Co3O4-CeO2氧化物对丙烷完全氧化的催化性能（英文）

挥发性有机化合物(VOCs)是全球大气污染物的主要来源,近年来已造成严重的环境问题.催化氧化是一种有效的、经济可行的VOCs去除技术,其研究的关键在于开发高效、稳定的催化剂.在本文中,我们采用柠檬酸法合成了一系列具有不同Co/(Ce+Co)摩尔比的Co3O4-CeO2二元氧化物催化剂,研究了其对丙烷(低碳VOCs)的催化氧化性能.在催化活性测试中,反应气的组成为0.2 vol.%C3H8和5 vol.%O2,Ar为平衡气,气体总流速为200 mL min^-1.实验结果表明,Ce的掺入能够明显提高Co3O4的丙烷催化氧化性能,Co3O4-CeO2催化剂的丙烷催化氧化活性顺序为CoCeOx-70>CoCeOx-90>Co3O4>CoCeOx-50>CoCeOx-20>CeO2.当Co/(Ce+Co)摩尔比为70%时,CoCeOx-70催化剂的丙烷催化氧化性能最好.在丙烷转化率达到90%时,CoCeOx-70催化剂的反应温度为310℃(GHSV=120000mL h^-1 g^-1),相比于单一的Co3O4催化剂的反应温度降低了25℃.XRD和TEM表征结果显示,在Co3O4-CeO2二元氧化物催化剂中存在Co3O4和CeO2两种晶型,同时随着Ce的掺入,催化剂的粒径明显降低.Raman光谱图显示,Ce的掺入使催化剂的晶格发生畸变,促进催化剂表面氧空位的产生,为催化剂中氧的迁移提供晶格位点.H2-TPR和C3H8-TPSR结果表明,Co3O4与CeO2间存在相互作用,能够提高催化剂的低温还原性能,以促进催化剂的丙烷催化氧化.O2-TPD和O 1s XPS结果表明,Ce的掺入能够增加催化剂表面活性氧物种的产生,提高催化剂中氧的移动性,从而提高了催化剂对丙烷的催化氧化活性.在对Co3O4和CoCeOx-70催化剂进行in-situ DRIFTS表征和简单的动力学研究,我们发现Ce的掺入不改变催化剂的丙烷催化氧化反应路径,其存在能够促进丙烷在催化剂表面的吸附和活化,以提高催化剂的丙烷催化氧化活性.同时,丙酮和酯作为中间物参与到丙烷的催化氧化反应过程中.此外,我们考察了反应气氛中水蒸气和CO2的存在对催化剂催化性能的影响.结果表明,CO2和水蒸气的存在都抑制了催化剂的丙烷催化氧化活性,催化性能随着CO2和水蒸气浓度的增加而降低.在相同条件下,水蒸气对催化剂催化性能的抑制作用明显大于CO2的抑制作用,但这种抑制作用会随着反应气中水蒸气和CO2的消失而消失.在稳定性测试中,CoCeOx-70催化剂表现出优异的抗水蒸气和CO2性能.在反应气中存在5 vol.%水蒸气和5 vol.%CO2的条件下,CoCeOx-70催化剂在50 h的稳定性测试中均未出现明显的失活现象.同时,经过10次加热和降温循环测试后,催化剂的催化活性也没有发生明显变化,这为CoCeOx-70催化剂的未来工业化的应用提供了可能.     

