New Routes for Refinery of Biogenic Platform Chemicals Catalyzed by Cerium Oxide-supported Ruthenium Nanoparticles in Water.

ABSTRACT: Highly selective hydrogenative carbon-carbon bond scission of biomass-derived platform oxygenates was achieved with a cerium oxide-supported ruthenium nanoparticle catalyst in water. The present catalyst enabled the selective cleavage of carbon-carbon ? bonds adjacent to carboxyl, ester, and hydroxymethyl groups, opening new eight synthetic routes to valuable chemicals from biomass derivatives. The high selectivity for such carbon-carbon bond scission over carbon-oxygen bonds was attributed to the multiple catalytic roles of the Ru nanoparticles assisted by the in situ formed Ce(OH)₃.

Impact of Cerium Oxide on the State and Hydrogenation Activity of Ruthenium Species Incorporated on Mesocellular Foam Silica.

Project description:Herein, the impact of cerium species loaded on mesoporous silica of MCF type on the state and catalytic activity of ruthenium species was studied. Up to 20 wt.% of cerium was incorporated on the silica surface, whereas the same 1 wt.% of Ru loading was applied. The samples prepared were examined by low temperature N2 adsorption/desorption, XRD, XRF, ICP-OES, XPS and H2 chemisorption. The catalytic activity of the materials obtained was investigated in the transformation of levulinic acid to γ-valerolactone. It was documented that the presence of Ce favored an increase in the dispersion of ruthenium species, which had a positive impact on the hydrogenation activity for up to 10 wt.% of Ce. Nevertheless, the highest cerium loading had a negative influence on the textural parameters of the support.

The Improvement of Kaolinite Supported Cerium Oxide for Styrene-Butadiene Rubber Composite: Mechanical, Ageing Properties and Mechanism.

Project description:Kaolinite supported cerium oxide (CeOx/Kaol) was successfully prepared via a deposition method and used to improve the mechanical and aging properties of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) composite. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results showed that cerium oxide has a successfully loading and fine distribution on the edge and surface of kaolinite. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy indicated that cerium oxide may interact with the surface hydroxyls of kaolinite. The CeOx/Kaol material had a uniform dispersion in the resulting SBR composite. The loading of cerium oxide on Kaol increases the scorch time (t10) and curing time (t90) of the filled SBR composites relative to the pure SBR. The mechanical parameters of the filled SBR composites were increased significantly. The tensible strength and tear strength at 40 phr content with 4% CeOx loading reached 12.85 Mpa and 51.16 kN/m, which were increases of 35.9% and 38.3%, respectively, relative to that of the SBR filled with raw Kaol. The anti-ageing characteristic of the resulting composite showed an obvious improvement with the loading of CeOx. Meanwhile, the reinforcement and anti-ageing mechanisms of the CeOx/Kaol were proposed. These results were attributed to the complexation between Ce elements on the surface of Kaol and rubber chains through a double bond. This could improve the incorporation between rubber molecules and filler particles, and restrict rubber chain motion via trapping rubber chains.

Platinum supported on titanium-ruthenium oxide is a remarkably stable electrocatayst for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

Project description:We report a unique and highly stable electrocatalyst-platinum (Pt) supported on titanium-ruthenium oxide (TRO)-for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. The Pt/TRO electrocatalyst was exposed to stringent accelerated test protocols designed to induce degradation and failure mechanisms identical to those seen during extended normal operation of a fuel cell automobile-namely, support corrosion during vehicle startup and shutdown, and platinum dissolution during vehicle acceleration and deceleration. These experiments were performed both ex situ (on supports and catalysts deposited onto a glassy carbon rotating disk electrode) and in situ (in a membrane electrode assembly). The Pt/TRO was compared against a state-of-the-art benchmark catalyst-Pt supported on high surface-area carbon (Pt/HSAC). In ex situ tests, Pt/TRO lost only 18% of its initial oxygen reduction reaction mass activity and 3% of its oxygen reduction reaction-specific activity, whereas the corresponding losses for Pt/HSAC were 52% and 22%. In in situ-accelerated degradation tests performed on membrane electrode assemblies, the loss in cell voltage at 1 A · cm(-2) at 100% RH was a negligible 15 mV for Pt/TRO, whereas the loss was too high to permit operation at 1 A · cm(-2) for Pt/HSAC. We clearly show that electrocatalyst support corrosion induced during fuel cell startup and shutdown is a far more potent failure mode than platinum dissolution during fuel cell operation. Hence, we posit that the need for a highly stable support (such as TRO) is paramount. Finally, we demonstrate that the corrosion of carbon present in the gas diffusion layer of the fuel cell is only of minor concern.

Sol-Gel Synthesis of Ruthenium Oxide Nanowires To Enhance Methanol Oxidation in Supported Platinum Nanoparticle Catalysts.

