Their structures were characterized by complimentary means such as X-ray diffraction, Raman, scanning trans- mission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). These Au catalysts possessed similar sizes and crystalline phases of Cel_xZrzO2 supports as well as similar sizes and oxidation states of Au nanoparticles. The oxidation state of Au nanoparticles was dominated by Au~ especially in CO oxidation. Their activities were examined in CO oxidation at different temperatures in the range of 303-333 K. The CO oxidation rates normalized per Au atoms increased with the increasing Ce contents, and reached the maximum value over Au/CeO2. Such change was in parallel with the change in the oxygen storage capacity values, i.e. the amounts of active oxygen species on Au/Cel_zZrzO2 catalysts. The excellent correlation between the two properties of the catalysts suggests that the intrinsic support effects on the CO oxidation rates is related to the effects on the adsorption and activation of O2 on Au/Cel_xZrxO2 catalysts. Such understanding on the support effects may be useful for designing more active Au catalysts, for example, by tuning the redox properties of oxide supports.展开更多

Supported Ni catalysts of ~10 wt% were prepared by impregnation of carbon nanofibers(CNF),Zr O2, SiC, γ-Al2O3 and α-Al2O3. The extent of the Ni nanoparticle growth on various support materials follows the order CNF ~ ZrO2〉 SiC 〉 γ-Al2O3〉〉 α-Al2O3 which sequence, however, was determined by the initial Ni particle size. Based on the observed nickel leaching and the specific growth characteristics; the particle size distribution and the effect of loading on the growth rate, Ostwald ripening is suggested to be the main mechanism contributing to nickel particle growth. Remarkably, initially smaller Ni particles(~12 nm) supported on α-Al2O3 were found to outgrow Ni particles with initially larger size(~20 nm). It is put forward that the higher susceptibility with respect to oxidation of the smaller Ni nanoparticles and differences in initial particle size distribution are responsible for this behavior.展开更多

However, poor selectivity and short ...Selective hydrogenation is an important industrial catalytic process in chemical upgrading, where Pd-based catalysts are widely used because of their high hydrogenation activities. However, poor selectivity and short catalyst lifetime because of heavy coke formation have been major concerns. In this work, atomically dispersed Pd atoms were successfully synthesized on graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) using atomic layer deposition. Aberration-corrected high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) confirmed the dominant presence of isolated Pd atoms without Pd nanoparticle (NP) formation. During selective hydrogenation of acetylene in excess ethylene, the g-C3N4-supported Pd NP catalysts had strikingly higher ethylene selectivities than the conventional Pd/Al2O3 and Pd/SiO2 catalysts. In-situ X-ray photoemission spectroscopy revealed that the considerable charge transfer from the Pd NPs to g-C3N4 likely plays an important role in the catalytic performance enhancement. More impressively, the single-atom Pd1/C3N4 catalyst exhibited both higher ethylene selectivity and higher coking resistance. Our work demonstrates that the single-atom Pd catalyst is a promising candidate for improving both selectivity and coking-resistance in hydrogenation reactions.展开更多

With an analysis of various impacts on support system, the spares demand rate forecast model is constructed. According to systemic analysis method, spares support effectiveness evaluation indicators system is built, and then, initial spares configuration and optimization method is researched. To the issue of discarding and con-sumption for incomplete repairable items, its expected backorders function is approximated by Laplace demand distribution. Combining the (s-1, s) and (R, Q) inventory policy, the spares resup-ply model is established under the batch ordering policy based on inventory state, and the optimi-zation analysis flow for spares configuration is proposed. Through application on shipborne equipment spares configuration, the given scenarios are analyzed under two constraint targets:one is the support effectiveness, and the other is the spares cost. Analysis reveals that the result is consistent with practical regulation;therefore, the model's correctness, method's validity as well as optimization project's rationality are proved to a certain extent.展开更多

Their structures were characterized by complimentary means such as X-ray diffraction, Raman, scanning trans- mission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). These Au catalysts possessed similar sizes and crystalline phases of Cel_xZrzO2 supports as well as similar sizes and oxidation states of Au nanoparticles. The oxidation state of Au nanoparticles was dominated by Au~ especially in CO oxidation. Their activities were examined in CO oxidation at different temperatures in the range of 303-333 K.

