CO₂ Methanation: Nickel-Alumina Catalyst Prepared by Solid-State Combustion.

ABSTRACT: The development of solvent-free methods for the synthesis of catalysts is one of the main tasks of green chemistry. A nickel-alumina catalyst for CO₂ methanation was synthesized by solid-state combustion method using hexakis-(imidazole) nickel (II) nitrate complex. Using X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction (H₂-TPR), it was shown that the synthesized catalyst is characterized by the localization of easily reduced nickel oxide on alumina surface. This provided low-temperature activation of the catalyst in the reaction mixture containing 4 vol% CO₂. In addition, the synthesized catalyst had higher activity in low-temperature CO₂ methanation compared to industrial NIAP-07-01 catalyst, which contained almost three times more hard-to-reduce nickel-aluminum spinel. Thus, the proposed approaches to the synthesis and activation of the catalyst make it possible to simplify the catalyst preparation procedure and to abandon the use of solvents, which must be disposed of later on.

Co-Precipitated Ni-Mg-Al Hydrotalcite-Derived Catalyst Promoted with Vanadium for CO2 Methanation.

Project description:Co-precipitated Ni-Mg-Al hydrotalcite-derived catalyst promoted with vanadium were synthesized with different V loadings (0-4 wt%) and studied in CO2 methanation. The promotion with V significantly changes textural properties (specific surface area and mesoporosity) and improves the dispersion of nickel. Moreover, the vanadium promotion strongly influences the surface basicity by increasing the total number of basic sites. An optimal loading of 2 wt% leads to the highest activity in CO2 methanation, which is directly correlated with specific surface area, as well as the basic properties of the studied catalysts.

Crystalline CO2-based polycarbonates prepared from racemic catalyst through intramolecularly interlocked assembly.

Project description:The crystalline stereocomplexed polycarbonates can be prepared by mixing enantiopure polymers with opposite configuration, which derived from the asymmetric copolymerization with CO2 using enantiopure catalyst or/and chiral epoxides. Herein, we develop a powerful strategy for producing crystalline intramolecular stereocomplexed polycarbonates from racemic catalysts, which possess similar thermal stability and crystalline behaviour in comparison with the stereocomplexes by mixing opposite enantiopure polymers. Living polymer chains shuttle between catalyst molecules with different configurations to produce diastereomeric active species which is suggested to be responsible for the formation of isotactic multiblock polycarbonates in racemic bimetallic cobalt catalyst-mediated stereoselective copolymerization of CO2 and meso-epoxides. Solid-state NMR spectroscopy study suggests that the interaction in the carbonyl and methine regions is responsible for the strong crystallization capacity and compact package structure in the crystalline polycarbonates.

Plasma-assisted CO2 methanation: effects on the low-temperature activity of an Ni-Ce catalyst and reaction performance.

Project description:Ni-Ce three-dimensional material with macropore diameter of 146.6 ± 8.4 nm was synthesized and used as a methanation catalyst. Firstly, H2 reduction of the catalyst was conducted in the thermal fixed bed and plasma reactor, respectively, then X-ray diffraction (XRD) and CO2 temperature programmed desorption experiments on the two reduced samples were carried out to reveal the plasma effect on the catalyst's physico-chemical properties. It was found that plasma reduction created more abundant basic sites for CO2 adsorption, in particular the medium basic sites were even doubled compared with the thermal-reduced catalysts. The plasma-reduced catalyst exhibited excellent low-temperature activity, ca 50-60°C lower than the thermal catalyst (the maximum CO2 conversion point). Based on the optimum reduced catalyst, plasma effect in the reactor level was further investigated under high gas hour space velocity of approximately 50 000 h-1. The plasma reactor showed higher CO2 conversion capacity and efficiency than the thermal reactor.

Thermocatalytic CO2 Conversion over a Nickel-Loaded Ceria Nanostructured Catalyst: A NAP-XPS Study.

Project description:Despite the increasing economic incentives and environmental advantages associated to their substitution, carbon-rich fossil fuels are expected to remain as the dominant worldwide source of energy through at least the next two decades and perhaps later. Therefore, both the control and reduction of CO2 emissions have become environmental issues of major concern and big challenges for the international scientific community. Among the proposed strategies to achieve these goals, conversion of CO2 by its reduction into high added value products, such as methane or syngas, has been widely agreed to be the most attractive from the environmental and economic points of view. In the present work, thermocatalytic reduction of CO2 with H2 was studied over a nanostructured ceria-supported nickel catalyst. Ceria nanocubes were employed as support, while the nickel phase was supported by means a surfactant-free controlled chemical precipitation method. The resulting nanocatalyst was characterized in terms of its physicochemical properties, with special attention paid to both surface basicity and reducibility. The nanocatalyst was studied during CO2 reduction by means of Near Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (NAP-XPS). Two different catalytic behaviors were observed depending on the reaction temperature. At low temperature, with both Ce and Ni in an oxidized state, CH4 formation was observed, whereas at high temperature above 500 °C, the reverse water gas shift reaction became dominant, with CO and H2O being the main products. NAP-XPS was revealed as a powerful tool to study the behavior of this nanostructured catalyst under reaction conditions.