CeO2-MOx (M=La3+, Ca2+)改性Pd/γ-Al2O3催化甲烷燃烧性能

采用沉积-沉淀法制备了固溶体CeO2-MOx(M=La3+, Ca2+)改性的Pd/γ-Al2O3催化剂, 利用XRD、Raman和XPS对催化剂进行了表征. 结果表明, 金属(M)离子进入CeO2的晶格, 形成CeO2-MOx固溶体, Raman谱上463 cm-1处对应于Ce—O键的F2g对称伸缩振动强度降低. 其中, 样品Pd/γ-Al2O3-CeO2-CaO在615 cm-1处出现一小峰, 样品Pd/γ-Al2O3-CeO2-La2O3在320 cm-1处出现的肩峰, 都表明固溶体CeO2-MOx的形成使O2-亚晶格结构对称性降低. XPS分析表明, 固溶体改性的Pd/γ-Al2O3催化剂中Pd 的3d5/2结合能比正常价态的PdO的结合能高出0.5-0.6 eV, 形成了一种高度离子化的, 与载体具有强相互作用的Pd物种. 催化甲烷燃烧实验证明, 固溶体CeO2-MOx(M=La3+, Ca2+)改性的Pd/γ-Al2O3催化剂的低温活性和稳定性均高于未经改性的Pd/γ-Al2O3催化剂和仅用CeO2改性的Pd/γ-Al2O3催化剂, 在空速为50000 h-1时, 可使1%CH4-99%空气(体积分数)混合气中甲烷的10%转化温度降至254 ℃, 转化率100%时的转化温度降至340 ℃.     

Influence of ceria modification on the properties of TiO2-ZrO2 supported V2O5 catalysts for selective catalytic reduction of NO by NH3

TiO(2)-ZrO(2) (hereafter denoted as Ti-Zr) supported V(2)O(5) catalysts with different loadings of CeO(2) were synthesized, and their physicochemical properties were characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (in situ FT-IR) and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR). Their catalytic activities toward the NO(x) reduction reaction with NH(3) were tested. We found that with the addition of CeO(2), more NO was removed in a wide temperature range of 220-500 °C. As the CeO(2) content was increased from 10% to 20% (i.e., the molar ratio of Ce to Ti-Zr), NO conversion increased significantly; after that, increasing CeO(2) content, however, decreased NO conversion. In particular, the addition of CeO(2) to V(2)O(5)/Ti-Zr suppressed the coke deposition and rendered a stable and high catalytic activity. The characterization results indicated that: (1) the deposited vanadium and cerium oxides were highly dispersed over the Ti-Zr support, and in addition to ZrV(2)O(7), a common binary compound observed in V(2)O(5)/Ti-Zr, CeVO(4) and Ce(3)ZrO(8) was formed upon increasing CeO(2) content; (2) the introduction of CeO(2) to V(2)O(5)/Ti-Zr sample promoted the redox ability of the resulting catalysts; and (3) the Ce-containing catalysts possessed the greater amount of surface acidic and active intermediate.     

V2O5-CeO2/TiO2催化剂上低温氨选择性催化还原NO的性能

考察了V2O5-CeO2/TiO2催化剂中V、Ce活性组分的担载量和焙烧温度对催化剂低温催化还原NO活性的影响及其在单独SO2、H2O和两者共存气氛下的抗毒化性能。结果表明,焙烧温度400℃下制备的5V30Ce/TiO2催化剂具有良好的低温催化还原NO活性,空速为10000h-1,165℃时NO转化率达99.2%;500℃以下低焙烧温度时,添加的Ce不与V相互作用,在催化剂表面主要以CeO2形式存在,有利于增大催化剂比表面积,增强V2O5在催化剂上的分散度,提高催化活性。而在500℃以上较高焙烧温度下,Ce与V会形成CeVO4,对活性提高不利。催化剂具有良好的低温抗水中毒性能,但受SO2毒化作用明显,其在SO2、H2O共存气氛下中毒程度较单独SO2下浅。     

CeO2-MOx（M=La^3＋,Ca^2＋）改性Pd/γ-Al2O3催化甲烷燃烧性能

采用沉积-沉淀法制备了固溶体CeO2-MOx=(M=La3+,Ca2+)改性的Pd/γ-Al2O3催化剂,利用XRD、Raman和XPS对催化剂进行了表征.结果表明,金属(M)离子进入CeO2的晶格,形成CeO2-MOx固溶体,Raman谱上463cm-1处对应于Ce-O键的F2g对称伸缩振动强度降低.其中,样品Pd/γ-Al2O3CeO2-CaO在615 cm-1处出现一小峰,样品Pd/γ-Al2O3-CeO2-La2O3在320cm-1处出现的肩峰,都表明固溶体CeO2-MOx的形成使O2-亚晶格结构对称性降低.XPS分析表明,固溶体改性的Pd/γ-Al2O3催化剂中Pd的3d5/2结合能比正常价态的PdO的结合能高出0.5-0.6 eV,形成了一种高度离子化的.与载体具有强相互作用的Pd物种.催化甲烷燃烧实验证明,固溶体CeO2-MOx(M=La3+,Ca2+)改性的Pd/γ-Al2O3催化剂的低温活性和稳定性均高于未经改性的Pd/γ-Al2O3催化剂和仅用CeO2改性的Pd/γAl2O3催化剂,在空速为50000 h-1时,可使1%CH4-99%空气(体积分数)混合气中甲烷的10%转化温度降至254℃,转化率100%时的转化温度降至340℃.     

