Promotion effects of alkali metals on iron molybdate catalysts for CO_(2)catalytic hydrogenation

CO_(2)hydrogenation is an attractive way to store and utilize carbon dioxide generated by industrial processes,as well as to produce valuable chemicals from renewable and abundant resources.Iron catalysts are commonly used for the hydrogenation of carbon oxides to hydrocarbons.Iron-molybdenum catalysts have found numerous applications in catalysis,but have been never evaluated in the CO_(2)hydrogenation.In this work,the structural properties of iron-molybdenum catalysts without and with a promoting alkali metal(Li,Na,K,Rb,or Cs)were characterized using X-ray diffraction,hydrogen temperatureprogrammed reduction,CO_(2)temperature-programmed desorption,in-situ^(57)Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy and operando X-ray adsorption spectroscopy.Their catalytic performance was evaluated in the CO_(2)hydrogenation.During the reaction conditions,the catalysts undergo the formation of an iron(Ⅱ)molybdate structure,accompanied by a partial reduction of molybdenum and carbidization of iron.The rate of CO_(2)conversion and product selectivity strongly depend on the promoting alkali metals,and electronegativity was identified as an important factor affecting the catalytic performance.Higher CO_(2)conversion rates were observed with the promoters having higher electronegativity,while low electronegativity of alkali metals favors higher light olefin selectivity.

Nanostructured ultrathin catalyst layer with ordered platinum nanotube arrays for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells

Fabrication of novel electrode architectures with nanostructured ultrathin catalyst layers is an effective strategy to improve catalyst utilization and enhance mass transport for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs).Herein,we report the design and construction of a nanostructured ultrathin catalyst layer with ordered Pt nanotube arrays,which were obtained by a hard-template strategy based on ZnO,via hydrothermal synthesis and magnetron sputtering for PEMFC application.Because of the crystallographically preferential growth of Pt (111) facets,which was attributed to the structural effects of ZnO nanoarrays on the Pt nanotubes,the catalyst layers exhibit obviously higher electrochemical activity with remarkable enhancement of specific activity and mass transport compared with the state-of-the-art randomly distributed Pt/C catalyst layer.The PEMFC fabricated with the as-prepared catalyst layer composed of optimized Pt nanotubes with an average diameter of 90(±10) nm shows excellent performance with a peak power density of 6.0W/mgPt at 1 A/cm^2,which is 11.6%greater than that of the conventional Pt/C electrode.

Hydroisomerization performance of platinum supported on ZSM-22/ZSM-23 intergrowth zeolite catalyst

Hydroisomerization catalysts Pt/ZSM-22, Pt/ZSM-23, and Pt/ZSM-22/ZSM-23 were prepared by supporting Pt on ZSM-22, ZSM-23, and intergrowth zeolite ZSM-22/ZSM-23, respectively. The typical physicochemical properties of these catalysts were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction （XRD）, N2 absorption-desorption, Pyridine-Fourier Transform Infrared （Py-FTIR）, Transmission Electron Microscopy （TEM）, X-Ray Fluorescence （XRF）, Scanning Electron Microscopy （SEM） and NH3- Temperature Programmed Desorption （NH3-TPD）, and the performance of these catalysts in n-dodecane hydroisomerization was evaluated in a continuous down-flow fixed bed with a stainless steel tubular reactor. The characterization results indicated that the intergrowth zeolite ZSM-22/ZSM-23 possessed the dual structure of ZSM-22 and ZSM-23, and the catalyst Pt/ZSM-22/ZSM-23 had similar pores and weak acidity to Pt/ZSM-22 and Pt/ZSM-23 catalysts. Moreover, Pt/ZSM-22/ZSM-23 catalyst showed a high selectivity in hydroisomerization of long chain n-alkanes to mono-branched isomers. The evaluation results for n-dodecane hydroisomerization indicated that the activity of Pt/ZSM-22/ZSM-23 was the lowest, while the hydroisomerization selectivity was the highest among the three catalysts. The maximum yield of i-dodecane product was 68.3% over Pt/ZSM-22/ZSM-23 at 320 ℃.

