Synthesis of MnO₂-CuO-Fe₂O₃/CNTs catalysts: low-temperature SCR activity and formation mechanism.

ABSTRACT: MnO₂-CuO-Fe₂O₃/CNTs catalysts, as a low-dimensional material, were fabricated by a mild redox strategy and used in denitration reactions. A formation mechanism of the catalysts was proposed. NO conversions of 4% MnO₂-CuO-Fe₂O₃/CNTs catalyst of 43.1-87.9% at 80-180 °C were achieved, which was ascribed to the generation of amorphous MnO₂, CuO and Fe₂O₃, and a high surface-oxygen (O_s) content.

Sulfur resistance of Ce-Mn/TiO2 catalysts for low-temperature NH3-SCR.

Project description:Ce-Mn/TiO2 catalyst prepared using a simple impregnation method demonstrated a better low-temperature selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3 (NH3-SCR) activity in comparison with the sol-gel method. The Ce-Mn/TiO2 catalyst loading with 20% Ce had the best low-temperature activity and achieved a NO conversion rate higher than 90% at 140-260°C with a 99.7% NO conversion rate at 180°C. The Ce-Mn/TiO2 catalyst only had a 6% NO conversion rate decrease after 100 ppm of SO2 was added to the stream. When SO2 was removed from the stream, the catalyst was able to recover completely. The crystal structure, morphology, textural properties and valence state of the metals involving the novel catalysts were investigated using X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption and desorption analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy, respectively. The decrease of NH3-SCR performance in the presence of 100 ppm SO2 was due to the decrease of the surface area, change of the pore structure, the decrease of Ce4+ and Mn4+ concentration and the formation of the sulfur phase chemicals which blocked the active sites and changed the valence status of the elements.

Mesoporous Silica Supported Pd-MnOx Catalysts with Excellent Catalytic Activity in Room-Temperature Formic Acid Decomposition.

Project description:For the application of formic acid as a liquid organic hydrogen carrier, development of efficient catalysts for dehydrogenation of formic acid is a challenging topic, and most studies have so far focused on the composition of metals and supports, the size effect of metal nanoparticles, and surface chemistry of supports. Another influential factor is highly desired to overcome the current limitation of heterogeneous catalysis for formic acid decomposition. Here, we first investigated the effect of support pore structure on formic acid decomposition performance at room temperature by using mesoporous silica materials with different pore structures such as KIE-6, MCM-41, and SBA-15, and achieved the excellent catalytic activity (TOF: 593?h-1) by only controlling the pore structure of mesoporous silica supports. In addition, we demonstrated that 3D interconnected pore structure of mesoporous silica supports is more favorable to the mass transfer than 2D cylindrical mesopore structure, and the better mass transfer provides higher catalytic activity in formic acid decomposition. If the pore morphology of catalytic supports such as 3D wormhole or 2D cylinder is identical, large pore size combined with high pore volume is a crucial factor to achieve high catalytic performance.

TiO2-SiO2 supported MnWO x catalysts by liquid-phase deposition for low-temperature NH3-SCR.

Project description:NH3-SCR is an environmentally important reaction for the abatement of NO x from different resources. MnO2-based catalyst has attracted significant attention due to the excellent activity. In this paper, a series of MnWO x /TiO2-SiO2 catalysts were prepared by liquid-phase deposition method. The catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption/desorption, XRD, TEM, XPS, FT-IR, H2-TPR, TG and water adsorption capacity. The existence of SiO2 improved the SO2 and H2O resistance of the MnWO x /TiO2-SiO2 catalyst without decreasing the NH3-SCR activity. Under the reaction conditions of 260°C and 60 000 ml gcata h-1 gas hourly space velocity (GHSV), the NO conversion was kept stable at about 95% for 140 min on stream. The excellent performance of MnWO x /TiO2-SiO2 catalyst is considered to be originated from the texture properties and active species dispersion improvement by SiO2 in the support and low-temperature preparation.

MnO2/rGO/CNTs Framework as a Sulfur Host for High-Performance Li-S Batteries.