Enhanced reducibility of Ce1-xTixO2 compared to that of CeO2 and higher redox catalytic activity of Ce1-x-yTixPtyO2-delta compared to that of Ce1-xPtxO2-delta

Nanocrystalline Ce(1)(-)(x)Ti(x)O(2) (0 < or = x < or = 0.4) and Ce(1-)(x)(-)(y)Ti(x)Pt(y)O(2)(-)(delta) (x = 0.15, y = 0.01, 0.02) solid solutions crystallizing in fluorite structure have been prepared by a single step solution combustion method. Temperature programmed reduction and XPS study of Ce(1)(-)(x)Ti(x)O(2) (x = 0.0-04) show complete reduction of Ti(4+) to Ti(3+) and reduction of approximately 20% Ce(4+) to Ce(3+) state compared to 8% Ce(4+) to Ce(3+) in the case of pure CeO(2) below 675 degrees C. The substitution of Ti ions in CeO(2) enhances the reducibility of CeO(2). Ce(0.84)Ti(0.15)Pt(0.01)O(2)(-)(delta) crystallizes in fluorite structure and Pt is ionically substituted with 2+ and 4+ oxidation states. The H/Pt atomic ratio at 30 degrees C over Ce(0.84)Ti(0.15)Pt(0.01)O(2)(-)(delta) is 5 and that over Ce(0.99)Pt(0.01)O(2)(-)(delta) is 4 against just 0.078 for 8 nm Pt metal particles. Carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon oxidation activity are much higher over Ce(1-)(x)(-)(y)Ti(x)Pt(y)O(2) (x = 0.15, y = 0.01, 0.02) compared to Ce(1)(-)(x)Pt(x)O(2) (x = 0.01, 0.02). Synergistic involvement of Pt(2+)/Pt degrees and Ti(4+)/Ti(3+) redox couples in addition to Ce(4+)/Ce(3+) due to the overlap of Pt(5d), Ti(3d), and Ce(4f) bands near E(F) is shown to be responsible for improved redox property and higher catalytic activity.     

掺杂助剂Ce和Zr的Ni/Al2O3催化剂的X光电子能谱分析

以Na2CO3为沉淀剂,在pH 9.0的沉淀条件下,采用并流沉淀法制备了Ni/Al2O3、Ni/CeO2-Al2O3、Ni/ZrO2-Al2O3和Ni/ZrO2-CeO2-Al2O34种催化剂,催化剂中Ni负载量(质量分数)为10%。采用XPS表征手段及常压固定床反应器对催化剂进行活性评价,考察了助剂Ce和Zr及二者的协同作用对Ni基催化剂表面物种结合能的影响以及对甲烷自热重整制氢反应性能的影响。结果表明,助剂Ce和Zr的添加及二者的协同作用对Ni基催化剂表面各物种的结合能均有一定的影响,结合评价结果可知,Ce和Zr二者的协同作用对Ni基催化剂的催化性能提高最大。     

Methane reforming With CO2 to syngas over CeO2-promoted Ni/Al2O3-ZrO2 catalysts Prepared Via a direct sol-gel process

