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和O2分子与TiO2(110)表面负载Pt单原子的相互作用

Pt单原子在低温CO氧化反应中具有很高的催化活性. 利用扫描隧道显微术与密度泛函理论,研究了Pt单原子在还原性TiO₂(110)表面的吸附行为及其与CO和O₂分子的相互作用. 研究发现在80 K低温下,TiO₂表面的氧空位缺陷是Pt单原子的最优吸附位. 将CO和O₂分子分别通入Pt单原子吸附后的TiO₂表面,研究相应的吸附构型. 实验表明在低覆盖度下,单个Pt原子会俘获一个CO分子,CO分子同时与表面次近邻的五配位Ti原子(Ti_5c)成键,进而形成非对称的Pt-CO 复合物构型. 将样品从80 K升温到100 K后,TiO₂表面的CO分子会迁移到Pt-CO处形成Pt-(CO)₂的复合结构. 对于O₂分子,单个Pt原子同样会吸附一个O₂分子,O₂分子也会与最近邻或次近邻的Ti_5c原子成键形成两种Pt-O₂构型. 这些结果在单分子尺度上揭示了CO和O₂与Pt单原子的相互作用,呈现了CO与O₂反应中的初始状态.

The influence of treatment duration on multi-walled carbon nanotubes functionalized by H2SO4/HNO3 oxidation

Variation in the nature of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) subjected to different degrees of oxidation was investigated. The microstructure was determined by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods, and the surface chemistry was evaluated in terms of the functional groups determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and thermal analysis-mass spectroscopy (TA-MS). In addition, TGA was used to indicate the thermal stability of the nanotubes. Results demonstrate that the graphitic structure of nanotubes oxidized with a mild mixture of H₂SO₄/HNO₃ was preserved. Decrease in the degree of crystallinity started with widening of the C(0 0 2) XRD diffraction peak, followed by this peak shifting towards lower angles. The oxygen content increased with increasing treatment time. A defect peak incorporated in deconvolution of XPS C1s spectra was helpful for detecting the generation of defect sites. The predominant surface functionalities of the nanotubes have been changed from basic to acidic groups after treatment for one day. The samples oxidized for two days had the most abundant surface -COOH and the highest oxidation resistance. The oxidation mechanism of MWCNTs in mild H₂SO₄/HNO₃ mixture was proposed, which was a successive and iterative process, including the initial attack on active sites, and next the hexagon electrophilic attack generating new defects and introducing more oxygen, and then the tubes becoming thinner and shorter.     

Rietveld refinement and activity of CO oxidation over Pd/Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 catalyst prepared via a surfactant-assisted route

A surfactant-assisted preparation method was successfully used to synthesize the Ce_0.8Zr_0.2O₂ nanophases that had homogeneous chemical composition, enhanced thermal stability and improved catalytic activity. Structural refinement by the Rietveld method confirmed that many cationic lattice defects were formed in the ceria-zirconia crystals due to incorporation of the cationic surfactant in the network of the solid. Zirconium dissolving into cubic structure of ceria improved its thermal stability but led to structure distortion. FT-IR in situ characterization showed that CO chemisorption on the palladium loaded ceria-zirconia catalyst formed linear and multibonded CO–metal complexes. It was also evidenced that CO₂ was produced in the CO chemisorption procedure from the pathways of CO disproportionation and CO reacting with lattice oxygen of the catalyst. Owing to high dispersion of the loaded metal palladium and defective structure of the ceria-zirconia support, the Pd/Ce_0.8Zr_0.2O₂ catalyst calcined at a temperature range between 873 and 1173 K not only exhibited a more stable catalytic activity for CO oxidation but also performed a lower light-off temperature at cool start below 373 K in comparison with Pd/CeO₂.     

O2/CO2气氛下CO对煤焦异相还原NO影响的研究

为揭示O₂/CO₂燃烧过程中高浓度的CO对煤焦异相还原NO的影响,在1073 K温度下使用山西褐煤在卧式炉上进行了实验。分别对O₂/CO₂浓度比及CO浓度下NO的还原特性进行详细实验研究。研究结果表明:在O₂/CO₂气氛下,O₂浓度为30%时具有较高的还原率;相同O₂浓度下O₂/CO₂气氛较空气气氛NO还原率高,表明在CO存在的条件下,高浓度的CO₂会促进NO的还原;当CO浓度从1.5%逐渐升高时,NO的还原率逐渐降低,到CO浓度为5%时,NO还原率比没有加入CO时还要低,而在空气气氛下CO浓度的变化对NO的还原率影响较小。     

Rotational CARS for simultaneous measurements of temperature and concentrations of N2, O2, CO, and CO2 demonstrated in a CO/air diffusion flame

Rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) has over the years demonstrated its strong potential to measure temperature and relative concentrations of major species in combustion. A recent work is the development and experimental validation of a CO₂ model for thermometry, in addition to our previous rotational CARS models for other molecules. In the present work, additional calibration measurements for relative CO₂/N₂ concentrations have been made in the temperature range 294-1246 K in standardized CO₂/N₂ mixtures. Following these calibration measurements, rotational CARS measurements were performed in a laminar CO/air diffusion flame stabilized on a Wolfhard-Parker burner. High-quality spectra were recorded from the fuel-rich region to the surrounding hot air in a lateral cross section of the flame. The spectra were evaluated to obtain simultaneous profiles of temperature and concentrations of all major species; N₂, O₂, CO, and CO₂. The potential for rotational CARS as a multi-species detection technique is discussed in relation to corresponding strategies for vibrational CARS.     

Nd- or Zr-modified CuO-CeO2/Al2O3/FeCrAl monolithic catalysts for preferential oxidation of carbon monoxide in hydrogen-rich gases

This work presents a study on the role of the additives over CuO-CeO₂/Al₂O₃/FeCrAl monolithic catalysts for the preferential oxidation of CO. The monolithic catalysts were prepared by in situ combustion method and characterized using SEM, XRD and TPR techniques. The results show that the addition of neodymium or zirconium in the CuO-CeO₂/Al₂O₃/FeCrAl catalysts influences the dispersion state of copper oxide and ceria, lowers the activity of hydrogen oxidation and broadens the temperature window for total CO-conversion.
