An FTIR study of the adsorption of surfactants on silica

The absorption of cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide onto silica was studied by FTIR as an example of the interaction of cationic surfactants with surfaces of medium polarity. It was found that the free silanol groups of the silica interacted strongly with the surfactant and that the methylene group adsorption bands varied with coverage in both frequency and width. These results could be interpreted in terms of chemisorption of a first layer of surfactant followed by physisorption of subsequent layers, or in terms of the inhomogeneity of the silica surface.     

Catalytic properties of molybdena-alumina catalysts pretreated at high temperatures

The dependence of the catalytic properties of molybdena-alumina catalysts reduced in hydrogen on the degree of reduction were followed in a model catalytic reaction of deuterium exchange in benzene. The reaction rate constant and the multiplicity factor decrease as the degree of reduction and the degree of dehydroxylation of the catalyst's surface increase.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

The effect of surface ion-induced defects on CO adsorption on polycrystalline Ni

CO adsorption on polycrystalline nickel was investigated by dynamic secondary ion mass-spectroscopy at 10⁻⁵–10⁻³ Pa and 300–500 K. An increase of secondary ion currents NiCO⁺/Ni⁺ ratio was found in the range from 300 to 350 K, while at T>350 K it decreased sharply. These data were explained by a kinetic model, in which adsorption and desorption of tightly bound CO goes through weakly bound CO formed due to ion-induced defects.

多孔材料的二氧化碳吸附与光催化转化研究进展(英文)

太阳能光催化是CO_2转化和利用的新兴技术,直接利用洁净充足的太阳能将自然界富有的"温室气体"CO_2转化成化学燃料,不仅有利于消除大气温室效应,而且能缓解能源短缺问题,因而成为人们研究的一个重要方向.但目前CO_2的吸附和转换效率还很低,这是太阳能光催化CO_2资源化的最大障碍.高性能光催化剂的设计和合成是这项技术的关键.针对CO_2光还原反应的特异性,理想的光催化材料应该具有以下功能:强的CO_2吸附能力和高的光催化活性.将光催化剂与对CO_2具有高吸附性的多孔材料结合,就可以将CO_2吸附并富集在吸附剂周围的光催化剂表面上以进行催化转化,因此基于高效多孔吸附材料构筑光催化体系成为光催化转化CO_2的重要研究方向之一.CO_2的循环利用包括吸附和转化两方面,高吸附量的多孔材料是获得CO_2高转化效率的前提.本文首先以多孔材料结构参数及性能指标为主线,对无机多孔材料、金属有机框架材料及微孔有机聚合物材料的研究进展及应用前景进行了评述.通过对多孔材料的改性和新型多孔材料的开发,CO_2的吸附能力得到一定的提升,但是仅仅依靠多孔材料的吸附分离,不能实现CO_2中的碳资源循环.在此基础上,本文重点评述了多孔光催化材料在CO_2光催化转化中的最新研究进展.采用多孔材料与光催化剂结合,可增加材料的比表面积,在界面处暴露更多的活性位点,有利于光催化CO_2转化的进行;同时,通过孔结构和基团调控,可以调控光催化剂的反应活性和产物选择性.特别是金属有机框架材料与微孔有机聚合物材料,改变构建单元的官能团和制备技术还可以实现光谱响应范围的调控,提高太阳光的利用率.大量文献对比发现,引入较高CO_2吸附效率的多孔材料构建光催化体系,CO_2光催化转化的效率及产物选择性显著提高.最后,本文对多孔材料在CO_2光催化转化领域的研究现状与亟待解决的问题进行了剖析,提出了下一步可能的研究方向:(1)提高多孔材料自身的稳定性如耐水性能与光/热稳定性;(2)发展光催化材料在多孔载体的微观组装方法,不影响CO_2吸附效率的前提下提高光催化活性;(3)深入研究多孔光催化材料内部与表面的CO_2转化机理,为进一步提高吸附与转化效率提供理论指导.     

采用CO吸附原位红外光谱研究Pt/TiO_2光催化体系中助催化剂作用

采用CO作为探针分子,将原位透射红外光谱应用于研究助催化剂Pt在Pt/TiO2光催化体系中的作用.实验发现,光照条件下,CO的覆盖度及样品温度没有明显变化,CO在Pt/TiO2上的吸附峰红移11 cm–1,在Pt/Al2O3上的吸附峰没有位移,表明CO在Pt/TiO2上的红移来源于TiO2上的光生电子转移到Pt上,这解释了为什么加入Pt助催化剂可提高光催化产氢活性.     

