DRIFTS study of Cu1Zr1Ce9Odelta catalysts for selective CO oxidation

The Cu1Zr1Ce9Odelta catalysts synthesized with coprecipitation method were used into the selective CO oxidation in hydrogen-rich gas. The adsorbed species and the intermediates on Cu1Zr1Ce9Odelta catalysts were examined by in-situ diffuse reflectance FTIR spectroscopy (in-situ DRIFTS) technique. It was found that hydrogen, oxygen and CO in the feed stream were adsorbed competitively at the same adsorption sites on the surface of Cu1Zr1Ce9Odelta catalysts. The pretreatment with hydrogen caused the deep reduction of Cu+ species to Cu0 species and decreased the capacity of CO adsorption on the catalyst surface. The Cu1Zr1Ce9Odelta catalyst pretreated with oxygen offered more active oxygen species and inhibited the deep reduction of Cu+ species. The helium pretreatment only purified the surface of Cu1Zr1Ce9Odelta catalyst. Two IR bands at 2938.7 and 2843.8 cm(-1) due to bridged formate and bidentate formate species appeared at 180 degrees C. The active oxygen anion of Cu1Zr1Ce9Odelta catalyst could react with CO and produce carbonate species at room temperatures. The carbonate and formate species occupied the adsorption sites and deteriorated the catalytic performance of Cu1Zr1Ce9Odelta. Flushing the Cu1ZnrCe9Odelta catalyst with helium at 300 degrees C, the bidentate formate species on the catalyst surface decomposed to monodentate carbonate species and then further decomposed to CO2, which could release the adsorption sites and restore well the catalytic activity.     

掺杂碱金属与碱土金属的CuO-CeO_2催化剂的漫反射红外光谱分析

CuO-CeO2系列催化剂是高效的CO选择性氧化反应的催化剂,通过原位漫反射红外光谱对掺杂碱金属和碱土金属氧化物的CuO-CeO2催化剂表面的吸附物种进行了研究。结果表明CuO-CeO2系列催化剂上,2 106 cm-1处出现CO的红外吸附峰。在反应气氛中,此峰的强度随着温度先升高后降低,说明Cu+是CO主要的活性吸附中心。低温下催化剂表面吸附的CO主要以可逆形式脱附出来,而高温下CO则以不可逆的形式脱附出来。催化剂表面在3 660 cm-1处出现尖锐的红外峰,归属于CeO2经还原产生的Ce-(OH)2偕式基团。在1 568,2 838和2 948 cm-1附近处出现甲酸根的红外谱峰,以及1 257和1 633 cm-1处出现碳酸根物种的红外峰。甲酸根物种是气相的CO与表面的羟基反应生成的产物,该物种的C—H键断裂生成碳酸根物种,这两物种均会降低催化剂的高温活性。Cu1Li1Ce9Oδ催化剂出现较强的CO2和甲酸根的红外峰,温度高于180℃时,该催化剂上还能看到微弱的CO红外峰,说明锂离子的给电子性质有利于提高Cu1Li1Ce9Oδ催化剂上CO的不可逆脱附,抑制氢的活化吸附,同时促进了甲酸根物种的生成。低温下Cu1Mg1Ce9Oδ和Cu1Ba1Ce9Oδ催化剂上CO的吸附量较多,但主要以可逆脱附形式脱附出来,对CO选择性氧化没有贡献。     

V2CO2MXene从CO2/N2混合气体中选择性吸附CO2的第一性原理计算

二氧化碳作为温室气体中最重要的组成部分,其含量的变化将直接影响全球气候变化,在燃烧后气体中选择性捕获CO₂,对减缓因CO₂浓度过高引发的环境问题具有十分重要的意义.本文采用第一性原理计算的方法,研究了V₂CO₂ MXene材料对CO₂的选择性吸附性能.首先研究了不同官能团V₂CT_X MXene材料的结构和性质,发现V₂CO₂具有良好的稳定性.后研究了V₂CO₂对CO₂的吸附行为,结果表明,当CO₂被水平吸附时,V₂CO₂对CO₂气体分子的吸附能力较强且均满足在高性能吸附剂表面吸附CO₂的理想值(-0.42 eV-0.82 eV),可以适用于探测/捕获CO₂气体分子.此外,进一步研究了相同条件下V<...

