处理方法对多壁碳纳米管结构及负载Ru催化剂氨分解反应活性的影响

分别用H2O2、强碱（NaOH、KOH）和HNO3处理CNTs。以处理后的CNTs为载体、通过浸渍RuCl3水溶液结合高温H2还原制备Ru/CNTs催化剂,并将其应用在氨分解催化反应中。利用XRD、TPR、TPD-MS表征手段研究了Ru在CNTs表面的分散、还原性能及CNTs表面化学基团,探究催化剂结构-性能间构效关系。结果表明,强碱及双氧水处理CNTs,为其表面引入了数量适宜的羧基、酸酐、酚等官能团,而传统硝酸处理则引入了大量的羧基、酸酐、酯、内酯、酚、醌和羰基等官能团,对CNTs本征结构性质影响很大。经强碱及双氧水处理CNTs上负载Ru后所得催化剂的效果明显优于传统硝酸处理CNTs上负载Ru催化剂。本研究为CNTs的新型处理方法、表面化学官能团分析、提高Ru/CNTs催化分解氨活性提供了新的思路。

硝酸水热处理活性炭对其负载的Ba-Ru-K氨合成催化剂性能的影响

采用N2物理吸附、Boehm滴定、He-TPD-MS、CO化学吸附和透射电镜等手段考察了硝酸水热处理对活性炭(AC)及其负载的Ru基催化剂的孔结构、表面含氧基团、Ru分散度的影响,并评价了Ba-Ru-K/AC催化剂氨合成反应性能.结果表明,经硝酸水热处理后,AC表面含氧基团明显增多,但其孔结构变化不大.随着水热处理硝酸浓度的增加,AC表面含氧基团的数量增加,而相应催化剂的Ru分散度有所降低,Ru粒子尺寸增大.当硝酸浓度为2.0mol/L时,Ru分散度较高,且粒子尺寸(2.0nm)适宜,分散均匀,因此催化剂活性较高.在10MPa和10000h1条件下,400和375oC时,出口氨浓度分别达到17.80%和11.10%,较4.6mol/L硝酸回流处理AC负载的Ru基催化剂分别提高了16.8%和21.3%.水热处理AC的适宜条件为硝酸浓度2.0mol/L,150oC处理4h,填充度为70%.因此,通过调节水热处理时所用硝酸浓度可有效调控AC表面含氧基团的数量及其负载Ru的粒子尺寸.     

快速功能化碳纳米管载 Pt 催化剂的醇氧化性能(英文)

采用HF刻蚀及交替微波加H2O2相结合的方法进行快速功能化碳纳米管(CNTs),应用红外光谱、拉曼光谱和透射电镜等方法详细考察了CNTs及其载Pt催化剂的物化性质,并采用循环伏安法、线性电流扫描法和计时电流法考察了所得催化剂的电化学性能.结果表明,CNTs经过HF刻蚀和交替微波H2O2双重处理后更适合用作催化剂载体,以10s-on/20s-off加热5次所得CNTs载Pt催化剂显示出最佳的催化性能.这可归因于处理后的CNTs表面含有丰富的微孔及含氧官能团,能有效增强Pt颗粒及CNTs间的相互作用.

催化臭氧氧化降解邻苯二甲酸二甲酯中催化剂构效关系

采用传统焙烧和微波辐射制备了不同活性炭 (AC) 负载 Ru 催化剂, 并用于催化臭氧氧化降解邻苯二甲酸二甲酯 (DMP) 反应中, 探讨了催化剂的构效关系. 结果表明, 所有 AC 和催化剂均能提高臭氧氧化 DMP 过程中 TOC (总有机碳) 去除率, 其活性顺序为 Ru/coal-AC > nutshell-AC > Ru/nutshell-AC > Ru/coconut-AC ≈ coal-AC > coconut-AC. 负载的 Ru 颗粒扩散到 AC 大孔中, 增加了反应的传质阻力, 使得反应物与 AC 内表面的活性位和金属 Ru 的接触机会减少, 这是 Ru/nutshell-AC 和 Ru/coconut-AC 活性低于 Ru/coal-AC 的一个原因; 催化剂表面 Ru 分散度也是导致其活性差别的原因之一. 微波加热引起 nutshell-AC 表面活性官能团发生变化, 从而导致其负载的 Ru 催化活性降低. 相对于传统焙烧, 微波辐射热处理能够提高 coal-AC 表面 Ru 的分散度, 从而提高催化剂活性.