Engineering a solid-state metalloprotein hydrogen evolution catalyst.

Project description:Hydrogen has the potential to play an important role in decarbonising our energy systems. Crucial to achieving this is the ability to produce clean sources of hydrogen using renewable energy sources. Currently platinum is commonly used as a hydrogen evolution catalyst, however, the scarcity and expense of platinum is driving the need to develop non-platinum-based catalysts. Here we report a protein-based hydrogen evolution catalyst based on a recombinant silk protein from honeybees and a metal macrocycle, cobalt protoporphyrin (CoPPIX). We enhanced the hydrogen evolution activity three fold compared to the unmodified silk protein by varying the coordinating ligands to the metal centre. Finally, to demonstrate the use of our biological catalyst, we built a proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis cell using CoPPIX-silk as the hydrogen evolution catalyst that is able to produce hydrogen with a 98% Faradaic efficiency. This represents an exciting advance towards allowing protein-based catalysts to be used in electrolysis cells.

Probing Interactions of γ-Alumina with Water via Multinuclear Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy.

Project description:Interaction of γ-alumina with water are important in controlling its structure and catalytic properties. We apply solid-state multinuclear NMR spectroscopy to investigate this interaction by monitoring 1H and 17O spectra in real-time. Surface-selective detection is made possible by adsorbing 17O-enriched water on γ-alumina nanorods. Structural evolution on the surface was selectively probed by 1H/17O double resonance NMR and 27Al NMR at ultrahigh 35.2 T magnetic field. Formation of hydroxyl species on the surface of nanorods is rapid upon the exposure of water, which involves low coordinated aluminum ions with doubly bridging and isolated hydroxyl species being generated first. Fast exchange occurs between oxygen atoms in the water molecules and bare surface sites, indicating high reactivity of these oxygen species. These results provide new insights into the structure and dynamics on the surface of γ-alumina and the methods applied here can be extended to study the interaction of other oxides with water.

Efficient Solar-Driven CO<sub>2</sub> Methanation and Hydrogen Storage Over Nickel Catalyst Derived from Metal-Organic Frameworks with Rich Oxygen Vacancies.

Project description:Solar-driven photothermal conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) to methane (CH4 ) is a promising approach to remedy energy shortage and climate changes, where highly efficient photothermal catalysts for CO2 methanation urgently need to be designed. Herein, nickel-based catalysts (Ni/ZrO2 ) derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are fabricated and studied for photothermal CO2 methanation. The optimized catalyst 50Ni/ZrO2 achieves a stable CH4 production rate of 583.3 mmol g-1 h-1 in a continuous stability test, which is almost tenfold higher than that of 50Ni/C-ZrO2 synthesized via commercial ZrO2 . Physicochemical properties indicate that 50Ni/ZrO2 generates more tetragonal ZrO2 and possesses more oxygen vacancies (OVs) as well as enhanced nickel-ZrO2 interaction. As a result, 50Ni/ZrO2 exhibits the strong abilities of light absorption and light-to-heat conversion, superior adsorption capacities of reactants (H2 , CO2 ), and an intermediate product (CO), which finally boosts CH4 formation. This work provides an efficient strategy to design a photothermocatalyst of CO2 methanation through utilizing MOFs-derived support.

Deformation-induced localized solid-state amorphization in nanocrystalline nickel.

Project description:Although amorphous structures have been widely obtained in various multi-component metallic alloys, amorphization in pure metals has seldom been observed and remains a long-standing scientific curiosity and technological interest. Here we present experimental evidence of localized solid-state amorphization in bulk nanocrystalline nickel introduced by quasi-static compression at room temperature. High-resolution electron microscope observations illustrate that nano-scale amorphous structures present at the regions where severe deformation occurred, e.g. along crack paths or surrounding nano-voids. These findings have indicated that nanocrystalline structures are highly desirable for promoting solid-state amorphization, which may provide new insights for understanding the nature of the crystalline-to-amorphous transformation and suggested a potential method to produce elemental metallic glasses that have hardly been available hitherto through rapid solidification.
