Structural characterization of nanosized CeO(2)-SiO(2), CeO(2)-TiO(2), and CeO(2)-ZrO(2) catalysts by XRD, Raman, and HREM techniques

Structural characteristics of nanosized ceria-silica, ceria-titania, and ceria-zirconia mixed oxide catalysts have been investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, BET surface area, thermogravimetry, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HREM). The effect of support oxides on the crystal modification of ceria cubic lattice was mainly focused. The investigated oxides were obtained by soft chemical routes with ultrahighly dilute solutions and were subjected to thermal treatments from 773 to 1073 K. The XRD results suggest that the CeO(2)-SiO(2) sample primarily consists of nanocrystalline CeO(2) on the amorphous SiO(2) surface. Both crystalline CeO(2) and TiO(2) anatase phases were noted in the case of CeO(2)-TiO(2) sample. Formation of cubic Ce(0.75)Zr(0.25)O(2) and Ce(0.6)Zr(0.4)O(2) (at 1073 K) were observed in the case of the CeO(2)-ZrO(2) sample. Raman measurements disclose the fluorite structure of ceria and the presence of oxygen vacancies/Ce(3+). The HREM results reveal well-dispersed CeO(2) nanocrystals over the amorphous SiO(2) matrix in the cases of CeO(2)-SiO(2), isolated CeO(2), and TiO(2) (anatase) nanocrystals, some overlapping regions in the case of CeO(2)-TiO(2), and nanosized CeO(2) and Ce-Zr oxides in the case of CeO(2)-ZrO(2) sample. The exact structural features of these crystals as determined by digital diffraction analysis of HREM experimental images reveal that the CeO(2) is mainly in cubic fluorite geometry. The oxygen storage capacity (OSC) as determined by thermogravimetry reveals that the OSC of the mixed oxide systems is more than that of pure CeO(2) and is system dependent.     

Surface stabilized nanosized Ce(x)Zr(1-x)O(2) solid solutions over SiO(2): characterization by XRD, Raman, and HREM techniques

Ce(x)Zr(1)(-)(x)O(2) solid solutions deposited over silica surface were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy (RS), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HREM) techniques in order to understand the role of silica support and the temperature stability of these composite oxides. For the purpose of comparison, an unsupported Ce(x)Zr(1)(-)(x)O(2) was also synthesized and subjected to characterization by various techniques. The Ce(x)Zr(1)(-)(x)O(2)/SiO(2) (CZ/S) (1:1:2 mole ratio based on oxides) was synthesized by depositing Ce(x)Zr(1)(-)(x)O(2) solid solution over a colloidal SiO(2) support by a deposition precipitation method and unsupported Ce(x)Zr(1)(-)(x)O(2) (CZ) (1:1 mole ratio based on oxides) was prepared by a coprecipitation procedure, and the obtained catalysts were subjected to thermal treatments from 773 to 1073 K. The XRD measurements disclose the presence of cubic phases with the composition Ce(0.75)Zr(0.25)O(2) and Ce(0.6)Zr(0.4)O(2) in CZ samples, while CZ/S samples possess Ce(0.75)Zr(0.25)O(2), Ce(0.6)Zr(0.4)O(2), and Ce(0.5)Zr(0.5)O(2) in different proportions. The crystallinity of these phases increased with increasing calcination temperature. The cell a parameter estimations indicate contraction of ceria lattice due to the incorporation of zirconium cations into the CeO(2) unit cell. Raman measurements indicate the presence of oxygen vacancies, lattice defects, and displacement of oxygen ions from their normal lattice positions in both the series of samples. The HREM results reveal, in the case of CZ/S samples, a well-dispersed nanosized Ce-Zr-oxides over the surface of amorphous SiO(2). The structural features of these crystals as determined by digital diffraction analysis of experimental images reveal that the Ce-Zr-oxides are mainly in the cubic geometry and exhibit high thermal stability. Oxygen storage capacity measurements by a thermogravimetric method reveal a substantial enhancement in the oxygen vacancy concentration of CZ/S sample over the unsupported CZ sample.     

