Ho改性的Mn-Ce/TiO2催化剂低温脱硝性能的评价和表征

作为引起酸雨、光化学烟雾、雾霾等大气污染问题的主要根源,氮氧化物(NOx)的防治已成为亟待解决的问题.选择性催化还原技术作为最成熟有效的脱硝技术,目前已经被广泛应用于各燃煤电厂.低温脱硝催化剂具有优秀的低温活性,使得脱硝装置可以安放在脱硫装置和除尘装置下游,受到了学者广泛的研究.目前低温脱硝催化剂的研究主要是对催化剂进行改性以提高催化剂的性能,已有许多研究报道了Sn、Ni、Co、Zr、Cr、Ni等对催化剂的改性影响.Ho作为一种改性元素被应用于光催化领域,能提高TiO2的光催化能力.但Ho应用于脱硝领域的研究鲜有报道,其氧化物具有酸性位点有助于脱硝反应,因此研究Ho对低温SCR催化剂的改性作用具有重要意义.本文采用浸渍法制备Ho掺杂的Mn-Ce/TiO2催化剂,研究了Ho的掺杂对于Mn-Ce/TiO2催化剂低温脱硝性能的影响,同时还研究了烟气中的SO2和H2O对催化剂活性的影响,并利用XPS、XRD、H2-TPR、NH3-TPD等表征方法从物理性质和化学性质两方面对Ho改性的影响机理进行了研究.研究发现,Ho的掺杂能提高Mn-Ce/TiO2催化剂的脱硝能力,有助于催化剂N2选择性的提高.分析表明,Ho的掺杂有助于催化剂比表面积的提升,且能提高催化剂的酸性,有利于催化剂对NH3的吸附,从而提高催化剂的性能.XPS表征结果表明Ho掺杂后的催化剂具有更高的化学吸附氧浓度和较高的Mn4+/Mn3+比例, 使得脱硝反应更容易进行.改性后催化剂的抗水抗硫实验结果表明,Ho的掺杂能够提高催化剂的抗水抗硫性能.XRD结果表明,抗水抗硫实验后催化剂表面形成了硫酸铵盐,硫酸铵盐的形成会堵塞催化剂表面的活性位,限制脱硝反应的进行,从而影响催化剂的脱硝活性.同时,400°C下进行再生实验后的催化剂活性有所恢复,但是未能达到抗水抗硫实验前的活性,表明在抗水抗硫实验中催化剂表面形成了除硫酸铵盐以外的其他硫酸盐类.结合XPS和XRD表征结果,推断生成的盐类物质为硫酸锰和硫酸铈,从而导致再生后的催化剂的脱硝活性无法恢复到最初的活性水平.由此可以看出,硫酸盐的形成是催化剂在含硫气氛中失活的主要原因.     

Interface-controlled synthesis of CeO2(111) and CeO2(100) and their structural transition on Pt(111)

Ceria-based catalytic materials are known for their crystal-face-dependent catalytic properties. To obtain a molecular-level understanding of their surface chemistry, controlled synthesis of ceria with well-defined surface structures is required. We have thus studied the growth of CeO_x nanostructures (NSs) and thin films on Pt(111). The strong metal-oxide interaction has often been invoked to explain catalytic processes over the Pt/CeO_x catalysts. However, the Pt-CeO_x interaction has not been understood at the atomic level. We show here that the interfacial interaction between Pt and ceria could indeed affect the surface structures of ceria, which could subsequently determine their catalytic chemistry. While ceria on Pt(111) typically exposes the CeO₂(111) surface, we found that the structures of ceria layers with a thickness of three layers or less are highly dynamic and dependent on the annealing temperatures, owing to the electronic interaction between Pt and CeO_x. A two-step kinetically limited growth procedure was used to prepare the ceria film that fully covers the Pt(111) substrate. For a ceria film of ~3–4 monolayer (ML) thickness on Pt(111), annealing in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) at 1000 K results in a surface of CeO₂ (100), stabilized by a c-Ce₂O₃(100) buffer layer. Further oxidation at 900 K transforms the surface of the CeO₂(100) thin film into a hexagonal CeO₂(111) surface.

DFT study into the reaction mechanism of CO methanation over pure MoS2

Mo‐based catalysts are commonly used in the direct methanation of CO; however, no integrated mechanism has been proposed due to limits in characterizing the nano‐sized active structures of MoS₂. Thus, we report our investigation into the mechanism of CO methanation over pure MoS₂ through density functional theory simulations, considering that only MoS₂ edge sites exhibit catalytic activity. Simulations revealed the presence of (010) and (110) surfaces on the MoS₂ edges. Both surfaces are reconstructed by the redistribution of surface sulfur atoms upon exposure to H₂/H₂S, and after sulfur coverage redistribution, S vacancies are generated for CO hydrogenation. The reaction mechanisms on both surfaces are discussed, with the S‐edge being better suited to CO methanation than Mo‐edge on the (010) surface. The rate‐controlling step differs between surfaces, and corresponds to the initial activation reaction, which was achieved more easily on the (110) surface.