FTIR spectroscopy study of CO adsorption on Pt-Na-mordenite

Different carbonyls are formed after CO adsorption at ambient temperature on a Pt-Na-mordenite (Pt-Na-MOR) sample. Pt(3+)(CO)(2) dicarbonyls (nu(s) at 2205 cm(-1) and nu(as) at 2167 cm(-1)) are decomposed without formation of monocarbonyls. The respective mixed-ligand species, Pt(3+)((12)CO)((13)CO), formed after (12)CO-(13)CO coadsorption, display bands at 2192 and 2131 cm(-1), in excellent agreement with the theoretically calculated values. Pt(2+)-CO species absorb at 2145 cm(-1) and are not able to accept a second CO molecule. Pt(+)-CO carbonyls are characterized by a band at 2111 cm(-1). Under CO equilibrium pressure, these species are converted into dicarbonyls (nu(s) at 2135 cm(-1) and nu(as) at 2101 cm(-1)). The respective mixed-ligand species, Pt(+)((12)CO)((13)CO), manifest bands at 2123 and 2069 cm(-1), in good agreement again with the theory. Different carbonyls of metallic platinum are observed below 2100 cm(-)(1). In addition, weakly adsorbed CO was registered as Na(+)-CO complexes (2177 and 2165 cm(-1)) and Na(+)-OC-Na(+) species (2138 cm(-1)). It was found that during desorption of CO platinum was reduced, ultimately to metal. However, heating in a NO + O(2) mixture leads to reoxidation of the metal particles and restoration of the initial state of the sample.     

Thermal and FTIR characterization of Cu/Si-Al and Cu-zeolite catalysts

Summary Thermal and FTIR studies on Cu/Si-Al by sol-gel and Cu/zeolite catalysts are compared by determining the effect of alumina and Cu incorporation into a SiO₂-Al₂O₃ and zeolite base support matrix. Hydroxyl groups formed during hydrolysis are more stable as the amount of alumina increases in the matrix. A proposed mechanism for metal incorporation involving the effect of alumina incorporation into the matrix is presented. This mechanism may explain the formation of different Cu-based structures.     

In-situ FTIR studies of dimethyl ether adsorption on H-ZSM-5 zeolites

In situ infrared spectra of dimethyl ether adsorbed on two H-ZSM-5 zeolites are reported which are different in both lattice and extraframework aluminium contents. A number of dissociatively adsorbed dimethyl ether species associated respectively with the Bronsted acid sites, the external silanol groups and extraframework aluminium species at different temperatures are identified. In particular, dimethyl ether reacts with non acidic hydroxyl species associated with extraframework aluminium to form the third methoxy species. The distributions of hydrocarbons desorbed from a single pulse of dimethyl ether (1.0 mL) onto these zeolite samples are presented. Propene is the major product, and the yield of hydrocarbons correlates with the concentration of Bronsted acid bound methoxy groups.

AFM and FTIR studies of organic cation adsorption on carbon steel coupled with stainless steel

The electrochemical behavior of the anode of the galvanic couple and the adsorption behavior of the cationic inhibitor on it have been investigated by using electrochemical methods, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) technology. A galvanic electrode was prepared by coupling N80 carbon steel (CS) and S31803 stainless steel. All experiments were performed in NaCl solution in the presence or absence of an inhibitor. The results show that, in aqueous NaCl solution, CS carries negative excess charge, for the couple, positive charge is carried on the CS side (anode). The adsorption behavior of the cationic inhibitor on CS is significantly affected by the excess charge carried on it. Owing to the charge interaction between electrodes and the cationic inhibitor, the inhibitor has a greater tendency to adsorb on the single CS and less tendency to adsorb on the CS of the couple. Because of this, the adsorption film on the anode (CS side) of the couple is thin and defective. The failure of inhibiting galvanic corrosion attributes to the defective protective layer formed on the anodic area. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

FTIR studies of CO adsorption on Rh-Ge/Al2O3 catalysts prepared by surface redox reactions

A series of bimetallic Al2O3-supported Rh-Ge catalysts was prepared by surface redox reactions under controlled hydrogen atmosphere. The surface properties of these catalysts were probed via in-situ FTIR spectroscopic studies of adsorbed CO and were compared to those of monometallic Rh catalysts that had undergone similar treatments. The results indicate that Ge addition results in the formation and stabilization of smaller rhodium ensembles at the expense of larger Rh0 surfaces. A charge-transfer mechanism from Ge to Rh is also inferred by the IR results for the high Ge loading samples. Air exposure of the catalysts leads to an irreversible segregation of the two metals and formation of large Rh crystallites.     

