Preparation of Porous ZrO2 and Study on Its Properties

IntroductionSolid super- strong acid SO2 -4/ Zr O2 can be usedat a high temperature,dissociated from productand reactivated easily[1— 3 ] . Researchers have madeefforts to investigate into it[4— 7] . However,it hassome shortcomings of lower specific surface area,afewer number of surface acid centers,and easyinactivation. Generally,zirconia for catalyticapplication is prepared by the calcination ofhydrous zirconia above 70 0 K,or by the hydrolysisof zirconium tetrachloride at a high tempera…     

Self-assembled colloidal crystals from ZrO2 nanoparticles

Ordered three-dimensional (3-D) assemblies of nanocrystalline zirconia were synthesized from aqueous suspensions of ZrO(2) nanoparticles without the need for hydrocarbon surfactants or solvents to control colloidal crystal growth. Nanoparticles were suspended in mild acid and subsequently titrated from low to neutral pH. The solubility was reduced as the surfaces were neutralized, promoting assembly of the nanoparticles into ordered monoliths. TEM measurements indicated the formation of three-dimensional, hexagonal faceted, micrometer-sized colloidal crystals composed of 4 nm diameter ZrO(2) nanoparticles. Lacking organic surfactants, the colloidal crystals were exceptionally robust and were sintered at high temperatures (300-500 degrees C) for further stability. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements demonstrate that the samples become progressively more amorphous above 350 degrees C, although some ordered domains of nanoparticles persist. Additionally, the heat treatment dramatically increases the surface area of the colloidal crystals as water and residual organics are desorbed, revealing highly controlled interstitial spaces and pores.     

Immobilization of palladium in mesoporous silica matrix: preparation, characterization, and its catalytic efficacy in carbon-carbon coupling reactions

Palladium(0) has been immobilized into the silica-based mesoporous material to develop catalyst Pd(0)-MCM-41, which is found to be highly active in carbon-carbon coupling reactions. [Pd(NH3)4]2+ ions have been incorporated into the mesoporous material during synthesis of MCM-41 and subsequently upon treatments with hydrazine hydrate Pd2+ ions present in mesoporous silica matrix were reduced to Pd(0) almost instantaneously. The catalyst has been characterized by small-angle X-ray diffraction, N2 sorption, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). TEM and surface area measurements clearly demonstrate that the immobilization of Pd(0) into the mesoporous silica has a significant effect on pore structure of the catalyst. Nevertheless, after immobilization of palladium the meso-porosity of the material is retained, as evidenced in the nitrogen sorption measurement. The TEM micrograph shows that both MCM-41 and Pd(0)-MCM-41 have similar types of external surface morphology; however, Pd(0)-MCM-41 was less ordered. Pd(0)-MCM-41 showed high catalytic activity toward carbon-carbon bond formation reactions like Heck and Sonogashira coupling, as evidenced in high turn-over numbers. In contrast to many other Pd-based catalysts reported so far, Pd(0)-MCM-41 acts as a truly heterogeneous catalyst in C-C coupling reactions. Notably, the new heterogeneous catalyst is found to be efficient in the activation of arylchloride to give impressive conversion in cross coupling (15-45% for Heck and 30% for Sonogashira) reactions under mild conditions.     

An investigation of submicrostructural evolution of freshly precipitated ZrO2 in digestion for ultrafine sulfated ZrO2 catalysts by SAXS technique

Coupled with XRD, BET, and TEM, the small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) technique has been effectively used to probe and characterize the submicrostructure of freshly precipitated hydrous zirconia and its evolution during digestion. It has been found that fresh hydrous zirconia particles possess an average diameter of about 5 nm and rather rough surfaces describable in terms of fractal concepts. The digestion of zirconia precipitates at 100 degrees C with their mother liquors may remarkably smooth the particles' rough surface and provoke fractal aggregation of the particles but make little change in average particle dimensions. A local dissolution-reprecipitation mechanism is regarded as a basic process to accompany particle surface smoothing, particle aggregation, and coarsening at the neck areas between joint particles, which may greatly strengthen the particle networks and enhance their resistance to crumbling while calcinated at high temperatures. On the basis of the submicrostructural features unraveled by SAXS, a coherent and significant physical picture has been raised out to demonstrate and interpret the relationship underlying the submicrostructure, the surface area variation, and the heating behavior of hydrous zirconia precipitates.     

