By using typical co‐precipitation and deposition–precipitation methods and under identical calcination conditions, supported gold catalysts were prepared on a wide variety of MOx supports, and the temperature for 50%conversion was measured to qualita‐tively evaluate the catalytic activities of these simple MOx and supported Au catalysts. Furthermore, the difference in these temperatures for the simple MOx compared to the supported Au catalysts is plotted against the metal–oxygen binding energies of the support MOx. A clear volcano‐like correla‐tion between the temperature difference and the metal–oxygen binding energies is observed. This correlation suggests that the use of MOx with appropriate metal–oxygen binding energies (300–500 kJ/atom O) greatly improves the catalytic activity of MOx by the deposition of Au NPs.展开更多
Herein,we report the excellent De-NO_(x)performance of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3(LSM)perovskite-supported Pd catalysts(Pd-LSM)in alternating lean-burn/fuel-rich atmospheres using C3H6 as reductant and describe the in situ activa...Herein,we report the excellent De-NO_(x)performance of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3(LSM)perovskite-supported Pd catalysts(Pd-LSM)in alternating lean-burn/fuel-rich atmospheres using C3H6 as reductant and describe the in situ activation of the Pd catalysts via metal-support interaction(MSI)tuning.The NO_(x)reduction conversion of the Pd-LSM catalyst increased significantly from 56.1%to 90.1%and the production of N2O was suppressed.Our results demonstrated that this behavior was mainly attributed to the in situ transformation of Pd2+into Pd0 during the reaction.The generated Pd0 species could readily activate the C3H6 reductant and achieve an eight-fold higher turnover frequency than Pd2+for the reduction of NO_(x).Moreover,excessive MSIs inhibited the in situ generation of Pd0,and thereby,lowered the De-NO_(x)activity of the catalyst even at high Pd dispersion.In addition,the Pd-LSM catalysts exhibited much higher S tolerance than conventional Al_(2)O_(3)-supported catalysts.Our study provides a new approach for analyzing and designing highly active metal catalysts operated under dynamic alternating oxidizing/reducing atmospheric conditions.展开更多

The extraction is based on the IDs-Vcs characteristics by maximum transconductance (maximum slope of IDs & VGS) in the linear region. The transconductance characteristics are determine for the several devices of difference drawn channel length. The effective channel length of submicron LDD (Lightly Doped Drain) NMOSFETs (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) under hot carrier stressing was measured at the stress time varying from zero to 10,000 seconds. It is shown that the effective channel length was increased with time. This is caused by charges trapping in the oxide during stress. The increased of effective channel length (△Leff) is seem to be increased sharply as the gate channel length is decrease.展开更多
