使用金属掺杂SnO2(110)作为表面催化剂的电催化CO2还原反应：通过调控Sn:O原子比例来控制产物

电催化CO₂还原反应可以产生HCOOH和CO,目前该反应是将可再生电力转化为化学能存储在燃料中的最有前景的方法之一. SnO₂作为将CO₂转换为HCOOH和CO的良好催化剂,其反应发生的晶面可以是不同的. 其中(110)面的SnO₂非常稳定,易于合成. 通过改变SnO₂(110)的Sn:O原子比例,得到了两种典型的SnO₂薄膜：完全氧化型(符合化学计量)和部分还原型. 本文研究了不同金属(Fe、Co、Ni、Cu、Ru、Rh、Pd、Ag、Os、Ir、Pt和Au)掺杂的SnO₂(110),发现在CO₂还原反应中这些材料的催化活性和选择性是不同的. 所有这些变化都可以通过调控(110)表面中Sn:O原子的比例来控制. 结果表明,化学计量型和部分还原型Cu/Ag掺杂的SnO₂(110)对CO₂还原反应具有不同的选择性. 具体而言,化学计量型的Cu/Ag掺杂的SnO₂(110)倾向于产生CO(g),而部分还原型的表面倾向于产生HCOOH(g). 此外,本文还考虑了CO₂还原的竞争析氢反应. 其中Ru、Rh、Pd、Os、Ir和Pt掺杂的SnO₂(110)催化剂对析氢反应具有较高的活性,其他催化剂对CO₂还原反应具有良好的催化作用.

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.     

CO oxidation activity of Cu–CeO2 nano-composite catalysts prepared by laser vaporization and controlled condensation

Ceria supported copper catalysts were synthesized by laser vaporization and controlled condensation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) and temperature programmed reduction (TPR). The catalytic activity of the nanopowders for CO oxidation reaction was tested in a fixed bed flow tube reactor in Ar–20%O₂–4%CO mixture. Irrespective of the copper content, the catalytic activity of the nanopowders is similar in the initial CO test, and the catalytic activity improves (i.e. the light-off temperature decreases) during a subsequent run. The lowest light-off temperature during the second run is recorded in the material with 20% copper. TEM studies on 20%Cu–CeO₂ sample in the as-prepared condition and after CO test exhibit two types of ceria particles namely, polygonal particles 3–5 nm in size and spherical particles of 15–20 nm in size. Rapid cooling of the nanoparticles formed during the laser ablation results in incorporation of a large amount of copper within the ceria as solid solution. Presence of solid solution of copper is confirmed by EDAX and electron diffraction analyses. In addition, copper-rich surface layer of Cu₂O is found over the spherical particles. The cerium oxide components are essentially identical before and after CO test, except that the polygonal CeO₂ particles contain newly formed fine crystals of CuO. TPR results reveal two reduction peaks, which further supports, the presence of two different copper species in the material. The shift in light-off temperature during the second run is attributed to the synergistic interaction between newly formed CuO crystals with the CeO₂ matrix.     

Study of flowerlike CeO2 microspheres used as catalyst supports for CO oxidation reaction

Porous flowerlike CeO₂ microspheres were synthesized via a novel hydrothermal method and were used as supports for the oxidation of CO. After loaded with Au or CuO, it exhibited an excellent low-temperature catalytic activity toward CO oxidation reaction. Especially, for the Au-loaded flowerlike CeO₂ microsphere catalyst, CO gas started its conversion into CO₂ above 80% at room temperature. The possible reasons for the superior catalytic activity of flowerlike CeO₂ microsphere catalysts were discussed.     

Synthesis, characterization and effect of calcination temperature on phase transformation and photocatalytic activity of Cu,S-codoped TiO2 nanoparticles

A novel copper and sulfur codoped TiO₂ photocatalyst was synthesized by modified sol-gel method using titanium(IV) isopropoxide, CuCl₂·2H₂O and thiourea as precursors. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive X-ray micro-analysis (SEM-EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis. The XRD results showed undoped and Cu,S-codoped TiO₂ nanoparticles only include anatase phase. Effect of calcination temperature showed rutile phase appears in 650 and 700 °C for undoped and 0.1% Cu,S-codoped TiO₂, respectively. The SEM analysis revealed the doping of Cu and S does not leave any change in morphology of the catalyst surface. The increase of copper doping enhanced “red-shift” in the UV-vis absorption spectra. The TEM images confirmed the dopants suppressed the growth of TiO₂ grains. The photocatalytic activity of samples was tested for degradation of methyl orange (MO) solutions. The results showed photocatalytic activity of the catalysts with 0.05% Cu,0.05% S and 0.1% Cu,0.05% S were higher than that of other catalysts under ultraviolet (UV) and visible irradiation, respectively. Because of synergetic effect of S and Cu, the Cu,S-codoped TiO₂ catalyst has higher activity than undoped and Cu or S doped TiO₂ catalysts.

