Supercritical water syntheses of transition metal-doped CeO_2 nano-catalysts for selective catalytic reduction of NO by CO:An in situ diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy study

In the present study,we synthesized CeO2 catalysts doped with various transition metals(M=Co,Fe,or Cu)using a supercritical water hydrothermal route,which led to the incorporation of the metal ions in the CeO2 lattice,forming solid solutions.The catalysts were then used for the selective catalytic reduction(SCR)of NO by CO.The Cu‐doped catalyst exhibited the highest SCR activity;it had a T50(i.e.,50%NO conversion)of only 83°C and a T90(i.e.,90%NO conversion)of 126°C.Such an activity was also higher than in many state‐of‐the‐art catalysts.In situ diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy suggested that the MOx‐CeO2 catalysts(M=Co and Fe)mainly followed an Eley‐Rideal reaction mechanism for CO‐SCR.In contrast,a Langmuir‐Hinshelwood SCR reaction mechanism occurred in CuO‐CeO2 owing to the presence of Cu+species,which ensured effective adsorption of CO.This explains why CuO‐CeO2 exhibited the highest activity with regard to the SCR of NO by CO.

Experimental Consideration of Two-Dimensional Fourier Transform Spectroscopy

Two-dimensional Fourier transform(2D FT) spectroscopy is an important technology that developed in recent decades and has many advantages over other ultrafast spectroscopy methods. Although 2D FT spectroscopy provides great opportunities for studying various complex systems, the experimental implementation and theoretical description of 2D FT spectroscopy measurement still face many challenges, which limits their wide application.Recently, the 2D FT spectroscopy reaches maturity due to many new developments which greatly reduces the technical barrier in the experimental implementation of the 2D FT spectrometer. There have been several different approaches developed for the optical design of the 2D FT spectrometer, each with its own advantages and limitations. Thus, a procedure to help an experimentalist to build a 2D FT spectroscopy experimental apparatus is needed.This tutorial review is intending to provide an accessible introduction for a beginner to build a 2D FT spectrometer.

不同溶剂预处理煤在ScCO_(2)作用下的谱学差异及其机制

为了探究溶剂预处理后超临界二氧化碳(ScCO_(2))对煤化学结构的影响,以长治霍尔辛赫贫煤为研究对象,分别用四氢呋喃(THF)、盐酸(HCI)和氢氟酸(HF)对煤样进行预处理,采用傅里叶红外光谱(FTIR)、固体核磁共振(^(13)C-NMR)和X射线衍射(XRD)测试,探讨了ScCO_(2)对预处理煤的化学组成和结构的影响机理。研究表明:①FITR分峰拟合谱图实验曲线基本一致,而各官能团吸收峰位置及峰强度仍出现一定的偏差,酸(HCI、HF)预处理后部分波段脂肪族峰位消失。两类酸预处理顺序不同,对煤中含氧官能团、脂肪结构及芳烃结构作用效果也不相同。HF-HCI处理后芳烃C=C结构和含氧官能团峰强度均增强,而HCI-HF处理后芳烃C=C结构强度减弱,含氧官能团结构峰强度变化不明显。THF预处理后煤样芳烃C=C结构峰强度增强,含氧官能团结构峰强度降低。总体芳烃C=C结构峰强度远大于脂肪族结构和含氧官能团结构的峰强度。②^(13)C-NMR谱中主要官能团谱峰的化学位移出现了一定程度的偏移,芳香碳f_(a)^(B)化学位移向增大的方向偏移。大分子结构参数中,芳香碳含量远大于脂肪碳含量,说明煤大分子结构中芳香碳占主要组成部分。③XRD谱中002峰与101峰衍射强度明显增大,芳香微晶层网面间距d_(002)呈现升高趋势,说明THF、酸(HF、HCI)处理和ScCO_(2)对煤大分子结构产生了一定程度的改造作用,使煤的大分子网络结构变得疏松,进而使微晶结构参数d_(002)整体增大。研究认为,溶剂作用后煤的谱学特征变化不仅与溶剂性质有关,还与无机酸处理顺序有关,由此使得官能团组成和大分子结构不同程度改变,进而影响ScCO_(2)对预处理煤的萃取效果。

