The optimal Pt-modified CuO supported on γ-Al2O3 and γ-Al2O3 + CeO2 catalysts have been prepared. Physico-chemical characteristics of catalysts were investigated and determined by the methods of N2 adsorption (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), and hydrogen pulse chemisorption (HPC). The characteristics of carbon monoxide (CO) adsorption on catalysts were defined by the method of infrared spectroscopy (IR) in the range of 4000 – 400 cm-1. The effect of the mixture of water vapour and SO2 on the activity of these catalysts for the CO oxidation was assessed. Reactions were conducted at 200oC and 350oC in the absence and presence of the mixture of water vapour (1.1 mol %) and SO2 (0.0625 mol %). Concentrations of O2 and CO in the gas mixture were 9.2 mol % and 0.5 mol %, respectively. The results showed that in the catalysts there exist highly active centers Cu1+ and Pt2+. On the catalysts the adsorption of CO on Cu2+, Pt2+, CeO2, and γ - Al2O3 centres was observed. Addition of CeO2 led to increase the reductivity, CO adsorption but decrease in specific surface area of catalyst. The result PtCu/CeAl catalyst shown higher active, but lower stability compared to PtCu/Al catalyst. The mixture of water vapour and SO2 showed the reversible poisoning toward the Pt-CuO catalysts at a temperature of 350oC, but irreversible at 200oC

A series of Pd catalysts supported on different materials (SiO2, γ-Al2O3, CeO2, TiO2) were synthesized through precipitation reduction of palladium ions with H2. They exhibited different activity during catalytic oxidation of CO to CO2. With the characterization of N2 physisorption experiment, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, temperature-programmed reduction, and CO and O2 multi-pulse experiment, the correlation of catalytic activity and oxygen storage capacity (OSC) of catalyst has been investigated. It was found that the reactivity is largely controlled by the OSC of the catalysts, and thus Pd/CeO2 and Pd/TiO2 were more active than Pd/SiO2 and Pd/Al2O3 for CO oxidation.

Four VPO catalysts were synthesized through intercalation and exfoliation in various alcohols and subsequent reduction of the exfoliated VOPO4sheets with various alcohols to produce VOHPO4⋅0.5H2O. The resulting VOHPO4⋅0.5H2O that undergoes the intercalation-exfoliation-reduction (IER) process will be further activated into VPO catalysts, and addition of 1 mole % Bi(NO3)3⋅5H2O in the first stage of this experiment has also being investigated. The synthesized materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) in H2. Catalytic evaluation of the IER-treated and Bi-doped VPO catalysts was also studied on microreactor. The VPO catalyst produced through IER using 2-butanol and ethanol with addition of Bi, IERC(2Bu-Et)RBi1, gave the highest MA selectivity due to reactive O2−species released from the additional crystalline V5+phase formed by doping 1% bismuth as promoter (O2−-V5+pair) at relative lower temperature. Nevertheless, the VPO catalyst produced through IER using isobutanol, IERC(isoBu), gave the highest activity due to high amount of reactive O−species released from V4+phase (O−-V4+pair) whereby the IERC(isoBu) catalyst synthesized consists of high percentage of V4+(93 %).

LaCoO3 films were deposited onto MgAl2O4 powders by atomic layer deposition (ALD) and then used as catalyst supports for Pt. X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that the 0.5 nm films exhibited a perovskite structure after redox cycling at 1073 K, and scanning transmission electron microscopy and elemental mapping via energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (STEM/EDS) data demonstrated that the films covered the substrate uniformly. Catalysts prepared with 3 wt % Pt showed that the Pt remained well dispersed on the perovskite film, even after repeated oxidations and reductions at 1073 K. Despite the high Pt dispersion, CO adsorption at room temperature was negligible. Compared with conventional Pt on MgAl2O4, the reduced forms of the LaCoO3-containing catalyst were highly active for the CO oxidation and water gas shift (WGS) reactions, while the oxidized catalysts showed much lower activities. Surprisingly, the reduced catalysts were much less active than the oxidized catalysts for toluene hydrogen. Catalysts prepared from thin films of Co3O4 or La2O3 exhibited properties more similar to Pt/MgAl2O4. Possible reasons for how LaCoO3 affects properties are discussed.

Effect of H2O2 on synthesis and powder properties such as surface area and agglomerate size of nanocrystalline Ce0.8M0.2O1.90 (M: Sm, Gd) was explored by treating cerium nitrate and rare-earth nitrate with NaOH in the presence/absence of H2O2. The resultant products were characterized by x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, thermo-gravimetry–differential thermal analysis, dynamic light scattering, surface area analysis, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The presence of H2O2 was found to have a profound effect on powder properties such as surface area and particle size of these doped ceria samples and results in smaller crystallite size, softer agglomerates, and larger surface area. A mechanism is proposed to explain the observed better powder properties of the samples. It was also shown that the samples prepared in the presence of H2O2 can lower the conversion temperature of CO to CO2, proving these to be better catalysts. Interestingly, temperature-programmed reduction studies on Sm3+-doped samples showed that the doping in conjunction with the use of H2O2 leads to enhanced reduction properties of the samples over multiple cycles.