CeO2-promoted Ni/Al2O3-ZrO2 (Ni/Al2O3-ZrO2-CeO2) catalysts were prepared by a direct sol-gel process with citric acid as gelling agent. The catalysts used for the methane reforming with CO2 was studied by infrared spectroscopy (IR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), microscopic analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR). The catalytic performance for CO2 reforming of methane to synthesis gas was investigated in a continuous-flow micro-reactor under atmospheric pressure. TGA, IR, XRD and microscopic analysis show that the catalysts prepared by the direct sol-gel process consist of Ni particles with a nanostructure of around 5 nm and an amorphous-phase composite oxide support. There exists a chemical interaction between metallic Ni particles and supports, which makes metallic Ni well dispersed, highly active and stable. The addition of CeO2 effectively improves the dispersion and the stability of Ni particles of the prepared catalysts, and enhances the adsorption of CO2 on the surface of catalysts. The catalytic tests for methane reforming with CO2 to synthesis gas show that the Ni/Al2O3-ZrO2-CeO2 catalysts show excellent activity and stability compared with the Ni/Al2O3 catalyst. The excellent catalytic activity and stability of the Ni/Al2O3-ZrO2-CeO2 are attributed to the highly, uniformly and stably dispersed small metallic Ni particles, the high reducibility of the Ni oxides and the interaction between metallic Ni particles and the composite oxide supports.     

Textural, structural, and morphological characterizations and catalytic activity of nanosized CeO(2)-MO(x) (M=Mg(2+), Al(3+), Si(4+)) mixed oxides for CO oxidation

The present work focuses on the combination of ceria with another oxide of different ionic valences from period 3 (Mg(2+), Al(3+), and Si(4+)) using coprecipitation method, followed by calcination at 450 and 750°C, respectively. The textural, structural, morphological and redox properties of nanosized ceria-magnesia, ceria-alumina and ceria-silica mixed oxides have been investigated by means of N(2) physisorption, XRD, Raman, HRTEM, DRS, FT-IR, and H(2)-TPR technologies. XRD results of these mixed oxides reveal that only nanocrystalline ceria (ca. 3-6nm for the 450°C calcined samples) could be observed. The grain size of ceria increases with the increasing calcination temperature from 450 to 750°C due to sintering effect. The highest specific surface area is obtained at CeO(2)-Al(2)O(3) mixed oxides when calcination temperature reaches 750°C. Raman spectra display the cubic fluorite structure of ceria and the existence of oxygen vacancies, and displacement of oxygen ions from their normal lattice positions in the ceria-based mixed oxides. DRS measurements confirm that the smaller the grain size of the ceria, the higher indirect band gap energy. H(2)-TPR results suggest that the reductions of surface and bulk oxygen of ceria were predominant at low and high calcination temperature, respectively. Finally, CO oxidation were performed over these ceria-based mixed oxides, and the combination of CeO(2)-Al(2)O(3) exhibited highest activity irrespective of calcination temperature, which may due to excellent textural/structural properties, good homogeneity, and redox abilities.     

Sonochemical synthesis of Ce(1-x)Fe(x)O(2-δ) (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.45) and Ce(0.65)Fe(0.33)Pd(0.02)O(2-δ) nanocrystallites: oxygen storage material, CO oxidation and water gas shift catalyst

Nanocrystalline Ce(1-x)Fe(x)O(2-δ) (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.45) and Ce(0.65)Fe(0.33)Pd(0.02)O(2-δ) of ~4 nm sizes were synthesized by a sonochemical method using diethyletriamine (DETA) as a complexing agent. Compounds were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Ce(1-x)Fe(x)O(2-δ) (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.45) and Ce(0.65)Fe(0.33)Pd(0.02)O(2-δ) crystallize in fluorite structure where Fe is in +3, Ce is in +4 and Pd is in +2 oxidation state. Due to substitution of smaller Fe(3+) ion in CeO(2), lattice oxygen is activated and 33% Fe substituted CeO(2)i.e. Ce(0.67)Fe(0.33)O(1.835) reversibly releases 0.31[O] up to 600 °C which is higher or comparable to the oxygen storage capacity of CeO(2)-ZrO(2) based solid solutions (Catal. Today 2002, 74, 225-234). Due to interaction of redox potentials of Pd(2+/0)(0.89 V) and Fe(3+/2+) (0.77 V) with Ce(4+/3+) (1.61 V), Pd ion accelerates the electron transfer from Fe(2+) to Ce(4+) in Ce(0.65)Fe(0.33)Pd(0.02)O(1.815), making it a high oxygen storage material as well as a highly active catalyst for CO oxidation and water gas shift reaction. The activation energy for CO oxidation with Ce(0.65)Fe(0.33)Pd(0.02)O(1.815) is found to be as low as 38 kJ mol(-1). Ce(0.67)Fe(0.33)O(1.835) and Ce(0.65)Fe(0.33)Pd(0.02)O(1.815) have also shown high activity for the water gas shift reaction. CO conversion to CO(2) is 100% H(2) specific with these catalysts and conversion rate was found to be as high 27.2 μmoles g(-1) s(-1) and the activation energy was found to be 46.4 kJ mol(-1) for Ce(0.65)Fe(0.33)Pd(0.02)O(1.815).     

