The synergistic effects of the Cu-CeO2(111) catalysts on the adsorption and dissociation of water molecules

The interaction of water molecules with the Cu-CeO(2)(111) catalyst (Cu/CeO(2) and Cu(0.08)Ce(0.92)O(2)) is studied systematically by using the DFT+U method. Although both molecular and dissociative adsorption states of water are observed on all the considered Cu-CeO(2)(111) systems, the dissociation is preferable thermodynamically. Furthermore, the dissociation of water molecule relates to the geometric structure (e.g. whether or not there are oxygen vacancies; whether or not the reduced substrate retains a fluorite structure) and the electronic structure (e.g. whether or not there is reduced cerium, Ce(3+)) of the substrate.In addition, the adsorption of water molecules induces variations of the electronic structure of the substrate, especially for Cu/CeO(2-x)(111)-B (a Cu atom adsorbed symmetrically above the vacancy of the reduced ceria) and highly reduced Cu(0.08)Ce(0.92)O(2)(111), i.e. the Cu(0.08)Ce(0.92)O(2-x)(111)-h. The variations of electronic structure promote the dissociation of water for the highly reduced system Cu(0.08)Ce(0.92)O(2-x)(111)-h. More importantly, the improvement of WGS reaction by Cu-ceria is expected to be by the associative route through different intermediates.     

In situ studies of the active sites for the water gas shift reaction over Cu-CeO2 catalysts: complex interaction between metallic copper and oxygen vacancies of ceria

New information about the active sites for the water gas shift (WGS) reaction over Cu-CeO2 systems was obtained using in-situ, time-resolved X-ray diffraction (TR-XRD), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (TR-XAS, Cu K and Ce L3 edges), and infrared spectroscopy (DRIFTS). Cu-CeO2 nanoparticles prepared by a novel reversed microemulsion method (doped Ce1-xCuxO2 sample) and an impregnation method (impregnated CuOx/CeO2 sample) were studied. The results from all of the samples indicate that both metallic copper and oxygen vacancies in ceria were involved in the generation of active sites for the WGS reaction. Evidence was found for a synergistic Cu-Ovacancy interaction. This interaction enhances the chemical activity of Cu, and the presence of Cu facilitates the formation of O vacancies in ceria under reaction conditions. Water dissociation occurred on the Ovacancy sites or the Cu-Ovacancy interface. No significant amounts of formate were formed on the catalysts during the WGS reaction. The presence of strongly bound carbonates is an important factor for the deactivation of the catalysts at high temperatures. This work identifies for the first time the active sites for the WGS reaction on Cu-CeO2 catalysts and illustrates the importance of in situ structural studies for heterogeneous catalytic reactions.     

草酸盐热分解法制备CeO_2负载CuO催化剂用于CO优先氧化反应

采用草酸盐热分解-浸渍法制备了一系列不同CuO负载量的CuO/CeO_2催化剂,并将其用于CO优先氧化(PROX)研究.当CuO负载量为10%时催化剂活性最高,具有温区最宽且温度最低的CO完全转化窗口(96~160℃),并且当反应温度低于131℃时,产物中CO2选择性始终保持100%.研究结果表明,当负载少量CuO时,Cu~(2+)离子会进入CeO_2晶格形成固溶体;进一步提高CuO负载量会导致CuO在CeO_2表面聚集.对于CuO/CeO_2催化剂,形成Cu-Ce固溶体会在催化剂表面生成大量的表面氧空位和Ce3+;Ce3+则与Cu~(2+)作用产生更多的表面Cu~+,而Cu~+是CO PROX的活性中心,因此表面Ce3+含量的提高和Cu-Ce之间相互作用的增强是活性提高的主要原因.与普通沉淀-浸渍法制备的CuO/CeO_2催化剂相比,草酸盐热分解-浸渍法制备的催化剂更有利于Cu-Ce固溶体的形成,从而具有更多的表面Ce3+和更强的表面Cu-Ce相互作用,因此具有更高的CO优先氧化活性.     

