Project description:Room temperature catalytic oxidation by noble metals is considered to be the most promising strategy for the removal of HCHO, which is one of the major indoor air pollutants. Hierarchically macro-mesoporous structured Pt/?-Al2O3 hollow spheres with open and accessible pores were synthesized and used for catalytic oxidative decomposition of HCHO at room temperature. The prepared composite hollow spheres showed higher catalytic activity than the conventional nanoparticle supports, which is mainly due to their hierarchical macro-mesoporous structure facilitating diffusion of reactants and products, and the high dispersion of accessible catalytic Pt nanoparticles. This work may contribute to the development of hierarchically structured materials and high-performance catalysts for indoor air purification and related catalytic processes.

Project description:This study presents a TiO2/C hybrid material with biomimetic channels fabricated using a wood template. Repeated impregnations of pretreated wood chips in a Ti precursor were conducted, followed by calcination at 400-600 °C for 4 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere. The generated TiO2 nanocrystals were homogenously distributed inside a porous carbon framework. With an extremely low Pt catalyst loading (0.04-0.1 wt%), the obtained porous catalyst could effectively oxidize formaldehyde to CO2 and H2O even under room temperature (conv. ∼100%). Wood acted as both a structural template and reduction agent for Pt catalyst generation in sintering. Therefore, no post H2 reduction treatment for catalyst activation was required. The hierarchal channel structures, including 2-10 nm mesopores and 20 μm diameter channels, could be controlled by calcination temperature and atmosphere, which was confirmed by SEM and BET characterizations. Based on the abundant availability of wood templates and reduced cost for low Pt loading, this preparation method shows great potential for large-scale applications.

Project description:Supported Pt catalyst has been intensively investigated for formaldehyde elimination owing to its superior reactivity at room temperature (RT). However, the high Pt content is challenging because of its high cost. Herein, we report PbO-supported Pt catalysts with only 0.1 wt % Pt, which can achieve complete conversion of formaldehyde and reliable stability at RT under demanding conditions. Both experiments and simulations demonstrate that PbO interacts strongly with the Pt species, resulting in tight Pb-O-Pt bonding at the metal/support interface and concomitant activation of the surface lattice oxygen of the support. Moreover, PbO exhibits an extremely high capacity of formaldehyde capture through methylene glycol chemisorption rather than the common hydroxyl-associated adsorption, presenting a different reaction mechanism because the active surface lattice oxygen in the vicinity of Pt species offers improved reactivity. This work provides a valuable example for the design of an efficient catalyst for formaldehyde and potentially oxidation of other carbohydrates.

Project description:Supported nano-catalysts with environmental sustainability and high catalytic performance are of great research interest for sustainable catalysis. In this article, a supported nano-catalyst, FeA-NC, with high catalytic performance was prepared by anchoring the transition metal iron onto nitrogen-doped porous carbon materials using chitosan as a raw material. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) measurement results demonstrated that the obtained catalyst has an excellent mesoporous structure, and that the element Fe is evenly distributed. The support contains abundant N atoms, which can provide sufficient anchoring points for Fe and form Fe-Nx groups with Fe, improving the catalytic activity of the catalyst. Additionally, the FeA-NC with a porous structure can also enhance the mass transfer of reactants to improve the reaction efficiency. In addition, the prepared catalyst was used to catalyze the conversion of primary amines to the corresponding imines. The results showed that the direct oxidation of primary amines to the corresponding imines can be catalyzed by using air as an oxygen source and distilled H2O as a solvent under atmospheric pressure at 90 °C. Finally, the selectivity and stability of the as-prepared catalyst were also verified.

Project description:We fabricated one fibrous-membrane type of flexible and lightweight supported catalyst via loading platinum-nickel nanoparticles (PtNi NPs) directly on the polydopamine-coated polymethylmethacrylate electrospun-fibers (PMMA@PDA). The polymer support with the PDA layer provided numerous active sites, leading to well-monodispersed and sized PtNi NPs on the nanofibers. Through the rational design of PtNi NPs, the resultant catalyst system exhibited 90% conversion for decomposing HCHO (10 ppm) at room temperature with only a low dosage (0.02 g), retaining the high activity for 100 hours. This superior catalytic performance stems from the formate oxidation, which was the key intermediate during HCHO decomposition, and was promoted by the existence of a sufficient Pt-OH-Ni interface in the PtNi NPs with an appropriate Pt/Ni ratio of 1:5. Such tailored Pt-based nanoparticles ideally work together with the polymer nanofibers as a support for catalytic reaction. Compared with classical catalysts, our system can handle a comparable efficiency with much lower air resistance and remarkably lower dosage. Furthermore, the membrane-like morphology provides easy handling and minimizes the leaching of catalyst nanoparticles.

