Low-temperature combustion of methane over graphene templated Co₃O₄ defective-nanoplates.

ABSTRACT: Transition metal oxides are the potential catalysts to replace noble-metal based catalyst for the catalytic combustion of methane due to the tolerable reactivity and low cost. However, these catalysts are challenged by the low temperature reactivity. Herein, the surface defective Co₃O₄ nanoplates are realized through a facile co-precipitation and thermal reduction method with the association of GO. The resultant catalysts (CoGO50) demonstrate a superior low-temperature reactivity for the methane oxidation to CO₂ and H₂O in comparison with the common Co₃O₄ catalyst. The reliable stability of CoGO50 catalyst was proved by 80 h testing with intermittent feeding of water vapor. The experimental analysis demonstrates that the presence of a small amount of GO significantly affects the catalysts in surface valence state, active oxygen species and surface oxygen vacancies through reacting with the cobalt oxide as a reductant. Moreover, GO plays as 2D confine template to form smaller and thinner nanoplates. This work provides a facile method to control the surface properties of catalyst not only for Co₃O₄ based catalysts but also for wider solid catalysts.

Combustion of lean methane over Co3O4 catalysts prepared with different cobalt precursors.

Project description:To investigate the effect of catalyst precursors on physicochemical properties and activity of lean methane catalytic combustion, a series of Co3O4 catalysts were prepared via a precipitation method by using four different cobalt precursors: Co(C2H3O2)2, Co(NO3)2, CoCl2, and CoSO4. The catalysts were characterized by BET, XRD, SEM, Raman, XPS, XRF, O2-TPD and H2-TPR techniques. It was found that the different types of cobalt precursor had remarkable effects on the surface area, particle size, reducibility and catalytic performance. In contrast, the Co3O4-Ac catalyst showed a relatively small surface area, but its activity and stability were the highest. XPS, Raman, O2-TPD and H2-TPR results demonstrated that the superior catalytic performance of Co3O4-Ac was associated with its higher Co2+ concentration, more surface active oxygen species and better reducibility. In addition, the activity of the Co3O4-S catalyst reduced significantly due to the residual impurity SO4 2-, which could reduce the concentration of surface adsorbed active oxygen species and inhibit oxygen migration.

Pyroelectric nanoplates for reduction of CO2 to methanol driven by temperature-variation.

Project description:Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a problematic greenhouse gas, although its conversion to alternative fuels represents a promising approach to limit its long-term effects. Here, pyroelectric nanostructured materials are shown to utilize temperature-variations and to reduce CO2 for methanol. Layered perovskite bismuth tungstate nanoplates harvest heat energy from temperature-variation, driving pyroelectric catalytic CO2 reduction for methanol at temperatures between 15 °C and 70 °C. The methanol yield can be as high as 55.0 μmol⋅g-1 after experiencing 20 cycles of temperature-variation. This efficient, cost-effective, and environmental-friendly pyroelectric catalytic CO2 reduction route provides an avenue towards utilizing natural diurnal temperature-variation for future methanol economy.

CO oxidation and organic dyes degradation over graphene-Cu and graphene-CuNi catalysts obtained by solution combustion synthesis.

Project description:Graphene and its analogs in combination with metal nanopowders are among the most promising catalysts for various industry valuable processes. The newly obtained solution combustion synthesized graphene-Cu and graphene-CuNi nanocomposites were examined in heterogeneous catalysis of thermal activated CO oxidation and photoactivated degradation of acid telon blue and direct blue dyes. The nanocomposites are characterized by a closely connected solution combustion synthesized graphene-metal structure with a number of graphene layers from 1 to 3 and fine metal grains sizes of 31 nm (Cu) and 14 nm (CuNi). The experimental data showed the obtained graphene-metal nanocomposites are among the most effective catalysts for CO oxidation with a temperature of 100% conversion of 150 °C and 200 °C for Cu and CuNi containing catalysts, respectively. At the same time, both nanopowders were found inactive for dyes degradation.

Metal-organic framework templated Pd/CeO2@N-doped carbon for low-temperature CO oxidation.

