Surface chemistry and catalytic activity of Ni/Al2O3 irradiated with high-energy electron beam

The radiation effects induced effects by electron beam (EB) treatment on the catalytic activity of Ni/γ-Al₂O₃ were studied for the carbon dioxide reforming of methane with different EB energy and absorbed radiation dose. Transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to determine the change in structure and surface states of Ni/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst before and after the EB treatment. Higher energy EB treatment is useful for increasing the proportion of the active sites (such as Ni⁰ and NiAl₂O₄-phase) on the surface. The increase of Ni/Al-ratio indicates that the Ni dispersion on the surface increased with the EB-treatment, resulting in an increase of the active sites, which leads to improving the catalytic activity. XPS measurement also showed a decrease of the surface carbon with EB dose. The maximum 20% increase in the conversion of CO₂/CH₄-mixture into CO/H₂ gas was observed for the catalyst treated with 2 MeV energy and 600 kGy dose of EB relative to untreated.     

Nickel deposition on γ-Al2O3 model catalysts: An experimental and theoretical investigation

Recently, surface modifications on a commercial Ni/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst during the production of methane from synthesis gas were investigated by quasi insitu X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) [I. Czekaj, F. Loviat, F. Raimondi, J. Wambach, S. Biollaz, A. Wokaun, Appl. Catal. A: Gen. 329 (2007) 68]. The conclusion was that the reactivity and the observed reaction mechanisms on the different Ni particles are influenced directly by both the size and the composition of the particles on the γ-Al₂O₃ support.In this investigation, Ni deposition and cluster growth on model catalyst samples (10 nm thick, polycrystalline γ-Al₂O₃ on Si(100)) were investigated by XPS. Several steps in the binding energy during Ni deposition indicate changes in the cluster growth. The molecular structure of the catalyst was investigated using Density Functional Theory calculations (StoBe) with a cluster model and non-local functional (RPBE) approach. An Al₁₅O₄₀H₃₅ cluster was selected to represent the γ-Al₂O₃(100) surface. Ni clusters of different size were cut from a Ni(100) surface and deposited on the Al₁₅O₄₀H₃₅ cluster in order to validate the deposition model determined by XPS.     

Ultrasound assisted co-precipitation synthesis and catalytic performance of mesoporous nanocrystalline NiO-Al2O3 powders

Mesoporous nanocrystalline NiO-Al₂O₃ powders with high surface area were synthesized via ultrasound assisted co-precipitation method and the potential of the selected samples as catalyst was investigated in dry reforming reaction for preparation of synthesis gas. The prepared samples were characterized by N₂ adsorption (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Temperature programmed reduction and oxidation (TPR, TPO) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The effects of pH, power of ultrasound irradiation, aging time and calcination temperature on the textural properties of the catalysts were studied. The sample prepared under specified conditions (pH10, 70 W, without aging time and calcined at 600 °C) exhibited the highest surface area (249.7 m² g⁻¹). This catalyst was calcined at different temperature and employed in dry reforming of methane and the catalytic results were compared with those obtained over the catalysts prepared by impregnation and co-precipitation methods. The results showed that the catalyst prepared by ultrasound assisted co-precipitation method exhibited higher activity and stability with lower degree of carbon formation compared to catalysts prepared by co-precipitation and impregnation methods.     

Sensitivity of styrene oxidation reaction to the catalyst structure of silver nanoparticles

This study shows how different morphologies of silver nanoparticles affect the selective oxidation of styrene in the gas phase using oxygen as oxidant. Silver nanoparticles (nanowires and nanopolyhedra), prepared using the polyol process, were supported on α-Al₂O₃. For comparison, a conventional catalyst obtained by wet impregnation was also prepared. Phenylacetaldehyde (Phe) and styrene oxide (SO) were the main products for nanoparticles catalysts. The promotion effect on the catalytic activity of potassium and cesium on the silver nanowires catalysts was also studied. At 573 K, the styrene conversion and selectivity to styrene oxide with the silver nanowires catalyst were 57.6 and 42.5%, respectively. Silver nanopolyhedra catalyst showed 57.5% conversion and 30.8% selectivity to styrene oxide. The promotion by cesium played an important role in improving the epoxidation of styrene. The samples were structurally characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and temperature programmed reduction (TPR) were applied to characterize the oxygen species detected (O_β, O_γ) on the silver surface.     

NMR imaging study of various stages of a supported catalyst preparation process: getting the qualitative and quantitative information

Supported metal and metal oxide catalysts are widely used to perform various industrial processes such as hydrogenation reactions, the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis, hydrotreatment, etc. The preparation of such catalysts often involves impregnation of a porous support with a solution containing a desired metal salt (the precursor of an active component) followed by drying, calcination, and reduction. The properties of the obtained in such a way supported catalysts depend significantly on the dispersion and distribution of the active component along the catalyst pellet radius. In this paper nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging was applied to visualize the distribution of the active component (metal) in catalyst pellets in various stages of their preparation (impregnation, drying, calcination). The possibility to get by NMR imaging the quantitative information on the distribution of the active phase in impregnated, dried, and calcined catalysts was also demonstrated on the example of the Co/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst. The preparation conditions leading to various (uniform, egg-shell, egg-white and egg-yolk) Co distributions in the calcined Co/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts were determined.     