Thermochemistry of Sr2Ce(1-x)Pr(x)O4 (x = 0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8, and 1): variable-temperature and -atmosphere in-situ and ex-situ powder X-ray diffraction studies and their physical properties

A novel family of metal oxides with a chemical formula of Sr(2)Ce(1-x)Pr(x)O(4) (x = 0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8, and 1) was developed as mixed oxide ion and electronic conductors for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). All of the investigated samples were synthesized by the ceramic method at 1000 °C in air and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Ex-situ PXRD reveals that the Sr(2)PbO(4)-type Sr(2)CeO(4) decomposes readily into a mixture of perovskite-type SrCeO(3) and rock-salt-type SrO at 1400 °C in air. Surprisingly, the decomposed products are converted back to the original Sr(2)PbO(4)-type Sr(2)CeO(4) phase at 800 °C in air, as confirmed by in-situ PXRD. Thermal decomposition is highly suppressed in Sr(2)Ce(1-x)Pr(x)O(4) compounds for Pr > 0, suggesting that Pr improves the thermal stability of the compounds. Rietveld analysis of PXRD and SAED supported that both Pr and Ce ions are located on the 2a site in Pbam (space group no. 55). The electrical transport mechanism could be correlated to the reduction of Pr and/or Ce ions and subsequent loss of oxide ions at elevated temperatures, as shown by TGA and in-situ PXRD. Conductivity increases with Pr content in Sr(2)Ce(1-x)Pr(x)O(4). The highest total conductivity of 1.24 × 10(-1) S cm(-1) was observed for Sr(2)Ce(0.2)Pr(0.8)O(4) at 663 °C in air.     

Transformation of proton-conducting Perovskite-type into fluorite-type fast oxide ion electrolytes using a CO2 capture technique and their electrical properties

Fast oxide ion conducting Ce 1- x M x O 2-delta (M = In, Sm; x = 0.1, 0.2) and Ce 0.8Sm 0.05Ca 0.15O 1.825 were prepared from the corresponding perovskite-like structured materials with nominal chemical composition of BaCe 1- x M x O 3-delta and BaCe 0.8Sm 0.05Ca 0.15O 2.825, respectively, by reacting with CO 2 at 800 degrees C for 12 h. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis showed the formation of fluorite-type CeO 2 and BaCO 3 just after reaction with CO 2. The amount of CO 2 gained per ceramic gram was found to be consistent with the Ba content. The CO 2 reacted samples were washed with dilute HCl and water, and the resultant solid product was characterized structurally and electrically employing various solid-state characterization methods, including PXRD, and alternating current (ac) impedance spectroscopy. The lattice constant of presently prepared Ce 1- x M x O 2-delta and Ce 0.8Sm 0.05Ca 0. 15O 1.825 by a CO 2 capture technique follows the expected ionic radii trend. For example, In-doped Ce 0.9In 0.1O 1.95 (In (3+) (VIII) = 0.92 A) sample showed a fluorite-type cell constant of 5.398(1) A, which is lower than the parent CeO 2 (5.411 A, Ce (4+) (VIII) = 0.97 A). Our attempt to prepare single-phase In-doped CeO 2 samples at 800, 1000, and 1500 degrees C using the ceramic method was unsuccessful. However, we were able to prepare single-phase Ce 0.9In 0.1O 1.95 and Ce 0.8In 0.2O 1.9 by the CO 2 capture method from the corresponding barium perovskites. The PXRD studies showed that the In-doped samples are thermodynamically unstable above 800 degrees C. The ac electrical conductivity studies using Pt electrodes showed the presence of bulk, grain-boundary, and electrode contributions over the investigated temperature range in the frequency range of 10 (-2)-10 (7) Hz. The bulk ionic conductivity and activation energy for the electrical conductivity of presently prepared Sm- and (Sm + Ca)-doped CeO 2 samples shows conductivities similar to those of materials prepared by the ceramic method reported in the literature. For instance, the conductivity of Ce 0.8Sm 0.2O 1.9 using the CO 2 capture technique was determined to be 4.1 x 10 (-3) S/cm, and the conductivity of the same sample prepared using the ceramic method was 3.9 x 10 (-3) S/cm at 500 degrees C. The apparent activation energy of the area-specific polarization resistance for the symmetric cell (Sm,Sr)CoO 3- x |Ce 0.8Sm 0.2O 1.9|(Sm,Sr)CoO 3- x was determined to be 1 eV in air.     

