CO oxidation over a Pt-Rh system. 1. Reaction on individual metals

The reaction of CO oxidation over thin films of rhodium and platinum prepared by vacuum evaporation of the metals on an inert support has been investigated at low pressures (P < 2×10^-5 mbar). Rhodium has been found to be more active than platinum in this reaction. The reasons of the higher activity of Rh are discussed.     

A DFT study of the CO adsorption and oxidation at ZnO surfaces and its implication for CO detection

Recently,ZnO-based gas sensors have been successfully fabricated and widely studied for their excellent sensitivity and selectivity,especially in CO detection.However,detailed explorations of their mechanisms are rather limited.Herein,aiming at clarifying the sensing mechanism,we carried out density functional theory(DFT) calculations to track down the CO adsorption and oxidation on the ZnO(101 0) and(1120) surfaces.The calculated results show that the lattice O of ZnO(1010) is more reactive than that of ZnO(1120) for CO oxidation.From the calculated energetics and structures,the main reaction product on both surfaces can be determined to be CO_2 rather than carbonate.Moreover,the surface conductivity changes during the adsorption and reaction processes of CO were also studied.For both ZnO(1010) and(1120),the conductivity would increase upon CO adsorption and decrease following CO oxidation,in consistence with the reported experimental results.This work can help understand the origins of ZnO-based sensors' performances and the development of novel gas sensors with higher sensitivity and selectivity.

移动甲醇重整制氢是质子交换膜燃料电池（PEMFC）可行的供氢方式之一,包括水蒸气重整、部分氧化重整和自热重整。甲醇重整制氢方法不同,重整气体积组成在H245％～75％,CO215％～25％,CO1％～10％,H2O10％～20％和N20—20％变化。重整气进入PEMFC之前要经过CO水蒸气变换反应（如果采用水蒸气重整,不需要变换过程）,     

TiO2和ZnO表面CO光催化氧化活性研究

在TiO2和ZnO表面CO光催化氧化研究中发现,365 nm紫外光照下TiO2表面无活性,而ZnO表面却有明显的CO光催化氧化活性.研究表明,主要是由于紫外光照下,ZnO光分解而TiO2没有光分解,从而在表面产生不同吸附形态的氧所致.而且,ZnO表面CO光催化氧化反应活性可在27 h内保持稳定,暗示气相光催化反应中,ZnO不会因为光腐蚀而使其催化活性降低.     

CO oxidation over the Pt-Rh system. 2. Reaction on an alloy

The oxidation of CO over thin films of a Pt-Rh alloy prepared by sequential vacuum evaporation of the metals on an inert support has been investigated at low pressures (P < 2'10^-5 mbar). The results are compared with the data on the individual surfaces of Pt and Rh. It is found that the activity of the alloy is intermediate between the activities of the individual metals. The effect of alloy formation on the catalytic activity in CO oxidation is discussed. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

CO oxidation over the Pt-Rh system. 3. Reaction on a heterophase surface

The reaction of the CO oxidation over a Pt-Rh heterophase surface, which represents 10-20 nm platinum particles located on a rhodium film, which in turn is deposited on an inert support, has been investigated at low pressures (P < 2'10^-5 mbar). The results are compared with the data for the clean surfaces of Pt and Rh. In the high-temperature range, the rate of CO₂ formation on the heterophase surface is found to be higher than the sum of the rates on individual metals corrected by the surface area of the different metals. The nature of the synergistic effect in the CO oxidation is discussed. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Swallowtail model for predicting the global bifurcation behavior of CO oxidation reactions

Catalytic CO oxidation on platinum group metals exhibits nonlinear phenomena such as hysteresis and bifurcation.Elucidation of the nonlinear mechanisms is important for catalyst design and control of reaction routes.Previous studies have offered initial insights into the local bifurcation behavior of CO oxidation.However,since the bifurcation behavior of CO oxidation is determined by multiple parameters such as temperature,total flux,and CO fraction,it is difficult to predict the global bifurcation behavior...     

Modeling of CO oxidation rate oscillations on a chain of surface patches

Autooscillations of CO oxidation rate are considered for a surface, which is a chain of uniform M1–M4 patches differing by their properties. For chain 5333 due to CO_ads diffusion, induced oscillations propagate from oscillating patches M1 (scheme 5) to patches M2–M4 (Scheme 3), which themselves do not sustain the oscillation mode.

