实验证明,钴基催化剂是非常有效的F-T合成催化剂. 由于钴基催化剂对形成长链烷烃具有高活性和高选择性,故它尤其适用于天然气间接转换为液态燃料和蜡的过程[1～5]. F-T合成用钴基催化剂由四个主要成分组成: 主金属(Co)、第二过渡金属、氧化物助剂(碱金属、稀土金属或过渡金属氧化物)及大比表面积氧化物载体(氧化硅或氧化铝)[5].

 以自行制备的多壁碳纳米管(CNT)作为添加剂,制备共沉淀型CNT促进的Co-Mo-K硫化物基催化剂. 实验发现,与未添加CNT的催化剂相比,添加少量CNT可显著提高CO的加氢转化活性和生成低碳醇的选择性. 在5.0 MPa, 623 K, V(CO)∶V(H2)∶V(N2)=45∶45∶10, GHSV=3600 ml/(g·h)的反应条件下, Co1Mo1K0.3-10%CNT催化剂上CO的转化率达21.6%, 相应的总醇(C1～4醇)时空产率为241.5 mg/(g·h), 产物中C2+醇/C1醇=1.39 (C基选择性比). 添加少量CNT并不会导致Co1Mo1K0.3硫化物基催化剂上CO加氢反应表观活化能发生明显变化,但却导致工作态催化剂表面催化活性Mo物种(Mo4+)的摩尔百分率有所提高; 另一方面, CNT促进的催化剂对H2有更强的吸附活化能力,并能在相当大程度上抑制水煤气变换副反应的发生. 这些因素有利于提高催化剂的活性和选择性.

Oxygen reduction in acid media at the amorphous Mo–Os–Se carbonyl cluster coated glassy carbon electrodes

An amorphous Mo–Os–Se carbonyl cluster compound has been synthesized in 1,2-dichlorobenzene (b.p.≈180°C) to be tested as an electrocatalyst for molecular oxygen reduction in 0.5 M H₂SO₄. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) performed for the powder supported on pyrolytic carbon show a distribution of nanometer-scale amorphous particles with agglomerations in cluster forms. The catalytic activity was studied by the rotating disc electrode technique. Kinetic studies show a first-order reaction with a Tafel slope of −0.118 V dec⁻¹ and dα/dT=1.55×10⁻³ K⁻¹. In the temperature range 298–343 K, an activation energy of 32 kJ mol⁻¹ was determined.     

Effects of promoters on catalytic performance of Fe-Co/SiO2 catalyst for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis

2%Fe-10%Co/SiO₂ catalysts with different potassium or zirconium loadings were prepared by aqueous incipient wetness impregnation and tested for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis in a flow reactor, using H₂/CO = 1.6 (molar ratio) in the feed, under the condition of an overall pressure of 1 MPa, GHSV of 600 h⁻¹ and temperature of 503 K. The zirconium and potassium promoters remarkably influenced hydrocarbon distribution of the products. CO conversion increased on the catalysts with the increase of zirconium loadings, which indicated that zirconium enhanced the activity of iron-cobalt catalysts. Low potassium loadings also enhanced the activity of the catalysts. However, high potassium loading made CO conversion on the catalysts decrease and weakened the secondary hydrogenations. The catalyst was characterized by BET, XRD and TPR. The catalyst characterization revealed that the Co₃O₄ phase was presented on the fresh catalyst, whereas the spinel phase of Fe-Co alloy and CoO existed on the used catalyst.     

Selective oxidation of CO in excess hydrogen on copper—cerium-containing catalysts

Selective oxidation of CO that is in mixtures enriched in H₂ was studied to investigate catalytic properties of the 0.5—80% CuO/Ce_0.7Zr_0.3O₂ system. The catalysts were prepared by the combined decomposition of copper, cerium, and zirconyl nitrates at 300 °C. The systems studied are active and stable under mild conditions of the process (80—160 °C) and at high space velocities (to 100000 h^–1) of the reaction mixture (2% CO, 1% O₂, 40—50% H₂). With an increase in the CuO content in the catalysts up to 20%, the degree of CO removal achieves 60% (120 °C and V = 35000 h^–1) and further does not change appreciably. The contribution of oxygen participation into CO oxidation is virtually independent of the copper concentration in the sample and ranges from 65 to 75%. The dependences of the Arrhenius equation parameters for CO and H₂ oxidation on the catalyst composition were determined, which makes it possible to calculate the conversion of reactants and selectivity of CO conversion under the specified conditions of the process. The addition of CO₂ and H₂O (12—15%) to the reaction mixture decreases the catalyst activity and simultaneously increases the selectivity of CO oxidation to 100%. It is shown by the TPR and X-ray diffraction methods that the combined decomposition of the starting Cu²⁺, Ce³⁺, and ZrO²⁺ nitrates produces solid solutions of oxides with a high content of CuO. The reductive pre-treatment of fresh samples of the studied catalysts results in the destruction of the solid solution and formation of highly dispersed Cu particles on the surface of Ce—Zr—O. These particles are active in CO oxidation.     