Structural characterization and oxidative dehydrogenation activity of V2O5/Ce(x)Zr(1-x)O2/SiO2 catalysts

The thermal stability of a nanosized Ce(x)Zr(1-x)O2 solid solution on a silica surface and the dispersion behavior of V2O5 over Ce(x)Zr(1-x)O2/SiO2 have been investigated using XRD, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, HREM, and BET surface area techniques. Oxidative dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene was performed as a test reaction to assess the usefulness of the VOx/Ce(x)Zr(1-x)O2/SiO2 catalyst. Ce(x)Zr(1-x)O2/SiO2 (1:1:2 mol ratio based on oxides) was synthesized through a soft-chemical route from ultrahigh dilute solutions by adopting a deposition coprecipitation technique. A theoretical monolayer equivalent to 10 wt % V2O5 was impregnated over the calcined Ce(x)Zr(1-x)O2/SiO2 sample (773 K) by an aqueous wet impregnation technique. The prepared V2O5/Ce(x)Zr(1-x)O2/SiO2 sample was subjected to thermal treatments from 773 to 1073 K. The XRD measurements indicate the presence of cubic Ce0.75Zr0.25O2 in the case of Ce(x)Zr(1-x)O2/SiO2, while cubic Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 and tetragonal Ce0.16Zr0.84O2 in the case of V2O5/Ce(x)Zr(1-x)O2/SiO2 when calcined at various temperatures. Dispersed vanadium oxide induces more incorporation of zirconium into the ceria lattice, thereby decreasing its lattice size and also accelerating the crystallization of Ce-Zr-O solid solutions at higher calcination temperatures. Further, it interacts selectively with the ceria portion of the composite oxide to form CeVO4. The RS measurements provide good evidence about the dispersed form of vanadium oxide and the CeVO4 compound. The HREM studies show the presence of small Ce-Zr-oxide particles of approximately 5 nm size over the surface of amorphous silica and corroborate with the results obtained from other techniques. The catalytic activity studies reveal the ability of vanadium oxide supported on Ce(x)Zr(1-x)O2/SiO2 to efficiently catalyze the ODH of ethylbenzene at normal atmospheric pressure. The remarkable ability of Ce(x)Zr(1-x)O2 to prevent the deactivation of supported vanadium oxide leading to stable activity in the time-on-stream experiments and high selectivity to styrene are other important observations.

Influence of ceria modification on the properties of TiO2-ZrO2 supported V2O5 catalysts for selective catalytic reduction of NO by NH3

TiO(2)-ZrO(2) (hereafter denoted as Ti-Zr) supported V(2)O(5) catalysts with different loadings of CeO(2) were synthesized, and their physicochemical properties were characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (in situ FT-IR) and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR). Their catalytic activities toward the NO(x) reduction reaction with NH(3) were tested. We found that with the addition of CeO(2), more NO was removed in a wide temperature range of 220-500 °C. As the CeO(2) content was increased from 10% to 20% (i.e., the molar ratio of Ce to Ti-Zr), NO conversion increased significantly; after that, increasing CeO(2) content, however, decreased NO conversion. In particular, the addition of CeO(2) to V(2)O(5)/Ti-Zr suppressed the coke deposition and rendered a stable and high catalytic activity. The characterization results indicated that: (1) the deposited vanadium and cerium oxides were highly dispersed over the Ti-Zr support, and in addition to ZrV(2)O(7), a common binary compound observed in V(2)O(5)/Ti-Zr, CeVO(4) and Ce(3)ZrO(8) was formed upon increasing CeO(2) content; (2) the introduction of CeO(2) to V(2)O(5)/Ti-Zr sample promoted the redox ability of the resulting catalysts; and (3) the Ce-containing catalysts possessed the greater amount of surface acidic and active intermediate.