Selective CO oxidation in hydrogen-rich gas over CuO/CeO2 catalysts

A series of CuO/CeO₂ catalysts with different Cu-Ce compositions were synthesized by co-precipitation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction, H₂-TPR, CO-TPD, SEM and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. The effects of Cu-Ce composition and water vapor on the catalytic properties for the selective CO oxidation in the hydrogen-rich gas were investigated. The results indicated that CuO (10%)/CeO₂ catalyst remained the maximum CO conversion and selectivity at 140 and 160 °C, while the performance of CuO/CeO₂ catalysts deteriorated with the CuO molar ratio further increased. The interfacial CuO and CeO₂ interaction and synergistic effect enhanced the redox properties of CuO/CeO₂ catalyst and the highly dispersed copper species were proposed as the active sites for the selective CO oxidation. The blockage of catalytic active sites by absorbed water and the formation of CO-H₂O surface complexes reduced the activity of CuO (10%)/CeO₂ catalyst. The decreasing of surface lattice oxygen and absorbed oxygen species and the agglomeration of copper particles were the plausible interpretations for the deactivation of CuO (10%)/CeO₂ catalyst.     

电场作用下S修饰C24N24从CO2/N2混合气体中选择性吸附

在燃烧后气体中选择性捕获CO2,对减缓因CO2浓度过高引发的环境问题具有十分重要的意义。本文采用第一性原理计算的方法,研究了外加电场作用下S修饰C24N24富勒烯对CO2的选择性吸附性能。首先研究了S@C24N24的结构和性质,发现其具有良好的稳定性。其次,研究了无电场时S修饰C24N24富勒烯对CO2的吸附行为,发现其吸附为弱的物理吸附。另外,进一步研究了外加电场作用下S@C24N24对CO2的吸附行为。结果表明,结合距离（CO2与S）和CO2的键角（O=C=O）随电场的增大而减小;当电场增加到0.018 au时,物理吸附转变为化学吸附。关闭电场时,化学吸附又转化为物理吸附。此外,即使在相同的电场条件下,S修饰C24N24富勒烯对N2的吸附也为弱的物理吸附。这表明,通过控制外加电场的开/关,S@C24N24可以从CO2/N2混合气体中选择性捕获/释放CO2,可作为选择性捕获CO2的优良候选材料。     

In situ DRIFTS研究NO在Cu-ZSM-5上的表面吸附及选择性催化还原

Cu-ZSM-5分子筛催化剂选择性催化还原NO具有较好的低温活性,在613 K时NO还原成N2的转化率达70.6%。原位漫反射红外光谱(In situ DRIFTS)是研究催化剂表面吸附物种及催化机理的重要方法,应用该方法在298～773 K范围原位考察了以C₃H₆为还原剂及富O₂ 条件下,NO在Cu-ZSM-5催化剂上的表面吸附及选择性催化还原。认为NO在Cu-ZSM-5催化剂上还原为N₂的过程中,NO以一系列NO_x吸附态形式与丙稀的活化物种(C_xH_y或C_xH_iyO_z)反应,生成有机中间体,再进一步反应,最终生成N₂。有机中间体存在一个明显的从有机胺物种到腈(或—CN)再到有机氮氧物种(R—NO₂或R—ONO)的过程,催化剂表面形成有机中间物种是关键步骤,Cu的作用是促进NO_x形成,O₂ 的作用是促进C₃H₆活化,并且是有效产生有机-氮氧化物不可缺少的条件。     

Promoting effect of tin oxides on alumina-supported gold catalysts used in CO oxidation

In this study the influence of SnO_x nanoparticles on the catalytic performance of alumina-supported gold catalysts was investigated in CO oxidation. The tin modified supports were prepared by grafting of tetraethyltin onto the surface of alumina via its hydroxyl groups. The decomposition of organometallic surface species in oxygen yielded highly dispersed tin oxide on the surface of alumina. Gold was introduced onto the tin modified alumina support by both deposition-precipitation with urea and direct anionic exchange techniques using HAuCl₄ solution. Based on catalytic and different spectroscopic measurements it is suggested that the presence of “Snⁿ⁺-Au ensemble sites” is responsible for the increased activity of these catalysts.     