Low temperature methanation of CO2 over an amorphous cobalt-based catalyst

CO₂ methanation is an important reaction in CO₂ valorization. Because of the high kinetic barriers, the reaction usually needs to proceed at higher temperature (>300 °C). High-efficiency CO₂ methanation at low temperature (<200 °C) is an interesting topic, and only several noble metal catalysts were reported to achieve this goal. Currently, design of cheap metal catalysts that can effectively accelerate this reaction at low temperature is still a challenge. In this work, we found that the amorphous Co–Zr_0.1–B–O catalyst could catalyze the reaction at above 140 °C. The activity of the catalyst at 180 °C reached 10.7 mmol_CO2 g_cat⁻¹ h⁻¹, which is comparable to or even higher than that of some noble metal catalysts under similar conditions. The Zr promoter in this work had the highest promoting factor to date among the catalysts for CO₂ methanation. As far as we know, this is the first report of an amorphous transition metal catalyst that could effectively accelerate CO₂ methanation. The outstanding performance of the catalyst could be ascribed to two aspects. The amorphous nature of the catalyst offered abundant surface defects and intrinsic active sites. On the other hand, the Zr promoter could enlarge the surface area of the catalyst, enrich the Co atoms on the catalyst surface, and tune the valence state of the atoms at the catalyst surface. The reaction mechanism was proposed based on the control experiments.

It is discovered that an amorphous transition metal catalyst Co–Zr0.1–B–O could effectively accelerate CO2 methanation, at a rate that is comparable to or even higher than that of some noble metal catalysts under similar conditions.     

Removal of CO from reformed fuels by selective methanation over Ni-B-Zr-Oδ catalysts

The Ni-B-Oδ andNi-B-Zr-Oδ catalysts were prepared by the method of chemical reduction, and the deep removal of CO by selective methanation from the reformed fuels was performed over the as-prepared catalysts. The results showed that zirconium strongly influenced the activity and selectivity of the Ni-B-Zr-Oδ catalysts. Over the Ni-B-Oδ catalyst, the highest CO conversion obtained was only 24.32% under the experimental conditions studied. However, over the Ni-B-Zr-Oδ catalysts, the CO methanation conversion was higher than 90% when the temperature was increased to 220 oC. Additionally, it was found that the Ni/B mole ratio also affected the performance of the Ni-B-Zr-Oδ catalysts. With the increase of the Ni/B mole ratio from 1.8 to 2.2, the CO methanation activity of the catalyst was improved. But when the Ni/B mole ratio was higher than 2.2, the performance of the catalyst for CO selective methanation decreased instead. Among all the catalysts, the Ni29B13Zr58Oδ catalyst investigated here exhibited the highest catalytic performance for the CO selective methanation, which was capable of reducing the CO outlet concentration to less than 40 ppm from the feed gases stream in the temperature range of 230–250 oC, while the CO2 conversion was kept below 8% all along. Characterization of the Ni-B-Oδ and Ni-B-Zr-Oδ catalysts was provided by XRD, SEM, DSC, and XPS.     

Application of Sol-Gel Method to Preparation of Ultra-Uniform Co-Based Catalysts for Fischer-Tropsch Reaction

Uniformly dispersed Co/SiO₂ catalysts (10–60 wt% on metal basis) were prepared by the sol-gel method, and used for the Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) synthesis in slurry phase at 503 K and 1 MPa in a flow of synthesis gas (H₂/CO = 2/1, W/F = 10 g-catal·h/mol). The catalysts were characterized by temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and chemisorption. Although CO conversion over the unpromoted catalysts prepared by the sol-gel method was lower than the conventional catalysts prepared by impregnation, the catalytic activity of the former catalysts was more stable than the latter catalysts. The conversion was improved drastically, when 0.01–1 wt% of Ir or Ru (on metal basis) was added to the catalysts prepared by the sol-gel method. The TPR and XPS spectra and the H₂ chemisorption revealed that the noble metal addition was responsible for the reduction of Co particles in the catalysts. It is supposed that the durability of the promoted catalysts prepared by the sol-gel method was ascribed to the high dispersion of Co particles stabilized on the catalyst surface.     

