Microemulsion Derived Titania Nanospheres: An Improved Pt Supported Catalyst for Glycerol Aqueous Phase Reforming.

ABSTRACT: Glycerol aqueous phase reforming (APR) produces hydrogen and interesting compounds at relatively mild temperatures. Among APR catalysts investigated in literature, little attention has been given to Pt supported on TiO₂. Therefore, herein we propose an innovative titania support which can be obtained through an optimized microemulsion technique. This procedure provided high surface area titania nanospheres, with a peculiar high density of weak acidic sites. The material was tested in the catalytic glycerol APR after Pt deposition. A mechanism hypothesis was drawn, which evidenced the pathways giving the main products. When compared with a commercial TiO₂ support, the synthetized titania provided higher hydrogen selectivity and glycerol conversion thanks to improved catalytic activity and ability to prompt consecutive dehydrogenation reactions. This was correlated to an enhanced cooperation between Pt nanoparticles and the acid sites of the support.

Supported Pt Nanoparticles on Mesoporous Titania for Selective Hydrogenation of Phenylacetylene.

Project description:Semi-hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes is one of the most important industrial reactions. However, it remains technically challenging to obtain high alkene selectivity especially at a high alkyne conversion because of kinetically favorable over hydrogenation. In this contribution, we show that supported ultrasmall Pt nanoparticles (2.5 nm) on mesoporous TiO2 (Pt@mTiO2) remarkably improve catalytic performance toward semi-hydrogenation of phenylacetylene. Pt@mTiO2 is prepared by co-assembly of Pt and Ti precursors with silica colloidal templates via an evaporation-induced self-assembly process, followed by further calcination for thermal decomposition of Pt precursors and crystallization of mTiO2 simultaneously. As-resultant Pt@mTiO2 discloses a high hydrogenation activity of phenylacetylene, which is 2.5 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C. More interestingly, styrene selectivity over Pt@mTiO2 remains 100% in a wide phenylacetylene conversion window (20-75%). The styrene selectivity is >80% even at 100% phenylacetylene conversion while that of the commercial Pt/C is 0%. The remarkable styrene selectivity of the Pt@mTiO2 is derived from the weakened styrene adsorption strength on the atop Pt sites as observed by diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy with CO as a probe molecule (CO-DRIFTS). Our strategy provides a new avenue for promoting alkyne to alkene transformation in the kinetically unfavorable region through novel catalyst preparation.

High Coke-Resistance Pt/Mg1-xNixO Catalyst for Dry Reforming of Methane.

Project description:A highly active and stable nano structured Pt/Mg1-xNixO catalysts was developed by a simple co-precipitation method. The obtained Pt/Mg1-xNixO catalyst exhibited cubic structure nanocatalyst with a size of 50-80 nm and realized CH4 and CO2 conversions as high as 98% at 900°C with excellent stability in the dry reforming of methane. The characterization of catalyst was performed using various kinds of analytical techniques including XRD, BET, XRF, TPR-H2, TGA, TEM, FESEM, FT-IR, and XPS analyses. Characterization of spent catalyst further confirms that Pt/Mg1-xNixO catalyst has high coke-resistance for dry reforming. Thus, the catalyst demonstrated in this study, offers a promising catalyst for resolving the dilemma between dispersion and reducibility of supported metal, as well as activity and stability during high temperature reactions.

Sibunit-Supported Mono- and Bimetallic Catalysts Used in Aqueous-Phase Reforming of Xylitol.

Project description:Carbon-supported mono- and bimetallic catalysts prepared via incipient wetness impregnation were systematically studied in aqueous-phase reforming (APR) of xylitol aiming at hydrogen production from biomass. The catalytic performance of several VIII group metals and their combinations, such as Pt, Ni, Pt-Ni, Re, Pt-Re, Ru, Pt-Ru, and Pt-Co, was compared for xylitol APR in a fixed-bed reactor at 225 °C and 29.7 bar (N2). Ni/C, Ru/C, and Re/C catalysts displayed significantly lower activity compared to others. Activity and selectivity to H2 of bimetallic Pt-Ni/C, Pt-Co/C, and Pt-Ru/C catalysts were close to that of Pt/C. Pt-Re/C catalyst showed an outstanding performance which was accompanied by a shift of the reaction pathways to the alkane formation and thereby lower hydrogen selectivity. Addition of the second metal to Pt was not found to be beneficial for hydrogen production, thus leaving Pt/C as the optimum carbon-supported catalyst.

