Pt-Ru catalysts supported on CNTs-Nafion composites were synthesized by microwave-assisted polyol process. The physical and electrochemical properties of the catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), CO stripping voltammetry, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA). The results showed that the Nation incorporation in CNTs-Nation composites did not significantly alter the oxygen-containing groups on the CNTs surface. The Pt-Ru catalyst supported on CNTs-Nafion composites with 2 wt% Naton showed good dispersion and the best CO oxidation and methanol electro-oxidation activities.展开更多

However, the application of diesel engines is also facing a serious problem;that is, the emission of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter is serious. For marine diesel engine emission requirements, MARPOL Convention Annex VI imposes strict restrictions on the emission of atmospheric pollutants. The limit emission of nitrogen oxides in the Tier III emission standards mandated by IMO is 3.4 g/kWh. Therefore, in order to meet the requirements of international conventions and countries and regions, it is necessary to control the emissions of diesel engines. The NOx in the exhaust gas is mostly a thermal type of nitrogen oxide which is produced under high temperature and high pressure conditions formed during compression and combustion strokes. The diesel engine relies on the compression energy of the mixture to ignite, and the good injection atomization effect is not achieved. The distribution of the detonation point is not uniform, and local high temperature points are generated in some areas, which increases the NOx formation. The main means of reducing NOx emissions are organic internal control and post-treatment. However, the use of internal control technology to reduce the internal temperature of the machine will deteriorate the fuel combustion conditions, so that the fuel cannot be completely burned, and the emissions of incomplete combustion products such as PM and CO increase. It is difficult to achieve NOx reduction by simply relying on the internal control technology, so it is necessary to use post-processing technology. The combined use of different emission reduction technologies is also a hot topic in emissions control research. The post-treatment methods for NOx emission reduction include direct catalytic decomposition, selective non-catalytic reduction, selective catalytic reduction, lean-burn adsorption catalytic reduction, and low-temperature plasma assisted technology. The current research and application schemes in the industry are SCR selectivity. Catalytic reduction and LNT lean combustion adsorption reduction. In this paper, the partial replacement of Ce by La is carried out to modify the Ce/Zr composite oxide. The mass fraction of La2O3 in the prepared La/Ce/Zr composite oxide was 5%, and the physicochemical properties of La/Ce/Zr composite oxide powder were analyzed by ICP, OSC, SEM and TPR techniques. The experiment found that: 1) La can refine the grain and inhibit the grain growth, so that the powder obtains a higher specific surface area and a smaller particle size distribution. 2) The addition of La reduces the sintering of cerium-zirconium and improves the heat aging resistance of the catalyst under the inhibition of high temperature. 3) After doping La, it enhances the migration of surface lattice oxygen and enhances the oxygen storage capacity;the addition of La enhances the NO adsorption capacity of cerium-zirconium and improves the catalytic activity of the catalyst. The light-off temperature and the highest activity temperature of PM decrease, and the reduction rate of No is 19.2%.展开更多

The effects of preparation conditions on the initial catalytic activity and long-time stability were studied for CO oxidation. XRD, XPS and in situ FTIR were employed to investigate the state of FeO x and the species on the catalyst surface. The results showed that Au/FeO x /Al 2 O 3 catalysts prepared by this method exhibited high activity and high stability in a wide pH value range. Calcination pretreatment was proved to be beneficial to improving the activity and stability. The beneficial effects of FeO x acting as a structural promoter could be ascribed to the ability to supply active oxygen species. As the precursor of FeO x , Fe(NO 3 ) 3 is superior to FeCl 3 for obtaining higher stability.展开更多

The catalysts were characterized by the Xray diffraction(XRD), H2-temperature programmed reduction(H2-TPR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR), etc. The catalytic activity for o-xylene was investigated. The catalytic degradation pathway and mechanism of o-xylene were inferred. The results show that Ce O_(2)is mainly present on the surface of all catalysts. The surface area of Ce_(2)Co1Cu1is up to 77.2 m^(2)/g, and the average pore size is 10.62 nm. It exhibits redox and sufficient Ce^(4+)and Ce^(^(3+)), and reactive oxygen species, and has maximum O-H and C=O in the five catalyst samples. The catalytic activity of Ce2Co1Cu1is the best at low temperature, with the T50and T90values of 235 and 258°C at a space velocity of 32000 h-1, respectively. The o-xylene is oxidized to o-methyl benzaldehyde, and then further oxidized to o-methylbenzoic acid, and finally CO_(2)and H2O are formed.展开更多

Cont...NH_(3) in ambient air directly leads to an increase in the aerosol content in the air. These substances lead to the formation of haze to various environmental problems after atmospheric circulation and diffusion. Controlling NH_(3) emissions caused by ammonia escaping from mobile and industrial sources can effectively reduce the NH_(3) content in ambient air. Among the various NH_(3) removal methods, the selective catalytic oxygen method (NH_(3)-SCO) is committed to oxidizing NH_(3) to environmentally harmless H_(2)O and N_(2);therefore, it is the most valuable and ideal ammonia removal method. In this review, the characteristics of loaded and core-shell catalysts in NH_(3)-SCO have been reviewed in the context of catalyst structure-activity relationships, and the H_(2)O resistance and SO2 resistance of the catalysts are discussed in the context of practical application conditions. Then the effects of the valence state of the active center, oxygen species on the catalyst surface, dispersion of the active center and acidic sites on the catalyst performance are discussed comprehensively. Finally, the shortcomings of the existing catalysts are summarized and the catalyst development is discussed based on the existing studies.展开更多
