The structural, morphological features and catalytic activity were observed by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and GC-TCD (Varian CP-4900). The catalytic performance of noble metals (Pt, Rh, Pd) supported on Cu-Ce mixed oxides with γ-Al2O3 washcoat/FeCrAl substrate was be compared with noble metals (Pt, Rh, Pd) supported on Ce-Zr mixed oxides with γ-Al2O3 washcoat/FeCrAl substrate and only γ-Al2O3 washcoat/FeCrAl substrate at various stoichiometric ratio of oxygen.

The results showed that redox performances of ceria-based materials could be enhanced by synergetic effects between Mn-O and Ce-O. Fresh and aged samples were characterized with the fluorite-type cubic structure similar to CeO2, and furthermore, the thermal stability of Mn0.1Ce0.9Ox materials was improved by the introduction of some Zr atoms. From XPS, it could be concluded that Mn^2+/Mn^3+ redox couples existed on the surface of Mn0.1Ce0.9Ox and Mn0.1Ce0.6Zr0.3Ox samples. Electron paramagnetic resonance researches revealed that there were three types of Mn^2+ species: isolated Mn^2+ substituting for Ce^4+ ions in the lattice with a cubic symmetry, ones in defect with a noncubic symmetry, and at the surface of samples.展开更多

The results show that the light-off temperatures of hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides of the fresh catalysts slightly differ from those of the aged catalysts, and the catalysts containing CeO2-ZrO2-BaO have lower lightoff temperature and better catalytic activity than these containing BaO and CeO2-ZrO2 after hydrothermal aging for 5 h at 1000 ℃. The catalysts were characterized by means of the temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) in hydrogen and the temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) in oxygen. It is confirmed that the suggested route of CeO2-ZrO2-BaO by coprecipitation can improve the catalytic activity of catalysts.展开更多

BET surface areas analysis indicated that an increase of the dopant Tb content from x = 0.05 to x = 0.15 favors an increase of surface area from 66.8 to 80.4 m^2· g^-1 compared with the undoped sample Ce0 .6oZr0.40O2 65.1 m^2·g^- 1 after calcination at 650℃. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation indicated that the doped samples have a higher thermal stability. The XRD and Raman spectra confirmed that the Ce0.6Zr0.4-xTbxO2-y cubic solid solution is formed. XPS analysis revealed that Ce and Tb mainly existed in the form of Ce^4+ and Tb^3 + , and Zr existed in the form of Zr^4+ on the surface of the samples. The doped samples were homogenous in composition ; the introduction of Tb into the CeO2-ZrO2 promoters resuited in the formation of a solid solution, and the concentration of surface lattice oxygen was increased.展开更多

High thermal stability of the textural properties is one of the most important requirements for practical application since temperatures up to 1273 K are easily experienced by these materials under real working conditions. In the present paper, we investigated how hydrothermal treatments applied to cakes of doped and undoped ZrO2-rich CeO2-ZrO2 precursors might improve the thermal stability of the final CeO2-ZrO2 solid solution. A rationale was developed that allowed to correlate the morphology of the hydrothermaUy treated cake with the thermal stability at 1273 K of the final product, which did not depend on the composition of the mixed oxides.展开更多

They were characterized by X-ray diffTaction (XRD), low temperature nitrogen adsorption-desorption, oxygen pulsing technique, H2-temperamre programmed reduction (H2-TPR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The Pd-only three-way catalysts (Pd-TWC) supported on these materials were prepared by incipient wetness method and studied by activity tests. The results demonstrated that the CZAN supports obtained by the two methods showed better structural, textural and redox properties than the CZA without Nd2O3, and the addition of Nd203 improved the catalytic activity of TWC. Especially, the CZAN-i support prepared by impregnation method had better thermal stability and redox property. Meanwhile, the Pd/CZAN-i catalyst exhibited the best catalytic performance. XPS measurements indicated that the Nd-modified samples possessed more Ce3+ and oxygen vacancies on the surface of samples, which led to a better redox property. The excellent redox property of support materials helped to improve the catalytic activity of TWC.展开更多