Project description:A new Pd/Ce based metal-organic framework is designed and synthesized as a self-sacrificial template for fabrication of an efficient catalyst for CO oxidation. The catalyst obtained by thermal annealing at 700 °C (Pd/CeO2@NC-700) is composed of N-doped carbon with embedded Pd and CeO2 nanoparticles, which are highly dispersed and closely connected in the N-doped carbon; the high Pd loading (33.7 wt%) and the coupling between Pd and the CeO2 phase synergistically boost the CO oxidation performance. The Pd/CeO2@NC-700 catalyst exhibits a 100% conversion temperature of 89 °C and excellent long-term stability. By combining structural characterization with density functional theory calculations, two possible CO oxidation pathways of TPB and TOP are revealed, in which the adsorbed O2 directly dissociates to O* atoms and activates CO* molecules. The transfer of O* between Pd and Ce (TPB) or Pd and Pd (TOP) facilitates the formation of intermediates and finally results in the production of CO2. This work provides a new insight into the development of novel efficient catalysts for CO oxidation based on metal-organic frameworks.

Mid-temperature CO2 Adsorption over Different Alkaline Sorbents Dispersed over Mesoporous Al2O3.

Project description:CO2 adsorbents comprising various alkaline sorption active phases supported on mesoporous Al2O3 were prepared. The materials were tested regarding their CO2 adsorption behavior in the mid-temperature range, i.e., around 300 °C, as well as characterized via XRD, N2 physisorption, CO2-TPD and TEM. It was found that the Na2O sorption active phase supported on Al2O3 (originated following NaNO3 impregnation) led to the highest CO2 adsorption capacity due to the presence of CO2-philic interfacial Al-O--Na+ sites, and the optimum active phase load was shown to be 12 wt % (0.22 Na/Al molar ratio). Additional adsorbents were prepared by dispersing Na2O over different metal oxide supports (ZrO2, TiO2, CeO2 and SiO2), showing an inferior performance than that of Na2O/Al2O3. The kinetics and thermodynamics of CO2 adsorption were also investigated at various temperatures, showing that CO2 adsorption over the best-performing Na2O/Al2O3 material is exothermic and follows the Avrami model, while tests under varying CO2 partial pressures revealed that the Langmuir isotherm best fits the adsorption data. Lastly, Na2O/Al2O3 was tested under multiple CO2 adsorption-desorption cycles at 300 and 500 °C, respectively. The material was found to maintain its CO2 adsorption capacity with no detrimental effects on its nanostructure, porosity and surface basic sites, thereby rendering it suitable as a reversible CO2 chemisorbent or as a support for the preparation of dual-function materials.

CO2 hydrogenation over Fe-Co bimetallic catalysts with tunable selectivity through a graphene fencing approach.

Project description:Tuning CO2 hydrogenation product distribution to obtain high-selectivity target products is of great significance. However, due to the imprecise regulation of chain propagation and hydrogenation reactions, the oriented synthesis of a single product is challenging. Herein, we report an approach to controlling multiple sites with graphene fence engineering that enables direct conversion of CO2/H2 mixtures into different types of hydrocarbons. Fe-Co active sites on the graphene fence surface present 50.1% light olefin selectivity, while the spatial Fe-Co nanoparticles separated by graphene fences achieve liquefied petroleum gas of 43.6%. With the assistance of graphene fences, iron carbides and metallic cobalt can efficiently regulate C-C coupling and olefin secondary hydrogenation reactions to achieve product-selective switching between light olefins and liquefied petroleum gas. Furthermore, it also creates a precedent for CO2 direct hydrogenation to liquefied petroleum gas via a Fischer-Tropsch pathway with the highest space-time yields compared to other reported composite catalysts.

Combined Steam and CO2 Reforming of Methane over the Hierarchical Ni-ZrO2 Nanosheets/Al2O3 Catalysts at Ultralow Temperature and under Low Steam.

Project description:This research developed hierarchical 10 wt % Ni-1 wt % ZrO2/Al2O3 catalysts for combined steam and CO2 reforming of methane (CSCRM) reaction to produce syngas for gas-to-liquid (GTL) application under the ultralow temperature and low steam condition. The hierarchical nanosheet catalysts were prepared via a novel impregnation technique assisted by ammonia vapor diffusion with various times (1, 6, and 12 h) to develop the different magnitude of hierarchical nanosheets on the surface. Then, CSCRM at 600 °C was performed on the catalysts for 6 h. The results evidenced the improvement of H2 selectivity, reaching an appropriate H2/CO ratio (1.9-2.0) in FT subunits in the GTL process when nanosheets existed on the surface due to the increase in H2O adsorption-dissociation sites. The good dispersion of hierarchical nanosheets accompanied by the ZrO2 promoter successfully enhanced the CH4 conversion and the coke prevention through the spread nanosheets because of the increase in the number of active sites and the surface interaction. The interaction of hierarchical nanosheets created the H2O activation-dissociation sites that allowed CO2 to be selective on the oxygen vacancy sites, producing more OH* and OH* on the catalyst surface to resist the carbon deposition during CSCRM operation.