Resistance to SO_2 poisoning of V_2O_5/TiO_2-PILC catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction of NO by NH_3

A titania pillared interlayered clay（Ti-PILC） supported vanadia catalyst（V2O5/TiO2-PILC） was prepared by wet impregnation for the selective catalytic reduction（SCR） of NO with ammonia. Compared to the traditional V2O5/TiO2 and V2O5-MoO3/TiO2 catalysts, the V2O5/TiO2-PILC catalyst exhibited a higher activity and better SO2 and H2O resistance in the NH3-SCR reaction. Characterization using TPD, in situ DRIFT and XPS showed that surface sulfate and/or sulfite species and ionic SO4^（2-）species were formed on the catalyst in the presence of SO2. The ionic SO4^（2-） species on the catalyst surface was one reason for deactivation of the catalyst in SCR. The formation of the ionic SO4^（2-） species was correlated with the amount of surface adsorbed oxygen species. Less adsorbed oxygen species gave less ionic SO4^（2-） species on the catalyst.

Enhanced plasmonic photocatalysis by SiO_2@Bi microspheres with hot-electron transportation channels via Bi–O–Si linkages

The semimetal Bi has received increasing interest as an alternative to noble metals for use in plasmonic photocatalysis. To enhance the photocatalytic efficiency of metallic Bi, Bi microspheres modified by SiO2 nanoparticles were fabricated by a facile method. Bi-O-Si bonds were formed between Bi and SiO2, and acted as a transportation channel for hot electrons. The SiO2@Bi microspheres exhibited an enhanced plasmon-mediated photocatalytic activity for the removal of NO in air under 280 nm light irradiation, as a result of the enlarged specific surface areas and the promotion of electron transfer via the Bi-O-Si bonds. The reaction mechanism of photocatalytic oxidation of NO by SiO2@Bi was revealed with electron spin resonance and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy experiments, and involved the chain reaction NO -> NO2 -> NO3- with center dot OH and center dot O-2(-) radicals as the main reactive species. The present work could provide new insights into the in-depth mechanistic understanding of Bi plasmonic photocatalysis and the design of high-performance Bi-based photocatalysts.

Microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of CaO-B_2O_3-SiO_2 glass ceramics with various B_2O_3 contents

The effects of B2O3 addition on both the sintering behavior and microwave dielectric properties of CaO-B2O3-SiO2 （CBS） glass ceramics were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR）, X-ray diffractometry （XRD） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. The results show that the increasing amount of B203 causes the increase of the contents of [BO3], [BO4] and [SiO4], which deduces the increase of CaB204 and a-SiO2 and the decrease of CaSiO3 correspondingly. No new phase is observed throughout the entire experiments. A bulk density of 2.54 g/cm3, a thermal expansion coefficient value of 11.95× 10-6 ℃-1 （20-500℃）, a dielectric constant er value of 6.42 and a dielectric loss tanδ value of 0.000 9 （measured at 9.7 GHz） are obtained for CBS glass ceramics containing 35%-B203 （mass fraction） sintered at 850 ℃ for 15 min.

Visible light-enhanced photothermal CO2 hydrogenation over Pt/Al2O3 catalyst

Light illumination has been widely used to promote activity and selectivity of traditional thermal catalysts. Nevertheless, the role of light irradiation during catalytic reactions is not well understood. In this work, Pt/Al2 O3 prepared by wet impregnation was used for photothermal CO2 hydrogenation, and it showed a photothermal effect. Hence, operando diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier-transform spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations were conducted on Pt/Al2 O3 to gain insights into the reaction mechanism. The results indicated that CO desorption from Pt sites including step sites(Ptstep) or/and terrace site(Ptterrace) is an important step during CO2 hydrogenation to free the active Pt sites. Notably, visible light illumination and temperature affected the CO desorption in different ways. The calculated adsorption energy of CO on Ptstep and Ptterrace sites was-1.24 and-1.43 e V, respectively. Hence, CO is more strongly bound to the Ptstep sites. During heating in the dark, CO preferentially desorbs from the Ptterrace site. However, the additional light irradiation facilitates transfer of CO from the Ptstep to Ptterrace sites and its subsequent desorption from the Ptterrace sites, thus promoting the CO2 hydrogenation.