Synthesis of hydrocarbons from CO and H2 on SiO2 supported iron-cobalt clusters

Bimetallic catalysts (Fe+Co)/SiO₂ were prepared by impregnation of SiO₂ with solutions of carbonyl clusters [FeCo₃(CO)₁₂][(C₂H₅)₄N], [Fe₃Co(CO)₁₃][(C₂H₅)₄N], HFeCo₃(CO)₁₂, [Fe₅CoC(CO)₁₆][(C₂H₅)₄N], and Co₂(CO)₈, Fe(CO)₅. At 20 °C, no reaction occurs between the compounds supported and the surface of the support. The stability of the supported clusters to thermodecarboxylation in a hydrogen atmosphere depends on their composition and is the highest for the catalyst [FeCo₃(CO)₁₂]^–/SiO₂. The catalytic properties of supported clusters in CO hydrogenation are mostly determined by the preactivation technique. The properties of Fe-Co catalysts which were pretreated at high temperatures, are in general similar to those of standard metal catalysts. Product distribution for the same samples prepared without preactivation does not fit the Schulz-Flory equation. The catalyst HFeCo₃(CO)₁₂/SiO₂ favors the formation ofC ₁–C₁₁ hydrocarbons in the temperature range of 468–473 K; the catalyst [Fe₃Co(CO)₁₃]^–/SiO₂ gives ethylene in the temperature range of 453–473 K.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Crystal structure of tetraethylammonium bis(tetracarbonylmolybdenum)-tetrathiotungstate, [EtN][(OC)MoSWSMo(CO)] and synthesis, infrared spectra, 95 Mo NMR spectra and cyclic voltammetry of new linear trinuclear Mo(W)–S carbonyl clusters containing mixed-valence metal atoms [(OC)MSM′SM(CO)]− (M, M′=Mo or W)

Four trinuclear molybdenum(tungsten)-sulfur carbonyl cluster compounds, [Et₄N]₂[(OC)₄Mo-S₂MoS₂Mo(CO)₄] (1), [Et₄N]₂[(OC)₄WS₂WS₂W(CO)₄] (2), [Et₄N]₂[(OC)₄MoS₂WS₂Mo(CO)₄] (3), [Et₄N]₂[(OC)₄WS₂MoS₂W(CO)₄] (4) have been prepared by both reaction of [M(CO)₄(S₂CNEt₂)]⁻ with M′S₄²− in MeOH and reaction of MeCN solution of M(CO)₆ with M′S₄²− in MeOH (M=Mo, W; M′=Mo, W). These complexes has been characterized by routine elemental analysis and spectroscopy and the structures of 1 and 3 have been determined by X-ray crystallography. The structure study reveals that the anion of 3 contains a heteronuclear Mo–W–S trimetallic core, [MoS₂WS₂Mo]²−, consisting of two perpendicular rhombic MoS₂W units sharing a tungsten atom. The Mo–W bond distances are 3.028(2) and 3.031(2) Å and the Mo–W–Mo angle is 176.04(5)°. The average bond lengths of W–S and Mo–S are 2.21 and 2.54 Å, respectively. The X-ray, structure, IR, CV (cyclic voltammetry) and 95 Mo NMR studies on these four cluster complexes indicated that these cluster complexes possess wide separated oxidation states of metal atoms and exhibit the charge transfer, M^L→M^HS₄ (M^L represents a low-valance metal atom and M^H a high valence metal atom), between the two different valence metallic centers in the cluster complexes. It has been found that the charge transfer, M^L→M^HS₄, in the complexes are: 1>4, 3>2, 1>3, 4>2, 1>2 and 34 implying the electron-donation ability of low-valence metal atoms in the complexes is Mo⁰>W⁰ and the electron-accepted ability of the high valence metal atoms in the complexes is Mo^VI>W^VI.     

Influence of selenium on the catalytic properties of ruthenium-based cluster catalysts for oxygen reduction

The favourable influence of selenium on the catalytic properties of Ru-based catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction in acid electrolytes has been investigated by rotating disk electrode measurements. Compared to the oxygen reduction of selenium-free Ru-based catalysts, the overpotential at low current densities (ca. 10 μA cm⁻²) is not affected by the presence of selenium whereas selenium-containing catalysts show higher current densities under fuel cell relevant conditions. The kinetically controlled current density at 0.6 V versus SHE increases 4–5 fold with increasing selenium content. A maximum value is obtained at about 15 mol% Se. This effect is tentatively explained by a modification of the catalytic active centre, which is assumed to consist of Ru---C---CO complexes. IR spectroscopic investigations indicate a reaction of selenium with these complexes. This model is also supported by the study of the electrooxidation of CO. In contrast to the selenium-free catalyst, no CO oxidation is observed on the selenium-containing catalyst. Additional effects of selenium are an enhanced stability towards electrochemical oxidation and a lower amount of Ru oxides formed during synthesis, as evidenced from XRD investigations. Direct four electron oxygen reduction to water is efficient and H₂O₂ production of these catalysts is small (about 5% at potentials <0.3 V vs. SHE ).     

Fabrication and electrochemical properties of novel ternary Sb–Co–P alloy electrodes for lithium-ion batteries

A novel ternary Sb–Co–P alloy electrode was prepared by electroplating on copper current collector as a promising negative electrode material for lithium-ion batteries. The structural and morphological features of the Sb–Co–P alloy were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The as-prepared alloy electrode exhibits a high specific capacity and an excellent cycleability. The initial discharge and charge capacities of the Sb–Co–P alloy anode were measured 700 and 539 mA h g⁻¹, respectively. The results suggest that the Sb–Co–P alloy material obtained by the electrodeposition shows a good candidate anode material for lithium-ion batteries.