Project description:A template-directed, sol-gel synthesis is utilized to produce crystalline RuO2 nanowires. Crystalline nanowires with a diameter of 128 ± 15 nm were synthesized after treating the nanowires at 600 °C in air. Analysis of these nanowires by X-ray powder diffraction revealed the major crystalline phase to be tetragonal RuO2 with a small quantity of metallic ruthenium present. Further analysis of the nanowire structures by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy reveals that they are polycrystalline and are composed of interconnected, highly crystalline, nanoparticles having an average size of ∼25 nm. Uniform 3 nm Pt nanoparticles were dispersed on the surface of RuO2 nanowires using an ambient, solution-based technique yielding a hybrid catalyst for methanol oxidation. Linear sweep voltammograms (LSVs) and chronoamperometry performed in the presence of methanol in an acidic electrolyte revealed a significant enhancement in the onset potential, mass activity, and long-term stability compared with analogous Pt nanoparticles supported on commercially available Vulcan XC-72R carbon nanoparticles. Formic acid oxidation LSVs and CO stripping voltammetry revealed that the RuO2-supported Pt nanoparticles exhibit significantly higher CO tolerance, which leads to higher catalytic stability over a period of several hours. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results suggest that crystalline RuO2 leads to less-significant oxidation of the Pt surface relative to more widely studied hydrous RuO2 supports, thereby increasing catalytic performance.

A low-crystalline ruthenium nano-layer supported on praseodymium oxide as an active catalyst for ammonia synthesis.

Project description:Ammonia is a crucial chemical feedstock for fertilizer production and is a potential energy carrier. However, the current method of synthesizing ammonia, the Haber-Bosch process, consumes a great deal of energy. To reduce energy consumption, a process and a substance that can catalyze ammonia synthesis under mild conditions (low temperature and low pressure) are strongly needed. Here we show that Ru/Pr2O3 without any dopant catalyzes ammonia synthesis under mild conditions at 1.8 times the rates reported with other highly active catalysts. Scanning transmission electron micrograph observations and energy dispersive X-ray analyses revealed the formation of low-crystalline nano-layers of ruthenium on the surface of Pr2O3. Furthermore, CO2 temperature-programmed desorption revealed that the catalyst was strongly basic. These unique structural and electronic characteristics are considered to synergistically accelerate the rate-determining step of NH3 synthesis, cleavage of the N[triple bond, length as m-dash]N bond. We expect that the use of this catalyst will be a starting point for achieving efficient ammonia synthesis.

Butane Dry Reforming Catalyzed by Cobalt Oxide Supported on Ti<sub>2</sub> AlC MAX Phase.

Project description:MAX (Mn+1 AXn ) phases are layered carbides or nitrides with a high thermal and mechanical bulk stability. Recently, it was shown that their surface structure can be modified to form a thin non-stoichiometric oxide layer, which can catalyze the oxidative dehydrogenation of butane. Here, the use of a Ti2 AlC MAX phase as a support for cobalt oxide was explored for the dry reforming of butane with CO2 , comparing this new catalyst to more traditional materials. The catalyst was active and selective to synthesis gas. Although the surface structure changed during the reaction, the activity remained stable. Under the same conditions, a titania-supported cobalt oxide catalyst gave low activity and stability due to the agglomeration of cobalt oxide particles. The Co3 O4 /Al2 O3 catalyst was active, but the acidic surface led to a faster deactivation. The less acidic surface of the Ti2 AlC was better at inhibiting coke formation. Thanks to their thermal stability and acid-base properties, MAX phases are promising supports for CO2 conversion reactions.

Antioxidant cerium oxide nanoparticle hydrogels for cellular encapsulation.

Project description:Oxidative stress and the resulting radical by-products cause significant toxicity and graft loss in cellular transplantation. Here, the engineering of an auto-catalytic, antioxidant, self-renewing cerium oxide nanoparticle (CONP)-composite hydrogel is reported. This enzyme-mimetic material ubiquitously scavenges ambient free radicals, with the potential to provide indefinite antioxidant protection. The potential of this system to enhance the protection of encapsulated beta cells was evaluated. Co-incubation of CONPs free in solution with beta cells demonstrated potent cytoprotection from superoxide exposure; however, phagocytosis of the CONPs by the beta cells resulted in cytotoxicity at concentrations as low as 1mM. When CONPs were embedded within alginate hydrogels, the composite hydrogel provided cytoprotection to encapsulated beta cells from free radical attack without cytotoxicity, even up to 10mM. This nanocomposite hydrogel has wide applicability in cellular transplantation, with the unique advantage of localization of these potent antioxidant CONPs and their capacity for sustained, long-term scavenging.

Antibacterial activity of polymer coated cerium oxide nanoparticles.

Project description:Cerium oxide nanoparticles have found numerous applications in the biomedical industry due to their strong antioxidant properties. In the current study, we report the influence of nine different physical and chemical parameters: pH, aeration and, concentrations of MgSO(4), CaCl(2), KCl, natural organic matter, fructose, nanoparticles and Escherichia coli, on the antibacterial activity of dextran coated cerium oxide nanoparticles. A least-squares quadratic regression model was developed to understand the collective influence of the tested parameters on the anti-bacterial activity and subsequently a computer-based, interactive visualization tool was developed. The visualization allows us to elucidate the effect of each of the parameters in combination with other parameters, on the antibacterial activity of nanoparticles. The results indicate that the toxicity of CeO(2) NPs depend on the physical and chemical environment; and in a majority of the possible combinations of the nine parameters, non-lethal to the bacteria. In fact, the cerium oxide nanoparticles can decrease the anti-bacterial activity exerted by magnesium and potassium salts.