Effect of Holmium Oxide Loading on Nickel Catalyst Supported on Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia in Methane Dry Reforming.

Project description:The carbon dioxide reforming of methane has attracted attention from researchers owing to its possibility of both mitigating the hazards of reactants and producing useful chemical intermediates. In this framework, the activity of the nickel-based catalysts, supported by yttria-stabilized zirconia and promoted with holmium oxide (Ho2O3), was assessed in carbon dioxide reforming of methane at 800 °C. The catalysts were characterized by N2-physisorption, H2 temperature-programmed reduction, temperature-programmed desorption of CO2, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) together with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques. The effect of holmium oxide weight percent loading (0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3,0, 4.0, and 5.0 wt %) was examined owing to its impact on the developed catalysts. The optimum loading of Ho2O3 was found to be 4.0 wt %, where the methane and carbon dioxide conversions were 85 and 91%, respectively. The nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms specified the mesoporous aspect of the catalysts, while the SEM images displayed a morphology of agglomerated, porous particles. The TEM images of the spent catalyst displayed the formation of multiwalled carbon nanotubes. TGA of the 4.0 wt % of Ho2O3 catalyst, experimented over 7-hour time-on-stream, displayed little weight loss (<14.0 wt %) owing to carbon formation, indicating the good resistance of the catalyst to carbon accumulation due to the enhancing ability of Ho2O3 and its adjustment of the support.

Influence of Boron, Tungsten and Molybdenum Modifiers on Zirconia Based Pt Catalyst for Glycerol Valorization.

Project description:The influence of boron, tungsten and molybdenum modifiers on zirconia-based Pt catalyst was studied for glycerol valorization. Zirconia modified supports were prepared by impregnation of ZrO? with either boric, silicontungstic or phosphomolybdic acids to obtain supports with enhanced Brönsted acidic properties. The modified supports were subsequently impregnated with chloroplatinic acid to obtain Pt-based catalysts. Pt incorporation resulted in the increase in Lewis acidity of the solids, being more significant for the Pt//W/ZrO? catalyst. Reduced Pt catalysts were tested for the liquid-phase glycerol hydrogenolysis, observing a synergistic effect between catalyst acid sites and metal function that proved to be crucial in glycerol hydrogenolysis. The Pt//W/ZrO? catalyst was the most active catalyst in this reaction, being the only leading to 1,3-PDO (45% sel., 160 °C) while Pt//Mo/ZrO? is the best option for 1,2-PDO (49% sel., 180 °C). Reusability studies carried out for Pt//W/ZrO? showed that catalytic activity dropped after the first use, remaining constant for the second and subsequent ones. Selectivity to reaction products also changes during reuses. Therefore, the selectivity to 1,2 PDO increases in the first reuse in detriment to the selectivity to n-propanol whereas the selectivity to 1,3-PDO remains constant along the uses. This behavior could be associated to the lixiviation of W species and/or catalyst fouling during reaction runs.

Influence of the Catalyst Particle Size on the Aqueous Phase Reforming of n-Butanol Over Rh/ZrO2.

Project description:Butanol is a by-product obtained from biomass that can be valorized through aqueous phase reforming. Rh/ZrO2 catalysts were prepared and characterized, varying the size of the support particles. The results showed a relatively mild effect of internal mass transport on butanol conversion. However, the influence of internal transport limitations on the product distribution was much stronger, promoting consecutive reactions, i.e., dehydrogenation, hydrogenolysis, and reforming of propane and ethane. Hydrogen consuming reactions, i.e., hydrogenolysis, were more strongly enhanced than hydrogen producing reactions due to internal concentration gradients. Large support particles deactivated faster, attributed to high concentrations of butyraldehyde inside the catalyst particles, enhancing deposit formation via aldol condensation reactions. Consequently, also the local butyric acid concentration was high, decreasing the local pH, enhancing Rh leaching. The influence of internal transfer limitation on product distribution and stability is discussed based on a reaction scheme with three main stages, i.e., (1) formation of liquid intermediates via dehydrogenation, (2) formation of gas via decarbonylation/decarboxylation reactions, and (3) hydrocarbon hydrogenolysis/reforming/dehydrogenation.

