Local reactivity of O2 with Pt3 on Co3Pt and related backgrounds

We study the local reactivity of molecular oxygen with bimetallic substrates of a platinum trimer island supported on nanotips of CoPt, Pt, Co, Ni, and Fe. Because of the reduced interatomic distances and varying interaction strengths with the substrates, the supported island interaction with oxygen can be tuned from stronger to weaker relative to the interaction of a freestanding island with oxygen despite that there is no well-behaved trend with the binding energy of the island to the substrates.     

Propane oxidation with chemically bound oxygen on Pt/TiO2/Al2O3 and Pt/CeO2/Al2O3 catalysts

Possible mechanisms are suggested for propane oxidation on Pt/TiO₂/Al₂O₃ and Pt/CeO₂/Al₂O₃ catalysts in the cyclic reactant supply mode. As compared to the steady-state process, the process conducted as catalyst oxidation-reduction cycles results in a very different product composition: it is more selective toward partial oxidation products and yields much smaller amounts of complete oxidation products. It is established by isothermal and temperature-programmed oxygen desorption that, under the reaction conditions examined, the oxygen desorbed from the catalyst surface into the gas phase makes a negligible contribution to propane oxidation. It is proved by XPS that propane oxidation is due to the chemically bound oxygen of the catalyst. The hypothetical mechanism of the process includes propane activation on Pt followed by the transfer of the activated species to the oxygen-storing component (TiO₂ or CeO₂), where the intermediates are oxidized by chemically bound oxygen.     

Molar volumes of LiI in H2O and D2O solutions; Structural hydration interactions

According to a recent study of the H₂O and D₂O molar volume isotope effect (MVIE) of the alkali metal chloride solutions, neither the standard nor the excess MVIE of the LiCl corresponds to the usual hydrophilic hydration characteristics of the inorganic ions above room temperatures. This phenomenon can not be rationalized by electrostriction, with the collapse of the “loose” tetrahedral (“ice-like”) water structure due to the electrostatic (ion + dipole) interaction.It seemed possible that this unique hydration behaviour of the Li⁺ would be stronger and could reveal further structural information with a less hydrophilic anion than the chloride. Therefore we have determined the MVIE of the LiI as a function of temperature and concentration. The densities of normal and heavy water solutions of LiI have been measured with six-figure precision at T = (288.15, 298.15, and 308.15) K from (0.03 to 4) molal, m, using a vibrating-tube densitometer. The solvent isotope effect on the apparent molar volume, as well as on the solute and solvent partial molar volumes, was evaluated.As expected, with the rationalization of the MVIE of LiI instead of the geometric structural differences of the isotopic solvents, the energetic contributions have to be considered at all the temperatures investigated. At infinite dilution, a high degree of compensation between the reversed influences of the Li⁺ and I^? on the activities of the isotopic solvents determines the MVIE. By increasing concentration, the highly asymmetric energetic interactions of the Li⁺ and the I^? with the solvent apparently result in a “mutual salting-out” effect. At a concentration ≈0.7m, a uniquely abrupt structural rearrangement results in a “solvent-separated ion-pair” solution structure.     

Pt/Al2O3和Pt/CeO2/Al2O3催化甲烷部分氧化制合成气反应

研究了Pt/Al₂O₃和Pt/CeO₂/Al₂O₃对甲烷部分氧化制合成气反应的催化活性,发现Pt/CeO₂/Al₂O₃显示了更高的甲烷转化率和合成气选择性.用H₂-TPR、H₂-TPD、SEM-EDX和XRD等技术对催化剂进行了表征.CeO₂和Pt相互作用促进Pt在催化剂表面的分散,抑制Pt在催化剂表面的迁移;降低了催化剂的燃烧活性,提高了催化剂的部分氧化活性和选择性,可避免因催化剂床层局部温度过高而导致催化剂活性下降或失活,提高了催化剂的稳定性.同时,CeO₂通过促进水汽变换反应使反应体系迅速达到平衡,提高了催化剂对H₂的选择性.     

环己烷在Pt/HY-A12O3催化剂上加氢转化反应的研究

采用高压微型反应器，在压力为4．0MPa，温度260℃-350℃、氢油比为500：1、空速1．0h^-1条件下，研究了不同酸性载体HY-Al2O3，负载的铂(Pt)催化剂上环己烷的催化反应规律．结果表明，反应温度和载体酸性是影响催化剂异构化活性、裂化活性的两个重要因素，增加反应温度或提高催化剂酸性都会导致催化剂的异构化活性降低、裂化活性增强．当反应温度为290℃，含15％HY的Pt/HY-Al2O3，催化剂的异构化活性最好，异构化产物的选择性为91．6％，环己烷转化率为71．6％．提高催化剂载体中分子筛含量，有利于环己烷开环反应的发生，从产物的分布可以看出，在Pt/HY-Al2O3，催化剂上环己烷的开环过程是首先异构化为甲基环戊烷继而发生开环反应，反应最终达到平衡状态，致使开环产物中nH：3MP：2MP=1：1：2比值不变，开环机理符合β-断裂的正碳离子机理。     