Stability and structural evolution of Ce(IV)(1-x)Ln(III)(x)O(2-x/2) solid solutions: a coupled μ-Raman/XRD approach

Several CeO(2)-based mixed oxides with general composition Ce(1-x)Ln(x)O(2-x/2) (for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 and Ln = La, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Er, or Yb) were prepared using an initial oxalic precipitation leading to a homogeneous distribution of cations in the oxides. After characterization of the Ce/Nd oxalate precursors and then thermal conversion to oxides at T = 1000 °C, investigation of the crystalline structure of these oxides was carried out by XRD and μ-Raman spectroscopy. Typical fluorite Fm ?3m structure was obtained for relatively low Ln(III) contents, while a cubic Ia ?3? superstructure was evidenced above x ≈ 0.4. Moreover, since Nd(2)O(3) does not crystallize with the Ia ?3?-type structure, two-phase systems composed with additional hexagonal Nd(2)O(3) were obtained for x(Nd) ≥ 0.73 in the Ce(1-x)Nd(x)O(2-x/2) series. The effect of heat treatment temperature on these limits was explored through μ-Raman spectroscopy, which allowed determining the presence of small amounts of the different crystal structures observed. In addition, the variation of the Ce(1-x)Ln(x)O(2-x/2) unit cell parameter was found to follow a quadratic relation as a result of the combination between increasing cationic radius, modifications of cation coordination, and decreasing O-O repulsion caused by oxygen vacancies.     

Hydrothermal Preparation and Oxygen Storage Capacity of Nano CeO2-based Materials

"catalysts were synthesized by hydrothermal method. The X-ray diffraction result showed that the averageparticle size was in the range of 11-12 nm, which was correspondence to the high-resolution transmission electron microscopy result that the average particle size was about 12 nm. The specific surface area of the NiO-CeO2 binary compounds was in the range of 54-75 m2/g. Also the average particle size of the Bi2O3-CeO2 binary compounds was in the range of 8-11 nm. The oxygen storage capacity of the NiO-CeO2 and Bi2O3-CeO2 binary compounds was investigated under reduction and oxidation conditions. When the Ni and Bi concentration in CeO2 was up to 30%, the OSC values reached 2465 and 2560 1molO/g separately, which indicated that NiO and Bi2O3 compounded CeO2 materials have fine catalysis activity than other cations doped CeO2-based materials and appear to be very promising for practical applications such as OSC materials"     

Interaction of Al2O3 and CeO2 surfaces with SO2 and SO2 + O2 studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

The interaction of Al2O3 and CeO2 thin films with sulfur dioxide (2.5 mbar) or with mixtures of SO2 with O2 (5 mbar) at various temperatures (30-400 degrees C) was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The analysis of temperature-induced transformations of S2p spectra allowed us to identify sulfite and sulfate species and determine the conditions of their formation on the oxide surfaces. Sulfite ions, SO3(2-), which are characterized by the S2p(3/2) binding energy (BE) of approximately 167.5 eV, were shown to be formed during the interaction of the oxide films with pure SO2 at temperatures < or =200 degrees C, whereas sulfate ions, SO4(2-), with BE (S2p(3/2)) approximately 169 eV were produced at temperatures > or =300 degrees C. The formation of both the sulfite and sulfate species proceeds more efficiently in the case of CeO2. The addition of oxygen to SO2 suppresses the formation of the sulfite species on both oxides and facilitates the formation of the sulfate species. Again, this enhancement is more significant for the CeO2 film than for the Al2O3 one. The sulfation of the CeO2 film is accompanied by a reduction of Ce(IV) ions to Ce(III) ones, both in the absence and in the presence of oxygen. It has been concluded that the amount of the sulfates on the CeO2 surface treated with the SO2 + O2 mixture at > or =300 degrees C corresponds to the formation of a 3D phase of the Ce(III) sulfate. The sulfation of Al2O3 is limited by the surface of the oxide film.     