Such change was in parallel with the change in the oxygen storage capacity values, i.e. the amounts of active oxygen species on Au/Cel_zZrzO2 catalysts. The excellent correlation between the two properties of the catalysts suggests that the intrinsic support effects on the CO oxidation rates is related to the effects on the adsorption and activation of O2 on Au/Cel_xZrxO2 catalysts. Such understanding on the support effects may be useful for designing more active Au catalysts, for example, by tuning the redox properties of oxide supports.

文摘The deactivation behavior by crystallite growth of nickel nanoparticles on various supports(carbon nanofibers, zirconia, Si C, α-Al2O3 and γ-Al2O3) was investigated in the aqueous phase reforming of ethylene glycol. Supported Ni catalysts of ~10 wt% were prepared by impregnation of carbon nanofibers(CNF),Zr O2, SiC, γ-Al2O3 and α-Al2O3. The extent of the Ni nanoparticle growth on various support materials follows the order CNF ~ ZrO2〉 SiC 〉 γ-Al2O3〉〉 α-Al2O3 which sequence, however, was determined by the initial Ni particle size. Based on the observed nickel leaching and the specific growth characteristics; the particle size distribution and the effect of loading on the growth rate, Ostwald ripening is suggested to be the main mechanism contributing to nickel particle growth. Remarkably, initially smaller Ni particles(~12 nm) supported on α-Al2O3 were found to outgrow Ni particles with initially larger size(~20 nm). It is put forward that the higher susceptibility with respect to oxidation of the smaller Ni nanoparticles and differences in initial particle size distribution are responsible for this behavior.

文摘Metal-based electrocatalysts with different sizes(single atoms,nanoclusters,and nanoparticles)show different catalytic behaviors for various electrocatalytic reactions.Regulating the coordination environment of active sites with precision to rationally design an efficient electrocatalyst is of great significance for boosting electrocatalytic reactions.This review summarizes the recent process of heterogeneous supported single atoms,nanoclusters,and nanoparticles catalysts in electrocatalytic reactions,respectively,and figures out the construct strategies and design concepts based on their strengths and weaknesses.Specifically,four key factors for enhancing electrocatalytic performance,including electronic structure,coordination environment,support property,and interfacial interactions are proposed to provide an overall comprehension to readers in this field.Finally,some insights into the current challenges and future opportunities of the heterogeneous supported electrocatalysts are provided.

文摘Selective hydrogenation is an important industrial catalytic process in chemical upgrading, where Pd-based catalysts are widely used because of their high hydrogenation activities. However, poor selectivity and short catalyst lifetime because of heavy coke formation have been major concerns. In this work, atomically dispersed Pd atoms were successfully synthesized on graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) using atomic layer deposition. Aberration-corrected high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) confirmed the dominant presence of isolated Pd atoms without Pd nanoparticle (NP) formation. During selective hydrogenation of acetylene in excess ethylene, the g-C3N4-supported Pd NP catalysts had strikingly higher ethylene selectivities than the conventional Pd/Al2O3 and Pd/SiO2 catalysts. In-situ X-ray photoemission spectroscopy revealed that the considerable charge transfer from the Pd NPs to g-C3N4 likely plays an important role in the catalytic performance enhancement. More impressively, the single-atom Pd1/C3N4 catalyst exhibited both higher ethylene selectivity and higher coking resistance. Our work demonstrates that the single-atom Pd catalyst is a promising candidate for improving both selectivity and coking-resistance in hydrogenation reactions.

