Influence of reduction conditions on H2 adsorption in high-surface Rh/CeO2 catalysts as deduced by volumetry, calorimetry, and 1H NMR techniques

1H NMR spectra corresponding to H2 adsorption on high-surface Rh/CeO2 catalysts (S(BET) approximately 55 m2/g) are formed by two lines, attributed to hydrogen adsorbed on ceria (resonance line A) and rhodium-metal particles (upfield-shifted line B). The evolution of 1H NMR spectra as a function of temperature, time, and type of reduction (static or dynamic) allows the study of the progressive establishment of the strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) in Rh/CeO2 catalysts. As the reduction progresses, the mean adsorption heat and the amount of hydrogen adsorbed on the metal, deduced from volumetry, NMR, and calorimetry techniques, decrease considerably. As a consequence of the decrease in metal activity, the amount of hydrogen transferred to the support CeO2 is also reduced (spill-over processes). Outgassing of samples at 773 K eliminates hydrogen species retained at the metal-support surface, and oxidation treatments at 473 and 673 K eliminate the electronic effect and physical blocking of metal particles. The oxidation at 673 K recuperates the total adsorption capacity of metal particles. On the basis of these treatments, the contribution of different processes to the SMSI effect is analyzed. Electronic perturbation of rhodium particles is higher when reductions are performed in dynamic conditions; however, the importance of physical blocking of metal particles increases in static reductions. High reducibility of ceria strengthens electronic effects in Rh/CeO2 compared to those observed in Rh/TiO2 catalysts.

Temperature-programmed reduction and oxidation of bimetallic catalysts Rh?Ag/Al2O3

Investigations of temperature-programmed reduction and oxidation of bimetallic catalysts Rh–Al₂O₃ seem to indicate that there are no strong interactions between rhodium and silver. Bimetallic catalysts rather show the additive properties of individual components, i. e. rhodium and silver.

Mechanism of CO oxidation in excess H2 over CuO/CeO2 catalysts: ESR and TPD studies

The oxidation of CO with oxygen over (0.25–6.4)% CuO/CeO₂ catalysts in excess H₂ is studied. CO conversion increases and the temperature range of the reaction decreases by 100 K as the CuO content is raised. The maximal CO conversion, 98.5%, is achieved on 6.4% CuO/CeO₂ at 150°C. At T > 150°C, the CO conversion decreases as a result of the deactivation of part of the active sites because of the dissociative adsorption of hydrogen. CO is efficiently adsorbed on the oxidized catalyst to form CO-Cu⁺ carbonyls on Cu₂O clusters and is oxidized by the oxygen of these clusters, whereas it is neither adsorbed nor oxidized on Cu⁰ of the reduced catalysts. The activity of the catalysts is recovered after the dissociative adsorption of O₂ on Cu⁰ at T ～ 150°C. The activation energies of CO, CO₂, and H₂O desorption are estimated, and the activation energy of CO adsorption yielding CO-Cu⁺ carbonyls is calculated in the framework of the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model.     

Reduction behavior of Ru/CeO2 catalysts and their activity for wet oxidation

Three kinds of Ru/CeO₂ catalysts were prepared. The mobility of the oxygen on Ru and their catalytic activity in the wet oxidation of acetic acid was investigated. Ru was present in the form of RuO₂, and TPR experiment showed that the reaction, RuO₂ + 2H₂ Ru + 2H₂O, took place in different temperature ranges depending upon the kind of the catalysts. The catalyst with easily reducible oxygen on Ru had high activity in wet oxidation, and the importance of the release of oxygen from Ru to the reactant was suggested.     

Rh/SiO2催化剂上甲烷部分氧化制合成气的核磁共振研究

 利用1H MAS NMR技术,在甲烷部分氧化(POM)制合成气反应条件下研究了Rh/SiO2催化剂上氢与金属的相互作用及反应机理. 结果发现,氢气在Rh/SiO2上解离吸附后可能有四种存在形式: 化学位移为δ=-100～-120的可逆(αM)和不可逆(αI)吸附氢物种,δ=0～-100的“氢云”或“氢雾”形式的氢物种和δ=3.0的溢流氢物种. 溢流氢物种是由可逆吸附的氢物种和“氢云”或“氢雾”状态的氢物种溢流到SiO2上并弱吸附在桥式氧(Si-O-Si)附近而形成的. 溢流氢物种活化晶格氧,形成一种POM反应的活性氧物种OH-. 活性氧物种OH-反溢流到Rh上,并与CH4解离吸附在Rh上的CHx物种反应生成含氧中间物种CHxO. CHxO物种的化学位移为5～7. O2参与CHxO物种的进一步氧化,或补充溢流氢夺取桥式氧后形成的缺陷位上的晶格氧,在高温(973 K)反应条件下,O2可能优先补充缺陷位上的晶格氧,使CHx的氧化按表面反应机理进行.     

