甲醇在Pt-Mo(111)/C表面上的吸附

采用密度泛函理论和周期平板模型相结合的方法, 对CH3OH分子在Pt-Mo(111)/C表面的顶位、穴位和桥位共计9种吸附模型进行了构型优化、能量计算和频率分析, 结果表明top-Pt位是较有利的吸附位. Mo掺杂后价带与导带位置均有不同程度的降低, 电子结构的变化使得Pt-Mo(111)/C的催化活性提高. 并且在考虑催化剂抗中毒性能时发现: CO在Pt(111)/C面上的吸附能比甲醇吸附能要高, CO在Pt-Mo(111)/C上的吸附能比甲醇的要低, 说明CO在Pt(111)/C面上的吸附会阻碍甲醇的吸附, 并影响催化过程的进行, 而Pt-Mo(111)/C的抗CO中毒化能力增强, 是催化氧化甲醇较好的催化剂.     

甲醇氧化PtSnCo/C阳极催化剂

通过乙二醇液相分步还原法制备了金属质量分数为20%的PtSn/C二元及PtSnCo/C三元催化剂.采用X射线衍射(XRD)光谱法、能量散射谱(EDS)对催化剂进行了表征;通过阳极线性伏安扫描法(LSV)、连续循环伏安法(CV)、预吸附单层CO溶出法研究了其电化学性质.结果表明,PtSnCo/C三元催化剂较商业化JM-PtRu/C催化剂具有更好的氧化甲醇催化活性.循环伏安扫描100圈后发现,PtSn/C二元催化剂的甲醇氧化峰电流快速衰减到其初始氧化峰电流的11%左右,而PtSnCo/C三元催化剂仅衰减到其初始值的50%左右,这表明PtSnCo/C三元催化剂具有更好的化学稳定性.在PtSnCo/C催化剂上,甲醇氧化起始电位比直接吸附CO后的CO阳极溶出电位负,意味着甲醇在PtSnCo/C催化剂上氧化的中间产物不是CO,而是比CO更为活泼且易于氧化的中间物种.     

甲醇电氧化催化剂Pt/CeO2-CNTs与PtRu/C的比较研究

为认识合成催化剂Pt/CeO2-CNTs与商用催化剂PtRu/C(E-TEK)的催化性能和结构特点, 用CO溶出法和恒电位氧化法比较了这两种催化剂对CO的电氧化活性, 运用循环伏安法和恒电位氧化法比较了这两种催化剂对甲醇的电氧化活性. CO电氧化实验结果表明, PtRu/C上CO的电氧化活性明显优于Pt/CeO2-CNTs; 甲醇电氧化实验结果却表明, Pt/CeO2-CNTs与PtRu/C上甲醇电氧化表观活性相当. 为从结构特点上解释PtRu/C上CO电氧化和甲醇电氧化活性的不一致, 对PtRu/C进行了循环伏安扫描和CO溶出实验. 结果表明, PtRu/C的甲醇电氧化电流之所以没有预期高, 一是由于Pt比表面积不够大, 同时Pt-Ru之间协同作用有待提高. 本研究结果表明, 尽管Ru对Pt上CO电氧化有显著助催化作用, 但要充分发挥其对Pt上甲醇电氧化的助催化作用, 需同时提高Pt表面积和Pt-Ru接触界面. 该结论对设计甲醇电氧化催化剂具有普适意义.     

PtRu/C电催化剂上甲醇吸附氧化过程的电化学原位红外光谱

采用调变的多元醇法制备了高分散的Pt/C, PtRu/C和Ru/C电催化剂. XRD计算结果表明, PtRu/C电催化剂的平均粒径和合金度分别为2.2 nm和71%. 采用电化学方法和原位傅里叶变换红外反射光谱方法(in situ FTIRS)研究了甲醇在3种电催化剂上的吸附氧化过程, 发现PtRu/C对甲醇的催化活性明显高于Pt/C, Ru的加入一方面影响了甲醇在Pt上的解离吸附性能, 另一方面提供了Ru-OH物种, 从而抑制了低电位下电催化剂中毒. 红外光谱研究结果表明, 线性吸附态CO(COL)是主要毒化物种, 反应产物主要是CO2, 还有少量的甲酸甲酯. 根据实验结果讨论了甲醇在PtRu/C电催化剂上的氧化机理.     

甲醇在欠电位沉积Sn/Pt电极上催化氧化

在欠电位沉积（upd）锡修饰的铂电极（upd-Sn/Pt）上,对甲醇电化学催化氧化过程进行了研究.发现当Pt表面upd-Sn的覆盖率在20％附近时,对甲醇的催化氧化的增强作用最为明显；在电位低于0.35 V （vs RHE）时,甲醇在Pt与upd-Sn/Pt电极上氧化只进行到脱氢生成CO的步骤;在0.35 V以后,表面Sn－OH形成,反应Sn－OH＋COads=Sn＋CO2＋H＋＋e有利于表面CO的去除;而Pt电极上,只有0.6 V以后,才有反应Pt－OH＋COads=Pt＋CO2＋H＋＋e发生.因此,Sn的存在有利于甲醇在较低的电位下氧化; Pt电极上CH3OH脱氢并释放出电子的过程是一个快速的过程,表面CO的去除是甲醇氧化过程的控制步骤;甲醇氧化产生的表面吸附态CO 以线式吸附为主,少量的桥式吸附态CO在反应初期即达到吸附饱和; Pt表面上upd-Sn表现的催化增强作用,在光亮铂电极和在高分散铂黑电极上是一致的.     

