Molybdenum-nickel materials are catalysts of industrial interest for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). This contribution investigates the potential influence of ordered crystal structures on the catalytic activity. Well-characterized surfaces of the single-phase intermetallic compounds Ni7Mo7, Ni3Mo and Ni4Mo were subjected to accelerated durability tests (ADTs) and thorough characterization to unravel, whether crystallographic ordering affects the activity. Due to their intrinsic instability, molybdenum is leached resulting in higher specific surface areas and nickel-rich surfaces. The gain in surface area scales with the applied potential and the molybdenum content of the pristine samples. The nickel-enriched surfaces are more prone to form Ni(OH)2 layers, which leads to deactivation of the Mo-Ni materials. The crystal structure of the intermetallic compounds has, due to the intrinsic instability of the materials in alkaline media, no effect on the activity. The earlier as durable identified Ni7Mo7 proves to be highly unstable in the applied ADTs. The results indicate that the enhanced activity of unsupported bulk Mo-Ni electrodes can solely be ascribed to increased specific surface areas.

Two kinds of α- Fe 2 O 3 catalysts supported on χ- Al 2 O 3 and γ- Al 2 O 3 were synthesized. α- Fe 2 O 3 was prepared from α- FeOOH . As a model experiment, an investigation was made with the oxidation of methane. As all catalysts with various Fe contents supported on χ- Al 2 O 3 with various Fe contents had higher specific surface areas than those supported on γ- Al 2 O 3, α- Fe 2 O 3/χ- Al 2 O 3 catalyst has higher catalytic activities than α- Fe 2 O 3/γ- Al 2 O 3 catalyst. From SEM-EDS analyses, it is concluded that in α- Fe 2 O 3/χ- Al 2 O 3 catalyst, α- Fe 2 O 3 exists mainly on the surface of the support, because of flatness of the surface of χ- Al 2 O 3. On the other hand, in the case of α- Fe 2 O 3/γ- Al 2 O 3 catalyst, as the surface of support, γ- Al 2 O 3, is uneven, α- Fe 2 O 3 do not partially exist on the surface but in the pores.

Abstract A series of 5% MoV0.3Te0.25 supported on different silicates (i.e. SiO2, HMS, MCM-41, and MCM-48) have been prepared, characterized, and tested as catalysts in the partial oxidation of isobutane to methacrolein. Characterization results showed that the supports almost kept intact structures after supporting 5 wt.% MoV0.3Te0.25 and the supported catalysts had large specific surface areas. Catalytic tests showed that the specific surface area played a key role in the catalytic activity for the supported catalysts.