Investigation of CO and formaldehyde oxidation over mesoporous Ag/Co3O4 catalysts

CO and formaldehyde (HCHO) oxidation reactions were investigated over mesoporous Ag/Co₃O₄ catalysts prepared by one-pot (OP) and impregnation (IM) methods. It was found that the one-pot method was superior to the impregnation method for synthesizing Ag/Co₃O₄ catalysts with high activity for both reactions. It was also found that the catalytic behavior of mesoporous Co₃O₄ and Ag/Co₃O₄ catalysts for the both reactions was different. And the addition of silver on mesoporous Co₃O₄ did not always enhance the catalytic activity of final catalyst for CO oxidation at room temperature (20 °C), but could significantly improve the catalytic activity of final catalyst for HCHO oxidation at low temperature (90 °C). The high surface area, uniform pore structure and the pretty good dispersion degree of the silver particle should be responsible for the excellent low-temperature CO oxidation activity. However, for HCHO oxidation, the addition of silver played an important role in the activity enhancement. And the silver particle size and the reducibility of Co₃O₄ should be indispensable for the high activity of HCHO oxidation at low temperature.

酸洗Pt-Fe和Pt-Co催化剂在CO氧化反应中的对比研究

负载型纳米催化剂表面结构与其催化性能之间关系的研究一直受到广泛关注.由于其结构复杂使得人们在研究催化剂构效关系时遇到了很多困难.近年来,大量研究发现反转催化剂在众多反应中表现出优越的催化性能.反转催化剂是将过渡金属氧化物负载于其它金属表面.和传统金属/氧化物催化剂相比,反转催化剂更能突出氧化物在催化反应中的重要作用.众多研究表明,在氧化物-金属界面处存在特殊的作用,这种作用可以改变氧化物的电子特性和化学性质,进而产生较高的催化性能.傅强等人创建了金属氧化物负载于Pt表面的反转催化体系,其表现出了高的低温CO氧化反应性能.在氧化物和Pt之间的界面限域效应可以稳定氧化物中配位不饱和的金属阳离子.这种配位不饱和的氧化物提供了活化O2的活性位.目前,反转催化剂的研究主要集中在单晶模型体系中,在负载型催化剂中的研究还较少.我们以炭黑(CB)为载体,将还原后的Pt-Fe和Pt-Co催化剂经过酸洗制备了一种表面富Pt核为合金的结构.考察了酸洗后的Pt-Fe和Pt-Co催化剂经过不同温度氧化后的结构变化,并讨论了其结构与CO完全氧化反应(COOX)和CO选择氧化反应(CO-PROX)性能的关系.X射线粉末衍射(XRD),电感耦合等离子体发射光谱(ICP),透射电镜(TEM)和X射线光电子能谱(XPS)表征结果表明,还原后的Pt基催化剂经过酸洗可以选择性去除纳米粒子表面的3d过渡金属,形成表面富Pt体相为合金的结构.将酸洗后的Pt-Fe和Pt-Co催化剂在不同温度下空气中氧化,发现近表层的Fe(Co)会扩散到粒子表面上,形成过度氧化的Fe2O3(Co3O4)表面结构.氧化后的催化剂在COOX和CO-PROX反应中表现出截然不同的催化性能.酸洗后的Pt-Fe(Pt-Co)催化剂经过不同温度氧化后在COOX反应中活性都较差,室温下的CO转化率只有不到30%,CO完全转化的温度超过100oC,相当于纯Pt催化剂的活性.这说明Pt表面过度氧化的Fe2O3(Co3O4)对CO氧化反应的促进作用不明显.而氧化后的催化剂在CO-PROX反应中表现出较高的活性,250oC(或350oC)氧化后的酸洗Pt-Fe催化剂室温下的CO转化率接近100%,250oC(或350oC)氧化后的酸洗Pt-Co催化剂室温下的CO转化率也达到了70%.结合表征和反应结果,我们认为氧化处理形成的表面过度氧化的金属氧化物(Fe2O3,Co3O4)在COOX的催化性能较差.通入CO-PROX反应气后,气氛中大量H2的存在和Pt表面的氢溢流效应可以使得表面Fe2O3,Co3O4在室温下被还原成配位不饱和的FeO,CoO.这种配位不饱和的氧化物在表面Pt的限域作用和大量H2气氛下比较稳定,并且具有较强的活化解离O2的能力,进而提高了CO-PROX反应的活性.为了进一步证实催化剂表面氧化物与其催化性能的关系,我们在室温下进行了两种反应气的循环实验测试.测试结果表明,对于氧化后的酸洗Pt-Fe催化剂,COOX反应中的表面Fe2O3和CO-PROX反应中的表面FeO可以通过变换反应气氛实现两种氧化物的相互转变,并表现出完全不同的催化性能.对于氧化后的酸洗Pt-Co催化剂,CO-PROX反应中形成的CoO表面结构在COOX反应中也比较稳定,在两种反应气中表现出相似的催化性能.     