Aromatization of Heptene-2 on Pt/Al2O3 Catalysts

Heptene-2 aromatization on Pt/Al₂O₃ in a pulse microcatalytic reactor has been studied under H₂ and N₂ atmosphere at temperatures between 330 to 500°C and at a total pressure of 4.0 kg/cm². Results showed that the production of only cracked products (mainly methane) from deep fragmentation of heptene-2 in H₂ sharply contrasts with the reaction in N₂ in which the catalyst showed aromatic selectivity with the production of methane, benzene and toluene. In H₂-N₂ mixtures, 75% H₂ was required to reduce the aromatization activity of the catalyst to zero. A test of the kinetic data using Sica's method [15] of pulse kinetic analysis suggests a first order in heptene-2 with an activation energy of 102.61 kJ/mol in N₂ and 124.71 kJ/mol in H₂. The difference in activation energies has been attributed to a difference in reaction mechanisms in both gases.     

Low O2 dissociation barrier on Pt(111) due to adsorbate-adsorbate interactions

O(2) dissociation on Pt(111) has been followed at low and saturation coverage using temperature-programmed x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and simulated with mean-field kinetic modeling, yielding dissociation (E(a)) and desorption (E(d)) barriers of 0.32 and 0.36 eV, respectively. Density functional theory calculations show that E(a) is strongly influenced by the O-O interatomic potential in the atomic final state: of the supercells considered, that which maximizes attractive third-nearest-neighbor interactions in the atomic final state yields both the lowest computed dissociation barrier (0.24 eV) and the best agreement with experiment. It is proposed that the effect of adsorbate-adsorbate interactions must be considered when modeling catalytic processes involving dissociative steps.     

An interaction model for OH + H2O-mixed and pure H2O overlayers adsorbed on Pt(111)

A model potential for the adsorbate-adsorbate interaction among OH and H2O molecules adsorbed on a Pt(111) surface has been developed solely based on first-principle calculations. By combining this directional-dependent model potential for the lateral interaction with a lattice model of Ising type, large length scale structure calculations can be made. The strength of different hydrogen bonds can be analyzed in detail from this model potential. It is found that the hydrogen bond between OH and H2O molecules is stronger than that between two H2O molecules (0.4 eV per pair as compared to 0.2 eV per pair, respectively). Via the computed chemical potential for water in mixed OH + H2O overlayers the water uptake as a function of oxygen precoverage on Pt(111) has been determined. The results compare very well with recent experiments.

Pt/Al2O3和Pt-Cu/Al2O3催化CCl4氢化脱氯反应

制备了Al2O3负载Pt单金属催化剂和负载Pt-Cu双金属催化剂,比较了二者不同还原温度对其催化CCl4氢化脱氯反应性能的影响。 单金属Pt催化剂上主要生成CHCl3,而双金属Pt-Cu催化剂上产物随催化剂制备时的还原温度不同而异,当催化剂经400 ℃用H2还原后产物主要为CHCl3,而当催化剂经800 ℃用H2还原后产物主要为CCl2CCl2。 由于CCl4氢化反应是强放热反应,催化剂表面局部过热使得在反应中生成的C2等产物聚合结焦,覆盖了催化剂的活性中心,导致催化剂失活。 因此,通过加入甲醇作为稀释剂以带走部分反应热可提高催化剂的稳定性。 同时也降低了CHCl3的选择性,提高了CCl2CCl2的选择性。     

甲烷部分氧化制合成气反应Pt/Al_2O_3和Pt/CeO2/Al_2O_3催化剂的研究(英文)

研究了Ｐｔ／Ａｌ２Ｏ３和Ｐｔ／ＣｅＯ２／Ａｌ２Ｏ３催化剂对甲烷部分氧化制合成气反应的催化活性，发现Ｐｔ／ＣｅＯ２／Ａｌ２Ｏ３显示了比Ｐｔ／Ａｌ２Ｏ３更高的甲烷转化率和合成气选择性。用Ｈ２ＴＰＲ，Ｈ２ＴＰＤ，ＳＥＭ和ＸＲＤ等手段和技术对催化剂进行了表征。ＣｅＯ２与Ｐｔ之间存在较强的相互作用（ＳＭＳＩ），这种作用促进了Ｐｔ在催化剂表面的分散，抑制了Ｐｔ在催化剂表面的迁移，大大降低了催化剂在反应中的完全燃烧活性，提高了催化剂的部分氧化活性和选择性，避免了因催化剂床层局部温度过高而导致催化剂活性下降或失活，提高了催化剂的稳定性。同时，在反应过程中，ＣｅＯ２通过促进水蒸气变换反应（ＷＧＳＲ）的进行使反应体系迅速达到平衡，提高了催化剂对Ｈ２的选择性。     

