Catalytic methanol decomposition to carbon monoxide and hydrogen over Pd/CeO2-ZrO2-La2O3 with different Ce/Zr molar ratios

The catalytic behaviors of Pd (1.4 wt%) catalysts supported on CeO₂-ZrO₂-La₂O₃ mixed oxides with different Ce/Zr molar ratios were investigated for methanol decomposition. Nitrogen adsorption-desorption (BET), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), H₂ temperature-programmed reduction (H₂-TPR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Pd dispersion analysis were used for their characterization. Pd/Ce_0.76Zr_0.18 La_0.06O_1.97 catalyst showed the highest BET surface area, best Pd dispersion capability and strongest metal-support interaction. Moreover, XPS showed that there was lattice defect oxygen or mobile oxygen. According to the result of O 1s measurements the lattice defect oxygen or mobile oxygen helped to maintain Pd in a partly oxidized state and increased the activity for methanol decomposition. The Pd/Ce_0.76Zr_0.18La_0.06O_1.97 catalyst exhibited the best activity. A 100% conversion of methanol was achieved at around 260 °C, which was about 20-40 °C lower than other catalysts     

XRD and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance analysis of CeO2-ZrO2 solid solutions synthesized by combustion method

A series of ceria-incorporated zirconia (Ce_1−xZr_xO₂,x = 0 to 1) solid solutions were prepared by employing the solution combustion synthesis route. The products were characterized by XRD and UV-Vis-NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The materials are crystalline in nature and the lattice parameters of the solid solution series follow Vegard’s law. Diffuse reflectance spectra of the solid solutions in the UV region show two intense bands at 250 and 297 nm which are assigned respectively to Ce³⁺ ← O²⁻and Ce⁴⁺ ← O²⁻ charge transfer transitions. The two vibrational bands in 6960 cm⁻¹ and 5168 cm⁻¹ in the NIR region indicate the presence of surface hydroxyl groups on these materials.     

Ce0.5Zr0.5O2修饰的Ni/SiC、Fe/SiC和Co/SiC催化燃烧甲烷性能

以铈锆固溶体（Ce_0.5Zr_0.5O₂）修饰的高比表面积SiC为载体,采用两步浸渍法制备了Ni、Fe和Co基催化剂,研究了其在煤层气催化燃烧脱氧中的催化活性和稳定性. 利用X射线衍射（XRD）、X射线光电子能谱（XPS）、电感耦合等离子体质谱（ICP-MS）、高分辨透射电子显微镜（HRTEM）、比表面积（BET）、热重分析（TGA）和H₂程序升温还原（H₂-TPR）对催化剂进行了表征. 分析结果表明,Ni、Fe和Co部分进入Ce_0.5Zr_0.5O₂固溶体晶格内部,导致催化剂体相形成更多的缺陷;同时Ce_0.5Zr_0.5O₂固溶体有助于加速金属氧化物和金属之间氧化还原过程的进行,促进了氧吸附、传输和对甲烷的活化. 另外,SiC和Ce_0.5Zr_0.5O₂固熔体良好的抗积碳性能,有效避免了催化剂在富甲烷反应气氛中因积碳而失活,从而使三种催化剂均具有优良的催化燃烧脱氧活性和稳定性. 其中,Co/Ce_0.5Zr_0.5O₂/SiC活性最高,可在320 ℃活化催化甲烷,并在410 ℃实现完全脱氧.     

Structural and compositional investigations of Zr4Pt2O: A filled-cubic Ti2Ni-type phase