Characterization of trimetallic Pt-Pd-Au/CeO2 catalysts combinatorial designed for methane total oxidation

In the present work, the role and the effect of platinum and gold on the catalytic performance of ceria supported tri-metallic Pt-Pd-Au catalysts have been studied. The optimum composition of these tri-metallic supported catalysts has been discovered using methods and tools of combinatorial catalyst library design. Detailed catalytic, spectroscopic and physico-chemical characterization of catalysts in the vicinity of the optimum in the given compositional space has been performed. The temperature-programmed oxidation of methane revealed that the addition of Pt and Au to Pd/CeO2 catalyst resulted in higher conversion values in the whole investigated temperature range compared to the monometallic Pd catalyst. The time-on-stream experiments provided further evidence for the high-stability of tri-metallic catalysts compared to the monometallic one. Kinetic studies revealed the stronger adsorption of methane on Pt-Pd/CeO2 catalysts than over Pd/CeO2. XPS analysis showed that Pt and Au stabilize Pd in a more reduced form even under condition of methane oxidation. FTIR spectroscopy of adsorbed CO and hydrogen TPD measurements provided indirect evidences for alloying of Pt and Au with Pd. CO chemisorption data indicated that tri-metallic catalysts have increased accessible metallic surface area. It is suggested that advantageous catalytic properties of tri-metallic Pt-Au-Pd/CeO2 catalysts compared to the monometallic one can be attributed to (i) suppression of the formation of ionic forms of Pd(II), (ii) reaching an optimum ratio between Pd0 and PdO species, and (iii) stabilization of Pd in high dispersion. The results also indicate that Pd0 - PdO ensemble sites are required for methane activation.     

Polymerization of diphenylamine with friedel-crafts/oxidation catalysts to produce thermally stable polymers

The synthesis of polymers from diphenylamine by use of ferric chloride and aluminum chloride–cupric chloride catalyst–oxidant systems has been studied. Optimum conditions for yield and thermal stability were determined for the aluminum chloride–cupric chloride systems. Thermal stabilities in air were between 450 and 500°C. Infrared and ultraviolet spectra indicate that reaction has taken place by direct nuclear coupling.     

Rh/SiO~2和Rh/NaY催化剂上合成气反应的高压原位 红外光谱研究

采用高压原位FT-IR技术,对比研究了CO加H~2反应条件下Rh/SiO~2和Rh/NaY催化剂表面反应中间物种。在Rh/SiO~2表面上,无论在常压还是在1.0MPa合成气中,只观察到线式和桥式吸附CO。而在常压合成气中,Rh/NaY上不仅存在上述CO吸附物种,而且还有孪生型的Rh(Ⅰ)(CO)~2和少量Rh~6(CO)~1~6;当合成气压力升至1.0MPa后,Rh(Ⅰ)(CO)~2迅速转化成Rh~6(CO)~1~6和在2042cm^-^1产生吸收的单核羰基Rh物种,与此同时催化剂表面还生成了单齿和双齿乙酸根物种;这些在高压下生成的物种在合成气压力重新降回到常压时依然稳定存在。研究Rh/NaY上合成气反应表面物种与H~2的反应行为表明单齿乙酸根很可能是反应的活性中间物。这些结果说明Rh/NaY催化剂在高压合成气中的重构是诱发选择生成乙酸反应的基础。     