The as-prepared catalysts were characterized by N_2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction(XRD), CO-chemisorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction(H_2-TPR). The preformed Pt nanoparticles generated using ethanol as a reducing agent on M-DS presented enhanced Pt dispersion regardless of aging treatment as confirmed by XRD and CO-chemisorption measurements. The textural properties and reduction ability of M-DS were maintained to a large extent after aging treatment. This result was consistent with those of the N_2 adsorption-desorption and H_2-TPR, respectively. Meanwhile, the XPS analysis demonstrated that higher Pt^0 species and larger Ce^(3+) concentration could be obtained for M-DS. In the conversion of a simulated compressed natural gas(CNG) vehicle exhaust, both fresh and aged M-DS showed a significant enhancement in the activity and N_2-selectivity. Particularly, the complete conversion temperature(T_(90)) of CH_4 over the aged M-DS catalyst was 65 oC lower than that over the aged catalyst by conventional double-solvent method.展开更多

文摘A series of Pt-Pd bimetallic catalysts supported on CeO_(2)-ZrO_(2)-La_(2)O_(3) mixed oxides were synthesized through the conventional impregnation method.Three-way catalytic performance evaluations along with detailed physio-chemical characterizations were carried out to establish possible structure-activity correlations.Results show that on the one hand,different Pt/Pd ratios can strongly affect the TWC behaviors of Pt-Pd/CZL catalysts by modulating the synergistic effect between Pt and Pd.On the other hand,higher Pt/Pd ratio also favors better dispersion of precious metals.Such improved precious metals(PM)dispersion can promote the metal-support interaction and increase the surface oxygen vacancies concentration,thereby raising the dynamic oxygen storage/release capacity,improving the redox ability as well as enha ncing the thermal stability of the Pt-Pd/CZL catalyst.Moreover,the stro ng metal-support interaction can augment surface oxygen vacancy concentration,thereby benefiting low temperature CO and NO reaction via augmented NOxadsorption and nitrate conversion.

文摘Mn0.1Ce0.9Ox and Mn0.1Ce0.6Zr0.30x samples synthesized by sol-gel method were tested for redox properties through the dynamic oxygen storage measurement and characterized using X-ray diffraction, BET, electron paramagnetic resonance, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results showed that redox performances of ceria-based materials could be enhanced by synergetic effects between Mn-O and Ce-O. Fresh and aged samples were characterized with the fluorite-type cubic structure similar to CeO2, and furthermore, the thermal stability of Mn0.1Ce0.9Ox materials was improved by the introduction of some Zr atoms. From XPS, it could be concluded that Mn^2+/Mn^3+ redox couples existed on the surface of Mn0.1Ce0.9Ox and Mn0.1Ce0.6Zr0.3Ox samples. Electron paramagnetic resonance researches revealed that there were three types of Mn^2+ species: isolated Mn^2+ substituting for Ce^4+ ions in the lattice with a cubic symmetry, ones in defect with a noncubic symmetry, and at the surface of samples.

文摘The effects of BaO doping on the three-way catalytic activity of Pt-Rh catalyst and on water-gas shift were investigated. The results show that the light-off temperatures of hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides of the fresh catalysts slightly differ from those of the aged catalysts, and the catalysts containing CeO2-ZrO2-BaO have lower lightoff temperature and better catalytic activity than these containing BaO and CeO2-ZrO2 after hydrothermal aging for 5 h at 1000 ℃. The catalysts were characterized by means of the temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) in hydrogen and the temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) in oxygen. It is confirmed that the suggested route of CeO2-ZrO2-BaO by coprecipitation can improve the catalytic activity of catalysts.

文摘In the purification process of automobile exhaust,existing water plays an important role as an oxidant,which converts CO and hydrocarbons(HCs) by the water-gas shift(WGS) and the steam reforming(SR) reactions,respectively,especially at high temperatures.Meanwhile it is major component of the exhaust which can affect significantly the thermal stability of the three-way catalyst.Activity experiments were carried out close to the real operation conditions(GHSV,concentration,etc.) with a Pd/Ce0.67Zr0.33O2 catalyst supplying information on the CO and C3H8 oxidation reactions in feedstream formed by different reactant combinations.The obtained results showed that the activity of the CO and C3H8 oxidation was promoted by the addition of steam due to the WGS and SR reactions.The WGS and SR reaction were competitive under oxygen-lean conditions.The kinetic analysis was considered for WGS and SR reactions.