Hydrodechlorination of 4-Chlorophenol on Pd-Fe Catalysts on Mesoporous ZrO2SiO2 Support

A mesoporous support based on silica and zirconia (ZS) was used to prepare monometallic 1 wt% Pd/ZS, 10 wt% Fe/ZS, and bimetallic FePd/ZS catalysts. The catalysts were characterized by TPR-H₂, XRD, SEM-EDS, TEM, AAS, and DRIFT spectroscopy of adsorbed CO after H₂ reduction in situ and tested in hydrodechlorination of environmental pollutant 4-chlorophelol in aqueous solution at 30 °C. The bimetallic catalyst demonstrated an excellent activity, selectivity to phenol and stability in 10 consecutive runs. FePd/ZS has exceptional reducibility due to the high dispersion of palladium and strong interaction between FeOx and palladium, confirmed by TPR-H₂, DRIFT spectroscopy, XRD, and TEM. Its reduction occurs during short-time treatment with hydrogen in an aqueous solution at RT. The Pd/ZS was more resistant to reduction but can be activated by aqueous phenol solution and H₂. The study by DRIFT spectroscopy of CO adsorbed on Pd/ZS reduced in harsh (H₂, 330 °C), medium (H₂, 200 °C) and mild conditions (H₂ + aqueous solution of phenol) helped to identify the reasons of the reducing action of phenol solution. It was found that phenol provided fast transformation of Pd⁺ to Pd⁰. Pd/ZS also can serve as an active and stable catalyst for 4-PhCl transformation to phenol after proper reduction.     

单斜及四方晶相ZrO2催化CO加氢反应性能的比较

研究了以纯单斜（ｍ）和四方（ｔ）晶相ＺｒＯ２为催化剂的ＣＯ加氢反应．尽管两种晶相催化剂均有较高的低碳烯烃的选择性,但是也发现了两者催化性能的显著差别．ｍ－ＺｒＯ２催化剂对异丁烯有突出的选择性,而ｔ－ＺｒＯ２催化剂,则只有乙烯和丙烯,几乎没有Ｃ４烯烃的选择性．室温下ＣＯ吸附的原位ＩＲ谱测试可见,只有在ｔ－ＺｒＯ２催化剂上观测到不可逆含氧吸附物种．吡啶吸附的Ｒａｍａｎ谱显示出它们之间表面性质的差别,ｍ－ＺｒＯ２催化剂表面存在等强度的Ｌｅｗｉｓ和Ｂｒｏｎｓｔｅｄ酸中心,而在ｔ－ＺｒＯ２催化剂表面几乎只有Ｂｒｏｎｓｔｅｄ酸中心．催化过程的一些模型分子电子结构计算也表明了ＺｒＯ２催化剂对低碳烯烃选择性内在的电子结构条件．我们推测ＣＯ在ｍ－ＺｒＯ２催化剂表面的孪式吸附物种可能是导致异丁烯产物的根源     

三维有序大孔二氧化钛表面超细钯纳米颗粒的构筑及其增强柴油炭烟催化燃烧性能（英文）

柴油机排放颗粒物(主要成分是炭烟)是城市大气PM2.5中一次颗粒物的主要来源和二次颗粒物形成的重要组分,严重危害大气环境和人类健康.利用颗粒物捕集器与催化剂相结合的连续过滤再生技术是满足柴油车国VI炭烟颗粒物排放标准的最有效技术,目前该技术所面临的挑战是研发在排气温度的柴油炭烟颗粒物催化氧化催化剂.柴油炭烟催化燃烧反应的本质是典型的气(氧气)-固(炭烟颗粒)-固(催化剂)三相深度氧化反应,因此我们研究组提出了高活性柴油炭烟燃烧催化剂设计应该遵循优化固-固接触与强化活化分子氧能力二者相结合的研究思路.为满足此设计思路的要求,本课题组前期采用孔径大于200 nm的三维有序大孔(3DOM)结构氧化物作为载体,利用大孔效应来实现PM在催化剂内部的有效扩散,从而提高催化剂与PM的接触效率.采用具有强活化分子氧能力的负载型贵金属(Au,Pt)纳米颗粒或贵金属-氧化物复合纳米颗粒作为活性位来提高催化剂对分子氧的活化能力,进而设计了多个系列高活性催化剂,并形成了担载贵金属纳米颗粒的可控制备方法与装置.然而,Au和Pt昂贵的价格限制了其广泛应用.价格相对便宜的Pd具有与Pt相似的催化性能,是其良好替代品.但是,目前关于3DOM氧化物表面负载型Pd纳米颗粒结构和尺寸与柴油炭烟催化燃烧性能之间的相关研究仍然较少.基于此,本文采用气泡辅助膜还原法制备了3DOM二氧化钛(TiO_2)担载超细Pd纳米颗粒催化剂.利用XRD,Raman,BET,SEM,TEM,ICP,XPS和H2-TPR等技术手段对催化剂进行表征,并以模拟柴油炭烟为研究对象,利用程序升温氧化反应(TPO)对催化剂的活性进行评价,深入探讨了催化剂的制备、结构及物化性质与炭烟催化燃烧反应性能之间的关系.XRD和Raman结果表明,TiO_2载体由锐钛矿(主)和金红石(次)两种物相组成.SEM照片显示,所制催化剂为规整的有序大孔结构,球形孔互相贯通,孔径均一,大孔腔平均尺寸为280 nm,孔窗尺寸为109 nm,这种三维有序大孔TiO_2的结构能够增强炭烟颗粒与催化剂之间的接触效率.TEM表征显示,平均粒径为1.1 nm的超细半球型Pd纳米颗粒高度分散于TiO_2载体的内壁上,两者间的优化界面面积有利于增加活化O2的活性位密度,这些活性位源于Pd与TiO_2间强相互作用.H2-TPR和XPS表征印证了上述观点,具有1.1 nm超细Pd颗粒的Pd/3DOM-TiO_2催化剂表现出强的低温氧化还原特性和丰富的表面吸附氧物种.在TPO测试中,相对于担载5.0 nm Pd颗粒的催化剂,具有1.1 nm尺寸超细Pd颗粒的Pd/3DOM-TiO_2催化剂展示了高的催化炭烟燃烧活性,T10,T50和T90分别为295,370和415 oC,且在5次TPO测试过程中表现出良好的催化和结构稳定性.这种具有3DOM结构和超细Pd纳米颗粒的纳米催化剂能够有效降低Pd的使用量,在催化炭烟燃烧的实际应用中大有潜力.     