In situ grown nanoscale platinum on carbon powder as catalyst layer in proton exchange membrane fuel cells(PEMFCs)

An extensive study has been conducted on the proton exchange membrane fuel cells （PEMFCs） with reducing Pt loading. This is commonly achieved by developing methods to increase the utilization of the platinum in the catalyst layer of the electrodes. In this paper, a novel process of the catalyst layers was introduced and investigated. A mixture of carbon powder and Nafion solution was sprayed on the glassy carbon electrode （GCE） to form a thin carbon layer. Then Pt particles were deposited on the surface by reducing hexachloroplatinic （IV） acid hexahydrate with methanoic acid. SEM images showed a continuous Pt gradient profile among the thickness direction of the catalytic layer by the novel method. The Pt nanowires grown are in the size of 3 nm （diameter） x l0 nm （length） by high solution TEM image. The novel catalyst layer was characterized by cyclic voltammetry （CV） and scanning electron microscope （SEM） as compared with commercial Pt/C black and Pt catalyst layer obtained from sputtering. The results showed that the platinum nanoparticles deposited on the carbon powder were highly utilized as they directly faced the gas diffusion layer and offered easy access to reactants （oxygen or hydrogen）.

Preparations of Pure Alkaline Earth Molybdate Phases from Single Molecular Precursors

The pure phases of alkaline earth molybdates MMoO 4, where M=Mg, Ca, Sr or Ba, were synthesized via the calcination of the related citrato oxomolybdate complexes. The mixed metal oxides can be highly dispersed at the atomic level due to the existence of uniform citrato oxomolybdenum precursors in definite composition. The complexing effect helps to produce the fine-grained oxides with particle size in the ultrafine scale(<100 nm) at heat-treatment temperatures below 500 ℃. The structures of the precursor complexes and the finally heat-treated particles were studied by means of IR, XRD, DSC, DTA and TG techniques. The morphologies of the particles were observed by using the SEM technique. The average particle sizes were calculated to be in the range of 30_50 nm based on X-ray diffraction line-broadening and SEM images, indicating the poor conglomeration of crystallite at low temperatures.

Effects of iron precursors on the structure and catalytic performance of iron molybdate prepared by mechanochemical route for methanol to formaldehyde

Mechanochemical synthesis has been applied for many novel material preparations and gained more and more attention due to green and high-efficiency recently. In order to explore the influences of iron precursors on structure and performance of iron molybdate catalyst prepared by mechanochemical route, three typical and cheap iron precursors have been used in preparation of iron molybdate catalyst. Many characterization methods have been employed to obtain the physical and chemical properties of iron molybdate catalyst. Results indicate that iron precursors have the significant impact on the phase composition, crystal morphology and catalytic performance in the conversion of methanol to formaldehyde. It is hard to regulate the phase composition by changing Mo/Fe mole ratios for Fe2(SO4)3 as iron precursor. In addition, as for Fe2(SO4)3, the formaldehyde yield is lower than that from iron molybdate catalyst prepared with Fe(NO3)3·9H2O due to the reduction in Fe2(MoO4)3 phase as active phase. Based on mechanochemical and coprecipitation method, the solvent water could be a key factor for the formation of MoO3 and Fe2(MoO4) for FeCl3·6H2O and Fe2(SO4)3 as precursors. Iron molybdate catalyst prepared with Fe(NO3)3·9H2O by mechanochemical route, shows the best methanol conversion and formaldehyde yield in this reaction.

