The tuning of their composition, structure and morphology at macro and nanoscale can alter significantly their catalytic behavior and robustness with a strong impact on their overall performances. Among the several combinations of supports and promoters that have been utilized, Pd/CeO2 has attracted a great attention due to its activity and durability coupled with the unusually high degree of interaction between Pd/Pd O and the support. This allows the creation of specific structural arrangements which profoundly impact on methane activation characteristics. Here we want to review the latest findings in this area, and particularly to envisage how the control(when possible) of Pd-CeO2 interaction at nanoscale can help in designing more robust methane oxidation catalysts.展开更多

The challenge is to obtain a highly active catalyst under mild conditions for practical applications. Here atomic layer deposition (ALD) of FeOx was performed to deposit an ultrathin oxide coating layer to a Pd/C catalyst, therein the FeOx coverage was precisely controlled by ALD cycles. Transmission electron microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction measurements suggest that the FeOx coating layer improved the thermal stability of Pd nanoparticles (NPs). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurement showed that deposition of FeOx on the Pd NPs caused a positive shift of Pd3d binding energy. In the FA dehydrogenation reaction, the ultrathin FeOx layer on the Pd/C could considerably improve the catalytic activity, and Pd/C coated with 8 cycles of FeOx showed an optimized activity with turnover frequency being about 2 times higher than the uncoated one. shape as a function of the number of FeOx ALD The improved activities were in a volcanocycles, indicating the coverage of FeOx is critical for the optimized activity. In summary, simultaneous improvements of activity and thermal stability of Pd/C catalyst by ultra-thin FeOx overlayer suggest to be an effective way to design active catalysts for the FA dehydrogenation reaction.展开更多

In the reaction system of Pd(C4H2O4)(C4H8N2)0.5/Cu(OAc)2/ tetrabutylammonium bromide/ hydroquinone/ 4A molecular sieves, the effect of reaction temperature, time and CO pressure on catalytic activity were investigated, and the results revealed that the catalyst could catalyze oxidative carbonylation of phenol effectively. Under suitable reaction conditions of T=90℃, t=4 h, p(O2)=0.3 MPa, p(CO)=3.9 MPa and CH2Cl2 as solvent, the turnover number (TON) of diphenyl carbonate can reach about 13.50 (mol-DPC/mol-Pd), which is higher than the TON for oure PdCl2 under the same reaction conditions.展开更多

The pre-reduced catalysts show significantly higher activities than the pre-oxidized ones. Model studies were performed to better understand the oxidation state, reactivities and stabilities of partially oxidized Pd surfaces under CO oxidation reaction condi tions using an in situ infrared reflection absorption spectrometer (IRAS). Three O/Pd(100) model surfaces, chemisorbed oxygen covered surface, surface oxide and bulk-like surface oxide, were prepared and characterized by low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). The present work demonstrates that the oxidized palladium surface is less active for CO oxidation than the metallic surface, and is unstable under the reaction conditions with sufficient CO.展开更多