Catalytic methanol decomposition to carbon monoxide and hydrogen over Pd/CeO2-ZrO2-La2O3 with different Ce/Zr molar ratios

The catalytic behaviors of Pd (1.4 wt%) catalysts supported on CeO2-ZrO2-La2O3 mixed oxides with different Ce/Zr molar ratios were investigated for methanol decomposition. Nitrogen adsorption-desorption (BET), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), H2 temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Pd dispersion analysis were used for their characterization. Pd/Ce0.76Zr0.18 La0.06 O1.97 catalyst showed the highest BET surface area, best Pd dispersion capability and strongest metal-support interaction. Moreover, XPS showed that there was lattice defect oxygen or mobile oxygen. According to the result of O 1s measurements the lattice defect oxygen or mobile oxygen helped to maintain Pd in a partly oxidized state and increased the activity for methanol decomposition. The Pd/Ce0.76Zr0.18La0.06O1.97 catalyst exhibited the best activity. A 100% conversion of methanol was achieved at around 260℃, which was about 20-40 ℃ lower than other catalysts     

负载型CeO2-ZrO2固溶体的性能及其在甲烷燃烧Pd催化剂中的应用

以硅改性的氧化铝为载体,用反相微乳液法合成了负载型的CeO2-ZrO2固溶体(Ce-Zr-O/Si-Al2O3),用低温氮吸附、X射线衍射、程序升温还原、拉曼光谱和x射线光电子能谱等方法对Ce-Zr-O/Si-Al2O3的织构性能、热稳定性和储放氧性能等进行了表征.结果表明,负载后的CeO2-ZrO2晶相与负载前相比没有变化,但热稳定性和在低温下的放氧能力及总储氧量明显提高.作为甲烷燃烧Pd催化剂的载体,Ce-Zr-O/Si-Al2O3的性能明显优于CeO2-ZrO2,Si-Al2O3和机械混合物CeO2-ZrO2 Si-Al2O3.使用0.2%Pd/10?-Zr-O/Si-Al2O3为催化剂时,甲烷90%转化率时的温度仅为345℃,比负载在其它载体上的Pd催化剂低175℃.     