Rapid synthesis of highly active Pt/C catalysts with various metal loadings from single batch platinum colloid

A series of Pt/C catalysts for proton exchange membrane fuel cells(PEMFCs) with various metal loadings is synthesized by a microwave-assisted polyol process via mixing an extremely stable platinum colloid(> 3 months’ shelf life) from single batch preparation with activated carbon ethylene glycol suspension.21 wt%, 42 wt% and 61 wt% Pt loadings are employed to showcase the advantages of the improved polyol process. The ultraviolet(UV)–visible spectra and ζ-potential measurements are conducted to monitor the wet chemistry process during catalyst preparation. The powder X-ray diffraction(XRD), transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and thermogravimetric analysis(TGA) characterizations are carried out on catalysts. The catalyst activities are investigated using electrochemical and single cell tests. The stability of Pt nanoparticle colloid is explored by ORR, cyclic voltammetry(CV) and ζ-potential measurements. The TEM results show the Pt particle sizes of the colloid, and the sizes of the 21 wt%, 42 wt% and 61 wt%Pt/C samples are 2.1–3.9 nm. Because of the high Pt dispersion, the Pt/C catalysts exhibit superior electroactivity toward ORR. In addition, four 61 wt% Pt/C catalysts made from the Pt colloid with 0–3 months’ shelf life show almost the same performance, which exhibits superior stability of the Pt colloid system without surfactant protection.

Hydrogenation of ortho-nitrochlorobenzene on activated carbon supported platinum catalysts

Platinum/carbon catalyst is one of the most important catalysts in hydrogenation of ortho-nitrochlorobenzene to 2,2′-dichlorohydrazobenzene. The preparation process and the supports of catalysts are studied in this paper. Raw materials and preparation procedure of the activated carbon have great influences on the compositions and surface structure of platinum/carbon catalysts. Platinum catalysts supported on activated carbon with high purity, high surface area, large pore volume and appropriate pore structure usually exhibit higher activities for hydrogenation of ortho-nitrochlorobenzene to 2,2′-dichlorohydrazobenzene. The catalyst prepared from H2PtCl6 with pH=3 shows greater catalytic performance than those prepared under other conditions.

The Effect of Platinum on Stability of the B_2O_3/TiO_2-ZrO_2 Catalyst for Beckmann Rearrangement of Cyclohexanone Oxime

The addition of platinum over the B2O3/TiO2-ZrO2 remarkably enhanced its catalytic stability in the vapor phase Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime under the carder gas of H2. The content of coke deposited on catalyst surface was decreased from 1.92% over the B2O3/TiO2-ZrO2 to 1.14% over the platinum promoted B2O3/TiO2-ZrO2 after reaction of six hours. This result indicates that the platinum added on the B2O3/TiO2-ZrO2 catalyst plays an important role in reducing the coke formation on the catalyst surface.

Separation of Pd and Pt from highly acidic leach liquor of spent automobile catalysts with monothio-Cyanex 272 and trioctylamine

Platinum group metals(PGMs),especially Pd,Pt,and Rh,have drawn great attention due to their unique features.Direct separation of Pd and Pt from highly acidic automobile catalyst leach liquors is disturbed by various factors.This work investigates the effect of various parameters including the acidity,extractant concentration,phase ratio A/O,and diluents on the Pd and Pt extraction and their stripping behaviors.The results show that the Pd and Pt are successfully separated from simulated leach liquor of spent automobile catalysts with monothioCyanex 272 and trioctylamine(TOA).Monothio-Cyanex 272 shows strong extractability and specific selectivity for Pd,and only one single stage is needed to recover more than 99.9% of Pd,leaving behind all the Pt,Rh,and base metals of Fe,Mg,Ce,Ni,Cu,and Co in the raffinate.The loaded Pd is efficiently stripped by acidic thiourea solutions.TOA shows strong extractability for Pt and Fe at acidity of 6 mol·L^(–1) HCl.More than 99.9% of Pt and all of the Fe are extracted into the organic phase after two stages of countercurrent extraction.Diluted HCl easily scrubs the loaded base metals(Fe,Cu,and Co).The loaded Pt is efficiently stripped by 1.0 mol·L^(–1) thiourea and 0.05–0.1 mol·L^(–1) Na OH solutions.Monothio-Cyanex 272 and TOA can realize the separation of Pd and Pt from highly acidic leach liquor of spent automobile catalysts.

