Structures and Properties of La_(0.8)Sr_(0.2)MnO_(3+σ)^(-z) SBA-15(z=0, 1, 2, 4) Perovskite Catalysts

Mesoporous La0.8Sr0.2MnO3＋σ/z SBA-15（z = 1, 2, 4） perovskite oxides were synthesized via hard-templating with ordered mesoporous silica SBA-15 as the template. The as-prepared samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, AFM, BET, and XPS and the catalytic activity was tested for CO oxidation. The wide-angle XRD patterns showed that La0.8Sr0.2MnO3＋σ perovskite was formed. The SEM and AFM analyses exhibited that La0.8Sr0.2MnO3＋σ by hard-templating method had much smaller particle size（18 nm） than that（40 nm） by the sol-gel method. The perovskite-type oxides La0.8Sr0.2MnO3＋σ/z SBA-15（z = 1, 2, 4） also displayed a higher BET surface area from 70 to 143.7 m^2/g and a disordered mesostructure from nitrogen sorption analysis, as well as a small-angle XRD pattern. Moreover, the La0.8Sr0.2MnO3＋σ/z SBA-15（z = 1, 2, 4） perovskite exhibited a much higher activity in CO oxidation than the conventional La0.8Sr0.2MnO3＋σ perovskite. Further analysis by the means of XPS techniques indicated that the existence of high content of Oads/Olatt species contributed to the high activity.

Simultaneous catalytic removal of NOx and diesel soot particulate over perovskite-type oxides and supported Ag catalysts

A series of perovskite type oxides and supported Ag catalysts were prepared, and characterized by X ray diffraction (XRD) and X ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The catalytic activities of the catalysts as well as influencing factors on catalytic activity have been investigated for the simultaneous removal of NOx and diesel soot particulate. An increase in catalytic activity for the selective reduction of NOx was observed with Ag addition in these perovskite oxides, especially with 5% Ag loading. This catalyst could be a promising candidate of catalytic material for the simultaneous elimination of NOx and diesel soot.

La_(1-x)Ca_xMn_(1-y)Al_yO_3 perovskites as efficient catalysts for two-step thermochemical water splitting in conjunction with exceptional hydrogen yields

Solar‐driven thermochemical water splitting represents one efficient route to the generation of H2as a clean and renewable fuel.Due to their outstanding catalytic abilities and promising solar fuel production capacities,perovskite‐type redox catalysts have attracted significant attention in this regard.In the present study,the perovskite series La1‐xCaxMn1‐yAlyO3(x,y=0.2,0.4,0.6,or0.8)was fabricated using a modified Pechini method and comprehensively investigated to determine the applicability of these materials to solar H2production via two‐step thermochemical water splitting.The thermochemical redox behaviors of these perovskites were optimized by doping at either the A(Ca)or B(Al)sites over a broad range of substitution values,from0.2to0.8.Through this doping,a highly efficient perovskite(La0.6Ca0.4Mn0.6Al0.4O3)was developed,which yielded a remarkable H2production rate of429μmol/g during two‐step thermochemical H2O splitting,going between1400and1000°C.Moreover,the performance of the optimized perovskite was found to be eight times higher than that of the benchmark catalyst CeO2under the same experimental conditions.Furthermore,these perovskites also showed impressive catalytic stability during two‐step thermochemical cycling tests.These newly developed La1‐xCaxMn1‐yAlyO3redox catalysts appear to have great potential for future practical applications in thermochemical solar fuel production.

The utilization of perovskite oxide materials as catalysts for the photodegradation of organic pollutants in water is a promising and rapidly advancing field.In this study,a series of La_(1−x)Ba_(x)CoO_(3)(x=0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6)catalysts with varying Ba doping ratios were synthesized using the citric acid complexation-hydrothermal synthesis combined method for the degradation of phenol under visible light irradiation.Among the synthesized catalysts,La_(0.5)Ba_(0.5)CoO_(3) exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity.In addition,the photocatalytic mechanism for La_(0.5)Ba_(0.5)CoO_(3) perovskite degradation of phenol was also discussed.The synthesized catalysts were characterized using XRD,SEM,FT-IR,XPS,MPMS and other characterization techniques.The results revealed that the diffraction peak intensity of La_(1−x)Ba_(x)CoO_(3) increased with higher Ba doping ratios,and the La_(0.4)Ba_(0.6)CoO_(3) exhibited the strongest diffraction peaks.The catalyst particle sizes ranged from 10 to 50 nm,and the specific surface area decreased with increasing Ba content.Additionally,the paramagnetic properties of La_(0.5)Ba_(0.5)CoO_(3) were similar to that of La_(0.4)Ba_(0.6)CoO_(3).The experimental results suggested that the incorporation of Ba could significantly improve the catalytic performance of La_(1−x)Ba_(x)CoO_(3) perovskites,promote electron transfer and favor to the generation of hydroxyl radicals(•OH),leading to the efficiently degradation of phenol.