Homogeneous hydrogels made with acrylic acid,acrylamide and chemically functionalized carbon nanotubes

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) chemically functionalized were used to synthesize a series of novel nanocomposite hydrogels by in situ polymerization with acrylic acid (AA) and acrylamide (AM). A novel strategy was developed to prepare these hydrogels. CNTs were functionalized following a three-step chemical procedure: (i) purified carbon nanotubes (CNTs_p) were partially surface oxidized to obtain CNTs with hydroxyl, carbonyl and carboxyl groups on their sidewalls (CNTs_oxi), (ii) CNTs_oxi were reacted with oxalyl chloride to obtain CNTs functionalized with acyl chloride groups (CNTs_OCl), and (iii) CNTs_OCl were reacted with acrylic acid (AA). The product, AA modified CNTs_OCl (CNTs_OCl-AA) was used to prepare the (CNTs_OCl-AA-AM) nanocomposite hydrogels, where anhydride groups were tethered to the surface of the CNTs_OCl-AA. The swelling process in water was evaluated as a consequence of the anhydride group hydrolysis, which broke some chemical links between CNTs_OCl-AA and crosslinked AA-AM network. Equilibrium-swelling values of all hydrogels increased as the content of AA increased and were larger for AA-AM hydrogels than for CNTs_OCl-AA-AM nanocomposite hydrogels. Young’s moduli of CNTs_OCl-AA-AM nanocomposite hydrogels prepared with 1 or 2?wt.% AA, reached larger values than those measured for AA-AM hydrogels. This tendency was reversed when the AA content was raised to 3?wt.%.     

Controlled surface functionalization of carbon nanotubes by nitric acid vapors generated from sub‐azeotropic solution

Controlled surface modification of nanocarbons is crucial for their use in applications. The paper deals with the functionalization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with HNO₃ vapors. Sub‐azeotropic HNO₃ + H₂O + Mg(NO₃)₂ solution is used for the generation of nitric acid vapors. Because this approach allows tuning the HNO₃ concentration in the vapor phase, the effect of its variation on the surface chemistry and structural properties of the CNTs is investigated. A combination of analytical techniques is applied to evaluate oxidation extent of the CNT surface, selectivity towards the formation of carboxyl groups compared with other oxygenated functionalities, and CNT integrity. The comparison with liquid‐phase functionalization in H₂SO₄ + HNO₃ mixture (1 : 3–3 : 1 v/v), conventionally utilized for oxidizing CNTs, shows that vapor‐phase functionalization affords greater surface oxygen uptakes and higher selectivity towards the formation of carboxyl groups, with smaller tube damage; more importantly, it evidences that, regardless of the method and conditions chosen, the selectivity towards carboxyl groups increases linearly with the surface oxygen concentration. The presented results prove that the product of HNO₃ concentration in the vapor‐phase (25–93 wt%) and vapor‐phase functionalization duration (0.5–5 h) controls the surface oxygen concentration. A simple rate model is proposed to account for its increase. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Understanding the oxygen-containing functional groups on multiwall carbon nanotubes toward supercapacitors

Typical functionalization treatment by strong acid is used to introduce functional groups into/onto the multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), to enhance the desired redox activity for electrochemical applications. The influence of various functional groups on the redox of MWCNT has been studied in recent years. Different functional groups on MWCNT can be removed selectively using different thermal annealing temperatures. By this method, it is recognized that carboxyl, anhydride, and phenol groups play essential roles in the redox reaction. A designed carboxyl/anhydride-rich defective MWCNT is fabricated with a superior specific areal capacitance of 34.55 mF/cm². These results provide more information for the study of the MWCNTs' electrochemical applications toward supercapacitors and batteries.     