Syntheses, structural and compositional analyses of the filled cubic Ti₂Ni-type phase in Zr-Pt-O system have been studied, largely for the platinum-richer compositions. Diffraction quality crystals were grown by annealing an arc-melted composition Zr₄Pt₂O_0.66 at 1600 °C under Ar. The refined composition Zr_4.0Pt_1.95(1)O_0.93(6) (a=12.5063(6) Å, , Z=16) is close to the idealized composition Zr₄Pt₂O known in several other Zr-T-O systems (T=late 4d or 5d transition element). (This composition has been erroneously reported by ICDD for years as Zr₆Pt₃O (No. 00-017-0557) and referred to as ε-Zr₆Pt₃O.) The product is only marginally poor in platinum and oxygen, in contrast to the 1960 reports of metallographic studies (∼Zr₄Pt_1.62O_0.44). Under arc-melting conditions, high yields of the cubic phase are obtained from samples with lower platinum concentrations (Zr₄Pt_1.74O_1.04), whereas samples near the refined cubic composition contain hexagonal Zr₅Pt₃O_x as well (Mn₅Si₃-type). The hexagonal structure of binary Zr₅Pt₃ was also refined (Mn₅Si₃ type, P6₃/mcm, a=8.210(1) Å, c=5.385(2) Å) and shown to be non-stoichiometric to at least Zr₅Pt_2.5.     

Effect of Transition Metals (Cu, Co and Fe) on the Autothermal Reforming of Methane over Ni/Ce0.2Zr0.1Al0.7Oδ Catalyst

The transition metals (Cu, Co, and Fe) were applied to modify Ni/Ce0.2Zr0.1 Al0.7Oδcatalyst. The effects of transition metals on the catalytic properties of Ni/Ce0.2Zr0.1 Al0.7Oδautothermal reforming of methane were investigated. The Ni-supported catalysts were characterized by XRD, TPR and XPS. Tests in autothermal reforming of methane to hydrogen showed that the addition of transition metals (Cu and Co) significantly increased the activity of catalyst under the conditions of lower reaction temperature, and Ni/Cu0.05Ce0.2Zr0.1Al0.65Oδwas found to have the highest conversion of CH4 among all catalysts in the operation temperatures ranging from 923 K to 1023 K. TPR, XRD and XPS measurements indicated that the cubic phases of CexZr1-xO2 solid solution were formed in the preparation process of catalysts. Strong interaction was found to exist between NiO and CexZr1-xO2 solid solution. The addition of Cu improved the dispersion of NiO, inhibited the formation of NiAl2O4, and thus significantly promoted the activity of the catalyst Ni/Cu0.05Ce0.2Zr0.1Al0.65Oδ.     

High performance protonic ceramic membrane fuel cells (PCMFCs) with Ba0.5Sr0.5Zn0.2Fe0.8O3−δ perovskite cathode

Protonic ceramic membrane fuel cells (PCMFCs) based on proton-conducting electrolytes have attracted much attention because of many advantages, such as low activation energy and high energy efficiency. BaZr_0.1Ce_0.7Y_0.2O_3−δ (BZCY7) electrolyte based PCMFCs with stable Ba_0.5Sr_0.5Zn_0.2Fe_0.8O_3−δ (BSZF) perovskite cathode were investigated. Using thin membrane BZCY7 electrolyte (about 15 μm in thickness) synthesized by a modified Pechini method on NiO-BZCY7 anode support, PCMFCs were assembled and tested by selecting stable BSZF perovskite cathode. An open-circuit potential of 1.015 V, a maximum power density of 486 mW cm⁻², and a low polarization resistance of the electrodes of 0.08 Ω cm² was achieved at 700 °C. The results have indicated that BZCY7 proton-conducting electrolyte with BSZF cathode is a promising material system for the next generation solid oxide fuel cells.     

A novel anode supported BaCe0.4Zr0.3Sn0.1Y0.2O3−δ electrolyte membrane for proton conducting solid oxide fuel cells

A novel BaCe_0.4Zr_0.3 Sn_0.1Y_0.2O_3−δ (BSY) electrolyte membrane with thickness of 20 μm was fabricated on NiO-based anode substrate via a one-step all-solid-state method followed by a co-sintering at 1450 °C for 5 h. Chemical stability test demonstrated that BSY electrolyte showed adequate chemical stability against CO₂ and H₂O at intermediate temperature. Besides, the doping of Sn also enhanced the conductivity in humidified hydrogen. With Nd_0.7Sr_0.3MnO_3−σ cathode and hydrogen fuel, the fuel cell generated maximum output of 320, 185 and 105 mW cm⁻² at 700, 650 and 600 °C, respectively. The interfacial resistance of the fuel cell was studied under open circuit conditions and the short-term cell performance also confirmed the stability of BSY electrolyte membrane.     