V2O5-CeO2/TiO2-ZrO2催化剂表征及NH3还原NOx性能

商业选择性催化还原(SCR)催化剂V2O5-WO3(MoO3)/TiO2存在反应温度窗口窄(300–400 oC)和SO3转化率高等缺点,同时占催化剂总质量80%以上的载体TiO2比表面积小,热稳定性差.已有研究发现TiO2-ZrO2固溶体具有较大的比表面积和较强的表面酸性, TiO2与ZrO2的摩尔比为1：1时其比表面积达到最大. CeO2作为SCR催化剂的组成部分,由于其优良的储氧和放氧能力受到广泛关注.研究表明, CeO2-CuO, Ce/Ti-Si-Al和Mo2O3(Co2O3)/Ce-Zr等催化剂具有优良的SCR脱硝活性,同时对V2O5-WO3/TiO2催化剂进行CeO2改性,可提高催化剂的抗SO2中毒能力.实际烟气组分中同时存在SO2和H2O,必定会导致催化剂硫酸盐中毒,而目前对含Ce催化剂的硫酸盐中毒情况研究较少,因此开发新型高效脱硝催化剂十分必要.前期我们研究了xCeO2-3%V2O5/TiO2-ZrO2催化剂,发现CeO2可以显著拓宽脱硝温度窗口,同时增强催化剂酸性位点,但是V2O5含量较高时对环境及人体健康均有较大危害.本文采用共沉淀法制备摩尔比为1：1的TiO2-ZrO2固溶体,用浸渍法负载不同摩尔比的CeO2和1%的V2O5,得到一系列V-xCe/Ti-Zr催化剂,结合X射线衍射(XRD)、比表面积测试(BET)、高分辨透射电镜(HRTEM)、程序升温还原(H2-TPR)、原位漫反射红外光谱(in situ DRIFTS)和程序升温脱附(NH3-TPD)等手段分析催化剂的晶相、活性物质分散程度、氧化还原性质及表面酸性,在200–450 oC范围内考察Ce掺杂催化剂选择性催化还原NOx的脱硝活性,并在250 oC测试催化剂在NH3+NO+O2+SO2+H2O气氛中的脱硝活性,研究催化剂抗硫酸盐中毒能力.研究发现,CeO2掺杂可以拓宽脱硝反应活性窗口, V-0.2Ce/Ti-Zr (摩尔比Ce：Ti =0.2)表现出最优的脱硝性能,在250–350oC范围内脱硝效率均在92%以上,同时与前期研究结果对比发现CeO2含量较高时会导致高温段NOx转化率下降. XRD和HRTEM结果表明,ZrO2的添加可以显著降低载体TiO2的结晶度,复合氧化物TiO2-ZrO2呈无定形态, CeO2高度分散于载体之上,并且催化剂以单晶形式存在. H2-TPR结果表明,CeO2能显著提高催化剂的还原能力,主要的还原反应发生在CeO2的α(200–430oC)和β(430–600 oC)还原峰上,总体而言, V-0.2Ce/Ti-Zr表现出最大的氢气消耗量,即其还原性最强.低V2O5负载有利于较低温度SCR反应, V-0.3Ce/Ti-Zr的钒氧化物还原峰强度最大,其次是V-0.2Ce/Ti-Zr. NH3-TPD测试发现V2O5/TiO2主要存在中强酸及强酸,而V2O5/TiO2-ZrO2主要是弱酸, CeO2负载后随着其含量提高,弱酸强度增加.结合氨气原位漫反射红外光谱发现, CeO2可以增加催化剂Br?nsted和Lewis酸位数量,同时出现反应中间物–NH2, V2O5的负载量较高会抑制1660 cm–1处Br?nsted酸吸收峰的出现. BET结果发现, TiO2-ZrO2和V2O5/Ti-ZrO2比表面积分别可达255.73和143.77 m2/g, V2O5/TiO2仅为66.1 m2/g,表明ZrO2的添加可以显著增大催化剂比表面积,进而有利于SCR反应进行,沉积的氧化物进入载体孔道导致催化剂比表面积降低. V2O5-xCeO2/TiO2-ZrO2表现出较强的抗SO2中毒能力,但是在H2O存在条件下脱硝活性较差,可能是生成的硫酸铵盐及亚硫酸盐阻塞催化剂孔道所致. SO2和H2O停止通入后, V2O5-0.3CeO2/TiO2-ZrO2活性恢复至原有水平, V2O5-0.2CeO2/TiO2-ZrO2恢复至最初的84%.对中毒催化剂进行不同反应温度下的活性测试,发现V2O5-0.2CeO2/TiO2-ZrO2在中温段反应活性显著降低,可能是由于Ce(SO4)2的形成所致,由于V2O5-0.3CeO2/TiO2-ZrO2的Ce含量较高,其在此温度范围内活性依旧较高.两者在高温段NOx转化率均较高,推测是V2O5开始发挥活性组分作用的缘故.     

V2O5-CeO2/TiO2催化剂上低温氨选择性催化还原NO的性能

考察了V2O5-CeO2/TiO2催化剂中V、Ce活性组分的担载量和焙烧温度对催化剂低温催化还原NO活性的影响及其在单独SO2、H2O和两者共存气氛下的抗毒化性能。结果表明,焙烧温度400℃下制备的5V30Ce/TiO2催化剂具有良好的低温催化还原NO活性,空速为10000h-1,165℃时NO转化率达99.2%;500℃以下低焙烧温度时,添加的Ce不与V相互作用,在催化剂表面主要以CeO2形式存在,有利于增大催化剂比表面积,增强V2O5在催化剂上的分散度,提高催化活性。而在500℃以上较高焙烧温度下,Ce与V会形成CeVO4,对活性提高不利。催化剂具有良好的低温抗水中毒性能,但受SO2毒化作用明显,其在SO2、H2O共存气氛下中毒程度较单独SO2下浅。     