Pt-Ru/GC电极对甲醇电催化氧化的研究

利用循环伏安法制备了Pt-Ru/GC电极并用于对甲醇的电催化氧化研究,考察了Pt、Ru原子比、沉积电位下限和沉积量对电极催化性能的影响,研究了电极催化性能的稳定性。结果表明Ru的加入对电极催化性能具有明显的改善作用,对甲醇的氧化电位范围明显变宽,氧化电流明显增大,电极的稳定性明显高于Pt/GC电极。在Pt、Ru原子比为1:1、沉积电位下限为-0.2V、沉积量为40r的条件下,Pt-Ru/GC电极对甲醇电催化氧化的性能最好。     

Pt-Mo电极上CO、甲醛和甲醇的电催化氧化-微分电化学质谱研究

利用微分电化学质谱（DEMS）研究了Mo修饰的Pt电极上CO、甲醛和甲醇的电催 化氧化,证实了Mo(IV)是催化活性样品,而且它只对弱吸附CO的氧化起催化作用, 对强吸附CO的氧化没有催化活性。在低于0.4 V的电位下,吸附在Pt电极上的Mo结 甲醇和甲醛的催化氧化是通过弱吸附CO的氧化路径进行的。     

Pt-Mo电极上CO、甲醛和甲醇的电催化氧化-微分电化学质谱研究

利用微分电化学质谱（DEMS）研究了Mo修饰的Pt电极上CO、甲醛和甲醇的电催 化氧化，证实了Mo(IV)是催化活性样品，而且它只对弱吸附CO的氧化起催化作用， 对强吸附CO的氧化没有催化活性。在低于0.4 V的电位下，吸附在Pt电极上的Mo结 甲醇和甲醛的催化氧化是通过弱吸附CO的氧化路径进行的。     

Pt/C催化剂的硅钼酸电化学修饰

通过电化学循环伏安法将硅钼酸修饰到Pt/C催化剂表面, 比较了硅钼酸修饰对Pt/C催化剂上CO、甲醇及乙醇电氧化反应的影响. CO消除伏安测试结果表明, 用硅钼酸修饰后的Pt/C催化剂上吸附的CO的起始氧化电势和峰电势, 与修饰前相比分别降低了80和60 mV, 表明修饰后Pt/C催化剂的抗CO性能有明显提高. 对于甲醇的电氧化反应, 硅钼酸的修饰不仅提高了甲醇电氧化的电流密度, 而且降低了甲醇的起始氧化电势, 促进了中间氧化产物的脱除；而在乙醇的电氧化反应中, 硅钼酸修饰虽对Pt/C催化剂上乙醇的起始氧化电势没有影响, 但能增加乙醇电氧化的电流密度.     

Pt-CNTs 修饰玻碳电极(Pt-CNTs/GC)电氧化活性的研究

采用透射电镜(TEM)和选区电子衍射(SAED)技术, 分别表征了Pt-CNTs/GC电极的表面形貌和所负载铂纳米原子簇的结构. 以CO和CH3OH为探针分子, 用循环伏安和计时电流等常规电化学方法检测了CO和CH3OH在Pt-CNTs/GC电极上的氧化行为. 研究结果表明, CO在Pt-CNTs/GC电极上有3个氧化电流峰(Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ), 其中峰Ⅰ为CO桥式吸附的氧化峰, 而峰Ⅱ和Ⅲ则分别为CO线形吸附在碳纳米管负载的不同粒径的Pt纳米原子簇以及Pt原子薄膜上所分裂的氧化峰; CH3OH在Pt-CNTs/GC电极上也能自发解离吸附强吸附中间体CO; Pt-CNTs/GC电极对CH3OH的氧化峰电流不总是随CNTs上载铂量的增加而增大, 表明在制备直接甲醇燃料电池阳极时, 应选择合适的载铂量.

Simultaneous propane dehydrogenation andco2hydrogenation overCrOx/SiO2catalyst

Summary Single reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) and dehydrogenation of propane with CO₂(DH-CO₂) reactions in the presence and absence of the CrO_x/SiO₂ catalyst have been studied between 673 and 873 K. It was found that the CrO_x/SiO₂ catalyst is active both in the dehydrogenation of propane and in the RWGS reactions. The obtained results suggest that the dehydrogenation of propane to propene in the presence of CO₂on CrO_x/SiO₂can be facilitated by the RWGS reaction.</o:p>     

Direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate ?from CH3OH AND CO2 by H3PW12O40/CexTi1-xO2 catalyst

Summary Ce_xTi_1-xO₂ and H₃PW₁₂O₄₀/Ce_xTi_1-xO₂ catalysts were prepared using a sol-gel method, and applied to the direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate from methanol and carbon dioxide. H₃PW₁₂O₄₀/Ce_xTi_1-xO₂ showed a better catalytic performance than the corresponding Ce_xTi_1-xO₂, due to the bifunctional catalysis of Br?nsted acid sites (provided by H₃PW₁₂O₄₀) and base sites (provided by Ce_xTi_1-xO₂). H₃PW₁₂O₄₀/Ce_0.1Ti_0.9O₂ showed the highest catalytic performance among the H₃PW₁₂O₄₀/Ce_xTi_1-xO₂ catalysts.     