Project description:Lithium-sulfur batteries are very promising next-generation energy storage batteries due to their high theoretical specific capacity. However, the shuttle effect of lithium-sulfur batteries is one of the important bottlenecks that limits its rapid development. Herein, physical and chemical dual adsorption of lithium polysulfides are achieved by designing a novel framework structure consisting of MnO2, reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The framework-structure composite of MnO2/rGO/CNTs is prepared by a simple hydrothermal method. The framework exhibits a uniform and abundant mesoporous structure (concentrating in ~12 nm). MnO2 is an α phase structure and the α-MnO2 also has a significant effect on the adsorption of lithium polysulfides. The rGO and CNTs provide a good physical adsorption interaction and good electronic conductivity for the dissolved polysulfides. As a result, the MnO2/rGO/CNTs/S cathode delivered a high initial capacity of 1201 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C. The average capacities were 916 mAh g-1, 736 mAh g-1, and 547 mAh g-1 at the current densities of 0.5 C, 1 C, and 2 C, respectively. In addition, when tested at 0.5 C, the MnO2/rGO/CNTs/S exhibited a high initial capacity of 1010 mAh g-1 and achieved 780 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles, with a low capacity decay rate of 0.11% per cycle. This framework-structure composite provides a simple way to improve the electrochemical performance of Li-S batteries.

Polymeric vanadyl species determine the low-temperature activity of V-based catalysts for the SCR of NO x with NH3.

Project description:The structure of dispersed vanadyl species plays a crucial role in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH3 over vanadia-based catalysts. Here, we demonstrate that the polymeric vanadyl species have a markedly higher NH3-SCR activity than the monomeric vanadyl species. The coupling effect of the polymeric structure not only shortens the reaction pathway for the regeneration of redox sites but also substantially reduces the overall reaction barrier of the catalytic cycle. Therefore, it is the polymeric vanadyl species, rather than the monomeric vanadyl species, that determine the NH3-SCR activity of vanadia-based catalysts, especially under low-temperature conditions. The polymeric vanadia-based SCR mechanism reported here advances the understanding of the working principle of vanadia-based catalysts and paves the way toward the development of low vanadium-loading SCR catalysts with excellent low-temperature activity.

Synthesis of CrO x /C catalysts for low temperature NH3-SCR with enhanced regeneration ability in the presence of SO2.

Project description:Chromium oxide nano-particles with an average diameter of 3 nm covered by amorphous carbon (CrO x /C) were successfully synthesized. The synthesized CrO x /C materials were used for the selective catalytic reduction of NO x by NH3 (NH3-SCR), which shows superb NH3-SCR activity and in particular, satisfactory regeneration ability in the presence of SO2 compared with Mn-based catalysts. The as-prepared catalysts were characterized by XRD, HRTEM, Raman, FTIR, BET, TPD, TPR, XPS and in situ FTIR techniques. The results indicated presence of certain amounts of unstable lattice oxygen exposed on the surface of CrO x nano-particles with an average size of 3 nm in the CrO x /C samples, which led to NO being conveniently oxidized to NO2. The formed NO2 participated in NH3-SCR activity, reacting with catalysts via a "fast NH3-SCR" pathway, which enhanced th NH3-SCR performance of the CrO x /C catalysts. Furthermore, the stable lattice of the CrO x species made the catalyst immune to the sulfation process, which was inferred to be the cause of its superior regeneration ability in the presence of SO2. This study provides a simple way to synthesize stable CrO x nano-particles with active oxygen, and sheds light on designing NH3-SCR catalysts with highly efficient low temperature activity, SO2 tolerance, and regeneration ability.

A New Free-Standing Aqueous Zinc-Ion Capacitor Based on MnO2-CNTs Cathode and MXene Anode.

Project description:Restricted by their energy storage mechanism, current energy storage devices have certain drawbacks, such as low power density for batteries and low energy density for supercapacitors. Fortunately, the nearest ion capacitors, such as lithium-ion and sodium-ion capacitors containing battery-type and capacitor-type electrodes, may allow achieving both high energy and power densities. For the inspiration, a new zinc-ion capacitor (ZIC) has been designed and realized by assembling the free-standing manganese dioxide-carbon nanotubes (MnO2-CNTs) battery-type cathode and MXene (Ti3C2Tx) capacitor-type anode in an aqueous electrolyte. The ZIC can avoid the insecurity issues that frequently occurred in lithium-ion and sodium-ion capacitors in organic electrolytes. As expected, the ZIC in an aqueous liquid electrolyte exhibits excellent electrochemical performance (based on the total weight of cathode and anode), such as a high specific capacitance of 115.1 F g-1 (1 mV s-1), high energy density of 98.6 Wh kg-1 (77.5 W kg-1), high power density of 2480.6 W kg-1 (29.7 Wh kg-1), and high capacitance retention of ~ 83.6% of its initial capacitance (15,000 cycles). Even in an aqueous gel electrolyte, the ZIC also exhibits excellent performance. This work provides an essential strategy for designing next-generation high-performance energy storage devices.