Selective Oxidation of Light Hydrocarbons Using Lattice Oxygen Instead of Molecular Oxygen

In this paper, selective oxidation of n-butane to maleic anhydride (MA) and partial oxidation of methane to synthesis gas with lattice oxygen instead of molecular oxygen are investigated. For the oxidation of butane to MA in the absence of molecular oxygen, the Ce-Fe promoted VPO catalyst has more available lattice oxygen and provides higher conversion and selectivity than that of the unpromoted one. It is supposed that the introduction of Ce-Fe complex oxides improves redox performance of VPO catalyst and increases the activity of lattice oxygen. For partial oxidation of methane to synthesis gas over LaFeO3 and La0.8Sr0.2FeO3 oxides, the reaction with flow switched between 11% O2-Ar and 11% CH4-He at 900℃ was carried out. The results show that methane can be oxidized to CO and H2 with selectivity over 93% by the lattice oxygen of the catalyst in an appropriate reaction condition, while the lost lattice oxygen can be supplemented by air re-oxidation. It is viable for the lattice oxygen of the LaFeO3 and La0.8Sr0.2FeO3 catalyst instead of molecular oxygen to react with methane to synthesis gas in the redox mode.

Catalytic Performance of Carbon Smoke over Ag-LSCF Composite Catalysts

To improve the catalytic performance of La_(0.6)Sr_(0.4)Co_(0.2)Fe_(0.8)O_(3)(LSCF)towards carbon soot,we utilized the impregnation method to incorporate Ag into the prepared LSCF catalyst.We conducted a series of characterization tests and evaluated the soot catalytic activity of the composite catalyst by comparing it with the LaCoO_(3) group,LaFeO_(3) group,and catalyst-free group.The results indicate that the Ag-LSCF composite catalyst exhibits the highest soot catalytic activity,with the characteristic temperature values of 376.3,431.1,and 473.9℃at 10%,50%,and 90%carbon soot conversion,respectively.These values are 24.8,20.2,and 23.1℃lower than those of the LSCF group.This also shows that LSCF can improve the catalytic activity of soot after compounding with Ag,and reflects the necessity of using catalysts in soot combustion reaction.XPS characterization and BET test show that Ag-LSCF has more abundant surface-adsorbed oxygen species,larger specific surface area and pore volume than LSCF,which also proves that Ag-LSCF has higher soot catalytic activity.

Heterogeneous catalytic combustion provides a feasible technique for high efficient methane utilization.Perovskites ABO_3-type materials have received renewed attention as a potential alternative for noble metals supported catalysts in catalytic methane combustion due to excellent hydrothermal stability and sulfur resistance.

Photorechargeable Properties of Metal Hydride-SrTiO_3 Electrode

A photosensitive metal hydride electrode was prepared by modification with perovskite-type SrTiO3 photocatalyst. The photorechargeable properties of the prepared electrodes were investigated by using electrochemical cyclic voltammetry and EIS measurements. The results showed that the modified electrode exhibited the obvious photorechargeable properties. The reduction current increased remarkably under the xeon light irradiation compared with the unmodified electrode. During the photocharging process, the potential of the modified electrode shifted quickly to negative direction and a potential plateau of about -0.90V (vs. Hg/HgO) occurred at the end of light irradiation. The corresponding discharge capacity of the electrode was about 5.4 mAh/g.

Effect of calcination process on performance of 3DOM CeMnO3 catalysts

A series of 3DOM CeMnO3 perovskite catalysts were prepared by poly(methyl methacrylate)hardtemplating-excessive impregnation method at calcination temperature of x℃(x=600,700,800)and the heating rate of y℃/min(y=1,2,5,10).The samples were characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method,scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,H2-temperature programmed reduction,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,X-ray diffraction,moreover,the effect of the calcination process on the catalytic activity of the samples were discussed by the catalytic combustion of toluene.The results show that the 3DOM CeMnO3 catalysts calcined at 600℃promote the formation of a perovskite structure,inhibit the reduction of the Mn4+species in the catalyst with high temperature.The catalyst expresses the complete macroporous structure,large specific surface area(38.8 m^(2)/g),higher adsorption oxygen concentration and Mn4+substance concentration,with a low T90%=172℃.By preparing the catalysts at different calcination heating rates,it can be concluded that the catalyst possesses a high concentration of adsorbed oxygen and a low reduction temperature and a large specific surface area(40.42 m^(2)/g)greatly promotes adsorption stage catalytic oxidation reaction and catalytic combustion of toluene at low temperature under the heating rate of 5℃/min.When the heating rate is 1℃/min,the catalyst has a complete macroporous structure(>250 nm),which is beneficial to the exchange of macromolecular substances during the catalytic reaction and the catalyst has a high concentration of lattice oxygen suitable for the catalysis of toluene in high temperature flue gas combustion.