文摘The three-way catalysts (TWCs) promoters Ce0.6Zr0.4- x TbxO2-y were prepared by sol-gel method. BET surface areas analysis indicated that an increase of the dopant Tb content from x = 0.05 to x = 0.15 favors an increase of surface area from 66.8 to 80.4 m^2· g^-1 compared with the undoped sample Ce0 .6oZr0.40O2 65.1 m^2·g^- 1 after calcination at 650℃. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation indicated that the doped samples have a higher thermal stability. The XRD and Raman spectra confirmed that the Ce0.6Zr0.4-xTbxO2-y cubic solid solution is formed. XPS analysis revealed that Ce and Tb mainly existed in the form of Ce^4+ and Tb^3 + , and Zr existed in the form of Zr^4+ on the surface of the samples. The doped samples were homogenous in composition ; the introduction of Tb into the CeO2-ZrO2 promoters resuited in the formation of a solid solution, and the concentration of surface lattice oxygen was increased.

文摘CeO2-ZeO2 solid solutions are extensively used as oxygen storage promoters in the current automotive three-way catalysts. High thermal stability of the textural properties is one of the most important requirements for practical application since temperatures up to 1273 K are easily experienced by these materials under real working conditions. In the present paper, we investigated how hydrothermal treatments applied to cakes of doped and undoped ZrO2-rich CeO2-ZrO2 precursors might improve the thermal stability of the final CeO2-ZrO2 solid solution. A rationale was developed that allowed to correlate the morphology of the hydrothermaUy treated cake with the thermal stability at 1273 K of the final product, which did not depend on the composition of the mixed oxides.

文摘Ce-Zr-Al-Nd2O3 (CZAN) support materials were prepared by co-precipitation and impregnation methods, respectively. They were characterized by X-ray diffTaction (XRD), low temperature nitrogen adsorption-desorption, oxygen pulsing technique, H2-temperamre programmed reduction (H2-TPR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The Pd-only three-way catalysts (Pd-TWC) supported on these materials were prepared by incipient wetness method and studied by activity tests. The results demonstrated that the CZAN supports obtained by the two methods showed better structural, textural and redox properties than the CZA without Nd2O3, and the addition of Nd203 improved the catalytic activity of TWC. Especially, the CZAN-i support prepared by impregnation method had better thermal stability and redox property. Meanwhile, the Pd/CZAN-i catalyst exhibited the best catalytic performance. XPS measurements indicated that the Nd-modified samples possessed more Ce3+ and oxygen vacancies on the surface of samples, which led to a better redox property. The excellent redox property of support materials helped to improve the catalytic activity of TWC.

文摘A Pt-Rh three-way catalyst(M-DS) supported on CeO_2-ZrO_2-La_2O_3-Nd_2O_3 and its analogous supported catalyst(DS) were developed via a modified double-solvent method and conventional double-solvent method, respectively. The as-prepared catalysts were characterized by N_2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction(XRD), CO-chemisorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction(H_2-TPR). The preformed Pt nanoparticles generated using ethanol as a reducing agent on M-DS presented enhanced Pt dispersion regardless of aging treatment as confirmed by XRD and CO-chemisorption measurements. The textural properties and reduction ability of M-DS were maintained to a large extent after aging treatment. This result was consistent with those of the N_2 adsorption-desorption and H_2-TPR, respectively. Meanwhile, the XPS analysis demonstrated that higher Pt^0 species and larger Ce^(3+) concentration could be obtained for M-DS. In the conversion of a simulated compressed natural gas(CNG) vehicle exhaust, both fresh and aged M-DS showed a significant enhancement in the activity and N_2-selectivity. Particularly, the complete conversion temperature(T_(90)) of CH_4 over the aged M-DS catalyst was 65 oC lower than that over the aged catalyst by conventional double-solvent method.

文摘The interactions between metals and oxide supports,so-called metal-support interactions(MSI),are of great importance in heterogeneous catalysis.Pd-based automotive exhaust control catalysts,especially Pd-based three-way catalysts (TWCs),have received considerable research attention owing to its prominent oxidation activity of HCs/CO,as well as excellent thermal stability.For Pd-based TWCs,the dispersion,chemical state and thermal stability of Pd species,which are crucial to the catalytic performance,are closely associated with interactions between metal nanoparticles and their supporting matrix.Progress on the research about MSI and utilization of MSI in advanced Pd-based three-way catalysts are reviewed here.Along with the development of advanced synthesis approaches and engine control technology,the study on MSI would play a notable role in further development of catalysts for automobile exhaust control.