Pd-Cu/ZrO2催化CO2加氢制甲醇的性能

采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了n(Cu):n(Zr)=1:1、1:2、1:4和1:8的Cu/ZrO₂催化剂。 实验结果表明,当n(Cu):n(Zr)=1:4时,催化剂表现出较高的CO₂转化率(8.0%)和甲醇选择性(59.5%),为了增加CO₂的转化率,提高甲醇选择性,在n(Cu):n(Zr)=1:4的催化剂中添加质量分数1%的Pd,采用浸渍法制备了Pd-Cu/ZrO₂催化剂。 在250 ℃、2 MPa、12000 mL/(g·h)和V(H₂):V(CO₂)=3:1的反应条件下,CO₂转化率和CH₃OH收率相比Cu/ZrO₂催化剂(n(Cu):n(Zr)=1:4)分别提高了40.0%和80.9%。 通过X射线衍射仪(XRD)、傅里叶变换红外光谱仪(FT-IR)、N₂吸附-脱附(BET)、X射线光电子能谱仪(XPS)和程序升温还原化学吸附仪(H₂-TPR)等仪器表征证明Pd的添加提高了催化剂的分散性和比表面积。 催化剂中Pd和Cu之间强相互作用,使Cu2p轨道结合能向低处偏移,还原温度的降低,说明Pd-Cu/ZrO₂催化剂还原能力增强,使得CO₂加氢活性提高。     

"Polysiloxane-Pd" nanocomposites as recyclable chemoselective hydrogenation catalysts

Polysiloxane-encapsulated "Pd"-nanoclusters were generated by reduction of Pd(OAc)(2) with polymethylhydrosiloxane, which functions as a reducing agent as well as a capping material for production and stabilization of catalytically active "Pd"-nanoparticles. Chemoselective hydrogenation of functional conjugated alkenes was achieved by in-situ- or ex-situ-generated polysiloxane-stabilized "Pd"-nanoclusters under mild reaction conditions in high yields. Electron microscopy, UV-vis, and NMR studies of the reaction mixture during the catalytic transformation were performed and, in conjunction with catalyst poisoning experiments, demonstrated unequivocally the role of polysiloxane-encapsulated "Pd"-nanoclusters as the real catalytic species. The recyclability of the "Pd"-nanoclusters was established by reusing the solid left after the reaction.     

Preparation of high surface area ZrO2 and ZrO2-Y2O3 from the alkoxide

In order to obtain a catalyst support with a high surface area, ZrO₂ and ZrO₂-Y₂O₃ were prepared by the hydrolytic decomposition of the corresponding isopropoxide dissolved in benzene. The hydrolysis was carried out at 80°C using an excess amount of distilled water in flowing dry nitrogen. The precipitates thus obtained were dried at 100°C followed by calcination at 500°C in air or nitrogen for 1 h. The specific surface areas for both of the ZrO₂ and ZrO₂-Y₂O₃ increased with increasing amount of water added for hydrolysis, and the surface areas for ZrO₂-Y₂O₃ increased with increasing yttrium content. A ZrO₂ having a surface area of 130 m²/g was produced, and a stabilized tetragonal ZrO₂ with 15 mol% Y³⁺ having a surface area of 200 m²/g was produced. Furthermore, despite the difference in the ZrO₂ and ZrO₂-Y₂O₃ crystal structures, the lattice-strain of ZrO₂ has been unequivocally related to the surface area.     

