High surface area (>170 m2 g−1) molybdenum nitride was prepared by the temperature-programmed nitridation of α-MoO3 with pure ammonia. The process was optimized by adjusting the experimental variables: the reaction temperature, heating rate, and molar flow rate of ammonia. The physicochemical properties of the as-formed molybdenum nitride were characterized by X-ray diffraction, N2 sorption, transmission electron microscopy, temperature-programmed oxidation/reduction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Of the experimental variables, the nitridation temperature was found to be the most critical parameter determining the surface area of the molybdenum nitride. When the prepared molybdenum nitride was exposed to air, the specific surface area rapidly decreased because of the partial oxidation of molybdenum nitride to molybdenum oxynitride. However, the surface area recovered to 90% the initial value after H2 treatment. The catalyst with the highest degree of nitridation showed the best catalytic activity, superior to that of unmodified α-MoO3, for the decomposition of ammonia because of its high surface area.

AbstractMo2N powder, macrocrystals and nanoparticles and porous Mo metal were synthesized using temperature programmed reduction of MoO3 powder and crystals with reactant feed gases consisting of NH3 N2/H2 mixtures and pure H2. The Mo-based catalysts were characterized using BET, XRD, TGA, SEM, and STM. The Mo-based catalysts were also analyzed for the hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of thiophene. The relatively lower surface area Mo2N macrocrystalline catalysts (SSA = 44 m2/g) have a greater area specific activity than that of the higher surface area Mo2N powder catalysts (SSA = 150 m2/g) for the HDS of thiophene. Mo metal catalysts have significantly lower activity for thiophene HDS than Mo 2N catalysts and the HDS selectivities of non-sulfided Mo metal catalysts are significantly different from those of Mo 2N catalysts.

Hydrogen production has been investigated through the photoreforming of glucose, as model molecule representative for biomass hydrolysis. Different copper- or nickel-loaded titania photocatalysts have been compared. The samples were prepared starting from three titania samples, prepared by precipitation and characterized by pure Anatase with high surface area, or prepared through flame synthesis, i.e., flame pyrolysis and the commercial P25, leading to mixed Rutile and Anatase phases with lower surface area. The metal was added in different loading up to 1 wt % following three procedures that induced different dispersion and reducibility to the catalyst. The highest activity among the bare semiconductors was exhibited by the commercial P25 titania, while the addition of 1 wt % CuO through precipitation with complexes led to the best hydrogen productivity, i.e., 9.7 mol H2/h kgcat. Finally, a basic economic analysis considering only the costs of the catalyst and testing was performed, suggesting CuO promoted samples as promising and almost feasible for this application.