Oxygen defect K2NiF4-type oxides: The compounds La2−xSrxCuO4−x2+δ

Oxygen defect K₂NiF₄-type oxides $\text{La}{}_{\mathrm{2?x}}\text{Sr}{}_{\mathrm{x}}\text{CuO}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>4?</mtext><mtext>x</mtext><mtext>2</mtext><mtext>+\delta </mtext>}}$ have been synthesized for a wide composition range: 0 ≤ x ≤ 1.34. From the X-ray and electron diffraction study three domains have been characterized: orthorhombic compounds with La₂CuO₄ structure for 0 ≤ x < 0.10, tetragonal oxides similar to LaSrCuO₄ for 0.10 ≤ x < 1 and several superstructures derived from the tetragonal cell ( with n = 3, 4, 4.5, 5, 6) for 1 ≤ x ≤ 1.34. The compounds corresponding to 0 < x < 1 differ from the other oxides in that they are characterized by the presence of copper with two oxidation states: + 2 and + 3. A model structure for La_0.8Sr_1.2CuλO_3.4, in which copper has only the + 2 oxidation state, and for which the actual cell is tegragonal—a = 18.80₄ Å and c = 12.94 Å—has been established. The particular structural evolution of these compounds is discussed in terms of a competition between the capability of Cu(II) to be oxidized to Cu(III) and the ordering of oxygen vacancies.

A study of the spinel materials LiTi2O4 and Li43Ti53O4 by photoelectron spectroscopy

HeI-excited valence-band ultraviolet photoelectron spectra and MgKα-excited Ti-2p X-ray photoelectron spectra are reported for the spinel materials LiTi₂O₄ and $\text{Li}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>4</mtext><mtext>3</mtext>}}\text{Ti}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>5</mtext><mtext>3</mtext>}}\text{O}{}_4$. The presence of a Fermi edge in the ultraviolet photoelectron spectrum of LiTi₂O₄ confirms the metallic nature of this material, although the measured density of states at the Fermi energy is much lower than that expected from an independent-electron interpretation of the magnetic susceptibility. This difference is attributed to a strong interaction of the conduction electrons with the lattice vibrations. The localization of conduction electrons that occurs in the final state in the Ti-2p X-ray photoelectron spectrum of LiTi₂O₄ is attributed to a Coulomb interaction with a core hole.     

LixNi0.8-yCo0.2ZnyOp的合成及电化学性能研究

A series of single-phase Li_xNi_0.8-yCo_0.2Zn_yO_p(0.96 ≤x≤ 1.10， 0 ≤y≤ 0.05， 2 ≤p≤ 2(1+y) ) (different in the y values) were synthesized by a two-step solid state reaction method， in which LiOH·H₂O， Zn-doped spherical Ni(OH)₂ and Co₂O₃ were used as the precursors. The ICP-AES analyses proved that the Zn-doped compounds synthesized had the nonstoichiometric form. The results of the XRD， SEM identified that the uniform particles of the as-prepared materials having a good layered structure were fine， narrowly distributed and well crystallized. The electrochemical performance test was carried out and the results showed that the as-prepared Zn-doped materials had not only a high capacity， but also a better cycling stability characterization than the un-doped one. The Li_1.06Ni_0.75Co_0.22Zn_0.03O_2.03 material has an initial reversible capacity as high as 160.5mAh·g^-1; and a first discharge efficiency 89.2%， and exhibits satisfactory cyclic stability with 90% retainable capacity after 50 cycles.     

Synthesis and characterization of Ti1−2xNbxNixO2−x/2 solid solutions

Doped-rutile has been traditionally used in ceramic pigments for its intense optical properties. In this paper, we compare the classical ceramic synthesis of Ti_1−2xNb_xNi_xO_2−x/2 system with the sol-gel methodology, which allows a reduction of the anatase-rutile transformation temperature. The composition was optimised in order to obtain a unique rutile phase with the minimum amount of pollutant Ni(II) and enhanced chromatic coordinates. Incorporation of the doping ions in the rutile structure was corroborated by XRD and Rietveld refinements. The species responsible for the colour mechanism were studied by different techniques. UV-VIS spectroscopy showed the characteristic features of Ni²⁺ ions, whose existence was corroborated by EPR and magnetic measurements. From these results, (Ni,Nb)doped-TiO₂ powder samples can be now shaped as thin films, monoliths, etc. by using sol-gel methodology without modifying their properties. This study introduces new possibilities of coloured TiO₂-based solid solutions in new combined advanced applications (colouring agent and photocatalyst, etc.).