Synthesis and characterization of Pt–Sn–Ce/MC ternary catalysts for ethanol oxidation in membraneless fuel cells

The present work represents the mesoporous carbon-supported Pt–Sn and Pt–Sn–Ce catalysts with different mass ratios have been prepared by co-impregnation reduction method. The prepared catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigation. The XRD patterns of prepared Pt/MC (100) Pt–Sn/MC (75:25), Pt–Ce/MC (75:25), and Pt–Sn–Ce/MC (75:20:05) catalysts showed that Pt metal was the predominant material in all the samples, with peaks attributed to the face-centered cubic (fcc) crystalline structures. Additionally changes in the lattice parameters observed for Pt suggest the incorporation of Sn into the Pt crystalling structure with the formation of an alloy mixture with the SnO₂ phase. The TEM analysis designates that the prepared catalysts had similar particle morphology, and their particle sizes were 2–5 nm. The electrochemical studies showed that ternary catalyst shows best performance for oxidation of ethanol molecule at normal temperature. The enhanced ethanol oxidation activity for the ternary Pt–Sn–Ce catalyst is mainly attributed to the synergistic effect of bifunctional mechanism with electronic effect. Additionally, chemical nature of ceria affords oxygen-containing molecule to oxidize acetaldehyde to acetic acid. In this present context, 1 M ethanol was used as a fuel, 0.1 M sodium perborate was used as an oxidant, and 0.5 M sulfuric acid was used as an electrolyte. In mesoporous carbon-supported binary Pt–Sn and ternary Pt–Sn–Ce anode catalysts were effectively tested in a single membraneless fuel cell at normal temperature. The presence of Sn and Ce enhances the CO oxidation; they produced an oxygen-containing species to oxidize acetaldehyde to acetic acid.     

Highly active Ce1−xCuxO2 nanocomposite catalysts for the low temperature oxidation of CO

A series of Ce_1−xCu_xO₂ nanocomposite catalysts with various copper contents were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method at low temperature without any surfactants, using mixed solutions of Cu(II) and Ce(III) nitrates as metal sources. These bimetal oxide nanocomposites were characterized by means of XRD, TEM, HRTEM, EDS, N₂ adsorption, H₂-TPR and XPS. The influence of Cu loading (5-25 mol%) and calcination temperature on the surface area, particle size and catalytic behavior of the nanocomposites have been discussed. The catalytic activity of Ce_1−xCu_xO₂ nanocomposites was investigated using the test of CO oxidation reaction. The optimized performance was achieved for the Ce_0.80Cu_0.20O₂ nanocomposite catalyst, which exhibited superior reaction rate of 11.2 × 10⁻⁴ mmol g⁻¹ s⁻¹ and high turnover frequency of 7.53 × 10⁻² s⁻¹ (1% CO balanced with air at a rate of 40 mL min⁻¹, at 90 °C). No obvious deactivation was observed after six times of catalytic reactions for Ce_0.80Cu_0.20O₂ nanocomposite catalyst.     

Ultrasound assisted synthesis of doped TiO2 nano-particles: Characterization and comparison of effectiveness for photocatalytic oxidation of dyestuff effluent

The present work deals with the synthesis of titanium dioxide nanoparticles doped with Fe and Ce using sonochemical approach and its comparison with the conventional doping method. The prepared samples have been characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), FTIR, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV–visible spectra (UV–vis). The effectiveness of the synthesized catalyst for the photocatalytic degradation of crystal violet dye has also been investigated considering crystal violet degradation as the model reaction. It has been observed that the catalysts prepared by sonochemical method exhibit higher photocatalytic activity as compared to the catalysts prepared by the conventional methods. Also the Ce-doped TiO₂ exhibits maximum photocatalytic activity followed by Fe-doped TiO₂ and the least activity was observed for only TiO₂. The presence of Fe and Ce in the TiO₂ structure results in a significant absorption shift towards the visible region. Detailed investigations on the degradation indicated that an optimal dosage with 0.8 mol% doping of Ce and 1.2 mol% doping of Fe in TiO₂ results in higher extents of degradation. Kinetic studies also established that the photocatalytic degradation followed the pseudo first-order reaction kinetics. Overall it has been established that ultrasound assisted synthesis of doped photocatalyst significantly enhances the photocatalytic activity.     

Plasma-electrolytic formation, composition and catalytic activity of manganese oxide containing structures on titanium

In the present work, we report the data about formation of TiO₂-rutile or TiO₂ and Mn₂O₃, Mn₃O₄ containing oxide structures on titanium in aqueous electrolytes by means of plasma-electrolytic deposition. The layers formed are characterized by X-ray diffraction, electron probe microanalysis and scanning electron microscopy methods. The PEO coatings on titanium formed in sodium tetraborate solution contain the TiO₂ stabile rutile modification that is important when utilizing such a structure as a catalyst carrier. Manganese acetate adding into the electrolyte leads to formation of layers that contain Mn₂O₃, Mn₃O₄ and TiO₂-rutile in outer region. The manganese content in the surface layer depends on the formation conditions as well as on manganese acetate concentration in the electrolyte. Catalytic activity of the layers in CO → CO₂ reaction is studied in the static and flow conditions. The manganese-containing layers obtained possess the catalytic activity in CO → CO₂ oxidation reaction at the temperature range of 250-350 °C. The catalytic activity depends on the concentration and surface distribution of manganese as well as on the layers morphology.
