A couple of toluene (TL) and its hydrogenation product, methylcyclohexane (MCH), are promising high-density hydrogen carriers to store and transport large amounts of hydrogen. Electrochemical hydrogenation of TL to MCH can achieve energy savings compared with hydrogenation using molecular hydrogen generated separately, and development of highly active catalysts for electrochemical TL hydrogenation is indispensable. In this study, binary Pt3M (M = Rh, Au, Pd, Ir, Cu and Ni) alloy nanoparticle-loaded carbon catalysts were prepared by a colloidal method, and their activity for electrochemical TL hydrogenation was evaluated by linear sweep voltammetry. Each Pt3M electrode was initially activated by 100 cycles of potential sweep over a potential range of 0–1.2 or 0.8 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE). For all activated Pt3M electrodes, the cathodic current density for electrochemical TL hydrogenation was observed above 0 V, that is the standard potential of hydrogen evolution reaction. Both specific activity, cathodic current density per electrochemical surface area, and mass activity, cathodic current density per mass of Pt3M, at 0 V for the Pt3Rh/C electrode were the highest, and about 8- and 1.2-times as high as those of the commercial Pt/C electrode, respectively, which could mainly be attributed to electronic modification of Pt by alloying with Rh. The Tafel slope for each activated Pt3M/C electrode exhibited the alloying of Pt with the second metals did not change the electrochemical TL hydrogenation mechanism.

Hydrogenation of nitrogen oxide in acid solutions on Pt-C catalysts proceeds in dependence on experimental conditions either in purely diffusion region or in the diffusion and kinetically controlled region. The boundary between these two processes shifts to the higher ratio of NO to H2 partial pressures with increasing platinum content and decreasing intensity of agitation.

Facet-selective gold or platinum-nanoparticle deposition on decahedral-shaped anatase titania particles (DAPs) exposing {001} and {101} facets via photodeposition (PD) from metal-complex sources was reexamined using DAPs prepared with gas-phase reaction of titanium (IV) chloride and oxygen by quantitatively evaluating the area deposition density on {001} and {101} and comparing with the results of deposition from colloidal metal particles in the dark (CDD) or under photoirradiation (CDL). The observed facet selectivity, more or less {101} preferable, depended mainly on pH of the reaction suspensions and was almost non-selective at low pH regardless of the deposition method, PD or CDL, and the metal-source materials. Based on the results, the present authors propose that facet selectivity is attributable to surface charges (zeta potential) depending on the kind of facets, {001} and {101}, and pH of the reaction mixture and that this concept can explain the observed facet selectivity and possibly the reported facet selectivity without taking into account facet-selective reaction of photoexcited electrons and positive holes on {101} and {001} facets, respectively.

In the present research, activated carbon-supported sulfonic acid catalysts were synthesized and tested as pretreatment agents for the conversion of switchgrass into glucose. The catalysts were synthesized by reacting sulfuric acid, methanesulfonic acid, and p-toluenesulfonic acid with activated carbon. The characterization of catalysts suggested an increase in surface acidities, while surface area and pore volumes decreased because of sulfonation. Batch experiments were performed in 125 mL serum bottles to investigate the effects of temperature (30, 60, and 90 °C), reaction time (90 and 120 min) on the yields of glucose. Enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated switchgrass using Ctec2 yielded up to 57.13% glucose. Durability tests indicated that sulfonic solid-impregnated carbon catalysts were able to maintain activity even after three cycles. From the results obtained, the solid acid catalysts appear to serve as effective pretreatment agents and can potentially reduce the use of conventional liquid acids and bases in biomass-into-biofuel production.

Ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) was employed as a support for palladium nanoparticles in catalysts for the gas phase hydrodechlorination (HDC) of trichloromethane (TCM). 1 wt% palladium was incorporated using three methods: incipient wetness (IW); a dilute solution (DS) method; and a solid-liquid (SL) method. The effect of the preparation method on catalyst structure and activity was investigated. Catalyst composition and nanostructure were studied using gas physisorption, high specification transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Catalytic conversion and product selectivities were determined in steady-state activity tests at temperatures between 70 and 300 °C. Two of the catalysts (IW and DS) showed excellent dispersion of fine Pd nanoparticles of average diameter ~2 nm. These materials showed excellent activity for HDC of TCM which compares favourably with the performance reported for Pd on amorphous carbon catalysts. In addition, they showed relatively high selectivities to the more valuable higher hydrocarbons. However, the SL method gave rise to catalysts with larger particles (~3 nm) and a less uniform palladium distribution. This resulted in lower conversion and lower selectivities to higher hydrocarbons and in more severe catalyst deactivation at the highest reaction temperatures.