CO氧化反应中的二氧化铈晶面效应

二氧化铈(CeO2)因其具有较强的储放氧能力,被用作氧化还原反应的催化材料.自2005年,研究者制备出形貌可控的CeO2纳米棒、纳米立方块和纳米多面体,在CeO2形貌控制及构效关系研究方面取得长足发展.各种结构表征手段包括原位拉曼(in situ Raman)、原位傅里叶变换红外光谱(in situ DRIFTS)、核磁共振(NMR)和电镜等被用来研究不同形貌CeO2的表面结构和在催化反应中的活性差异.一般的活性规律为CeO2纳米棒({110}/{100})>纳米立方块({100})>纳米多面体({111}/{100}).近年来,负载型CeO2催化剂因其能稳定分散金属,通过金属-载体相互作用调控界面电子结构并表现出优异的催化活性而引起广泛关注,其中晶面效应在负载型CeO2催化体系中显得较为复杂.铜铈催化剂被认为是非常经济有效的CO氧化催化剂,然而由于制备和测试条件差异导致的CeO2晶面对铜铈催化剂催化CO氧化活性的影响规律并不统一.我们之前的研究工作发现纳米棒CeO2-{110}晶面上的Cu-[Ox]-Ce结构不利于形成Cu((40)),而纳米颗粒CeO2-{111}晶面上的CuOx团簇很容易形成Cu((40)),从而对CO催化氧化极为有利,这与纯载体CeO2的规律并不一致.与此同时,对于铜负载的CeO2纳米棒(NR)及纳米立方体(NC)所体现的性质及活性差异缺少系统深入的研究.在上述工作基础上,我们采用沉积沉淀法在CeO2 NR及CeO2 NC上负载1%wt的铜分别得到1Cu CeNR和1Cu CeNC,并对所合成催化剂的结构和吸附性能进行了表征.高分辨透射电镜(HRTEM)照片显示,CeO2纳米棒主要暴露{110}晶面,而CeO2纳米立方体以{100}晶面为主.催化测试结果表明,1Cu CeNC在130℃时CO已完全转化为CO2,而相同温度下1Cu Ce NR只有50%转化.进一步通过氢气程序升温还原(H2-TPR)和一氧化碳程序升温脱附(CO-TPD)分析发现, 1Cu Ce NC催化剂具有较强的还原性且表面氧物种含量高.此外, X射线光电子能谱(XPS)和in situ DRIFTS研究表明, 1Cu Ce NC促进Cu((40))位点生成,导致活性Cu((40))-CO物种增多,这些优异的化学性质导致其具有较高的催化CO氧化活性.     

Thermodynamic, electronic and structural properties of Cu/CeO2 surfaces and interfaces from first-principles DFT+U calculations

The thermodynamic, structural and electronic properties of Cu-CeO(2) (ceria) surfaces and interfaces are investigated by means of density functional theory (DFT+U) calculations. We focus on model systems consisting of Cu atoms (i) supported by stoichiometric and reduced CeO(2) (111) surfaces, (ii) dispersed as substitutional solid solution at the same surface, as well as on (iii) the extended Cu(111)/CeO(2)(111) interface. Extensive charge reorganization at the metal-oxide contact is predicted for ceria-supported Cu adatoms and nanoparticles, leading to Cu oxidation, ceria reduction, and interfacial Ce(3+) ions. The calculated thermodynamics predict that Cu adatoms on stoichiometric surfaces are more stable than on O vacancies of reduced surfaces at all temperatures and pressures relevant for catalytic applications, even in extremely reducing chemical environments. This suggests that supported Cu nanoparticles do not nucleate at surface O vacancies of the oxide, at variance with many other metal/ceria systems. In oxidizing conditions, the solid solutions are shown to be more stable than the supported systems. Substitutional Cu ions form characteristic CuO(4) units. These promote an easy and reversible O release without the reduction of Ce ions. The study of the extended CeO(2)(111)/Cu(111) interface predicts the full reduction of the interfacial ceria trilayer. Cu nanoparticles supported by ceria are proposed to lie above a subsurface layer of Ce(3+) ions that extends up to the perimeter of the metal-oxide interface.     

Nanostructured oxide-based powders: investigation of the growth mode of the CeO2 clusters on the YSZ surface

CeO(2)/YSZ nanocomposite powders, characterized by increasing Ce/Zr atomic ratio, were obtained by depositing, by wet impregnation, different amounts of CeO(2) on the yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) surface. These powders were characterized by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Experimental results allow us to obtain interesting information concerning the growth mode, the morphology, and the dimensions of the CeO(2) clusters on the YSZ supporting surface. A 3-D growing mechanism was observed for the CeO(2) nanoparticles. With increasing Ce/Zr atomic ratio the CeO(2) clusters become more and more spherical. Moreover, XPS data also show the presence of Ce(III) and Ce(IV) ions at the interface supported/supporting oxides.