Conductivity studies of dense yttrium-doped BaZrO3 sintered at 1325 °C

High-temperature proton conductors have wide applications in the areas of fuel cells, electrolysis and hydrogen separation. Barium zirconate-based materials are of interest due to their good stability and high protonic conductivity. The reported conductivity of these ceramic materials is generally less than 10⁻² S/cm, even at high temperatures. This is not high enough for an electrolyte-supported device to achieve an ASR of less than 0.2 Ω cm² therefore thin film electrolytes are required for successful application. As BaZrO₃-based materials have to be sintered at temperatures as high as 1700 °C, this makes it difficult to find a suitable supporting electrode which will not undergo significant chemical reaction with the BaZrO₃-based electrolyte during fabrication of the required electrode supported electrolyte. In this paper, proton-conducting BaZr_0.8Y_0.2O_2.9 was successfully sintered at 1325 °C with a relative density of 96% via addition of 1 wt% ZnO. Fabrication of electrochemical cells using proton-conducting BaZr_0.8Y_0.2O_2.9 as the electrolyte thus becomes possible. The formula of the 1 wt% ZnO added sample is Ba_0.97Zr_0.77Y_0.19Zn_0.04O_3−δ which exhibits a tetragonal structure with space group P4/mbm (127); a=5.9787(1) Å, c=4.2345(1) Å, V=151.36(1) Å³. It was found that a solid solution was formed for a limited range of Zn doping. Conductivity has been studied as a function of atmosphere (air, dry and wet 5% H₂/Ar) with the changes in bulk and grain boundary on changing atmosphere being monitored as a function of time. The total conductivity of Ba_0.97Zr_0.77Y_0.19Zn_0.04O_3–δ is 1.0×10⁻³ S/cm above 600 °C therefore it may be used as a proton-conducting thin film electrolyte for efficient electrochemical devices at such temperatures. The grain boundary resistance is insignificant at high temperature for the well-sintered sample.     

O MAS NMR study of the oxygen local environments in the anionic conductors Y2(B1−xB′x)2O7(B, B′=Sn, Ti, Zr)

The local environments for oxygen in yttrium-containing pyrochlores and fluorites, Y₂(B_1−xB′_x)₂O₇ (B=Ti, B′=Sn, Zr) are investigated by using solid state ¹⁷O MAS NMR spectroscopy. The quadrupolar coupling constants of the nucleus, ¹⁷O are sufficiently small for these ionic oxides, that high-resolution spectra are obtained from the MAS spectra. Different oxygen NMR resonances are observed due to local environments with differing numbers of metal cations (Y³⁺, Sn⁴⁺, Ti⁴⁺ and Zr⁴⁺), allowing the numbers of different local environments to be quantified and cation mixing to be investigated. Evidence for pyrochlore-like local ordering is detected for Y₂Zr₂O₇, which nominally adopts the fluorite structure.     

Y2O3 and MgO co-doped ceria based electrolytes

Electrolytes of Ce_1-x-y Y _x Mg _y O_2-0.5x-y were prepared with citrate method and were characterized by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry, energy dispersive spectrometry, powder X-ray diffraction, and impedance spectroscopy. The effect of composition on the structure, conductivity, and stability of the electrolytes were investigated. When 0≤x≤ about 0.2 and 0≤y≤ about 0.05, the electrolytes were all single phase materials of ceria-based solid solution. However, when y> about 0.05, the electrolytes became two-phase materials, Y³⁺ and Mg²⁺ co-doped ceria-based solid solution and free MgO. The sample with nominal composition of Ce_0.815Y_0.065Mg_0.12O_2-d showed ionic conductivity at 973 K close to or even a little higher than that of similarly prepared Ce_0.9Gd_0.1O_1.95, but had lower cost of raw materials and a little better stability in reducing atmosphere. The existing of free MgO improved the stability of the electrolytes in reducing atmosphere, but too much free MgO reduced the conductivity.     