C-I共掺杂多孔g-C3N4光催化分解水制氢

氢气是一种可替代传统燃料的理想清洁能源,利用光催化技术分解水制氢是制取氢气的有效途径之一.无机半导体光催化材料具有较高的活性和稳定性,且原料丰富,易加工改性.目前针对光催化技术的应用,大量的研究工作都集中在开发可见光响应光催化剂,以提高对可见光的利用率.同时,非金属聚合物半导体因其特殊的光电性质,在光催化应用研究中越来越受到关注,如庚嗪基微孔聚合物(HMP)和共价三嗪基骨架(CTF).石墨相碳化氮(g-C3N4)是一种典型非金属二维聚合物半导体,被认为是一种非常有价值的光催化材料.然而,其较低的光生电子的传输效率限制了其实际应用,因此诸多研究对g-C3N4的物理化学结构进行优化,如半导体耦合、共聚合、纳米结构设计和掺杂.非金属掺杂是一种有效的方法,由于原子电负性差异引起的电荷分离可有效改善载流子传输效率,且保持半导体的非金属性质.通过O,B,P和S等掺杂可以扩大可见光响应范围,并调节能带位置以改善光催化活性.除了常见的单一非金属掺杂,金属和非金属元素或多非金属元素共掺杂的办法同样可提高g-C3N4的光催化性能.本工作通过两步法对双氰胺、尿素和碘化1-乙基-3-甲基咪唑的混合物直接热聚合,合成C-I共掺杂的多孔g-C3N4,其在可见光照射下表现出较高的产氢活性和稳定性.采用X射线衍射(XRD)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、荧光光谱(PL)和电化学实验等方法对多孔掺杂g-C3N4结构进行详细表征和分析.在助催化剂Pt和电子牺牲剂(三乙醇胺)存在的条件下,采用可见光(>400 nm)照射分解水产氢的方法评价其光催化活性.结果表明,后热处理和碘离子液掺杂对g-C3N4材料的结构和性能具有较大影响.C-I共掺杂和后热处理使催化剂产物颗粒尺寸减小,形成多孔片层状紧密堆积,比表面积和孔隙率显著增加,吸收带边发生蓝移.后热处理使样品层间距减小,聚合度增加,有利于电荷传输,C-I共掺杂后出现更多的缺陷,但没有改变其层状堆积的特性.XPS结果表明,样品中碘元素以I-和I5+的形式存在,改性后催化剂C/N比明显增加,sp2芳环N含量增加,表面氨基含量降低,表明后热处理和C-I共掺杂没有改变多孔g-C3N4的基本骨架,共轭结构更加完善.PL和光电流结果表明,改性后样品的PL强度均显著降低,并且随着掺杂量的增加而逐渐降低,表明共掺杂可抑制光生电荷的复合.电化学测试结果表明,后热处理和C-I共掺杂的样品界面电荷转移电阻降低,导电率和电荷迁移率增加,从而有助于提高光催化性能.光解水产氢性能测试表明,后热处理和C-I共掺杂有利于催化剂产氢速率的提高,改性后CNIN0.2的产氢速率达168.2μmol/h,是纯氮化碳的9.8倍.经过多次循环测试,其产氢性能保持稳定而没有显著下降,表明其产氢稳定性较好.     

Chemical deactivation of Cu-SAPO-18 deNOx catalyst caused by basic inorganic contaminants in diesel exhaust

Contaminants (K, Na, Ca, and Mg) were introduced into Cu-SAPO-18 via incipient wetness impregnation to investigate their effect on the selective catalytic reduction of NO_x with NH₃ (NH₃-SCR) over Cu-SAPO-18. After the introduction of contaminants into Cu-SAPO-18, the quantity of acidic sites and Cu²⁺ species in catalyst decreases owing to the replacement of H⁺ and Cu²⁺ by K⁺, Na⁺, Ca²⁺, and Mg²⁺. Furthermore, the loss of isolated Cu^{2+ induces the generation of CuO and CuAl₂O₄-like phases, which causes further loss in the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area of the catalyst. Consequently, the deNO_x performance of the contaminated Cu-SAPO-18 catalysts drops. Such decline in NH₃-SCR performance becomes more pronounced by increasing the contaminant contents from 0.5 to 1.0 mmol/g_catal. In addition, the deactivation influence of the contaminants on Cu-SAPO-18 is presented in the order of K> Na > Ca > Mg, which is consistent with the order of reduction of acidic sites. To a certain degree, the effect of the acidic sites on the deactivation of Cu-SAPO-18 might be more significant than that of isolated Cu2+ and the catalyst framework. Moreover, kinetic analysis of NH₃-SCR was conducted, and the results indicate that there is no influence of contaminants on the NH₃-SCR mechanism.}     

Cobalt-promoted MoS2 nanosheets: A promising novel diesel hydrodesulfurization catalyst