DFT study of CO and NO adsorption on low index and stepped surfaces of gold

Adsorption energies and vibrational frequencies of CO and NO adsorbed on gold (1 1 1), (1 0 0), (1 1 0) and (3 1 0) surfaces, as well as on adatoms on Au(1 0 0) have been calculated using density functional theory. The results clearly show that the adsorption energy of the molecules increases considerably with increasing the degree of coordinative unsaturation of the gold atoms to which the molecules bind, and thus support the view that defects, steps and kinks on the surface determine the activity of gold catalysts.     

铜基MOF的CO氧化机理

利用第一原理密度泛函理论,研究了CO在铜基MOF(CuBTC)上氧化的反应机理.研究显示CO和O2弱吸附在轮形Cu2构筑单元铜的顶位上,并且电子从O2和CO转移到Cu,通过两个机理(Eley-Rideal机理和Langmuir-Hinshelwood机理)的研究,揭示了CO在CuBTC的氧化是准Langmuir-Hinshelwood机理,先在铜上吸附的CO和氧气先越过1.8eV的能垒形成OOCO的中间体,然后分解成CO2,同时有活性氧吸附在Cu位,活性氧与第二个CO反应生成CO2.总的来说,研究有助于理解CO在铜基MOFs的氧化.     

Cobalt anchored CN sheet boosts the performance of electrochemical CO oxidation

Single-atom catalysts(SACs) have attracted great interest due to their significant roles played in applications of environmental protection, energy conversion, energy storage, and so on. Using first-principles calculations with dispersioncorrection, we investigated the structural stability and catalytic activity of Co implanted CN sheet towards CO oxidation.The adsorption energy of CO and O_2 on the catalysts Co@CN and 2 Co@CN are close, thus preventing CO poisoning.Among three possible CO oxidation mechanisms, termolecular Eley-Rideal is the most appropriate reaction path, and the corresponding rate-limiting reaction barriers of the two systems are 0.42 eV and 0.38 eV, respectively.     

High-pressure study on the adsorption and oxidation of CO on gold/titania model catalysts

The results of an IR study on the interaction of CO/O₂ gas mixtures with planar Au/TiO₂ model catalysts at elevated pressures and at room temperature are presented. The model catalysts were prepared by deposition of a flat titania film on a Ru(0 0 0 1) substrate and subsequent evaporation of gold on the titania film. In the presence of the gas mixtures, an IR band in the CO stretching region was formed, pointing to linearly adsorbed CO. The position of this band is nearly independent of the Au coverage employed. Compared to pure CO, the IR band is shifted to higher wave numbers when CO/O₂ gas mixtures are used. Although the production of CO₂ was detected in the CO oxidation reaction on the model catalysts, the formation of other IR bands, revealing the build-up of carbonates or other side-products which is usually observed for Au/TiO₂ real powder catalysts, was very weak.     

Au_7团簇吸附O_2和CO及其对CO的催化反应机理研究

本文采用密度泛函理论,研究了Au_7团簇催化CO的氧化反应机理.研究发现,二维平面结构的Au_7团簇更容易吸附CO和O_2分子. Au_7团簇吸附一个O_2分子的吸附能为0.64 eV,但在吸附多个O_2分子时,平均吸附能有了明显的下降,表明Au_7团簇进行多吸附O_2分子的可能性不大. Au_7团簇吸附一个CO分子的吸附能为1.26 eV,且在吸附多个CO分子时,平均吸附能虽有减少,但减小的幅度不大,说明Au_7团簇有可能吸附多个CO分子.此外,在Au_7团簇催化CO的氧化反应过程中,整个反应克服的最高势垒仅为0.34 eV,说明Au_7团簇有望成为良好的CO氧化催化剂.     

CO adsorption and dissociation on iron oxide supported Pt particles

We studied CO adsorption on Pt particles deposited on well-ordered Fe₃O₄(1 1 1) thin films grown on Pt(1 1 1) by temperature programmed desorption (TPD). A highly stepped Pt(1 1 1) surface produced by ion sputtering and annealing at 600 K was studied for comparison. Structural characterization was performed by scanning tunneling microscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy. The TPD spectra revealed that in addition to the desorption peaks at ∼400 and 480 K, assigned to CO adsorbed on Pt(1 1 1) facets and low-coordination sites respectively, the Pt nanoparticles annealed at 600 K exhibit a desorption state at ∼270 K. This state is assigned to initial stages of strong metal support interaction resulting in partial Fe-Pt intermixing. On both Pt/Fe₃O₄(1 1 1) and stepped Pt(1 1 1) surfaces CO is found to dissociate at 500 K. The results suggest that CO dissociation and carbon accumulation occur on the low-coordinated Pt sites.     