Physicochemical properties of the surface of the (Y,La0.1)Ce x Zr1? x O2?δ( x = 0.1–0.7) and Y0.1Pr0.3Zr0.6O2?δ complex oxide systems

The physicochemical properties of the surface of the Y_0.1Ce _x Zr_1−x O_2−δ, La_0.1Ce _x Zr_1−x O_2−δ (x=0.1–0.7), and Y_0.1Pr_0.3Zr_0.6O_2−δ. complex oxide systems were studied using IR and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies. An appreciable enrichment of the surface of the solids in rare-earth-metal cations (cerium or praseodymium) during the synthesis was revealed. While cations are uniformly spread over the surface of cerium-zirconium solid solutions, the Y_0.1Pr_0.3Zr_0.6O_2−δ surface is covered by the clusters or even a phase of praseodymia. Reductive treatment in hydrogen with subsequent reoxidation results in the segregation of cerium ions on the Y_0.1Ce_0.3Zr_0.6O_2−δ surface at a temperature as low as 770 K. Original Russian Text ?

Investigation on double perovskite Ba4Ca2Ta2O11

The structure, conductivity and water uptake of the oxygen-deficient perovskite-type compound Ba₄Ca₂Ta₂O₁₁ have been investigated. Ba₄Ca₂Ta₂O₁₁ crystallizes in the cryolite structure (cubic, Fm3m SG) with a = 8.4508(2) Å, under dry air. The compound can be partially hydrated up to a maximum water content of approximately 0.52 mol H₂O per mol Ba₄Ca₂Ta₂O₁₁. In moist air, the structure symmetry becomes monoclinic (C2/m) and the temperature dependence of total conductivity shows a different behavior because of changes in transport mechanism. Three regions can be observed as a function of temperature. For the low temperature range 200–400 °C, the protonic conduction is prevailing with an activation energy E_A = 0.85 eV. In the intermediate temperature range (400–600 °C), O²⁻ anionic and protonic conductions are mixed with an activation energy E_A = 0.45 eV and in the third region, for temperatures above 600 °C, O²⁻conduction is prevailing with an activation energy E_A = 0.85 eV.

用共沉淀法制得一系列铈锆比不同的Ce_0.3＋xZr_0.6－xY_0.1O_1.95储氧材料, 并用于制备了一系列低贵金属Pt＋Rh/Ce_0.3＋xZr_0.6－xY_0.1O_1.95＋Al₂O₃三效催化剂. 用比表面、程序升温还原以及X射线衍射对该系列催化剂进行表征, 结果发现, 催化剂的活性与催化剂中贵金属的还原性能密切相关, 低铈储氧材料比高铈储氧材料更有利于促进贵金属还原, 因而含低铈储氧材料催化剂的活性明显优于含高铈储氧材料催化剂的活性, Pt＋Rh/Ce_0.35Zr_0.55Y_0.1O_1.95＋Al₂O₃的活性最佳, 对HC, CO和NO的起燃温度最低分别为: 235, 175, 200 ℃. 样品经1000 ℃水热老化之后, 贵金属Pt被烧结而发生迁移, 使得催化剂的活性及还原性能变差, 含低铈材料的催化剂的抗老化性能优于含高铈材料的催化剂, 其中Pt＋Rh/Ce_0.35Zr_0.55Y_0.1O_1.95＋Al₂O₃的抗老化性能最好.     

Energetics of copper diphosphates – Cu2P2O7 and Cu3(P2O6OH)2

Differential scanning calorimetry and high temperature oxide melt solution calorimetry are used to study enthalpy of phase transition and enthalpies of formation of Cu₂P₂O₇ and Cu₃(P₂O₆OH)₂. α-Cu₂P₂O₇ is reversibly transformed to β-Cu₂P₂O₇ at 338–363 K with an enthalpy of phase transition of 0.15 ± 0.03 kJ mol⁻¹. Enthalpies of formation from oxides of α-Cu₂P₂O₇ and Cu₃(P₂O₆OH)₂ are −279.0 ± 1.4 kJ mol⁻¹ and −538.8 ± 2.7 kJ mol⁻¹, and their standard enthalpies of formation (enthalpy of formation from elements) are −2096.1 ± 4.3 kJ mol⁻¹ and −4302.7 ± 6.7 kJ mol⁻¹, respectively. The presence of hydrogen in diphosphate groups changes the geometry of Cu(II) and decreases acid–base interaction between oxide components in Cu₃(P₂O₆OH)₂, thus decreasing its thermodynamic stability.