Progress on Platinum-Based Catalyst Layer Materials for H_(2)-PEMFC

The constant increase in energy demand and related environmental issues have made fuel cells an attractive technology as an alternative to conventional energy technologies.Like any technology,fuel cells face drawbacks that scientific society has been focused on to improve and optimize the overall technology.Thus,the cost is the main inhibitor for this technology due to the significantly high cost of the materials used in catalyst layers.The current discussion mainly focuses on the fundamental electrochemical half-cell reaction of hydrogen oxidation reaction(HOR)and oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)that are taking place in the catalyst layers consisting of Platinum-based and Platinum-non noble metals.For this purpose,studies from the literature are presented and analyzed by highlighting and comparing the variations on the catalytic activity within the experimental catalyst layers and the conventional ones.Furthermore,an economic analysis of the main platinum group metals(PGMs)such as Platinum,Palladium and Ruthenium is introduced by presenting the economic trends for the last decade.

Pd(111)与Pt(111)上NO氧化的第一性原理研究

随着排放法规的日益严格,发动机的氮氧化物(NO_(x))后处理已成为当今研究的重点问题.针对目前可有效降低稀燃汽油机NO_(x)的稀燃氮氧化物捕集器中铂(Pt)和钯(Pd)两种贵金属之间的替换问题,进行了密度泛函理论(density functional theory,DFT)计算研究.首先,对一氧化氮(NO)、氧气(O_(2))、二氧化氮(NO_(2))在两种催化剂(111)表面的吸附进行了研究,之后,在两催化剂表面对比研究了氧化过程中涉及的O_(2)解离与NO氧化两反应过程,揭示了NO在Pd与Pt催化剂上的氧化机理.结果显示:3种物质在催化剂表面的吸附强度为NO>O_(2)>NO_(2).氧覆盖度将会改变氮氧化物的最佳吸附构型,随着表面氧原子的增加NO会由三重空位式吸附转变为顶点吸附,NO_(2)会由μ-N,O-亚硝基吸附转变为硝基吸附.在O_(2)解离过程中Pt的催化能力优于Pd,但是两者对NO氧化的催化能力接近.在Pd和Pt表面反应限速步骤都是O_(2)的解离,Pd对O_(2)较弱的解离能力导致了其NO的转化效率低于Pt.氧覆盖度对氧化过程存在影响,通过电子结构分析发现,氧覆盖度的提升使催化剂与吸附物质之间的吸附能下降,这导致了反应由吸热变为放热,使催化可以自发进行.反应生成的NO_(2)需要1.00 eV以上的能量完成脱附,这在原子层面解释了NO_(2)对NO氧化反应的抑制作用.