Surface characterization of the Zn-Ni-Al2O3 nanocomposite coating fabricated under ultrasound condition

Zn-Ni-Al₂O₃ nanocomposite coating, which was fabricated by eletrodeposition technique with the aid of ultrasound, was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results reveal that 7.2 wt.% nano-alumina particles uniformly dispersed in the matrix of the composite coating. The XPS analyses demonstrate that the outermost layer of Zn-Ni-Al₂O₃ coating was composed of nano-alumina and Zn(OH)₂, while the transition layer between the outermost layer and the Zn-Ni matrix consisted of nano-alumina, metallic Zn, ZnO and metallic Ni. In order to investigate the influences of ultrasonic agitation and the incorporation of nano-alumina on the composition and surface structure of Zn-Ni matrix, the comparison studies of Zn-Ni-Al₂O₃ nanocomposite coating with Zn-Ni coatings fabricated with and without ultrasound were conducted. The results indicate that ultrasonic agitation resulted in a decrease of Ni content in the Zn-Ni matrix and an increase of the thickness of surface oxide layer; while the incorporation of nano-α-Al₂O₃ increased the Ni content in the Zn-Ni matrix.     

HIGH-YIELD PRODUCTION OF MULTI-WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES BY CATALYTIC DECOMPOSITION OF BENZENE VAPOR

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been synthesized on γ-Al₂O₃ supported unitary, binary or trinity metal (Fe, Co, Ni) catalysts with benzene as carbon source in the range of 600 to 810 ℃. The growth of CNTs was carried out in a fixed bed flow reactor and the quality of carbon deposits was characterized by transmission electron microscopy. The preparation was optimized and the high-yield production of CNTs has been achieved for three mixture catalysts with the yield of high-quality CNTs higher than 200% within 60 min, reaching a maximum of 278% for 1.51 mmol/g Fe-1.51 mmol/g Co/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst. This provides a good alternative for future large scale and low cost production of CNTs for applications.     

Microstructure and corrosion resistance behavior of ceramic coatings on biomedical NiTi alloy prepared by micro-arc oxidation

In this paper, ceramic coatings were prepared on biomedical NiTi alloys by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) in constant voltage mode. The current density-time response was recorded during the MAO process. The microstructure, element distribution and phase composition of the coatings prepared at different MAO treatment times were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS), thin-film X-ray diffraction (TF-XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The corrosion behavior of the coatings in 0.9% NaCl solution was evaluated by the potentiodynamic polarization test. It is found that the coatings become more compact with increasing the MAO treatment time, and the growth rate of coating decreases. The results of TF-XRD, EDS and XPS indicate that the coatings are composed of a large amount of γ-Al₂O₃ and a little α-Al₂O₃, TiO₂ and Ni₂O₃. The Ni content of the coatings is about 3 at.%, which is greatly lower than that of NiTi substrate. The bonding strength of coating-substrate is higher than 40 MPa for all the samples in this study. The corrosion resistance of the coatings is about two orders of magnitude higher than that of the uncoated NiTi alloy.     

Influence of transition metals (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co and Ni) on the methane combustion over Pd/Ce-Zr/Al2O3 catalyst

The effects of transition metals (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co and Ni) on the catalytic properties of Pd/Ce-Zr/Al₂O₃ catalyst for methane combustion have been investigated. The supported Pd catalysts are characterized by BET, XRD, TEM, TPR, TPO and TPSR measurements. Activity tests in methane combustion show that Pd/Ce-Zr-Ni/Al₂O₃ has the highest catalytic activity and thermal stability among all catalysts. The results of TEM show that the addition of Ni to Pd/Ce-Zr/Al₂O₃ increases the dispersion of Pd component and inhibits the site growth. The results of TPO and TPSR show that the addition of Ni inhibits the decomposition of PdO particles and improves the reduction-reoxidation properties of the active PdO species, which increases the catalytic activity and thermal stability of the Pd/Ce-Zr/Al₂O₃ catalyst.     

Hydrogenolysis of methylcyclopentane over the bimetallic Ir-Au/γ-Al2O3 catalysts

The gas-phase hydrogenolysis of methylcyclopentane (MCP) was investigated over the bimetallic Ir-Au/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts. The bimetallic systems containing the atomic Au/Ir ratios in the range of 0.125-8 and a fixed total metal content of 8 wt.%, were prepared by the sequential impregnation (SI) and co-impregnation (CI) methods. The corresponding monometallic Ir/γ-Al₂O₃ and Au/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts were also prepared. The materials were characterized by ICP, XRD, N₂ adsorption, TEM, and H₂ chemisorption. Highly dispersed Ir nanoparticles were obtained in all cases, while the size of Au nanoparticles increased (up to 50 nm) upon the increasing Au content in the catalyst. The monometallic gold catalyst did not adsorb H₂. The incorporation of Au increased the amount of irreversible adsorbed H₂ in the Ir-Au/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts with respect to the monometallic ones. The products obtained in the MCP hydrogenolysis were 2-methylpentane (2-MP), 3-methylpentane (3-MP) and n-hexane (n-H). The initial rate (molecules of MCP reacted s⁻¹ g_Ir⁻¹) increased with the Au content. The deactivation was lower for bimetallic catalysts, particularly for the CI ones. The addition of Au played a significant effect on chemisorption and catalytic properties of Ir.