Synthesis of nano-sized crystalline oxide ion conducting fluorite-type Y2O3-doped CeO2 using perovskite-like BaCe0.9Y0.1O2.95 (BCY) and study of CO2 capture properties of BCY

Formation of nano-sized Y₂O₃-doped CeO₂ (YCO) was observed in the chemical reaction between proton conducting Y₂O₃-doped BaCeO₃ (BCY) and CO₂ in the temperature range 700-1000 °C, which is generally prepared by wet-chemical methods that include sol-gel, hydrothermal, polymerization, combustion, and precipitation reactions. BCY can capture CO₂ of 0.13 g per ceramic gram at 700 °C, which is comparable to that of the well-known Li₂ZrO₃ (0.15 g per ceramic gram at 600 °C). Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), laser particle size analysis (LPSA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and ac impedance spectroscopy were employed to characterize the reaction product obtained from reaction between BCY and CO₂ and subsequent acid washing. PXRD study reveals presence of fluorite-like CeO₂ (a=5.410 (1) Å) structure and BaCO₃ in reaction products. TEM investigation of the acid washed product showed the formation of nano-sized material with particle sizes of about 50 nm. The electrical conductivity of acid washed product (YCO) in air was found to be about an order higher than the undoped CeO₂ reported in the literature.     

High-pressure preparation, crystal structure, and properties of the new rare-earth oxoborate β-Dy2B4O9

In this work we report about a new rare-earth oxoborate β-Dy₂B₄O₉ synthesized under high-pressure/high-temperature conditions from Dy₂O₃ and boron oxide B₂O₃ in a B₂O₃/Na₂O₂ flux with a walker-type multianvil apparatus at 8 GPa and 1000°C. Single crystal X-ray structure determination of β-Dy₂B₄O₉ revealed: , a=616.2(1) pm, b=642.8(1) pm, c=748.5(1) pm, α=102.54(1)°, β=97.08(1)°, γ=102.45(1)°, Z=2, R1=0.0151, wR₂=0.0475 (all data). The compound exhibits a new structure type which is built up from bands of linked BO₃- (Δ) and tetrahedral BO₄-groups (□). The Dy³⁺-cations are positioned in the voids between the bands. According to the conception of fundamental building blocks β-Dy₂B₄O₉ can be classified with the notation 2Δ6□:Δ3□=4□=3□Δ. Furthermore we report about temperature-resolved in situ powder diffraction measurements and IR-spectroscopic investigations on β-Dy₂B₄O₉.     

XRD and Si MAS-NMR spectroscopy across the β-Lu2Si2O7-β-Y2Si2O7 solid solution

Samples in the system Lu_2−xY_xSi₂O₇ (0?x?2) have been synthesized following the sol-gel method and calcined to 1300 °C, a temperature at which the β-polymorph is known to be the stable phase for the end-members Lu₂Si₂O₇ and Y₂Si₂O₇. The XRD patterns of all the compositions studied are compatible with the structure of the β-polymorph. Unit cell parameters are calculated as a function of composition from XRD patterns. They show a linear change with increasing Y content, which indicates a solid solubility of β-Y₂Si₂O₇ in β-Lu₂Si₂O₇ at 1300 °C. ²⁹Si MAS NMR spectra of the different members of the system agree with the XRD results, showing a linear decrease of the ²⁹Si chemical shift with increasing Y content. Finally, a correlation reported in the literature to predict ²⁹Si chemical shifts in silicates is applied here to obtain the theoretical variation in ²⁹Si chemical shift values in the system Lu₂Si₂O₇-Y₂Si₂O₇ and the results compare favorably with the values obtained experimentally.