Methanol photo-reforming with water on pure titania for hydrogen production.

Project description:The behaviour of titania for the photo-reforming of methanol with water at ambient temperature has been examined. It is shown that the reactivity is very poor, compared with metal-loaded catalysts at low methanol levels in solution, but the rate becomes much higher at high methanol levels, such that the difference from metal-loaded samples is much less. The optimum yield is with approximately a 1 : 1 methanol/water solution. The reaction also proceeds well in the gas phase. During all such catalysis, the titania becomes blue, due to light absorption increasing across the range 400-800 nm. However, this does not result in visible range activity for the photo-reforming and is due to the reduction of the material in the presence of light and the formation of anion vacancies and Ti3+ centres. These anion vacancies are only very slowly re-oxidized in air on P25 titania, taking days to recover the original whiteness of the oxide. The performance of anatase, rutile and the mixed phase is compared. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue 'Science to enable the circular economy'.

Multicomposite Nanostructured Hematite-Titania Photoanodes with Improved Oxygen Evolution: The Role of the Oxygen Evolution Catalyst.

Project description:We present a sol-gel processed hematite-titania-based photoanode, which exhibits a photocurrent of up to 2.5 mA/cm2 at 1.23 VRHE under simulated AM 1.5 G illumination (100 mW/cm2) thanks to the addition of an amorphous cocatalyst with the nominal composition Fe20Cr40Ni40O x . To unveil the role of the cocatalyst interconnected to the photoanode, we performed impedance measurements. According to the one order of magnitude higher value for the capacitance associated with surface states (C SS) compared to the bare photoanode, the function of the catalyst-photoanode interface resembles that of a p-n-like junction. In addition, the charge transfer resistance associated with charge transfer processes from surface states (R ct,ss) was unchanged at potentials between 0.8 and 1.1 VRHE after adding the cocatalyst, indicating that the catalyst has a negligible effect on the hole transport to the electrolyte. The understanding of the role of oxygen evolution catalysts (OECs) in conjunction with the photoanodes is particularly important for water splitting because most OECs are studied separately at considerably higher potentials compared to the potentials at which photoanode materials are operated.

Magnetic Lignosulfonate-Supported Pd Complex: Renewable Resource-Derived Catalyst for Aqueous Suzuki-Miyaura Reaction.

Project description:A novel strategy is described to prepare magnetic Pd nanocatalyst by conjugating lignin with Fe3O4 nanoparticles via activation of calcium lignosulfonate, followed by combination with Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Tethering 5-amino-1H-tetrazole to calcium lignosulfonate-magnetite hybrid through 3-chloropropyl triethoxysilane enabled coordination of Pd salt with Fe3O4-lignosulfonate@5-amino-1H-tetrazole. The underlying changes of the lignosulfonate are identified, and the structural morphology of attained Fe3O4-lignosulfonate@5-amino-1H-tetrazole-Pd(II) (FLA-Pd) is characterized by Fourier transform infrared, thermogravimetry differential thermal analysis, energy-dispersive spectrometry, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The synthesized FLA-Pd displayed high activity for phosphine-free C(sp2)-C(sp2) coupling in water, and the catalyst could be reused for seven successive cycles.

Properties of Bulk In-Pt Intermetallic Compounds in Methanol Steam Reforming.

Project description:Heterogeneous catalysts are often complex materials containing different compounds. While this can lead to highly beneficial interfaces, it is difficult to identify the role of single components. In methanol steam reforming (MSR), the interplay between intermetallic compounds, supporting oxides and redox reactions leads to highly active and CO2 -selective materials. Herein, the intrinsic catalytic properties of unsupported In3 Pt2 , In2 Pt, and In7 Pt3 as model systems for Pt/In2 O3 -based catalytic materials in MSR are addressed. In2 Pt was identified as the essential compound responsible for the reported excellent CO2 -selectivity of 99.5 % at 300 °C in supported systems, showing a CO2 -selectivity above 99 % even at 400 °C. Additionally, the partial oxidation of In7 Pt3 revealed that too much In2 O3 is detrimental for the catalytic properties. The study highlights the crucial role of intermetallic In-Pt compounds in Pt/In2 O3 materials with excellent CO2 -selectivity.
