The concept of very strong metal–support interactions (VSMSI) was defined in regard to the interactions that influence the catalytic properties of catalysts due to the creation of a new phase as a result of a solid-state chemical reaction between the metal and support. In this context, the high catalytic activity of the 1%Pt/Al2O3 catalyst in the CO oxidation reaction at room temperature was explained. The catalyst samples were reduced at different temperatures ranging from 500 °C to 800 °C and characterized using TPR, O2/H2 titration, CO chemisorption, TPD-CO, FTIR-CO, XRD, and TOF-SIMS methods. Based on the obtained results, it was claimed that with very high temperature reduction (800 °C), nonstoichiometric platinum species [Pt(Cl)Ox] strongly anchored to Al2O3 surface are formed. These species act as the oxygen adsorption sites.

Environmental contextNorfloxacin is widely used as a human and veterinary medicine for its broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. It is chemically stable, rendering it difficult to remove from water using the traditional water and wastewater treatment techniques. We investigate the use of iron oxide catalysts for the degradation of norfloxacin in water prior to its release into the environment. AbstractThe catalytic activity of ordered mesoporous Fe2O3 (om-Fe2O3) on H2O2 oxidation of norfloxacin (NOR) under neutral pH conditions in water was investigated. Using non-ordered-mesoporous Fe2O3 as a reference (nom-Fe2O3), om-Fe2O3 with high specific surface area of 176.4m2g−1 and a uniform pore structure exhibited high catalytic activity in the decomposition of H2O2 as well as the degradation of NOR at neutral pH. Compared with nom-Fe2O3, om-Fe2O3 promoted the decomposition of H2O2 differently. The adsorption capacity of om-Fe2O3 for NOR was much higher than that of nom-Fe2O3. The adsorption efficiency of NOR on om-Fe2O3 accounted for 60.2–64.9% of the degradation efficiency in om-Fe2O3/H2O2. tert-Butanol (TBA), which is resistant to adsorption by om-Fe2O3, had no effect on the degradation of NOR by om-Fe2O3/H2O2. However, the presence of tromethamine (TMA), which was favourable to adsorption by om-Fe2O3, inhibited the degradation of NOR significantly. Based on the different effects of TBA and TMA on the degradation of NOR, it is proposed that the catalytic degradation of NOR may occur on the surface of om-Fe2O3. Hydroxyl radicals (·OH) generated may be bound on the surface of om-Fe2O3 without diffusing into aqueous solution. It is proposed that the adsorption of target organic pollutants must be considered when assessing the suitability of the om-Fe2O3/H2O2 process. The mechanism of om-Fe2O3 in promoting H2O2 decomposition into OH was also investigated.

AbstractHerein, we report a methodology that leads to the formation of Ru metallic sites, followed by the development and anchorage of Pt-Ru alloyed nanoparticles on the surface of Ordered Mesoporous Hollow Carbon Spheres (OMHCS). Along with the Ru sites, it is demonstrated that the functionalization promotes the formation of functional groups on the surface of the OMHCS. In a first stage, OMHCS are functionalized with the [(η6-C6H5OCH2CH2OH)RuCl2]2 (Ru-dim) and [(η6-C6H4CH(CH3)2CH3)RuCl2]2 (Ru-cym) organometallic compounds. Afterwards, Pt nanoparticles are dispersed by the microwave-assisted polyol method over the functionalized supports obtaining the low-metal content 5 wt. % Pt/OMHCSRu-dim and Pt/OMHCSRu-cym nanocatalysts. The degree of Ru alloyed is found to be around 35%. The low-Pt content Pt/OMHCSRu-cym and Pt/OMHCSRu-dim exhibit a higher catalytic activity for the Oxygen (OER) and the Hydrogen (HER) Evolution Reactions than the Pt/C benchmark and the Pt/OMHCS nanocatalysts. The overpotential for the OER at 10 mA cm-2 (ηOER) is 300 mV and 210 mV smaller at Pt/OMHCSRu-cym and Pt/OMHCSRu-dim compared to Pt/C, respectively. The corresponding values of the HER at -10 mA cm-2 (ηHER) are 14 and 18 mV smaller, respectively. The high catalytic activity of Pt/OMHCSRu-cym and Pt/OMHCSRu-dim has been attributed in part to the presence of Ru0 and RuO2 species from organometallic functionalization, and the modification of the d-valence band of Pt. Their high performance for the OER and the HER opens new lines of research for the design of nanocatalysts for alkaline electrochemical water splitting.

ABSTRACTThiol-passivated gold nanoparticles were adsorbed on several kinds of support materials such as titania-coated silica aerogels and xerogels etc., and then the thiol was removed by heat treatment. The catalytic activity of the prepared composites for CO oxidation reaction was measured, and the effects of the support on the catalytic activity were investigated. Density of the supports, namely, whether aerogel supports or xerogel ones, hardly affected the catalytic activity. It was found that the catalysts having high catalytic activity could be obtained by this preparation method, even using the xerogels as the support. Calcination of the supports before adsorption of the gold nanoparticles affected the activity. The difference of the catalytic activity was observed between the composites with same gold nanoparticle size, so it was considered that the surface condition of the support materials affects the state of gold nanoparticles in composite.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) ordinarily coexist in many industries, being considered as harmful waste gases. Simultaneously converting CO2 and H2S into syngas (a mixture of CO and H2) will be a promising economic strategy for enhancing their recycling value. Herein, a novel one-step conversion of CO2 and H2S to syngas induced by non-thermal plasma with the aid of Ni-Mo sulfide/Al2O3 catalyst under ambient conditions was designed. The as-synthesized catalysts were characterized by using XRD, nitrogen sorption, UV-vis, TEM, SEM, ICP, and XPS techniques. Ni-Mo sulfide/Al2O3 catalysts with various Ni/Mo molar ratios possessed significantly improved catalytic performances, compared to the single-component catalysts. Based on the modifications of the physical and chemical properties of the Ni-Mo sulfide/Al2O3 catalysts, the variations in catalytic activity are carefully discussed. In particular, among all the catalysts, the 5Ni-3Mo/Al2O3 catalyst exhibited the best catalytic behavior with high CO2 and H2S conversion at reasonably low-energy input in non-thermal plasma. This method provides an alternative route for syngas production with added environmental and economic benefits.

Highly ordered mesoporous tungsten trioxide ( WO 3) with high surface area (75 m2/g) and well-defined mesopores were successfully prepared through a hard templating method using a mesoporous silica KIT-6 as a template and ( NH 4)6 H 2 W 12 O 40 ⋅ x H 2 O as a tungsten precursor. Oxidative desulfurization of a model oil with H 2 O 2 as the oxidant was carried out at 50°C under atmospheric pressure in order to analyze the catalytic activity. The desulfurization reactions were optimized by various kinds of reaction parameters such as H 2 O 2/ S molar ratio, reaction temperatures and series of sulfur-containing compounds [dibenzothiophene (DBT), benzothiophene (BT) and 4,6-dimethyl dibenzothiophene (4,6-DMBT)]. Excellent catalytic activity for the removal of the sulfur-containing compounds from the model oil was observed with mesoporous WO 3 catalyst, where the activity was maintained during 5 recycle tests without any regeneration process. The high catalytic activity and durability is mainly attributed to well-defined mesopores and high surface area of mesoporous WO 3 catalyst.
