The unique p-n type heterostructure not only promotes the separation and transfer of photogenerated charge carriers significantly, but also offers more active sites for photocatalytic hydrogen production. A photocatalytic mechanism is proposed based on the results of electrochemical measurements and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.展开更多

The results show that the Fe and Ni mainly catalyze non ipso hydrogenation of 9,10 DPA without sulfur, but selectively promote ipso hydrogenation of 9,10 DPA in the presence of sulfur.展开更多

These catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, H2 temperature programmed reduction （TPR） and thermogravimetric analysis （TGA） techniques. The XRD and TPR studies showed that Ni was present as Ni2＋ on the support, which indicated that there were no elemental nickel （Ni^0） and Ni203 species in the unreduced samples. Increasing of calcination temperature to 650 ℃ leads to destruction of the support structure observed in TGA, while the catalyst sample calcined at 550 ℃ exhibits better performances than other samples. The ideal conversion of maleic anhydride （97.14%） and selectivity of succinic anhydride （99.55%） were realized at a reaction temperature of 180 ℃ and a weight hourly space velocity of 4 h^-1 under a reaction pressure of 1 MPa.展开更多