Improved Pd/CeO2 Catalysts for Low-Temperature NO Reduction: Activation of CeO2 Lattice Oxygen by Fe Doping.

Project description:Developing better three-way catalysts with improved low-temperature performance is essential for cold start emission control. Density functional theory in combination with microkinetics simulations is used to predict reactivity of CO/NO/H2 mixtures on a small Pd cluster on CeO2(111). At low temperatures, N2O formation occurs via a N2O2 dimer over metallic Pd3. Part of the N2O intermediate product re-oxidizes Pd, limiting NO conversion and requiring rich conditions to obtain high N2 selectivity. High N2 selectivity at elevated temperatures is due to N2O decomposition on oxygen vacancies. Doping CeO2 by Fe is predicted to lead to more oxygen vacancies and a higher N2 selectivity, which is validated by the lower onset of N2 formation for a Pd catalyst supported on Fe-doped CeO2 prepared by flame spray pyrolysis. Activating ceria surface oxygen by transition metal doping is a promising strategy to improve the performance of three-way catalysts.

Activity Self-Optimization Steered by Dynamically Evolved Fe3+@Fe2+ Double-Center on Fe2O3 Catalyst for NH3-SCR.

Project description:Identification of the active centers dynamically stable under the reaction condition is of paramount importance but challenging because of the limited knowledge of steady-state chemistry on catalysts at the atomic level. Herein, focusing on the Fe2O3 catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3 (NH3-SCR) as a model system, we reveal quantitatively the self-evolving Fe3+@Fe2+ (∼1:1) double-centers under the in-situ condition by the first-principles microkinetic simulations, which enables the accurate prediction of the optimal industry operating temperature (590 K). The cooperation of this double-center achieves the self-optimization of catalytic activity and rationalizes the intrinsic origin of Fe2O3 catalyzing NH3-SCR at middle-high temperatures instead of high temperatures. Our findings demonstrate the atomic-level self-evolution of active sites and the dynamically adjusted activity variation of the catalyst under the in-situ condition during the reaction process and provide insights into the reaction mechanism and catalyst optimization.

Mechanism of Mixed-Valence Fe2.5+···Fe2.5+ Formation in Fe4S4 Clusters in the Ferredoxin Binding Motif.

Project description:Most low-potential Fe4S4 clusters exist in the conserved binding sequence CxxCxxC (CnCn+3Cn+6). Fe(II) and Fe(III) at the first (Cn) and third (Cn+6) cysteine ligand sites form a mixed-valence Fe2.5+···Fe2.5+ pair in the reduced Fe(II)3Fe(III) cluster. Here, we investigate the mechanism of how the conserved protein environment induces mixed-valence pair formation in the Fe4S4 clusters, FX, FA, and FB in photosystem I, using a quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical approach. Exchange coupling between Fe sites is predominantly determined by the shape of the Fe4S4 cluster, which is stabilized by the preorganized protein electrostatic environment. The backbone NH and CO groups in the conserved CxxCxxC and adjacent helix regions orient along the FeCn···FeC(n+6) axis, generating an electric field and stabilizing the FeCn(II)FeC(n+6)(III) state in FA and FB. The overlap of the d orbitals via -S- (superexchange) is observed for the single FeCn(II)···FeC(n+6)(III) pair, leading to the formation of the mixed-valence Fe2.5+···Fe2.5+ pair. In contrast, several superexchange Fe(II)···Fe(III) pairs are observed in FX due to the highly symmetric pair of the CDGPGRGGTC sequences. This is likely the origin of FX serving as an electron acceptor in the two electron transfer branches.