Catalytic performance of highly dispersed WO_3 loaded on CeO_2 in the selective catalytic reduction of NO by NH_3

The influence of tungsten trioxide(WO3)loading on the selective catalytic reduction(SCR)of nitric oxide(NO)by ammonia(NH3)over WO3/cerium dioxide(CeO2)was investigated.The NO conversion first rose and then declined with increasing WO3loading.It was found that the crystalline WO3in the1.6WO3/CeO2sample could be removed in25wt%ammonium hydroxide at70°C,which improved the catalytic activity of the sample.The obtained samples were characterized by X‐ray diffraction,Raman spectroscopy,X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy,hydrogen(H2)temperature programmed reduction,NH3temperature programmed desorption,and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy.The results revealed that the dispersed WO3promoted the catalytic activity of WO3/CeO2while the crystalline WO3inhibited catalytic activity.The oxygen activation of CeO2was inhibited by the coverage of WO3,which weakened NO oxidation and adsorption of nitrate species over WO3/CeO2.In addition,the NH3adsorption performance on CeO2was improved by modification with WO3.NH3was the most stable adsorbed species under NH3SCR reaction conditions.In situ DRIFT spectra suggested that the NH3SCR reaction proceeded via the Eley‐Rideal mechanism over WO3/CeO2.Thus,when the loading of WO3was close to the dispersion capacity,the effects of NH3adsorption and activation were maximized to promote the reaction via the Eley‐Rideal route.

Facile synthesis of Bi_(12)O_(17)Br_2 and Bi_4O_5Br_2 nanosheets:In situ DRIFTS investigation of photocatalytic NO oxidation conversion pathway

Bi12O17Br2and Bi4O5Br2visible‐light driven photocatalysts,were respectively fabricated by hydrothermal and room‐temperature deposition methods with the use of BiBr3and NaOH as precursors.Both Bi12O17Br2and Bi4O5Br2were composed of irregular nanosheets.The Bi4O5Br2nanosheets exhibited high and stable visible‐light photocatalytic efficiency for ppb‐level NO removal.The performance of Bi4O5Br2was markedly higher than that of the Bi12O17Br2nanosheets.The hydroxyl radical(?OH)was determined to be the main reactive oxygen species for the photo‐degradation processes of both Bi12O17Br2and Bi4O5Br2.However,in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy analysis revealed that Bi12O17Br2and Bi4O5Br2featured different conversion pathways for visible light driven photocatalytic NO oxidation.The excellent photocatalytic activity of Bi4O5Br2resulted from a high surface area and large pore volumes,which facilitated the transport of reactants and intermediate products,and provided more active sites for photochemical reaction.Furthermore,the Bi4O5Br2nanosheets produced more?OH and presented stronger valence band holeoxidation.In addition,the oxygen atoms of NO could insert into oxygen‐vacancies of Bi4O5Br2,whichprovided more active sites for the reaction.This work gives insight into the photocatalytic pollutant‐degradation mechanism of bismuth oxyhalide.

Adsorption of NO and NH_3 over CuO/γ-Al_2O_3 catalyst

The selective catalytic reduction reaction belongs to the gas-solid multiphase reaction, and the adsorption of NH3 and NO on CuO/γ-Al2O3 catalysts plays an important role in the reaction. Performance of the CuO/γ-Al2O3 catalysts was explored in a fixed bed adsorption system. The catalysts maintain nearly 100% NO conversion efficiency at 350℃. Comprehensive tests were carried out to study the adsorption behavior of NH3 and NO over the catalysts. The desorption experiments prove that NH3 and NO are adsorbed on CuO/γ-Al2O3 catalysts. The adsorption behaviors of NH3 and NO were also studied with the in-situ diffusion reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy methods. The results show that NH3 could be strongly adsorbed on the catalysts, resulting in coordinated NH3 and NH4＋. NO adsorption leads to the formation of bridging bidentate nitrate, chelating bidentate nitrate, and chelating nitro. The interaction of NH3 and NO molecules with the Cu2＋ present on the CAl2O3 （100） surface was investigated by using a periodic density functional theory. The results show that the adsorption of all the molecules on the Cu2＋ site is energetically favorable, whereas NO bound is stronger than that of NH3 with the adsorption site, and key information about the structural and energetic properties was also addressed.