Genesis of coordinatively unsaturated palladium complexes dissolved from solid precursors during Heck coupling reactions and their role as catalytically active species

The Forum Article critically summarizes investigations and discussions on the nature and role of potential active species in C-C coupling reactions of the Heck type using catalyst systems with "ligand-free" inorganic salts, simple inorganic complexes, and supported and nonsupported (colloidal) Pd particles. From a series of experiments and reports, it can be concluded that the "active species" is generated in situ in catalytic systems at higher temperature conditions (>100 degrees C). In all heterogeneous systems with solid Pd catalysts, Pd is dissolved from the solid catalyst surface under reaction conditions by a chemical reaction (complex formation and/or oxidative addition of the aryl halide), forming extremely active coordinatively unsaturated Pd species. Pd is partially or completely redeposited onto the support at the end of the reaction when the aryl halide is used up. The Pd dissolution-redeposition processes correlate with the reaction rate and are strongly influenced by the reaction conditions. Skilled preparation of the catalyst and careful adjustment of the reaction conditions allowed the development of highly active heterogeneous catalysts (Pd/C, Pd/metal oxide, and Pd/zeolite), converting aryl bromides and aryl chlorides in high yields and short reaction times. Reaction conditions have been developed allowing the conversion of bromobenzene with turnover numbers (TONs) of 10(7) and even of unreactive aryl chlorides (chlorobenzene and chlorotoluene) in high yields with simple "ligand-free" Pd catalyst systems like PdCl2 or Pd(OH)2 in the absence of any organic ligand. Simple coordinatively unsaturated anionic palladium halide (in particular, bromo) complexes [PdXn](m-) play a crucial role as precursor and active species in all ligand-free and heterogeneous catalyst systems and possibly in Heck reactions at all.     

稀土改性对SO42-/ZrO2固体酸催化剂结构与催化性能的影响

Preparation and Evaluation of Octadecyl-Bonded ZrO2/SiO2

ZrO₂/SiO₂ particles, which were prepared by a layer-by-layer self-assemble technique and consist of micrometer-sized silica spheres as cores and nanometer-sized zirconia particles as surface coatings, have a higher surface area and pore volume than other zirconia supports have. Further more it is more stable than silica is. In this paper we made a reversed-phase support by bonding octadecyltrichlorosilane on ZrO₂/SiO₂ particles, it had a comparable high carbon amount of 9.62% and good chemical stability being stable up to pH 11. The chromatographic behavior showed that the support acted as a true reversed chromatographic stationary phase and had a hydrophobic selectivity. Basic and aromatic compounds are well separated and the peaks are symmetrical.     

Preparation of Pd/C catalyst for formic acid oxidation using a novel colloid method

A novel colloid method using (WO₃)_n·xH₂O as colloidal source was developed to prepare Pd/C catalyst for formic acid oxidation. Transmission electron microscopy image shows that the Pd/C nanoparticles have an average size of 3.3 nm and a narrow size distribution. Electrochemical measurements indicate that the Pd/C catalyst exhibits significantly high electrochemical active surface area and high catalytic activity with good stability for formic acid oxidation compared with that prepared by common method. The colloid method is very simple and has great potentials for mass-producing Pd/C and others noble metal catalysts.     

Modeling of the adsorption and desorption of CO2 on Cu/ZrO2 and ZrO2 catalysts

The interaction between carbon dioxide and two zirconia catalysts-a Cu/ZrO2 catalyst containing 34% copper and a pure ZrO2 catalyst-was studied by pulse adsorption and temperature-programmed desorption methods. Kinetic modeling by nonlinear regression was applied to acquire information on the adsorption and desorption of CO2 relevant in the synthesis of methanol from carbon dioxide. A model that included three types of adsorption sites described well the experimental data for both Cu/ZrO2 and ZrO2. The model assumed first-order kinetics and a Freundlich-type logarithmic dependence of adsorption enthalpy on surface coverage. The parameters of the model were well identified and were in the physically meaningful range. The results indicate that, at 30 degrees C, on both catalysts, carbon dioxide adsorbs reversibly on one type of site and irreversibly on two other types of sites.

La2O3对Pd/Al2O3催化蒽醌氢化制H2O2性能的影响

 采用湿浸法制备了用于蒽醌氢化制H2O2的La2O3促进的Pd/Al2O3催化剂,并考察了不同La2O3含量对催化性能的影响. 采用XRD,N2物理吸附,CO2-TPD,H2-O2滴定和电子探针等技术对催化剂进行了表征. 结果表明,加入适量的La2O3能够抑制高温焙烧时Al2O3晶粒的长大,增大催化剂的比表面积,提高金属Pd的分散度,增强载体表面碱性,提高催化剂表面的Pd浓度,减小Pd层厚度,从而提高催化剂的氢化活性. 加入La2O3可使催化剂的Pd负载量由0.281%降至0.188%,而催化剂活性提高了44%.     

费-托合成Co/ZrO2-Al2O3催化剂反应性能的研究
