[Pt(NH3)4]2+ ions were exchanged for alkali (Li, Na, K and Cs) in -X and -Y zeolites and decomposed in vacuum. TPR after this decomposition showed that autoreduction accompanying this process reduced roughly 2/3 of all Pt2+ to Pt0. The extent of the autoreduction rose with the ammonia pressure over the zeolite. The decomposition rate increased with increasing electropositivity of the alkali ion and this effect completely overlapped that of the zeolite structure. The CO + NO reaction rate also increased from Li to Cs, but -X zeolites were substantially more active than the -Y ones. Oxygen layer on the resulting Pt catalyst affected positively the reaction rate. The dispersion of Pt particles was relatively low, when compared to that obtained by decomposition of the Pt tetraammine complex in oxygen followed by hydrogen reduction. However, the reaction rate was higher.

The catalytic activity of Na, H-Y zeolite samples with a varying Si/Al ratio (2·5 to 20) in the transformation of methanol was determined. The amounts of formed individual aliphatic hydrocarbons as function of reaction time were correlated with the amount of Bronsted and Lewis centres on the catalysts. The effect of coke formation on the over-all course of the reaction has been demonstrated.

AbstractIsocitric acid oxidative decarboxylation was realized in the absence and in the presence of homoionic Na+-, Mn2+-, and Cu2+-montmorillonite. The catalytic activity of the clay depends upon the nature of the interlayer exchangeable cation. Isocitric acid is transformed into α-ketoglutaric acid under the action of the clay mineral saturated with Na+ cations which do not form a complex with the isocitrate anion. Nevertheless, the reaction rate is very much lower than in the presence of the enzymatic system (isocitrate dehydrogenase enzyme and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate coenzyme). The reaction mechanism in the presence of clay is given showing the different steps of the transformation.

Oxygen defects of nanoflower TiO2 photo-catalyst was fabricated at the presence of hydrogen at different temperatures (100–600∘C) and the concentrations of oxygen defects were firstly quantitatively analyzed by hydrogen programmed temperature reduction techniques (H2-TPR). Total oxygen defect concentration and surface oxygen defect concentration were consistent with XPS and EPR results, respectively. Even at the hydrogen thermal temperature of 600∘C, the shape of TiO2 was still kept as nanoflower structure as characterized by SEM. However, the rutile and anatase coexist in the composition of crystal phase when hydrogen reduction temperature of the TiO2 catalyst reached 400∘C to 600∘C as proved by Raman and XRD results. TiO2 sample with oxygen defects shows excellent photo-catalytic activity for degradation of Direct Blue 78(DB) regardless of ultraviolet light (the maximum degradation rate achieved within 100[Formula: see text]min was 93.27%) or visible light (the maximum degradation rate achieved within 100[Formula: see text]min was 88.25%). The photo-catalytic activity seems to be highly correlated with the surface oxygen defects of TiO2 catalyst. With surface oxygen-defect concentrations increase, the degradation ability on DB was significantly enhanced, while bulk oxygen defects had negligible effect on the photo-catalytic activity. The enhanced photo-catalytic performance of TiO2 with a fixed amount of oxygen defects was attributed to the strong capturing capability of the photo-generated electrons. In addition, the surface defects could also improve the photo-catalytic reaction efficiency.

Carbon-based oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts are regarded as a promising candidate to replace the currently used Pt catalyst in polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs); however, the active sites remain under discussion. We predicted that warped graphitic layers (WGLs) are responsible for the ORR catalytic activity in some carbon catalysts (i.e., carbon alloy catalysts (CACs)). To prove our assumption, we needed to use WGLs consisting of carbon materials, but without any extrinsic catalytic elements, such as nitrogen, iron, or cobalt, which effectively enhance ORR activity. The present study employed a fullerene extraction residue as a starting material to construct WGLs. The oxidation of the material at 600 °C exposed the WGLs by removing the surrounding amorphous moieties. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations revealed the formation of WGLs by oxidation treatment at 600 °C in an O2/N2 stream. Extending the oxidation time increased the purity of the WGL phase, but also simultaneously increased the concentration of oxygen-containing surface functional groups as monitored by temperature programmed desorption (TPD). The specific ORR activity increased with oxidation up to 1 h and then decreased with the intensive oxidation treatment. Correlations between the specific ORR activity and other parameters confirmed that the development of the WGL and the increase in the O/C ratio are the competing factors determining specific ORR activity. These results explain the maximum specific ORR activity after 1 h of oxidation time. WGLs were found to lower the heat of adsorption for O2 and to increase the occurrence of heterogeneous electron transfer.

This study is dedicated to the comparative investigation of the catalytic activity of layer-like Faujasite-type (FAU) zeolite X obtained from three different synthesis routes (additive-free route, Li2CO3 route, and TPOAC route) in a liquid-phase Knoevenagel condensation of benzaldehyde and ethyl cyanoacetate to ethyl trans-α-cyanocinnamate. It is shown that the charge-balancing cations (Na+ and K+) and the morphological properties have a strong influence on the apparent reaction rate and degree of conversion. The highest initial reaction rate could be found for the layer-like zeolite X synthesised by the additive-free route in the potassium form. In most cases, the potassium-exchanged zeolites enabled higher maximum conversions and higher reaction rates compared to the zeolite X catalysts in sodium form. However, very thin crystal plates (below 100 nm thickness), similar to those obtained in the presence of TPOAC, did not withstand the multiple aqueous ion exchange procedure, with the remaining coarse crystals facilitating less enhancement of the catalytic activity.

Combination of the “nano-size” effect and Cl− complexation ability causes massive electrodissolution of Pt under acidic conditions to promote the regeneration of Pt–organic composites and to significantly improve the catalytic performance of the O2 reduction reaction.