Low temperature methanation of CO2 over an amorphous cobalt-based catalyst.

Project description:CO2 methanation is an important reaction in CO2 valorization. Because of the high kinetic barriers, the reaction usually needs to proceed at higher temperature (>300 °C). High-efficiency CO2 methanation at low temperature (<200 °C) is an interesting topic, and only several noble metal catalysts were reported to achieve this goal. Currently, design of cheap metal catalysts that can effectively accelerate this reaction at low temperature is still a challenge. In this work, we found that the amorphous Co-Zr0.1-B-O catalyst could catalyze the reaction at above 140 °C. The activity of the catalyst at 180 °C reached 10.7 mmolCO2 gcat -1 h-1, which is comparable to or even higher than that of some noble metal catalysts under similar conditions. The Zr promoter in this work had the highest promoting factor to date among the catalysts for CO2 methanation. As far as we know, this is the first report of an amorphous transition metal catalyst that could effectively accelerate CO2 methanation. The outstanding performance of the catalyst could be ascribed to two aspects. The amorphous nature of the catalyst offered abundant surface defects and intrinsic active sites. On the other hand, the Zr promoter could enlarge the surface area of the catalyst, enrich the Co atoms on the catalyst surface, and tune the valence state of the atoms at the catalyst surface. The reaction mechanism was proposed based on the control experiments.

Rod-Like Nanoporous CeO2 Modified by PdO Nanoparticles for CO Oxidation and Methane Combustion with High Catalytic Activity and Water Resistance.

Project description:A PdO/CeO2 composite with a rod-like nanoporous skeletal structure was prepared by combining the dealloying of Al-Ce-Pd alloy ribbons with calcination. For CO oxidation and CH4 combustion, the nanoporous PdO/CeO2 composite exhibits excellent catalytic activity, and the complete reaction temperatures of CO and CH4 are 80 °C and 380 °C, respectively. In addition, the composite possesses excellent cycle stability, CO2 toxicity, and water resistance, and the catalytic activity hardly decreases after 100 h of long-term stability testing in the presence of water vapour (2 × 105 ppm). The results of a series of characterizations indicate that the enhanced catalytic activity can be attributed to the good dispersion of the PdO nanoparticles, large specific surface area, strong redox capacity, interaction between PdO and CeO2, and more surface active oxygen on PdO. The results of the characterization and experiments also indicate that the PdO nanoparticles, prepared by combining dealloying and calcination, have a stronger catalytic activity than do Pd nanoparticles. Finally, a simple model is used to summarize the catalytic mechanism of the PdO/CeO2 composite. It is hoped that this work will provide insights into the development of high-activity catalysts.

Very Low Temperature CO Oxidation over Atomically Precise Au25 Nanoclusters on MnO2.

Project description:Atomically precise Au25 nanoclusters have garnered significant interest in the field of heterogeneous catalysis due to their remarkable activity and selectivity. However, for the extensively studied reaction of low-temperature CO oxidation, their performance has not been competitive compared to other known gold nanocatalysts. To address this, we deposited Au25(SR)18 (R = CH2CH2Ph) nanoclusters onto a manganese oxide support (Au25/MnO2), resulting in a very stable and highly active catalyst. By optimizing the pretreatment temperature, we were able to significantly enhance the performance of the Au25/MnO2 catalyst, which outperformed most other gold catalysts. Impressively, 100% conversion of CO was achieved at temperatures as low as -50 °C, with 50% conversion being reached below -70 °C. Furthermore, the existence of ligands could also influence the negative apparent activation energy observed at intermediate temperatures. Analysis using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques indicated that the Au25 nanoclusters remained stable on the catalyst surface even after pretreatment at high temperatures. In-situ modulation excitation spectroscopy (MES) spectra also confirmed that the Au cluster was the active site for CO oxidation, highlighting the potential of atomically precise Au25 nanoclusters as primary active sites at very low temperatures.