The effect of carbon nanotubes on the catalytic properties of Rh-Mn-Li/SiO2 catalysts was investigated for CO hydrogenation. The catalysts were comprehensively characterized by means of X-ray power diffraction, N2 sorption, transmission electron microscope, H2–temperature-programmed reduction, CO–temperature-programmed desorption, temperature-programmed surface reaction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results showed that an appropriate amount of carbon nanotubes can be attached to the surface of the SiO2 sphere and can improve the Rh dispersion. Moderate Rh-Mn interaction can be obtained by doping with the appropriate amount of carbon nanotubes, which promotes the formation of strongly adsorbed CO and facilitates the progress of CO insertion, resulting in the increase in the selectivity of C2+ oxygenate synthesis.

AbstractWith the purpose of studying the influence of NO/O2 on the NOx storage activity, a Pt-Ba-Ce/γ-Al2O3 catalyst was synthesized by an acid-aided sol-gel method. The physical and chemical properties of the catalyst were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) methods. The results showed that the composition of the catalyst was well-crystallized and the crystalline size of CeO2 (111) was about 5.7 nm. The mechanism of NO and NO2 storage and NOx temperature programmed desorption (NO-TPD) experiments were investigated to evaluate the NOx storage capacity of the catalyst. Pt-Ba-Ce/γ-Al2O3 catalyst presented the supreme NOx storage performance at 350℃, and the maximum value reached to 668.8 μmol / gcat. Compared with O2-free condition, NO oxidation to NO2 by O2 had a beneficial effect on the storage performance of NOx. NO-TPD test results showed that the NOx species stored on the catalyst surface still kept relatively stable even below 350℃.

ZSM-5 zeolites were hydrothermally synthesized in three different seeding pathways under the direction of tetrapropylammonium bromide (TPABr) template. In order to investigate the seeding effect in ZSM-5 crystallization process, ZSM-5 crystals and pre-fabricated MFI-type nanoseeds were added into the original self-induction system, respectively. The final ZSM-5 zeolites were systematically investigated based on XRD (X-ray diffraction), SEM (scanning electron micrograph), TEM (transmission electron micrograph), nitrogen adsorption characterizations and NH3 -TPD (ammonia-temperature programmed desorption). The self-induction system produced ca. 20 μm ZSM-5 zeolite displaying hexagonally uniform prisms. After the addition of ZSM-5 crystal seeds, the crystal sizes were decreased greatly to ca. 5 μm. When MFI-type nanoseeds were adopted, irregular aggregate particles consisting of 20–50 nm primary particles were rapidly synthesized. The varied hydrothermal crystallization kinetics of the three synthesis system was also explored. Adjusting the seed agents alone, ZSM-5 crystals with diverse structural, morphological, textural and hydrothermal behaviors could be fabricated conveniently. The three ZSM-5 zeolites loaded by 0.05 wt.% Pt were assessed for the xylene isomerization reaction to investigate the particle size effect on the catalytic properties.

Ce- and Y-promoted double-layered hydroxides were synthesized and tested in dry reforming of methane (CH4/CO2 = 1/1). The characterization of the catalysts was performed using X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 sorption, temperature-programmed reduction in H2 (TPR-H2), temperature-programmed desorption of CO2 (TPD-CO2), H2 chemisorption, thermogravimetric analysis coupled by mass spectrometry (TGA/MS), Raman, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The promotion with cerium influences textural properties, improves the Ni dispersion, decreases the number of total basic sites, and increases the reduction temperature of nickel species. After promotion with yttrium, the increase in basicity is not directly correlated with the increasing Y loading on the contrary of Ni dispersion. Dry reforming of methane (DRM) was performed as a function of temperature and in isothermal conditions at 700 °C for 5 h. For catalytic tests, a slight increase of the activity is observed for both Y and Ce doped catalysts. This improvement can of course be explained by Ni dispersion, which was found higher for both Y and Ce promoted catalysts. During DRM, the H2/CO ratio was found below unity, which can be explained by side reactions occurrence. These side reactions are linked with the increase of CO2 conversion and led to carbon deposition. By HRTEM, only multi-walled and helical-shaped carbon nanotubes were identified on Y and Ce promoted catalysts. Finally, from Raman spectroscopy, it was found that on Y and Ce promoted catalysts, the formed C is less graphitic as compared to only Ce-based catalyst.

Nanosized V-Ce oxides supported on TiO2 (VCT) were prepared and utilized in the low-temperature selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH3. Compared with the other V-Ce oxides-based catalysts supported on Al2O3, ZrO2, and ZSM-5, VCT showed the best SCR activity in a low-temperature range. The NOx conversion of 90% could be achieved at 220 °C. Characterizations including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning election micrograph (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), temperature-programmed desorption with NH3 (NH3-TPD), and temperature-programmed reduction with H2 (H2-TPR) showed that V1.05Ce1/TiO2 exhibited a good dispersion of V2O5, enrichment of surface Ce3+ and chemical-absorbed oxygen, and excellent redox capacity and acidity, which resulted in the best SCR performance at low temperature.

Perovskite-type LaMnO3 catalysts were prepared by three different methods and tested for CO oxidation. The structural character of the catalysts was investigated by using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). All three different preparation methods resulted in nanostructured particles forming in the LaMnO3 catalysts. The crystallite size was in the range of 20 to 80 nm depending on the synthesis conditions. It was possible to synthesize the smallest particle size and a pure phase of perovskite-type LaMnO3 oxide by using a sol–gel method. The results also indicated that the CO total oxidation activity was related to the size of LaMnO3 particle and the structure formed.
