by XPS and FTIR indicated that much "free" zinc oxide and unreacted Si\_OH existed on the surface of ZnO/SiO\-2 sample. As for ZnO\|SiO\-2 sol\|gel catalyst, the corresponding phenomena were not observed. The prepared samples were also used as the catalysts for decomposition of 2\|butanol. A high selectivity for dehydrogenation was observed over the supported catalyst. However, a high selectivity for dehydration was shown over the ZnO\|SiO\-2 sol\|gel catalyst. The opposite selectivity for dehydration or dehydrogenation observed over the two kinds of catalysts may be just because of the different surface structures of the catalysts.展开更多