Characterization and reactivity of copper oxide catalysts supported on TiO2-ZrO2

A series of copper catalysts supported on TiO2-ZrO2 with copper loading varying from 1.0 to 21.6 wt % were prepared by a wet impregnation method. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, electron spin resonance (ESR), temperature programmed reduction (TPR), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller specific surface area measurements. Copper dispersion and metal area were determined by N2O decomposition by the passivation method. XRD results suggest that the copper oxide is present in a highly dispersed amorphous state at copper loadings <16.8 wt % in the sample and as a crystalline CuO phase at higher Cu loadings. Copper dispersion increases with Cu loading up to 5.1 wt % and levels off at higher loadings. The XPS peak intensity ratios of Cu 2p(3/2)/Ti 2p(3/2) and Cu 2p(3/2)/Zr 3d(5/2) were compared with the copper dispersion calculated from N2O decomposition. ESR results suggest the presence of two types of copper species on the TiO2-ZrO2 support. TPR profiles reveal the presence of highly dispersed copper oxide at lower temperatures and bulk CuO at higher temperatures. The catalytic properties were evaluated for the vapor-phase dehydrogenation of cyclohexanol to cyclohexanone and related to the dispersion of Cu on TiO2-ZrO2.     

还原热处理对铈锆铝复合氧化物性能的影响

采用共沉淀法制备铈锆铝复合氧化物(CeO2-ZrO2-Al2O3,CZA)和铈锆复合氧化物(CeO2-ZrO2,CZ),将样品分别在空气和10%H2/Ar气氛下进行热处理,利用X射线粉末衍射(XRD)、O2脉冲吸附、H2程序升温还原(H2-TPR)等手段研究了复合氧化物的结构及性能.结果表明:CZA样品经950℃还原热处理后出现CeAlO3晶相,热处理温度越高,越有利于CeAlO3物相生成.CZA储氧量(OSC)随着还原热处理温度升高逐渐增大,至900℃达到1270.3μmo·lg-1;温度继续升高,OSC减小,1100℃还原热处理后CZA的OSC仅为23.2μmo·lg-1.研究发现还原热处理中形成CeAlO3,其显著影响CZA样品的储氧性能和还原性能.     

纳米CeO2基固溶体催化柴油机碳颗粒物燃烧性能

采用柠檬酸溶胶鄄凝胶法制备CeO2基固溶体催化剂(Ce0.7Zr0.3O2-δ、Ce0.7Pr0.3O2-δ和Ce0.7Gd0.3O2-δ), 并考察了固溶体和三种常用载体(TiO2、SiO2和Al2O3)及其负载KNO3后的催化碳黑燃烧活性. 结果表明, CeO2基固溶体催化剂具有很高的催化燃烧活性, 其活性接近TiO2、SiO2和Al2O3负载30%KNO3催化剂的活性. 因为纳米CeO2基固溶体的形成, 提高了催化剂的抗烧结能力, 使氧更活泼, 从而提高氧化还原性能, 有利于碳颗粒燃烧. 由于CeO2基固溶体本身的高活性, 因此KNO3的添加不能明显提高CeO2基固溶体催化剂(尤其是Ce0.7Zr0.3O2-δ和Ce0.7Pr0.3O2-δ)的催化燃烧活性, 但KNO3能显著提高TiO2, SiO2和Al2O3的催化燃烧活性.     

添加稀土氧化物助剂的CeO2-ZrO2固溶体的储氧性及热稳定性研究

大多数工业催化剂都是在稳定的操作条件下进行的,然而汽车尾气净化催化剂却被暴露在大气中,使用条件经常变化,尤其是空燃比(A/F)的变化,直接影响了对氧敏感的三效催化剂的氧化和还原性能[1].CeO2则是一种具有储氧/释氧能力的催化材料,它作为助剂加入三效催化剂中,可在贫况下储存氧(以Ce4+存在)利于NOx的还原,在富况下释放氧(以Ce3+存在),利于HC、CO的氧化,从而提高了催化剂的活性.然而,CeO2 的储氧性通常局限在表面上,当温度超过400℃以上时,其比表面积降低从而引起储氧性能急剧下降,直接影响催化剂的性能和寿命.