Au/ZrLa掺杂 CeO2催化剂在CO氧化反应中优异的催化活性：锆镧协同作用

在过去的25年,纳米金催化剂上 CO氧化反应得到广泛研究,但始终没有一致的结论。这是因为影响纳米金催化活性的因素很多,包括金的价态、载体的性质、氧空位、金属与载体之间的相互作用等,尤其是各影响因素之间相互牵制,增加了催化反应机理的研究难度。氧化铈载体表面氧缺陷的浓度较高,有利于活性金属组分在其表面的稳定和分散,因此氧化铈纳米晶负载的 Au催化剂受到广泛关注。此外,当 CeO2晶格中部分 Ce被化学性质不同的其它元素取代后,可以促进 CeO2晶格氧的活化,提高氧的储放能力,从而有利于催化反应进行。因此,本文采用水热法合成了组成均匀的 CeO2, CeZrOx和 CeZrLaOx三个载体,并通过沉淀-沉积法负载金。利用 X射线衍射(XRD)、拉曼光谱(Raman)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、高分辨透射电镜(HRTEM)、X射线吸收精细结构(XAFS)和氢气程序升温还原(H2-TPR)等技术分析了催化剂的物相结构、表面性质、形貌以及金纳米颗粒的大小和价态等性质,并结合其在 CO氧化反应中催化性能的差异,探讨影响金催化剂活性的关键因素。 XRD, TEM, HRTEM和 XAFS结果表明,三个载体上所得金纳米颗粒的平均尺寸都在2–4 nm,且分散较好; XPS结果表明,影响催化剂活性的关键因素不是金的价态,而是载体表面的活性氧物种。从Raman结果可知,掺杂后的氧化铈载体上氧空位浓度明显增加,因而催化剂活性都有所提高。 H2-TPR进一步探讨了三个载体以及负载金后其氧化还原能力的变化,结果表明,金和载体之间的相互作用可以增强载体的氧化还原性能以及表面氧空位浓度,进一步提高了催化剂活性,而负载金催化剂氧化还原性能的变化与载体的组成密切相关。由于锆的掺杂可使金与载体之间相互作用减弱,而镧则增强了二者间相互作用,因此 Au/CeZrLaOx催化剂上锆和镧的协同掺杂作用使其表面活性氧物种浓度最高,低温时表现出最高的催化活性。     

XPS study of the SnO2 films modified with Rh

In this paper, we have analyzed the effect of the rhodium surface modification on the surface state of SnO₂ films. SnO₂ films, subjected for the surface modification, were deposited by spray pyrolysis, while Rh was deposited by using a microelectron beam evaporation. The thickness of the Rh coating varied in the range 0 to 0.1 monolayer. An explanation of the observed effects was proposed. Basing on the results of X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, it was assumed that at a small thickness of the rhodium covering, Rh was in a the well‐dispersed state, close to atomically dispersed state. The growth in the size of the nanoparticles began mainly when the thickness of the Rh covering exceeeded 0.01 monolayer. The size of clusters did not exceed 0.5 to 1.0 nm.     

Low-temperature CO oxidation over CuO-CeO2/SiO2 catalysts：Effect of CeO2 content and carrier porosity

The effects of CeO2 contents and silica carder porosity with their pore diameters ranging from 5.2 nm to 12.5 nm of CuO-CeO2/SiO2 catalysts in CO oxidation were investigated. The catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption/desorption at low temperature, X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature-programmed reduction by H2 (H2-TPR), oxygen temperature programmed desorption (O2-TPD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results suggested that, the ceria content and the porosity of SiO2 carder possessed great impacts on the structures and catalytic performances of CuO-CeO2/SiO2 catalysts. When appropriate content of CeO2(Ce content ≤8 wt%) was added, the catalytic activity was greatly enhanced. In the catalyst supported on silica carrier with larger pore diameter, higher dispersion of CuO was observed, better agglomeration-resistant capacity was displayed and more lattice oxygen could be found, thus the CuO-CeO2 supported on Si-1 showed higher catalytic activity for low-temperature CO oxidation.     

Carbon monoxide oxidation at room temperature on Pt/CeO2-ZrO2-Bi2O3 catalysts

A novel Pt/CeO(2)-ZrO(2)-Bi(2)O(3) catalyst was prepared to realize complete CO oxidation at room temperature or below even in the presence of moisture. Using this catalyst, a high CO oxidation activity and a high stability against moisture have been realized simultaneously.     

XPS and TEM characterization of pure and Th, Pr or Ce oxide containing Rh/SiO2 catalysts

Summary The promotor action of thoria and rare earth oxides in Rh/SiO₂ catalysts for syngas conversion to ethanol has been examined using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The catalysts were investigated after calcination, reduction and synthesis, and in some cases after in situ synthesis experiments by XPS measurements. Changes in surface composition and oxidation state of the metals as a function of treatment conditions and kind of added promotor are discussed. Special care has to be taken with respect to the determination of the active Rh species since the Rh compounds were reduced during the XPS measurements. In no case carbon deposition or loss in surface area was observed during synthesis. With the exception of praseodymium containing catalysts, all catalysts exhibited a homogeneous distribution of metal and promotor over the whole surface. Cerium addition led to Rh-Ce interactions after reduction and synthesis runs. The metal particles of catalysts prepared from nitrate solutions were of spherical shape and a growth in size up to a diameter of about 3.5 nm was observed after the synthesis treatments. Catalyst preparation using chloride solutions drastically altered the surface properties. Chlorine remnants, only observable after calcination, led to partly negatively charged rhodium species after reduction, and no formation of crystallites could be seen by TEM independent of the applied treatment, additionally no CO was chemisorbed on the reduced catalyst.     