In situ FTIR spectroscopic studies of CO adsorption on electrodes with nanometer-scale thin films of ruthenium in sulfuric acid solutions

A nanometer-scale thin film of ruthenium supported on glassy carbon (nm-Ru/GC) was prepared by electrochemical deposition under cyclic voltammetric conditions. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) was used to investigate the structure and to measure the thickness of the thin film. It has been found that the Ru thin film is composed of layered Ru crystallites that appear in a hexagonal form with dimensions of about 250 nm and thickness around 30 nm. In situ FTIR spectroscopic studies demonstrated that such a nanostructured Ru thin film exhibits abnormal infrared effects (AIREs) for CO adsorption (G.Q. Lu et al., Langmuir 16 (2000) 778). In comparison with CO adsorbed on a massive Pt electrode, the IR absorption of CO_ad on nm-Ru/GC was significantly enhanced. Moreover, the direction of CO_ad bands is inverted and the full width at half maximum of CO_ad bands is increased. It has been revealed that the enhancement factor of IR absorption of CO adsorbed on nm-Ru/GC electrodes depends strongly on the thickness of the Ru film. An asymmetrical volcano relationship between the enhancement factor and the thickness of the Ru film has been obtained. The maximum value of the enhancement factor was measured as 25.5 on a nm-Ru/GC electrode of Ru film thickness around 86 nm. The present study has contributed to exploration of the particular properties of nanostructured Ru film material and to the origin of the abnormal infrared effects.     

Characterization of Au-Rh/TiO2 catalysts by CO adsorption; XPS, FTIR and TPD experiments

On X-ray photoelectron spectra of the Au-Rh/TiO₂ catalysts the position of Au4f peak was practically unaffected by the presence of rhodium, the peak position of Rh3d, however, shifted to lower binding energy with the increase of gold content of the catalysts. Rh enrichment in the outer layers of the bimetallic crystallites was experienced. The bands due to Au⁰-CO, Rh⁰-CO and (Rh⁰)₂-CO were observed on the IR spectra of bimetallic samples, no signs for Rh⁺-(CO)₂ were detected on these catalysts. The results were interpreted by electron donation from titania through gold to rhodium and by the higher particle size of bimetallic crystallites.     

配体保护下的Au_(20)团簇吸附和活化CO的理论研究

用密度泛函理论方法计算了CO分子吸附在有机配体聚乙烯吡咯烷酮poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone)(PVP)保护下的Au20团簇上的稳定构型的结构和性质。配体PVP通过物理吸附主要作用于Au20团簇的顶点位置。与Au20比较,配体的存在有利于CO的吸附和活化,其根本原因是PVP和CO在Au20表面分别作为供电子和吸电子基团产生的协同效应。中性及阴离子Au20团簇对配体和CO的吸附强度不同,前者对PVP吸附作用较强,后者对CO的吸附和活化作用较强。     

Preparation and characterization of ultrafine Fe-Cu-based catalysts for CO hydrogenation

The ultrafine particles of a new style Fe-Cu-based catalysts for CO hydrogenation were prepared by impregnating the organic sol of Fe（OH）3 and Cu（OH）2 onto the activated Al2O3, in which the organic sol of Fe（OH）3 and Cu（OH）2 were prepared in the microemulsion of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid sodium（S）/n-butanol（A）/toluene（O）/water with V（A）/V（O） = 0.25 and W（A）/W（S） = 1.50. This catalyst was characterized by particle size analysis, XRD and TG. The results of particle size analysis showed that Fe（OH）3 particles with a mean size of 17.1 nm and Cu（OH）2 particles with an average size of 6.65 um were obtained. TG analysis and XRD patterns suggested that 673 K is the optimal calcination temperature. CO hydrogenation produced C＋OH with a high selectivity above 58 wt% by using the ultrafine particles as catalyst, and the total alcohol yield of 0.250 g·ml^-1 ·h^-1 was obtained when the contents of Al2O3 and K were 88.61 wt% and 1.60 wt%, respectively.