文摘Rational planning of spares configuration project is an effective approach to improve equipment availability as well as reduce life cycle cost (LCC). With an analysis of various impacts on support system, the spares demand rate forecast model is constructed. According to systemic analysis method, spares support effectiveness evaluation indicators system is built, and then, initial spares configuration and optimization method is researched. To the issue of discarding and con-sumption for incomplete repairable items, its expected backorders function is approximated by Laplace demand distribution. Combining the (s-1, s) and (R, Q) inventory policy, the spares resup-ply model is established under the batch ordering policy based on inventory state, and the optimi-zation analysis flow for spares configuration is proposed. Through application on shipborne equipment spares configuration, the given scenarios are analyzed under two constraint targets:one is the support effectiveness, and the other is the spares cost. Analysis reveals that the result is consistent with practical regulation;therefore, the model's correctness, method's validity as well as optimization project's rationality are proved to a certain extent.

文摘Au nanoparticles epitaxially grown on Fe_(3)O_(4)in Au(6.7 nm)-Fe_(3)O_(4)dumbbell nanoparticles exhibit excellent stability against sintering,but display negligible catalytic activity in CO oxidation.Starting from various supported Au(6.7 nm)-Fe_(3)O_(4)catalysts prepared by the colloidal deposition method,we have unambiguously identifi ed the significance of the Au-TiO_(2)interface in CO oxidation,without any possible size effect of Au.In situ thermal decomposition of TiO_(2)precursors on Au-Fe_(3)O_(4)was found to be an effective way to increase the Au-TiO_(2)interface and thereby optimize the catalytic performance of TiO_(2)-supported Au-Fe_(3)O_(4)dumbbell nanoparticles.By reducing the size of Fe_(3)O_(4)from 15.2 to 4.9 nm,the Au-TiO_(2)contact was further increased so that the resulting TiO_(2)-supported Au(6.7 nm)-Fe_(3)O_(4)(4.9 nm)dumbbell particles become highly efficient catalysts for CO oxidation at room temperature.

文摘Tailoring the reaction kinetics is the central theme of designer electrocatalysts,which enables the selective conversion of abundant and inert atmospheric species into useful products.Here we show a supporting effect in tuning the electrocatalytic kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)from four-electron to two-electron mechanism by docking metalloporphyrin-based metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)crystals on graphene support,leading to highly selective peroxide production with faradaic efficiency as high as 93.4%.A magic angle of 38.1°tilting for the co-facial alignment was uncovered by electron diffraction tomography,which is attributed to the maximization of n-n interaction for mitigating the lattice and symmetry mismatch between MOF and graphene.The facilitated electron migration and oxygen chemisorption could be ascribed to the supportive effect of graphene that disperses of the electron state of the active center,and ultimately regulates rate-determining step.
文摘SiO2,α-Al2O3,γ-Al2O3,ZrO2 and CeO2 were used as supports and Ag as promoter to study their effects on Pd catalysts for selective hydrogenation of acetylene.The catalysts were prepared by impregnated synthesis and characterized by XRD,BET and TEM.The catalytic reaction was carried out in a fixed-bed reactor.Overall,the low specific surface area supports were better to increase the ethylene selectivity at high conversion rate of acetylene.Among the four Pd catalysts on low specific surface area supports,the catalyst on low specific surface area SiO2(LSA-SiO2) retained a high ethylene selectivity even at complete conversion,while the other catalysts showed significant decrease in the selectivity at complete conversion.The performance of Pd/LSA-SiO2 was important to decrease the loss of ethylene in selective hydrogenation of trace acetylene in ethylene.Addition of Ag to Pd/LSA-SiO2 significantly decreased the formation of ethane,C4 alkenes and green oil,and improved the ethylene selectivity to 90% when Pd:Ag=1:1 and 1:3(ω).When the ratio of Pd to Ag was above 1,the activity of Pd-Ag bimetallic catalyst was similar to that of Pd monometallic catalyst,and the selectivity of ethylene increased with increasing of amount of Ag.When the ratio of Pd to Ag was below 1,the activity of bimetallic catalyst decreased with increasing of amount of Ag,while the selectivity of ethylene was kept unchanged.The optimum temperature was 200-230℃ for 0.02%(ω)Pd-0.02%(ω)Ag/LSA-SiO2 to give a high ethylene selectivity and low formation of green oil.