Efficient Non‐dissociative Activation of Dinitrogen to Ammonia over Lithium‐Promoted Ruthenium Nanoparticles at Low Pressure

There is an exciting possibility to decentralize ammonia synthesis for fertilizer production or energy storage without carbon emission from H₂ obtained from renewables at small units operated at lower pressure. However, no suitable catalyst has yet been developed. Ru catalysts are known to be promoted by heavier alkali dopants. Instead of using heavy alkali metals, Li is herein shown to give the highest rate through surface polarisation despite its poorest electron donating ability. This exceptional promotion rate makes Ru–Li catalysts suitable for ammonia synthesis, which outclasses industrial Fe counterparts by at least 195 fold. Akin to enzyme catalysis, it is for the first time shown that Ru–Li catalysts hydrogenate end‐on adsorbed N₂ stabilized by Li⁺ on Ru terrace sites to ammonia in a stepwise manner, in contrast to typical N₂ dissociation on stepped sites adopted by Ru–Cs counterparts, giving new insights in activating N₂ by metallic catalysts.     

Direct Synthesis of Phenol from Benzene on an Activated Carbon Catalyst Treated with Nitric Acid

Commercially available coal-based activated carbon was treated by nitric acid with different concentrations and the resultant samples were used as catalysts for the direct hydroxylation of benzene to phenol in acetonitrile. Boehm titration, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope coupled with an energy dispersive X-ray microanalyzer, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method were used to characterize the samples. The number of carboxyl groups on the surface was found to be the main factor affecting the catalytic activity. An optimum catalytic performance with a yield of 15.7% and a selectivity of 87.2% to phenol was obtained.

Stability of hydrogen peroxide during perhydrolysis of carboxylic acids on acidic heterogeneous catalysts

This paper describes a study of the stability of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of different aluminosilicate materials, in connection with an investigation of carboxylic acid perhydrolysis. During the reaction, aluminosilicate materials such as H-β zeolites, mesoporous material H-MCM-41 and alumina initiate the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The reason of the spontaneous decomposition of H₂O₂ is related to the partial dealumination of these zeolites. However, in the case of experiments carried out with H-ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts, a slight catalytic effect on the perhydrolysis and no spontaneous decomposition of hydrogen peroxide were noticed. The use of cation exchange resins as catalysts is more kinetically beneficial than H-ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts.     

Polymer-Modified Silica Adsorbent with Reversed-Phase and Weak Cation-Exchange Groups

Micro-spherical silica gel has been modified with a polymer containing two different functional groups (C₁₈ and COOH) by use of a copolymer of octadecyl methacrylate and butyl acrylate and introduction of maleic anhydride. The chromatographic properties of these stationary phases in reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) have been studied over a broad pH range. Introduction of maleic anhydride as the third component of the polymer layer on the surface of micro-spherical silica leads to repartitioning of C₁₈ groups, which affects the hydrophobicity of the materials obtained. The presence of maleic anhydride secures the availability of carboxyl groups on the surface, and thus the acidic properties of the material.     

Effect of supports for the direct oxidation of benzene to phenol over supported FeCl3 catalyst

The effect of supports on oxidation of benzene to phenol with hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant was tested by using supported FeCl₃ as catalysts. Their activities were affected by acid-base properties of supports. Silica gel which gave strong acid site near the active site had the highest activity among the investigated supports. Several kinds of silica gel which had different pore sizes were used. The maximum activity was obtained at the pore size of 3.5 nm and the reason was discussed.
