Non-Thermal Plasma Activation of Gold-Based Catalysts for Low-Temperature Water-Gas Shift Catalysis.

ABSTRACT: Non-thermal plasma activation has been used to enable low-temperature water-gas shift over a Au/CeZrO₄ catalyst. The activity obtained was comparable with that attained by heating the catalyst to 180?°C providing an opportunity for the hydrogen production to be obtained under conditions where the thermodynamic limitations are minimal. Using in?situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), structural changes associated with the gold nanoparticles in the catalyst have been observed which are not found under thermal activation indicating a weakening of the Au-CO bond and a change in the mechanism of deactivation.

Unveiling the Mechanism of Plasma-Catalytic Low-Temperature Water-Gas Shift Reaction over Cu/γ-Al2O3 Catalysts.

Project description:The water-gas shift (WGS) reaction is a crucial process for hydrogen production. Unfortunately, achieving high reaction rates and yields for the WGS reaction at low temperatures remains a challenge due to kinetic limitations. Here, nonthermal plasma coupled to Cu/γ-Al2O3 catalysts was employed to enable the WGS reaction at considerably lower temperatures (up to 140 °C). For comparison, thermal-catalytic WGS reactions using the same catalysts were conducted at 140-300 °C. The best performance (72.1% CO conversion and 67.4% H2 yield) was achieved using an 8 wt % Cu/γ-Al2O3 catalyst in plasma catalysis at ∼140 °C, with 8.74 MJ mol-1 energy consumption and 8.5% H2 fuel production efficiency. Notably, conventional thermal catalysis proved to be ineffective at such low temperatures. Density functional theory calculations, coupled with in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy, revealed that the plasma-generated OH radicals significantly enhanced the WGS reaction by influencing both the redox and carboxyl reaction pathways.

The most active Cu facet for low-temperature water gas shift reaction.

Project description:Identification of the active site is important in developing rational design strategies for solid catalysts but is seriously blocked by their structural complexity. Here, we use uniform Cu nanocrystals synthesized by a morphology-preserved reduction of corresponding uniform Cu2O nanocrystals in order to identify the most active Cu facet for low-temperature water gas shift (WGS) reaction. Cu cubes enclosed with {100} facets are very active in catalyzing the WGS reaction up to 548?K while Cu octahedra enclosed with {111} facets are inactive. The Cu-Cu suboxide (CuxO, x???10) interface of Cu(100) surface is the active site on which all elementary surface reactions within the catalytic cycle proceed smoothly. However, the formate intermediate was found stable at the Cu-CuxO interface of Cu(111) surface with consequent accumulation and poisoning of the surface at low temperatures. Thereafter, Cu cubes-supported ZnO catalysts are successfully developed with extremely high activity in low-temperature WGS reaction.Nanocrystals display a variety of facets with different catalytic activity. Here the authors identify the most active facet of copper nanocrystals relevant to the low-temperature water gas shift reaction and further design zinc oxide-copper nanocubes with exceptionally high catalytic activity.

Copper-catalysed low-temperature water-gas shift reaction for selective deuteration of aryl halides.

Project description:The introduction of deuterium atoms into organic compounds is of importance for basic chemistry, material sciences, and the development of drugs in the pharmaceutical industry, specifically for identification and quantification of metabolites. Hence, methodologies for the synthesis of selectively labelled compounds continue to be a major area of interest for many scientists. Herein, we present a practical and stable heterogeneous copper catalyst, which permits for dehalogenative deuteration via water-gas shift reaction at comparably low temperature. This novel approach allows deuteration of diverse (hetero)aryl halides with good functional group tolerance, and no reduction of the aromatic rings or other easily reducible formyl and cyano groups. Multi-gram experiments show the potential of this method in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry.

Room-temperature electrochemical water-gas shift reaction for high purity hydrogen production.

