A catalyst with a novel composition for direct ethanol synthesis from syngas was prepared and investigated in this work, which is Rh nanoparticles (NPs) highly dispersed on La2O3 modified LaFeO3, and the Rh NPs/La2O3–LaFeO3 was loaded on SiO2 with high surface area.

The high electrocatalytic activity of the CuNPs–PANI–Nano-ZSM-5 nanocomposite can be attributed to the synergistic contribution provided by the highly dispersed copper nanoparticles and conductive PANI film on high surface area Nano-ZSM-5.

AbstractMechanochemical activation of solid inorganic precursors and sol-gel routes followed by hydrothermal treatment in the presence of surfactants were used to synthesize highly dispersed NZP-type complex zirconium phosphates. Genesis of samples real structure and its impact on the surface properties and catalytic performance in the reactions of hexane isomerization and dehydroaromatization have been studied.

As-synthesized Pd/Mn3O4 catalysts possess relatively high surface area and highly dispersed palladium species and show much higher catalytic activity and stability for CO oxidation especially under wet conditions.

<p>This study evaluated the performance of the commonly used strong buffer electrolytes, i.e. phosphate buffers, during CO<sub>2</sub> electroreduction in neutral pH conditions by using in-situ surface enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (SEIRAS). Unfortunately, the buffers break down a lot faster than anticipated which has serious implications on many studies in the literature such as selectivity and kinetic analysis of the electrocatalysts. Increasing electrolyte concentration, surprisingly, did not extend the potential window of the phosphate buffers due to dramatic increase in hydrogen evolution reaction. Even high concentration phosphate buffers (1 M) break down within the potentials (-1 V vs RHE) where hydrocarbons are formed on copper electrodes. We have extended the discussion to high surface area electrodes by evaluating electrodes composed of copper nanowires. We would like highlight that it is not possible to cope with high local current densities on these high surface area electrodes by using high buffer capacity solutions and the CO<sub>2</sub> electrocatalysts are needed to be evaluated by casting thin nanoparticle films onto inert substrates as commonly employed in fuel cell reactions and up to now scarcely employed in CO<sub>2</sub> electroreduction. In addition, we underscore that normalization of the electrocatalytic activity to the electrochemical active surface area is not the ultimate solution due to concentration gradient along the catalyst layer.This will “underestimate” the activity of high surface electrocatalyst and the degree of underestimation will depend on the thickness, porosity and morphology of the catalyst layer. </p> <p> </p>