Fabrication of model Pt-ceria catalysts and an analysis of their performance for CO oxidation

Model Pt-ceria catalysts have been prepared by the evaporation of Pt onto ceria (CeO₂) films grown on Si(1 1 1) substrates. Photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS, UPS) data are used to characterise the surfaces and their adsorption characteristics, and CO oxidation has been used as a probe reaction to test the activity of the model catalysts.Pure ceria is catalytically-inactive under the test conditions employed, whereas the model Pt/ceria catalysts demonstrate high activity for CO oxidation. The model catalysts also reproduce many of the characteristics of their high-surface area analogues, including the possession of a characteristic light-off temperature, hysteresis in activity as a function of temperature and a negative-order dependence on the CO partial pressure.Many aspects of the behaviour of these catalysts are shown to be a direct result of the strong adsorption of CO. The sensitivity of the dispersed Pt towards oxidation is also experimentally-demonstrated and the importance of this phenomenon is discussed.     

Study of the state of Ag and Pd in silver-palladium catalysts on a titanium dioxide substrate by IR spectroscopy of adsorbed CO

We have used IR spectroscopy of adsorbed CO to study the effect of the method for preparation of silver-palladium catalysts on a TiO₂ substrate and exposure to an oxidizing or reducing gaseous atmosphere on the state of Ag and Pd centers. We have shown that as a result of the metal-support interaction, the reducibility of the Ag and Pd particles is increased, which leads to a change in their adsorption and catalytic properties. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 74, No. 1, pp. 16–20, January–February, 2007.     

基于密度泛函理论的CO2吸附微观机理比较研究

为探究吸附法捕获CO₂过程中的微观机理和吸附剂材料间的作用关系,基于密度泛函理论方法,综合比较了典型吸附剂包括煤基官能团、Fe、限域离子液体、Na₂CO₃、SrTiO₃与CO₂的吸附过程和差异性.根据不同计算策略,着重分析比较了吸附能、结构优化参数、吸附构型以及原子分布等参数.结果表明,化学吸附中CO₂分子与吸附面呈平行关系时通常吸附能最大;在一种材料的同类型官能团中,吸附能大小与氧原子的数量呈正相关关系;吸附过程中C-O键的伸长活化会生成一种重要的中间产物CO₂^-.提出在探寻CO₂吸附材料时可以在含氧原子较多的官能团、活性金属表面等方面进一步探究.最后对基于密度泛函理论的CO₂的吸附机理的进一步研究方向进行了展望.     

Large adsorption energies for CO on Sc_n(n=2-8,13) nanoclusters

In order to seek a transition metal cluster with high ability to adsorb CO molecule, the author performs a density function theory calculation on COSc_n(n= 2–8, 13) clusters. The results demonstrate that COSc_n(n = 2–8, 13) clusters have the large adsorption energies of which the values are over 3.6 e V, and the elongations of C–O bond length exceed 20%in most calculated sizes. Adsorbing CO contributes to the improvement of the chemical activity, but reduces the magnetic moment of corresponding Scn cluster.     

Catalytic activity of Pd ensembles incorporated into Au nanocluster for CO oxidation: A first-principles study

We investigated the catalytic activity of Pd atoms incorporated into Au(111) facet through first-principles calculations, and found that the Pd monomer, dimer, and trimer are highly reactive for the reaction of CO+O₂→CO₂+Ovia association mechanism, in which an intermediate state (OOCO) is formed. Significantly, a low energy barrier (0.19-0.32 eV) was found for the formation of OOCO. The atomic oxygen left by CO+O₂→CO₂+O reaction can be removed by another CO on Pd-decorated Au cluster via Langmuir-Hinshelwood or Eley-Rideal mechanism. Our studies indicate Pd ensembles incorporated into Au(111) facet markedly improve the catalytic activity of gold nanocluster.
