FT-IR Study of the Adsorption of Propane and Propene on V2O5/γ-Al2O3 Catalyst

It has been observed on the oxidized V₂ O₅/γ-Al₂ O₃ that C₃H₆ form alkoxides which were converted to acetone during the desorption of adsorbate phase at 373 K. C₃ H₈ may form π-complexes on the reduced form of the same catalyst. However, the intensities of the bands in the adadsorption of C₃ H₈ were very weak as compared with the case of C₃ H₆ adsorption. Therefore, it was not reasonable to assign these bands clearly as any of the surface type species.     

Transfer-Free Graphene Growth on Dielectric Substrates: A Review of the Growth Mechanism

Ever since the more-than-decade-old discovery of application of mechanical exfoliation to obtain graphene, this 2-dimensional material was known for its soaring promise in various applications, owing to its excellent properties. Graphene, most popularly grown on metallic substrates by chemical vapour deposition, needs to be transferred onto dielectric substrates for multiple optical and electronic applications. During such complex and expensive transfer steps, defects are introduced into graphene, which deteriorates the quality and thus, properties of graphene. An alternative approach to surmount these problems is the elimination of the transfer process and to directly grow graphene on dielectric substrates, for future electronic and optical applications. This review presents a comprehensive and an up-to-date account of the development of synthesis methods, challenges and future directions for transfer-free graphene growth on dielectric substrates. Special emphasis is given on the fundamentals of growth mechanisms of various transfer-free graphene synthesis processes on dielectric materials.

Synthesis and catalytic activity of neutral salicylaldiminato nickel(II) complexes bearing a single N-heterocyclic carbene ligand

Neutral salicylaldiminato Ni(II) complexes bearing a single N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand [3,5-^tBu₂-2-(O)C₆H₂CHNAr]Ni(C{RNCHCHNⁱPr})Ph [Ar = 2,6-ⁱPr₂C₆H₃, R = Bn (1); Ar = 2,6-ⁱPr₂C₆H₃, R = ⁱPr (2)], have been synthesized via a one-pot procedure in high yield. The X-ray structure analysis reveals that both of 1 and 2 adopt distorted square-planar coordination geometry and NHC carbon (C_carbene) is trans to the ketimine nitrogen. Preliminary study indicates that complex 1 is inert toward the insertion of ethylene, however, it can catalyze the dimerization of ethylene in the presence of modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO) with a moderate activity of 3.05 × 10⁴ g(mol Ni)⁻¹ h ⁻¹ atm⁻¹ in a highly selective fashion.     

Light-off Performance of Three-Way Catalysts Before and After Accelerated Aging Test with an Engine-Dynamometer

This study demonstrates the reaction behavior during the purification of model automotive exhaust gases over Pd catalysts before and after thermal degradation. In particular, to investigate the relationship between the Pd state and the reaction behavior of Pd/Al₂O₃ and Pd/CeO₂−ZrO₂ (CZ), operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements were performed during purifying exhaust gases over real and model catalysts mimicking the degradation of Pd particles and CZ supports after accelerated aging tests. The NO reduction activity of the aggregated Pd metal species was as high as that of the highly dispersed Pd species, but hydrocarbon (HC) poisoning was significantly enhanced by the aggregation of Pd metal particles caused by thermal aging. The existence of a three-phase boundary (TPB) between the CZ, the Pd particles, and the gas phase strongly affected the catalytic activity at low temperatures, and the presence of a sufficient TPB facilitated the combustion of unburned HCs owing to the oxygen storage performance of CZ. Thus, the TPB reduced the poisoning of the precious metal surface by HC species at low temperatures. Therefore, the findings of this study will facilitate the development of next-generation gas purification catalysts with high activity and durability.

Benzyltributylammonium periodate as a novel and safe oxygen source for Mn-porphyrin catalyzed practical and highly selective oxygenation of hydrocarbons

Benzyltributylammonium periodate (BzBu₃NIO₄) was prepared easily in high yield in neat water. The compound crystallized with two cations and two anions per asymmetric unit and a space group of Pna2₁ was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It was used practically in the clean and selective epoxidation of olefins and oxygenation of saturated hydrocarbons catalyzed by manganese (III) porphyrins in water/ethanol as a green media. The catalyst could be reused without noticeable loss of activity, and the oxidant’s by-product (BzBu₃NIO₃) could also be reused. The efficiency of the oxidation system depends critically upon the steric hindrances and electronic structures of both the nitrogen donors and Mn-catalysts. Some evidences suggest the involvement of a high valent Mn-oxo species as well as a six-coordinate [(L)(Por)Mn-OIO₃] complex in the oxidation reactions.

Decomposition of molybdate–hexamethylenetetramine complex: One single source route for different catalytic materials

Decomposition of ammonium heptamolybdate–hexamethylentetramine (HMTA) complex (HMTA)₂(NH₄)₄Mo₇O₂₄·2H₂O was studied as a function of treatment conditions in the range 300–1173 K. The evolution of solid products during decomposition was studied by thermal analysis and in situ EXAFS. Depending on the nature of the gas used for treatment, single phases of highly dispersed nitrides Mo₂N, carbide Mo₂C, or oxide MoO₂ can be obtained. The nature of the products obtained was explained by qualitative thermodynamical considerations. Morphology of the solids considerably depends on such preparation parameters as temperature and mass velocity of the gas flow. For the nitride-based materials, catalytic activity was evaluated in the model thiophene HDS reaction. It was demonstrated that NH₃-treated samples showed better catalytic activity than N₂-treated ones due to cleaner surface and better morphology. Transmission microscopy, XRD and XPS studies showed that MoS₂ is formed on the surface during HDS reaction or sulfidation with H₂S. Optimized nitride-derived catalysts showed mass activity several times higher than unsupported MoS₂ or MoS₂/Al₂O₃ reference catalyst.