Project description:Oxides (such as SiO₂, TiO₂, ZrO₂, Al₂O₃, Fe₂O₃, CeO₂) have often been used to prepare supported Pt catalysts for CO oxidation and other reactions, whereas metal phosphate-supported Pt catalysts for CO oxidation were rarely reported. Metal phosphates are a family of metal salts with high thermal stability and acid-base properties. Hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO₄)₆(OH)₂, denoted as Ca-P-O here) also has rich hydroxyls. Here we report a series of metal phosphate-supported Pt (Pt/M-P-O, M = Mg, Al, Ca, Fe, Co, Zn, La) catalysts for CO oxidation. Pt/Ca-P-O shows the highest activity. Relevant characterization was conducted using N₂ adsorption-desorption, inductively coupled plasma (ICP) atomic emission spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), CO₂ temperature-programmed desorption (CO₂-TPD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and H₂ temperature-programmed reduction (H₂-TPR). This work furnishes a new catalyst system for CO oxidation and other possible reactions.

Project description:Composition and morphology are crucial factors in the design of Pt-based catalysts with high performance, particularly in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). Herein, PtRu mesoporous nanospheres (PtRu MNs) with tunable compositions were synthesized via a facile method and then deposited on a carbon support to act as electrocatalyst materials for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). Superior catalytic activity, better catalytic stability, and good tolerance to CO were achieved by the optimum PtRu (2 : 1) MNs/C catalyst compared with Pt MNs/C. The mass activity on PtRu (2 : 1) MNs/C reached 111.77 mA mgPt -1, which was approximately 6.45-fold higher than that of Pt MNs/C (17.33 mA mgPt -1). Meanwhile, PtRu (2 : 1) MNs/C retained much more current density (84.7%) than Pt MNs/C (17.7%) after 500 cycles. The improved catalytic performance is due to several factors, including the formation of a mesoporous nanostructure with abundant active sites and the favorable effects of the Ru species. This work provides guidance toward designing and fabricating effective Pt-based electrocatalysts for DMFC applications.

Project description:Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of microalgae Nannochloropsis (NAS) over various transition metal M/TiO2 (M?=?Fe, Co, Ni, Mo, and Mn) was investigated. Ni/TiO2 was the most effective catalyst to improve the yield and quality of biocrude and the liquefaction conversion. Ni/TiO2 was characterized by XRD, XRF, and XPS. The research of Effect of reaction temperature on HTL of NAS over Ni/TiO2 suggested that 300?°C led to a maximum biocrude yield of 48.23% and the highest liquefaction conversion of 89.28%. Adding Ni/TiO2 catalyst reduced the viscosity and provided more light-fraction in biocrude while brought a slight increase in total acid number (TAN). Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis demonstrated that adding Ni/TiO2 considerably changed the composition of biocrude and the possible pathways were discussed. Reproduction test showed the Ni/TiO2 has an excellent reproduction ability in HTL of NAS.

Project description:The influence of the semiconductor microstructure on the photocatalytic behavior of Pt-PtOx/TiO2 catalysts was studied by comparing the methanol-reforming performance of systems based on commercial P25 or TiO2 from sol-gel synthesis calcined at different temperatures. The Pt co-catalyst was deposited by incipient wetness and formed either by calcination or high-temperature H2 treatment. Structural features of the photocatalysts were established by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), electron spin resonance (ESR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), optical absorption, Raman spectroscopy and TEM measurements. In situ reduction of Pt during the photocatalytic reaction was generally observed. The P25-based samples showed the best H2 production, while the activity of all sol-gel-based samples was similar in spite of the varying microstructures resulting from the different preparation conditions. Accordingly, the sol-gel-based TiO2 has a fundamental structural feature interfering with its photocatalytic performance, which could not be improved by annealing in the 400-500 °C range even by scarifying specific surface area at higher temperatures.