Ce(IV) complexes with donor-functionalized alkoxide ligands: improved precursors for chemical vapor deposition of CeO2

Thin films of ceria (CeO(2)) have many applications, and their synthesis by liquid-injection MOCVD (metal-organic chemical vapor deposition) or ALD (atomic layer deposition) requires volatile precursor compounds. Here we report the synthesis of a series of homoleptic and heteroleptic Ce(IV) complexes with donor-functionalized alkoxide ligands mmp (1-methoxy-2-methylpropan-2-olate), dmap (1-(dimethylamino)propan-2-olate), and dmop (2-(4,4-dimethyl-4,5-dihydrooxazol-2-yl)propan-2-olate) and their potential as precursors for MOCVD and ALD of CeO(2). New complexes were synthesized by alcohol exchange reactions with [Ce(OBu(t))(4)]. [Ce(mmp)(4)] and [Ce(dmap)(4)] were both found to be excellent precursors for liquid-injection MOCVD of CeO(2), depositing high purity thin films with very low carbon contamination, and both have a large temperature window for diffusion controlled growth (350-600 °C for [Ce(mmp)(4)]; 300-600 °C for [Ce(dmap)(4)]). [Ce(mmp)(4)] is also an excellent precursor for liquid-injection ALD of CeO(2) using H(2)O as oxygen source and demonstrates self-limiting growth from 150 to 350 °C. [Ce(dmap)(4)] has lower thermal stability than [Ce(mmp)(4)] and does not show self-limiting growth in ALD. Heteroleptic complexes show a tendency to undergo ligand redistribution reactions to form mixtures in solution and are unsuitable as precursors for liquid-injection CVD.     

Role of Zr4+ cations in NO2 adsorption on Ce(1-x)Zr(x)O2 mixed oxides at ambient conditions

Mixed oxides Ce(1-x)Zr(x)O(2) prepared by slow coprecipitation in NaOH were tested for NO(2) adsorption in dynamic conditions at room temperature. The samples were characterized before and after exposure to NO(2) by XRD, N(2)-adsorption, thermal analysis, potentiometric titration, and FT-IR. Mixed oxides show a better NO(2) adsorption capacity than the parent materials (CeO(2) and Zr(OH)(4)). This effect is linked to the presence of reduced cerium and oxygen vacancies induced by the addition of Zr(4+) cations to the structure. The results indicate that NO(2) reacts with Ce(3+) to form nitrite and nitrate species on the surface. The NO retention increases with an increase in the Zr(OH)(4) content. A decrease in the density of -OH groups on the surface after the exposure to NO(2), suggests their involvement in reactive adsorption of NO and/or NO(2).