Project description:Traditional water-gas shift reaction provides one primary route for industrial production of clean-energy hydrogen. However, this process operates at high temperatures and pressures, and requires additional separation of H2 from products containing CO2, CH4 and residual CO. Herein, we report a room-temperature electrochemical water-gas shift process for direct production of high purity hydrogen (over 99.99%) with a faradaic efficiency of approximately 100%. Through rational design of anode structure to facilitate CO diffusion and PtCu catalyst to optimize CO adsorption, the anodic onset potential is lowered to almost 0 volts versus the reversible hydrogen electrode at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The optimized PtCu catalyst achieves a current density of 70.0?mA?cm-2 at 0.6 volts which is over 12 times that of commercial Pt/C (40 wt.%) catalyst, and remains stable for even more than 475?h. This study opens a new and promising route of producing high purity hydrogen.

Highly Effective Pt-Based Water-Gas Shift Catalysts by Surface Modification with Alkali Hydroxide Salts.

Project description:Herein, we describe an economical and convenient method to improve the performance of Pt/alumina catalysts for the water-gas shift reaction through surface modification of the catalysts with alkali hydroxides according to the solid catalyst with ionic liquid layer approach. The results are in agreement with our findings reported earlier for methanol steam reforming. This report indicates that alkali doping of the catalyst plays an important role in the observed catalyst activation. In addition, the basic and hygroscopic nature of the salt coating contributes to a significant improvement in the performance of the catalyst. During the reaction, a partly liquid film of alkali hydroxide forms on the alumina surface, which increases the availability of H2O at the catalytically active sites. Kinetic studies reveal a negligible effect of the KOH coating on the rate dependence of CO and H2O partial pressures. TEM studies indicate an agglomeration of the active Pt clusters during catalyst preparation; restructuring of Pt nanoparticles occurs under reaction conditions, which leads to a highly active and stable system over 240?h time on stream. Excessive pore fillings with KOH introduce a mass transfer barrier as indicated in a volcano-shaped curve of activity versus salt loading. The optimum KOH loading was found to be 7.5?wt?%.

The active sites of Cu-ZnO catalysts for water gas shift and CO hydrogenation reactions.

Project description:Cu-ZnO-Al2O3 catalysts are used as the industrial catalysts for water gas shift (WGS) and CO hydrogenation to methanol reactions. Herein, via a comprehensive experimental and theoretical calculation study of a series of ZnO/Cu nanocrystals inverse catalysts with well-defined Cu structures, we report that the ZnO-Cu catalysts undergo Cu structure-dependent and reaction-sensitive in situ restructuring during WGS and CO hydrogenation reactions under typical reaction conditions, forming the active sites of CuCu(100)-hydroxylated ZnO ensemble and CuCu(611)Zn alloy, respectively. These results provide insights into the active sites of Cu-ZnO catalysts for the WGS and CO hydrogenation reactions and reveal the Cu structural effects, and offer the feasible guideline for optimizing the structures of Cu-ZnO-Al2O3 catalysts.

CO2 Hydrogenation at Atmospheric Pressure and Low Temperature Using Plasma-Enhanced Catalysis over Supported Cobalt Oxide Catalysts.

Project description:CO2 is a promising renewable, cheap, and abundant C1 feedstock for producing valuable chemicals, such as CO and methanol. In conventional reactors, because of thermodynamic constraints, converting CO2 to methanol requires high temperature and pressure, typically 250 °C and 20 bar. Nonthermal plasma is a better option, as it can convert CO2 at near-ambient temperature and pressure. Adding a catalyst to such plasma setups can enhance conversion and selectivity. However, we know little about the effects of catalysts in such systems. Here, we study CO2 hydrogenation in a dielectric barrier discharge plasma-catalysis setup under ambient conditions using MgO, γ-Al2O3, and a series of Co x O y /MgO catalysts. While all three catalyst types enhanced CO2 conversion, Co x O y /MgO gave the best results, converting up to 35% of CO2 and reaching the highest methanol yield (10%). Control experiments showed that the basic MgO support is more active than the acidic γ-Al2O3, and that MgO-supported cobalt oxide catalysts improve the selectivity toward methanol. The methanol yield can be tuned by changing the metal loading. Overall, our study shows the utility of plasma catalysis for CO2 conversion under mild conditions, with the potential to reduce the energy footprint of CO2-recycling processes.