文摘Ceria-zirconia based(CZ) materials are still a crucial component of three-way catalysts(TWCs) now.Compared with traditional cubic or tetragonal phase,CZ material with pyrochlore-type κ-Ce_(2)Zr_(2)O_(8) phase shows an excellent oxygen storage capacity,and thus is examined as a promising material for developing TWCs.Considering the remarkable surface Ce/Zr ratio change during the κ-Ce_(2)Zr_(2)O_(8) formation,we investigated the effects of surface Ce/Zr ratio on the formation of κ-Ce_(2)Zr_(2)O_(8) and on the supported Pdonly three-way catalysts.Raman and transmission electron microscopy(TEM) results demonstrate that partial κ-Ce_(2)Zr_(2)O_(8) structure is formed in the three oxides,and the content of κ-Ce_(2)Zr_(2)O_(8) structure increases with increasing surface Ce/Zr ratio,but its stability declines.After thermal aging,the proportions of Ce^(3+) and oxidized palladium(Pd^(δ+)+Pd^(2+)) in the catalysts,which are shown to be positively correlated with catalytic activity,follow the same sequence as the stability of κ-Ce_(2)Zr_(2)O_(8),namely Pd/M0.33 ROa> Pd/M0.4 ROa> Pd/CeM0.33 ROa.In particular,Pd/M0.33 RO,which possesses 100%((Pd^(δ+)+Pd^(2+))/Pd) even after thermal aging at 900℃ for 4 h,owing to the strengthened metal-support interaction by the presence of stable κ-Ce_(2)Zr_(2)O_(8),shows the best catalytic performance.This work is instructive to the application of κ-Ce_(2)Zr_(2)O_(8) in three-way catalysis.

文摘A series of three-way catalysts (TWCs),containing a small amount of precious metals (PMs,including Pt,Pd and Rh) and a large amount of promoters CeO2 and La2O3,were prepared with different precursor compounds and various doped manners.Crystal phases,dispersion of cerium and lanthanum,textural structure and thermal stability of the catalysts were investigated by XRD,XPS and pore parameters determination.The catalytic performance was studied by the measurements of CO,C3H6 and NO conversions on dependence of temperature at stoichimetric number point (S=1.00),and from S=0.75 to 1.30 at 280℃ or 340℃ for fresh or aged samples,respectively.The correlation between the catalytic performance and the characteristics of fresh and aged samples were discussed.The results show that the sample,in which CeO2 and La2O3 are doped with mixed oxide powders,possesses poor dispersion and less thermal stability,and the conversions of NO and C3H6 are apparently lower than those of the samples aged at 850℃ The main reason is due to the lanthanum enrichment on the surface.The precious metals and cerium may be covered and enveloped,and the PMs located on the internal microporous surface where no cerium and lanthanum exist,are easier to sinter and oxidize.For the sample doped with La(NO3)3 and Ce(NO3)3 aqueous solutions,high dispersion and thermal stable CeO2 La2O3 solid solution on all the surface of microporous γ-Al2O3 is identified.The solid solution CeO2-La2O3 also possessed high dispersion in the sample doped with La2O3 powder and Ce(NO3)3 aqueous solution.The last two aged samples keep higher NO conversion at S≥1 region.

文摘The effect of Co doping on ceria-zirconia mixed oxides was investigated for Co0.1Ce0.6Zr0.3Ox sample prepared by sol-gel method. The Pd-only three-way catalyst (TWC) was obtained by incipient wetness impregnation with 0.5 wt.% Pd loading. The structural and oxygen handling properties were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), H2-temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR) and the dynamic oxygen storage capacity (DOSC). The introduction of Co into ceria-zirconia lattice strongly modified the mobility of oxygen and enhanced the DOSC performance. Pd-only TWC based on the Co0.1Ce0.6Zr0.3Ox support exhibited superior activity for water-gas shift and steam reforming and ampli- fied amplitude of stoichiometric window.