相对湿度对SO_(2)/NH_(3)在α-Fe_(2)O_(3)表面非均相反应的影响

采用原位漫反射傅里叶变换光谱技术研究SO_(2)/NH_(3)在α-Fe_(2)O_(3)颗粒物表面的非均相反应,探究相对湿度条件对NH_(3)作用下生成硫酸盐颗粒物影响.结果表明,干燥条件下颗粒物表面有硫酸盐(1271,1244,1163,1069cm^(-1))以及铵盐(1698,1435cm^(-1))特征峰的生成,NH_(3)能够与SO_(2)协同作用促进硫酸盐颗粒物的生成.随着相对湿度的增大,部分硫酸盐的峰位红移至硫酸氢盐(1239cm^(-1))处,表明湿润条件下有硫酸氢盐的生成.随着相对湿度从0%上升至78%,颗粒物表面硫酸盐的生成速率由9.38×10^(-17)ions/(g⋅s)降低至4.33×10^(-17)ions/(g⋅s),NH_(3)作用下SO_(2)在颗粒物表面的摄取系数(γ)由2.04×10^(-6)降低至9.43×10^(-7),表明水汽对SO_(2)/NH_(3)在α-Fe_(2)O_(3)颗粒物表面上的非均相反应有抑制作用.

Effect of x-alumina addition on H_2S oxidation properties of pure and modified y-alumina

The influence of the textural and acidic properties ofγ‐Al2O3,(γ+χ)‐Al2O3,and?‐Al2O3on the catalytic activity,selectivity,and stability of direct H2S oxidation has been studied.A comparison of the H2S‐to‐S conversion effectiveness of aluminas with their acidic properties(identified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and temperature programmed desorption of NH3)shows that H2S adsorption occurs predominantly on weak Lewis acid sites(LAS).γ‐Alumina samples containing aχ‐phase and/or modified Mg2+ions have a greater concentration of weak LAS and exhibit greater catalytic activity.When alumina is treated with a sulfuric acid solution,strong LAS appear and the number of LAS decreases significantly.Modification of alumina with hydrochloric acid has a limited effect on LAS strength.Weak LAS are retained and double in number compared to that present in the unmodified alumina,but the treated sample has Al?Cl bonds.Alumina samples modified by sulfate and chloride anions exhibit poor catalytic activity in H2S oxidation.

Surface Modification of (001) Facets Dominated TiO2 with Ozone for Adsorption and Photocatalytic Degradation of Gaseous Toluene

This study investigated the positive effect of surface modification with ozone on the photocatalytic performance of anatase TiO2 with dominated（001） facets for toluene degradation.The performance of photocatalyst was tested on a home-made volatile organic compounds degradation system. The ozone modification, toluene adsorption and degradation mechanism were established by a combination of various characterization methods, in situ diffuse reflectance infrared fourier transform spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculation.The surface modification with ozone can significantly enhance the photocatalytic degradation performance for toluene. The abundant unsaturated coordinated 5 c-Ti sites on（001）facets act as the adsorption sites for ozone. The formed Ti–O bonds reacted with H2O to generate a large amount of isolated Ti5 c-OH which act as the adsorption sites for toluene,and thus significantly increase the adsorption capacity for toluene. The outstanding photocatalytic performance of ozone-modified TiO2 is due to its high adsorption ability for toluene and the abundant surface hydroxyl groups, which produce very reactive OH·radicals under irradiation. Furthermore, the O2 generated via ozone dissociation could combine with the photogenerated electrons to form superoxide radicals which are also conductive to the toluene degradation.