SnCl_(2)促进的Pt1/PS-PPh_(2)催化剂高选择性催化高碳烯烃氢甲酰化反应

氢甲酰化作为工业上制备醛、醇等含氧化合物的重要反应,广泛应用于制备洗涤剂、增塑剂、表面活性剂和香料等.目前,氢甲酰化反应主要使用HCo(CO)4,HCo(CO)3(PR3)和HRh(CO)(PPh3)2等配合物作为催化剂.尽管Co基催化剂可以将高碳烯烃、内烯烃以及支链烯烃高选择性地转化为直链醛,但其反应条件(5-30 MPa,140-200℃)较苛刻,且容易发生烯烃加氢等副反应.相比之下,Rh催化剂的活性比Co基催化剂高1-2个数量级,且反应条件较为温和.但Rh储量稀少,价格昂贵,而且对于高碳烯烃氢甲酰化反应,Rh催化剂难以分离和循环使用.因此,研究者开展了其他金属催化剂的研究,其中Pt-Sn催化剂因其出色的区域选择性而备受关注.但目前Pt-Sn催化剂多局限于均相催化体系,而且Sn助剂的作用尚不明确.本文采用商业化三苯基膦嫁接的聚苯乙烯小球为载体,通过浸渍法制备了SnCl_(2)-Pt1/PS-PPh_(2)单原子催化剂,考察了其在长链-烯烃氢甲酰化反应中的催化性能,并研究了Sn的促进作用.首先,以1-己烯氢甲酰化为探针反应,对催化剂的组成以及反应条件进行了优化.当Pt/P/Sn=1/2/5时,催化剂表现出最高的催化活性,在90-120℃和4-6 MPa合成气条件下,催化剂转化频率(TOF)为40 h^(-1),产物醛的正异比>42.随后,考察了催化剂的底物适用性.结果表明,C6-C12的高碳烯烃均可被高选择性地转化为相应的醛(正异比>20).然而,在循环使用实验中,由于SnCl_(2)不能稳定锚定在载体上,第二次循环时催化活性降低.但通过补加SnCl_(2),催化活性可以完全恢复.高压热过滤实验及元素检测结果表明,反应过程中Pt没有流失.X射线吸收光谱(XAFS)表征结果表明,反应后Pt仍以单原子形式存在,说明Pt1/PS-PPh_(2)具有良好的稳定性.通过准原位X-射线吸收谱、Mössbauer谱和红外光谱表征对反应过程中Pt和Sn的电子性质和配位结构进行了研究.结果表明,SnCl_(2)在反应过程中逐渐转化为Sn(dioxane)Cl3-物种(1,4-二氧六环为反应溶剂),并与Pt原子形成Pt-Sn键.当反应体系中没有Sn时,Pt(II)会被合成气过度还原并发生团聚.当没有膦配体时,Pt原子也会发生聚集,而且SnCl_(2)会在Pt(II)的催化作用下发生水解生成SnO.因此Sn(dioxane)Cl3-与膦配体共同抑制了Pt(I)在反应过程中的还原与聚集.最后,通过XAFS表征深入研究了反应机理.分析结果表明,CO在催化剂上具有较强的吸附作用,而H_(2)则可能以异裂的方式在催化剂上被活化.据此提出可能的反应机理:首先,H_(2)在催化剂上活化先形成Pt-H物种;随后,烯烃插入Pt-H,形成Pt-烷基物种;接着,CO迁移并插入,生成Pt-酰基物种;最后,经过还原消除步骤,得到最终的产物醛.综上,本文制备了一种对高碳烯烃氢甲酰化反应具有良好催化性能的SnCl_(2)-Pt1/PS-PPh_(2)单原子催化剂,为低成本非Rh基催化剂的开发提供借鉴.同时,揭示了催化体系中Sn的促进作用,为通过Lewis酸来调控催化剂的性能提供了参考.

Pt-Ga/CeO_(2)-ZrO_(2)-Al_(2)O_(3)脱氢裂解双功能催化剂用于正丁烷催化制烯烃研究

正丁烷分子结构相对稳定,C-C键键能较高,难以有效利用,目前大部分作为低价值燃料,通过脱氢、裂解等反应将正丁烷转化为高附加值的轻烯烃研究具有重要的科学意义。采用分步浸渍法将Pt和Ga负载到CeO_(2)-ZrO_(2)-Al_(2)O_(3)(CZA)载体制备PtGa/CZA催化剂,将Pt-Ga_(2)O_(3)引入作为脱氢位点进行脱氢反应(C4H10→C=4),CZA作为酸位点进行裂解反应(C=4→C=3,C=2),同时PtGa与CZA协同提高表面吸附氧含量降低正丁烷活化温度。结果表明,与负载单Pt或Ga催化剂相比,将Pt和Ga同时负载到CZA载体上,可极大提高反应的转化率和选择性,在500℃时,PtGa/CZA催化剂的正丁烷转化率为64.3%,比Pt/CZA和Ga/CZA催化剂分别高55.9%和53.9%,三者轻烯烃选择性均在95%以上。将PtGa/CZA催化剂制成涂层催化剂,提高了正丁烷转化率和催化剂稳定性。PtGa/CZA催化剂优异的活性归因于较低的Ce^(4+)还原温度和表面吸附氧脱附温度、较多的表面吸附氧位点含量和强酸位点含量。