Dynamic structure of active sites in ceria-supported Pt catalysts for the water gas shift reaction.

Project description:Oxide-supported noble metal catalysts have been extensively studied for decades for the water gas shift (WGS) reaction, a catalytic transformation central to a host of large volume processes that variously utilize or produce hydrogen. There remains considerable uncertainty as to how the specific features of the active metal-support interfacial bonding-perhaps most importantly the temporal dynamic changes occurring therein-serve to enable high activity and selectivity. Here we report the dynamic characteristics of a Pt/CeO2 system at the atomic level for the WGS reaction and specifically reveal the synergistic effects of metal-support bonding at the perimeter region. We find that the perimeter Pt0 - O vacancy-Ce3+ sites are formed in the active structure, transformed at working temperatures and their appearance regulates the adsorbate behaviors. We find that the dynamic nature of this site is a key mechanistic step for the WGS reaction.

Addition of Sodium Additives for Improved Performance of Water-Gas Shift Reaction over Ni-Based Catalysts.

Project description:The effect of Na loading on water-gas shift reaction (WGSR) activity of Ni@TiO x -XNa (X = 0, 0.5, 1, 2, and 5 wt %) catalysts has been investigated. Herein, we report sodium-modified Ni@TiO x catalysts (denoted as Ni@TiO x -XNa) derived from Ni3Ti1-layered double hydroxide (Ni3Ti1-LDH) precursor. The optimized Ni@TiO x -1Na catalyst exhibits enhanced catalytic performance toward WGSR at relatively low temperature and reaches an equilibrium CO conversion at 300 °C, which is much superior to those for most of the reported Ni-based catalysts. The H2-temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR) result demonstrates that the Ni@TiO x -1Na catalyst has a stronger metal-support interaction (MSI) than the sodium-free Ni@TiO x catalyst. The presence of stronger MSI significantly facilitates the electron transfer from TiO x support to the interfacial Ni atoms to modulate the electronic structure of Ni atoms (a sharp increase in Niδ- species), inducing the generation of more surface sites (Ov-Ti3+) accompanied by more interfacial sites (Niδ--Ov-Ti3+), revealed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The Niδ--Ov-Ti3+ interfacial sites serve as dual-active sites for WGSR. The increase in the dual-active sites accounts for improvement in the catalytic performance of WGSR. With the tunable Ni-TiO x interaction, a feasible strategy in creating active sites by adding low-cost sodium addictive has been developed.

Physiological and transcriptional response of Bacillus cereus treated with low-temperature nitrogen gas plasma

Project description:Aims: To investigate the inactivation kinetics of Bacillus cereus vegetative cells upon exposure to low-temperature nitrogen gas plasma and to reveal the mode of inactivation by transcriptome profiling. Methods and results: Exponentially growing B. cereus cells were filtered and put on agar plates. The plates, carrying the filters with the vegetative cells, were placed into nitrogen gas plasma at atmospheric pressure and cold temperature (~37°C). After different exposure times the cells were harvested for RNA extraction and enumeration. The RNA was used to perform whole transcriptome profiling using DNA microarrays. The transcriptome profile showed a large overlap with profiles obtained from conditions generating reactive oxygen species inside B. cereus. However, excess radicals such as peroxynitrite, hydroxyl and or superoxide were not found. Conclusions: Antibacterial activity of nitrogen gas plasmas is not based on UV radiation but on the formation of reactive oxygen or nitrogen species in the plasma jet rather than inside the targeted cells. Significance and impact of the study: This study represents the ﬁrst investigation of differential gene expression on a genome-wide scale in B. cereus following nitrogen gas plasma exposure. This study may help to design cheap, safe, and effective plasma decontamination devices.