Electrochemical CO2 Reduction on Pd-Modified Cu Foil

Bimetallic catalysts can improve CO2 reduction efficiency via the combined properties of two metals.CuPd shows enhanced CO2 reduction activity compared to copper alone.Using differential electrochemical mass spectrometry(DEMS)and electrochemical infrared(IR)spectroscopy,volatile products and adsorbed intermediates were measured during CO2 and CO reduction on Cu and CuPd.The IR band corresponding to adsorbed CO appears 300 mV more positive on CuPd than that on Cu,indicating acceleration of CO2 reduction to CO.Electrochemical IR spectroscopy measurements in CO-saturated solutions reveal similar potentials for CO adsorption and CO3^2-desorption on CuPd and Cu,indicating that CO adsorption is controlled by desorption of CO3^2-.DEMS measurements carried out during CO reduction at both electrodes showed that the onset potential for reduction of CO to CH4 and CH3OH on CuPd is about 200 mV more positive than that on Cu.We attribute these improvements to interaction of Cu and Pd,which shifts the d-band center of the Cu sites.

邻氯苯亚甲基丙二腈的热分解性能研究

邻氯苯亚甲基丙二腈（CS）作为催泪剂在各国反恐防暴装备中得到了广泛应用。实际使用时,燃烧和爆炸驱动分散CS形成气溶胶的同时会导致其分解。为提高CS的利用效率,有必要研究其热稳定性和热分解性能。本工作应用热重分析与差示扫描量热法（TGA/DSC）研究CS在不同升温速率时产生的热失重和热效应现象,并与傅里叶变换红外光谱法（FTIR）联用对逸出气体进行分析;用热裂解与气相色谱-质谱（PY-GC/MS）技术研究CS在350~650℃的热分解性能。实验发现：CS在96℃附近熔融;310℃附近沸腾;450~550℃之间发生首次热分解,热分解产物与温度有着密切关系,550℃的分解产物有4种;650℃的热分解程度加深,分解产物多达10种。因此,建议CS与烟火剂混合使用时,烟火剂的燃烧温度以不超过450℃为宜。

In situ studies on ceria promoted cobalt oxide for CO oxidation

In situ studies of catalysts play valuable roles in observing phase transformation, understanding the corresponding surface chemistry and the mechanism of the reaction. In this paper, ceria promoted cobalt oxide was prepared by the calcination method and investigated for the CO oxidation. The microstructure and morphology of CeO2-Co3O4 were investigated by the Scanning Electron Microscope, High-resolution transmission electron microscopy, Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy characterization. The effect of CeO2 doping on Co3O4 for CO oxidation was characterized by in situ X-ray Diffraction (in situ XRD) and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (in situ DRIFTS). In situ XRD was carried out under H2 atmosphere to evaluate the redox property of catalysts. The results indicated that the ceria doping can enhance the reducibility of Co2+ and promote the Co3+-Co2+-Co3+ cycle, owing to the oxygen replenish property of CeO2. Furthermore, adsorbed carbonate species on the surface of CeO2-Co3O4 were investigated by in situ-DRIFTS experiment. It was turned out that carbonate species on ceria promoted cobalt oxide catalysts showed different IR peaks compared with pure cobalt oxide. The carbonate species on ceria promoted catalyst are more active, and similar to free state carbonate species with weak bonding to catalyst surface, which can effectively inhibit catalyst inactivation. This study revealed the mechanism of ceria promoting CO oxidation over cobalt oxide, which will provide theoretical support for the design of efficient CO oxidation catalysts.

Fibrinogen Adsorption on Biomaterials as Characterized by Transmission FTIR Spectroscopy

The adsorption of plasma proteins onto biomaterials can be characterized by either the amount of adsorbed protein or the conformation of the adsorbed proteins. The adsorption characteristics of biomaterials are important for hemocompatibility evaluation. In this investigation, the amount of adsorbed human fibrinogen (HFG) and the conformation of the adsorbed HFG on different surfaces were measured simultaneously using transmission FTIR. The surface materials included CaF 2, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), type II polyurethane made by Chengdu University of Science & Technology, pellethane 2363 55D and pellethane 2363 80A. The results indicate that both the amount of adsorbed protein and the conformation of the adsorbed protein can be measured simultaneously using a single transmission FTIR technique. The result also suggests that a single parameter, either the adsorbed amount or the conformation of the adsorbed HFG, can not provide complete information about the hemocompatibility of the biomaterials.