Methane reforming With CO2 to syngas over CeO2-promoted Ni/Al2O3-ZrO2 catalysts Prepared Via a direct sol-gel process

CeO2-promoted Ni/Al2O3-ZrO2 (Ni/Al2O3-ZrO2-CeO2) catalysts were prepared by a direct sol-gel process with citric acid as gelling agent. The catalysts used for the methane reforming with CO2 was studied by infrared spectroscopy (IR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), microscopic analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR). The catalytic performance for CO2 reforming of methane to synthesis gas was investigated in a continuous-flow micro-reactor under atmospheric pressure. TGA, IR, XRD and microscopic analysis show that the catalysts prepared by the direct sol-gel process consist of Ni particles with a nanostructure of around 5 nm and an amorphous-phase composite oxide support. There exists a chemical interaction between metallic Ni particles and supports, which makes metallic Ni well dispersed, highly active and stable. The addition of CeO2 effectively improves the dispersion and the stability of Ni particles of the prepared catalysts, and enhances the adsorption of CO2 on the surface of catalysts. The catalytic tests for methane reforming with CO2 to synthesis gas show that the Ni/Al2O3-ZrO2-CeO2 catalysts show excellent activity and stability compared with the Ni/Al2O3 catalyst. The excellent catalytic activity and stability of the Ni/Al2O3-ZrO2-CeO2 are attributed to the highly, uniformly and stably dispersed small metallic Ni particles, the high reducibility of the Ni oxides and the interaction between metallic Ni particles and the composite oxide supports.     

Kinetics of oxygen exchange over CeO2-ZrO2 fluorite-based catalysts

The kinetics of 18O/16O isotopic exchange over CeO2-ZrO2-La2O3 and Pt/CeO2-ZrO2 catalysts have been investigated under the conditions of dynamic adsorption-desorption equilibrium at atmospheric pressure and a temperature range of 650-850 degrees C. The rates of oxygen adsorption-desorption on Pt sites, support surface, oxygen transfer (spillover) from Pt to the support as well as the amount of oxygen accumulated in the oxide bulk, and oxygen diffusion coefficient were estimated. The nanocrystalline structure of lanthana-doped ceria-zirconia prepared via the Pechini route with a developed network of domain boundaries and specific defects guarantees a high oxygen mobility in the oxide bulk (D = (1.5 / 2.0).10-18 m2 s-1 at 650 degrees C) and allows accumulation of over-stoichiometric/excess oxygen. For Pt/CeO2-ZrO2, oxygen transfer from Pt to support (characteristic time < 10-2 s) was shown to be responsible for the fast exchange between the gas-phase oxygen and oxygen adsorbed on the mixed oxide surface. The rate of direct exchange between the gas phase and surface oxygen is increased as well due to the increased concentration (up to 2 monolayers) of surface/near subsurface oxygen species accumulated on the oxygen vacancies (originated from the incorporation of highly dispersed Pt atoms). The characteristic time of diffusion of the oxygen localized in the subsurface layers is about 1 s. The overall quantity of over-stoichiometric oxygen and/or hydroxyl groups accumulated in the bulk can reach the equivalent of 10 monolayers, and characteristic time of oxygen diffusion within the bulk is about 20 s. All these kinetic data are required for the further step of modeling partial oxidation of hydrocarbons under steady- and unsteady-state conditions.     

CeO2-ZrO2-Al2O3 的制备及其负载钯三效催化剂的催化性能

 采用共沉淀法制备了一系列不同 Al2O3 含量的 CeO2-ZrO2-Al2O3(CZA) 氧化物,并用 X 射线衍射、激光拉曼光谱和 N2 吸附-脱附等手段进行了表征. 以 CZA 为载体, 采用浸渍法制得钯基催化剂. 结果表明, 当 Al2O3 含量为 80%时, 新鲜 CZA 样品中出现γ-Al2O3 相. 经 600 ºC 焙烧后, Al2O3 在 CZA 样品中的溶域值略小于 80%. 经 1 000 ºC 老化后, CZA 样品中 Al2O3 含量为 60%时, 才开始出现微弱 γ-Al2O3 相, 而其他氧化物物相结构稳定. 添加 Al2O3 后材料比表面积和储氧量明显增大. 随着 Al2O3 含量的增加, CZA 样品的储氧量由 336.2 增至 486.2 μmol/g, 表现出良好的抗高温老化性能. 当 Al2O3 含量为 40% 时, 新鲜催化剂对 C3H8 的起燃温度和完全转化温度分别为 238 和 292 ºC, 同时具有良好的温度特性和较宽的空燃比窗口.