Liquid-phase hydrogenation of 1-alkenes over Rh/AlPO4 and Rh/sepiolite catalysts

The catalytic activity of Rh (1 wt.%) catalysts supported on AlPO₄ and sepiolite has been studied in the liquid-phase hydrogenation of linear 1-alkenes. The reaction orders with respect to 1-alkene concentration are negative but are first order with respect to hydrogen, indicating that 1-alkene adsorbs very strongly on Rh sites and alkene and H₂, compete for adsorption sites on the surface. The initial hydrogenation rates increase in the order 1-hexene < 1-heptene < 1-octene, and furthermore, on going from 1-hexene to 1-octene the steric effects (through ΔS^≠) are activating, while electronic effects (from ΔH^≠) deactivate the reaction process. A cis-concerted mechanism taking place in a single step on a Rh site with three coordinative unsaturations which can simultaneously adsorb hydrogen and a π-bonded alkene is suggested.     

Comparative study of CeO2 and doped CeO2 with tailored oxygen vacancies for CO oxidation

We report on the preparation and characterization of CeO(2) nanofibers (CeO(2)-NFs) and nanocubes (CeO(2)-NCs), as well as Sm- and Gd-doped CeO(2) nanocubes (Sm-CeO(2)-NCs and Gd-CeO(2)-NCs), synthesized by a simple hydrothermal process for CO catalytic oxidation. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Their oxygen-storing capacity (OSC) was examined by means of hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction (H(2)-TPR) and oxygen pulse techniques. Their catalytic properties for CO catalytic oxidation were comparatively investigated. The results showed that the CeO(2)-NFs possessed a higher catalytic activity compared to the CeO(2)-NCs because of their smaller size and the greater number of oxygen vacancies. The activity of the Sm-CeO(2)-NCs was higher than that of the CeO(2)-NCs due to an increase in the number of oxygen vacancies, which results from the substitution of Ce(4+) species with Sm(3+) ions. In contrast, Gd doping had a negative effect on the CO catalytic oxidation due to the special electron configuration of Gd(3+) (4f(7)). Our work demonstrates that the oxygen vacancies in pure CeO(2) and the electron configuration of the dopants in doped CeO(2) play an important role in CO oxidation.

CeO2、CaO助剂对甲烷部分氧化制合成气Ni/MgOAl2O3催化剂结构和性能的影响

采用BET、H2 TPR、XRD、TEM和活性评价等表征手段，考察了CeO2、CaO助剂对Ni/MgOAl2O3催化剂物化性质和甲烷部分氧化制合成气反应性能的影响。实验结果表明，单独加入CeO2或CaO助剂可以改善Ni/ MgOAl2O3催化剂中镍物种的还原性能，以CaO尤为明显；CaO作为结构助剂可以降低还原态催化剂中的镍晶粒尺寸，使改性的催化剂具有较好的活性，而CeO2对催化剂的活性未产生显著影响。当CeO2与CaO两种助剂同时对Ni/MgOAl2O3进行改性时，虽然催化剂中镍物种的还原性能没有发生明显变化，但仍具有很好的反应性能，这与CeO2与CaO能够形成CaO-CeO2固溶体有关。CaO-CeO2固溶体不仅与镍物种间存在相互作用，提高了镍物种的分散度、减小了镍晶粒尺寸，还可以提高催化剂的储氧能力和晶格氧的流动性，从而有利于改善其甲烷部分氧化反应性能。     

Influence of CeO2 addition on the physicochemical and catalytic properties of Pd/TiO2 catalysts in CO oxidation

The influence of CeO₂ addition on the formation of the microstructure, electronic state, and catalytic properties of Pd/TiO₂ supported catalysts in CO oxidation were investigated. It was shown that, when Pd is supported on titanium dioxide modified with cerium dioxide, annealing at 500°C results in the formation of Pd/(CeO₂-TiO₂) catalysts with a nanocrystalline structure composed of incoherently intergrown fine anatase crystals and interblock boundaries in which palladium and cerium are stabilized. The higher catalytic activity of Pd/(CeO₂-TiO₂) catalysts compared to Pd/TiO₂ catalysts is explained by the smaller size of Pd particles and the higher proportion of palladium in the Pd^δ+ state.