Pt-Rh/CeZrYLa+LaAl催化剂用于理论空燃比天然气汽车尾气净化

采用共沉淀法制备了CeZrYLa+LaAl纳米复合载体,以三种方法制备了一系列Pt-Rh/CeZrYLa+LaAl催化剂.对所制样品进行了N2吸附-脱附、粉末X射线衍射、X射线光电子能谱和H2程序升温还原的表征.并考察了三种方法所制得催化剂的理论空燃比天然气汽车尾气净化性能.结果表明,三个催化剂的活性顺序为Cat3≈ Cat2> Cat1,其中Cat3具有最低的CO和NO起燃温度(T50),分别为114oC和149 oC,最低的CH4和CO完全转化温度(T90),分别为398 oC和179 oC,以及最佳的CH4和CO温度特性,ΔT (T90–T50)值分别为34 oC和65 oC. Cat2具有最低的CH4起燃温度(342°C)和最低的NO完全转化温度(174°C). Cat1具有最差的转化活性,说明物理混合法制备的催化剂(Cat3和Cat2)性能优于共浸渍法制备的催化剂(Cat1).这是由于物理混合法制备的催化剂, Pt和Rh均匀分散在载体表面,两者物理接触共同参与CH4/CO/NO三种污染物的转化.相反,共浸渍法制备的催化剂, Pt和Rh之间存在较强的相互作用,改变了Pt的电子状态,而且形成了表面Pt富集的Pt-Rh双金属颗粒覆盖了Rh活性位,从而降低催化活性;同时,对于通过物理混合法并进一步添加助剂所制备的Cat3, XRD结果显示助剂Zr4+进入了铈锆固溶体晶格,产生晶格缺陷; XPS结果显示Cat3具有最高的Ce3+/Ce比例.这些都有利于提高催化剂的氧流动性,从而提高催化剂活性并拓宽空燃比窗口.     

Direct evidence of redox interaction between metal ion and support oxide in Ce(0.98)Pd(0.02)O(2-δ) by a combined electrochemical and XPS study

A combined electrochemical method and X-ray photo electron spectroscopy (XPS) has been utilized to understand the Pd(2+)/CeO(2) interaction in Ce(1-x)Pd(x)O(2-δ) (x = 0.02). A constant positive potential (chronoamperometry) is applied to Ce(0.98)Pd(0.02)O(2-δ) working electrode which causes Ce(4+) to reduce to Ce(3+) to the extent of ~35%, while Pd remains in the +2 oxidation state. Electrochemically cycling this electrode between 0.0-1.2 V reverts back to the original state of the catalyst. This reversibility is attributed to the reversible reduction of Ce(4+) to Ce(3+) state. CeO(2) electrode with no metal component reduces to CeO(2-y) (y~0.4) after applying 1.2 V which is not reversible and the original composition of CeO(2) cannot be brought back in any electrochemical condition. During the electro-catalytic oxygen evolution reaction at a constant 1.2 V for 1000 s, Ce(0.98)Pd(0.02)O(2-δ) reaches a steady state composition with Pd in the +2 states and Ce(4+): Ce(3+) in the ratio of 0.65:0.35. This composition can be denoted as Ce(4+)(0.63)Ce(3+)(0.35)Pd(0.02)O(2-δ-y) (y~0.17). When pure CeO(2) is put under similar electrochemical condition, it never reaches the steady state composition and reduces almost to 85%. Thus, Ce(0.98)Pd(0.02)O(2-δ) forms a stable electrode for the electro-oxidation of H(2)O to O(2) unlike CeO(2) due to the metal support interaction.     

Pt/CexZr1-xO2催化剂上丙烷完全氧化性能研究

采用沉淀法制备了ZrO2,CeO2和Ce0.7Zr0.3O2载体,并用浸渍法制备负载型Pt催化剂。考察了500和900℃焙烧催化剂的丙烷完全氧化性能和水汽对丙烷氧化反应的影响。对于500℃焙烧的催化剂,催化剂的丙烷氧化活性顺序为:Pt/ZrO2-500>Pt/CeO2-500>Pt/Ce0.7Zr0.3O2-500;而经900℃焙烧的催化剂活性顺序为:Pt/ZrO2-900>Pt/Ce0.7Zr0.3O2-900>Pt/CeO2-900。反应气氛中水汽的存在对两种Pt/ZrO2催化剂的活性均有抑制作用(T50温度均提高了10~15℃);而对于Pt/CeO2-500催化剂有抑制作用(T50温度提高10℃),但对Pt/CeO2-900催化剂活性有促进作用(T50温度下降25℃);对于两种Pt/Ce0.7Zr0.3O2催化剂活性具有促进作用(T50温度均下降5~25℃)。表征结果表明催化剂的活性与其表面Pt物种价态密切相关,催化剂表面上Pt0物种有利于活性的提高。Pt/Ce0.7Zr0.3O2-500催化剂中只含有氧化态Pt物种(Pt^2+),而Pt/Ce0.7Zr0.3O2-900催化剂中则含有部分金属态Pt物种,因此其活性高于Pt/Ce0.7Zr0.3O2-500催化剂。