Calorimetric Study of Interaction Between Oxygen and β-Al2O3, β-Al2O3+Au and β-Al2O3+Pt

In an attempt to improve the understanding of the electrochemical effects observed on an original potentiometric gas sensor, interactions of oxygen with the device were investigated. These calorimetric measurements have evidenced the existence of a weakly bounded endothermal oxygen species. Moreover these species may be regarded to be responsible for the electrical response developed by the sensor. Such results, which are in agreement with a previously proposed model, validate the underlying hypothesis and shed light on the role of oxygen in the sensor’s responses. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Conversion of ethene and propene adsorbed on Pt foil

The interaction between adsorbed OH and O2 on TiO2 surfaces

Reduced TiO₂(110) surfaces usually have OH groups as a result of H₂O dissociation at oxygen vacancy defects. Because of excess electrons due to OH adsorption, OH/TiO₂ exhibit interesting properties favorable to further O₂ or H₂O adsorption. Both O₂ and H₂O can adsorb and easily diffuse on the OH/TiO₂ surface; such behavior plays a significant role in photocatalysis, heterogeneous catalysis, electronic devices and sensors. Indeed, the processes of H₂O dissociation, O₂ and H₂O diffusion on such TiO₂ surfaces, in the presence of OH groups, are important issues in their own right. Herein, the most recent experimental and theoretical progresses in understanding the interactions between adsorbed OH groups and O₂, or H₂O, over TiO₂(110) surfaces and their implications will be reviewed.     

Effect of the sulfonic acid group on copolymers of aniline and toluidine with m‐aminobenzene sulfonic acid

This article describes the results of the preparation and characterization of self‐doped conducting copolymers of aniline and toluidine with m‐aminobenzene sulfonic acid. The copolymers have an intrinsic acid group that is capable of doping polyaniline. Spectroscopic, morphological, and electrical conductivity studies have provided insight into the structural and electronic properties of the copolymers. The differences in the properties of polyaniline and polytoluidine due to the sulfonic acid ring substituent on the phenyl ring are discussed. The scanning electron micrographs of the copolymers reveal regions of sharp‐edged, needle‐shaped structures, whereas the X‐ray diffraction patterns show that the copolymers are relatively more crystalline in nature. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

苯对Pt/Ga2O3/WO3/ZrO2和Pd/Al2O3/WO2/ZrO2催化剂上正己烷异构化反应的影响

研究了苯对Pt/Ga2O3/WO3/ZrO2(PtGWZ)和Pd/Al2O3/WO3/ZrO2(PdAWZ)催化剂上正己烷异构化反应的影响.结果表明,苯可影响PtGWZ和PdAWZ上正己烷异构化反应性能,苯含量越高影响越显著.与PdAWZ相比较,苯对PtGWZ上正己烷异构化反应的影响相对较小;苯对PtGWZ上正己烷异构化反应活性的影响是可逆的,撤除苯后PtGWZ对正己烷异构化的催化性能可完全恢复;苯对PtGWZ上正己烷异构化反应的稳定性没有影响.苯对PdAWZ上正己烷异构化反应活性的影响足不可逆的,PdAWZ用于含苯正己烷异构化反应催化剂会逐渐失活.热失重法积炭分析结果表明,相同条件下,含苯正己烷异构化反应后,PtGWZ上的积炭量较PdAWZ上的积炭量少.分析讨论了苯对PtGWZ和PdAWZ上正己烷异构化反应影响差异性的原因.     

Effects of reduction temperature and metal-support interactions on the catalytic activity of Pt/gamma-Al2O3 and Pt/TiO2 for the oxidation of CO in the presence and absence of H2

TiO2- and gamma-Al2O3-supported Pt catalysts were characterized by HRTEM, XPS, EXAFS, and in situ FTIR spectroscopy after activation at various conditions, and their catalytic properties were examined for the oxidation of CO in the absence and presence of H2 (PROX). When gamma-Al2O3 was used as the support, the catalytic, electronic, and structural properties of the Pt particles formed were not affected substantially by the pretreatment conditions. In contrast, the surface properties and catalytic activity of Pt/TiO2 were strongly influenced by the pretreatment conditions. In this case, an increase in the reduction temperature led to higher electron density on Pt, altering its chemisorptive properties, weakening the Pt-CO bonds, and increasing its activity for the oxidation of CO. The in situ FTIR data suggest that both the terminal and bridging CO species adsorbed on fully reduced Pt are active for this reaction. The high activity of Pt/TiO2 for the oxidation of CO can also be attributed to the ability of TiO2 to provide or stabilize highly reactive oxygen species at the metal-support interface. However, such species appear to be more reactive toward H2 than CO. Consequently, Pt/TiO2 shows substantially lower selectivities toward CO oxidation under PROX conditions than Pt/gamma-Al2O3.