常温常湿条件下Au/MeO~x催化剂上CO氧化性能

利用共沉淀法制备了Au/MeO~x催化剂(Me=Al,Co,Cr,Cu,Fe,Mn,Ni,Zn)。在常温常湿条件下,考察了不同氧化物负载的金基催化剂的CO氧化性能。结果表明,氧化物种类对催化剂的活性和稳定性均有较大的影响。Cu,Mn,Cr等氧化物负载的金基催化剂的活性较差,而Zn,Fe,Co,Ni,Al等金属氧化物负载的金基催化剂可将CO完全氧化,又具有一定的稳定性,在相同反应条件下,CO完全转化时的稳定性顺序为Au/ZnO>Au/α-Fe~2O~3>Au/Co~3O~4>Au/γ-Al~2O~3≈Au/NiO。还发现水对Au/MnO~x催化剂的活性和稳定性有负作用,而对180℃焙烧制备的Au/ZnO-180催化剂的活性和稳定性均有明显的湿度增强作用。     

NO reduction and CO oxidation over Cu/Ce/Mg/Al mixed oxide catalyst in FCC operation

Simultaneous NO reduction and CO oxidation in the presence of O₂, H₂O and SO₂ over Cu/Mg/Al/O (Cu-cat), Ce/Mg/Al/O (Ce-cat) and Cu/Ce/Mg/Al/O (CuCe-cat) were studied. At low temperatures (<340 °C), the presence of O₂ or H₂O enhanced the activity of CuCe-cat for NO and CO conversions, but significantly suppressed the activity of Cu-cat and Ce-cat. At high temperature (720 °C), the presence of O₂ or H₂O had no adverse effect on the NO and CO conversions over these catalysts. The addition of SO₂ to NO+CO+O₂+H₂O system had no effect on the reaction of CO+O₂ over Cu-cat, but deactivated this catalyst for NO+CO and CO+H₂O reactions; over Ce-cat, all of these reactions of NO+CO,CO+O₂ and CO+H₂O were suppressed significantly; over CuCe-cat, NO+CO and CO+O₂ reactions were not affected while the reaction of CO+H₂O was slightly inhibited.     

Comparative study on the reaction of methane over a ZnO bed in the absence and presence of CO2

The reaction of zinc oxide with methane in the absence and presence of CO2 were theoretically and experimentally investigated using HSC Chemistry 5.1 software and a fixed bed reactor, respectively. In the absence of CO2 at 1193 K, the reduction of ZnO was accompanied with methane cracking, and metallic zinc, CO, and H2 were the main reaction products. This system could be utilized for the co-production of metallic zinc and synthesis gas, in which ZnO was a donor of oxygen. In the presence of CO2, ZnO plays as a catalyst in the CO2 reforming of methane and produces syngas with the average H2/CO ratio of 0.88 at 1193 K, which was close to the total reaction theoretic value of 1. It was also found that higher temperature favored high CH4 and CO2 conversions. XRD technique was used to characterize the ZnO species. The result showed that there were no differences in the peak profiles of the XRD patterns of the ZnO powder obtained before and after passing the CH4/CO2 mixed gases for 6 h at 1193 K. It is suggested that ZnO functions as a catalyst according to the redox cycle and metallic zinc plays the role of intermediate product in this process.     

金催化CO氧化湿度增强效应的理论研究

实验发现纳米金催化的CO氧化有良好的湿度增强效应,但有关机制仍不清楚.我们应用密度泛函理论研究了湿度增强效应的微观机制,以Au4团簇为例,研究了金催化CO氧化的微观机理,考察了H2O在反应中的角色和作用.计算结果表明,H2O与Au4团簇一样,在反应中扮演催化剂的角色,参与反应的进行、改变反应历程、降低反应能垒.催化循环包含4个基元步骤：O2＋H2O→OOH＋OH,CO＋OOH→CO2＋OH,CO＋OH→COOH,和COOH＋OH→CO2＋H2O,其中自由基OOH和OH的形成是催化循环的速控步骤,其能垒为100.31kJ/mol,明显低于非水参与反应的能垒（161.41kJ/mol）.目前的结果合理地解释了实验观测的CO催化氧化的湿度增强效应,给出了其微观反应机制.     

CO oxidation over ceria supported Au22 nanoclusters: Shape effect of the support

CO oxidation over ceria-supported Au₂₂ nanoclusters shows strong dependence on the support shape: the lattice oxygen in CeO₂ rods is more reactive than in the cubes and thus make rods a superior support for Au nanoclusters in catalyzing low temperature CO oxidation.