MoS₂ has been commonly used as a catalyst in hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of petroleum cuts in crude oil refineries. In this study, the synthesis of unsupported MoS₂ and Co-promoted MoS₂ nanosheets produced from molybdenum oxide and thiourea is reported. The synthesized samples were characterized by using x-ray fluorescence, x-ray diffraction, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), temperature-programmed reduction, thermal gravimetric analysis, and transmission electron microscopy methods, and then they were utilized for HDS of diesel through a fixed-bed catalytic reactor. Results indicated that a cobalt promoter affected both the number and the performance of active sites of the molybdenum sulfides, and the activity of the promoted MoS₂ catalyst was consistently higher than that of the MoS₂ catalyst. More significantly, the activity of the promoted catalyst was slightly declined during 48 h continuous HDS reaction, which indicated the stability of this catalyst. Additionally, during 12 h of test run, the HDS activity of the promoted catalyst was about 60% higher than MoS₂ one.     

Interpretation of the difference of optimal Mo density in MoS<Subscript>2</Subscript>-Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> and MoS<Subscript>2</Subscript>-TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> HDS catalysts

The first part of this paper deals with the morphology of the MoS₂ phase and its oxide precursor, the MoO₃ phase, mainly from a geometrical point of view. After giving a brief review of the literature describing the structure of these compounds, Mo densities in both phases were calculated along various crystallographic planes. Further, using structural models recently proposed by others, Mo densities in MoS₂ were also calculated in the case of an epitactic growth on γ-Al₂O₃ and TiO₂ model surfaces. Then, the calculated Mo densities were compared with experimental results (Mo density when HDS activity is maximal) previously obtained for catalysts constituted of MoS₂ supported on a low SSA TiO₂, a high SSA TiO₂ and a conventional γ-alumina. It was suggested that either on alumina or titania the MoS₂ phase is growing as (100) MoS₂ planes. However, while on the alumina the optimal MoS₂ phase might be constituted of dispersed MoS₂ slabs covering only a part of the alumina surface (2.9–3.9 Mo atoms/nm²), on titania the optimal MoS₂ phase might be constituted of a uniform MoS₂ monolayer (5.2 atoms/nm² for the high SSA titania, which is equal to the Mo density of a perfect MoS₂ (100) plane). This difference may originate in the creation of a 'TiMoS' phase enhancing the S atoms mobility over Mo/TiO₂-sulfided catalysts. Indeed, while in the case of a γ-alumina carrier the active sites (labile S atoms) are located on the edge of MoS₂ slabs making the ratio Mo_edge/Mo_total a crucial parameter for the catalytic performances, in the case of a titania carrier the labile sulfur atoms might be statistically distributed all over the TiMoS active phase. Further, the higher Mo density observed over the high SSA titania (5.2 atoms/nm²) when compared to that over the low SSA titania (4.2 atoms/nm²) was supposedly due to the pH-swing method advantageously used to prepare the former carrier. Indeed, this method allows giving a solid with enhanced mechanical properties providing a good stability to the derived catalysts under experimental conditions. In addition, this TiO₂ carrier exhibits a great homogeneity, with a surface structure substantially uniform, which might be adequate for a long-range growth of (100) MoS₂ slabs.     

Ni nanoparticles as electron-transfer mediators and NiSx as interfacial active sites for coordinative enhancement of H2-evolution performance of TiO2

The development of efficient photocatalytic H₂-evolution materials requires both rapid electron transfer and an effective interfacial catalysis reaction for H₂ production. In addition to the well-known noble metals, low-cost and earth-abundant non-noble metals can also act as electron-transfer mediators to modify photocatalysts. However, as almost all non-noble metals lack the interfacial catalytic active sites required for the H₂-evolution reaction, the enhancement of the photocatalytic performance is limited. Therefore, the development of new interfacial active sites on metal-modified photocatalysts is of considerable importance. In this study, to enhance the photocatalytic evolution of H₂ by Ni-modified TiO₂, the formation of NiS_x as interfacial active sites was promoted on the surface of Ni nanoparticles. Specifically, the co-modified TiO₂/Ni-NiS_x photocatalysts were prepared via a two-step process involving the photoinduced deposition of Ni on the TiO₂ surface and the subsequent formation of NiS_x on the Ni surface by a hydrothermal reaction method. It was found that the TiO₂/Ni-NiS_x photocatalysts exhibited enhanced photocatalytic H₂-evolution activity. In particular, TiO₂/Ni-NiS_x(30%) showed the highest photocatalytic rate (223.74 μmol h^?1), which was greater than those of TiO₂, TiO₂/Ni, and TiO₂/NiS_x by factors of 22.2, 8.0, and 2.2, respectively. The improved H₂-evolution performance of TiO₂/Ni-NiS_x could be attributed to the excellent synergistic effect of Ni and NiS_x, where Ni nanoparticles function as effective mediators to transfer electrons from the TiO₂ surface and NiS_x serves as interfacial active sites to capture H⁺ ions from solution and promote the interfacial H₂-evolution reaction. The synergistic effect of the non-noble metal cocatalyst and the interfacial active sites may provide new insights for the design of highly efficient photocatalytic materials.
