The sample with the Ce doping concentration of Ce/Mn=l/3 and calcined at 300 ℃ shows a superior activity for NO oxidation to NO2. On Ce（1）Mn（3）Ti catalyst, 58% NO conversion was obtained at 200 ℃ and 85% NO conversion at 250 ℃ with a GHSV of 41000 h-1, which was much higher than that over MnOx/TiO2 catalyst （48% at 250 ℃）. Characterization results implied that the higher activity of Ce（1）Mn（3）Ti could be attributed to the enrichment of well-dispersed MnO2 on the surface and the abundance of Mn3＋ and Zi3＋ species. The addition of Ce into MnO2/TiO2 could improve oxygen storage capacity and facilitate oxygen mobility of the catalyst as shown by PL and ESR, so that its activity for NO oxidation could be enhanced. The effect of H2O and SO2 on the catalyst activity was also investigated.展开更多

Results showed that the manganese carbonate （MC） precursor caused mainly Mn2O3, while the manganese nitrate （MN） precursor resulted primarily in MnO2 and the manganese sulfate （MS） precursor was unchanged. The manganese acetate （MA） precursor leaded obtaining a mixture of Mn2O3 and Mn304. NOn conversion decreased in the following order： MA/TiO2 〉 MC/TiO2 〉 MN/TiO2 〉 MS/TiO2 〉 P25, with a calcination temperature of 773 K in air. Catalysts that were prepared by MA and calcined in oxygen performed strong interaction between Ti and Mn, while MnTiO3 was observed. Compared to the catalysts calcined in nitrogen, those calcined in oxygen had larger diameter and smaller surface area and pore. Catalysts that were prepared by MA and calcined in nitrogen tended to gain higher denitration rates than those in air, since they could be prepared with significant specific surface areas. NO., conversion decreased with calcination atmospheres： Nitrogen〉 Air〉 Oxygen. Meanwhile, amorphous Mn2O3 turned into crystalline Mn2O3, when the temperatures increased from 673 to 873 K.展开更多

Five different methods, namely, mechanical mixing, impregnation,hydrothermal treatment, co‐precipitation, and a sol‐gel technique, were used to synthesizeMnOx‐CeO2 catalysts. The catalysts were characterized in detail, and an NH3‐SCR model reaction waschosen to evaluate the catalytic performance. The results showed that the preparation methodsaffected the catalytic performance in the order: hydrothermal treatment > sol‐gel > co‐precipitation> impregnation > mechanical mixing. This order correlated with the surface Ce3+ and Mn4+ content,oxygen vacancies and surface adsorbed oxygen species concentration, and the amount of acidic sitesand acidic strength. This trend is related to redox interactions between MnOx and CeO2. The catalystformed by a hydrothermal treatment exhibited excellent physicochemical properties, optimal catalyticperformance, and good H2O resistance in NH3‐SCR reaction. This was attributed to incorporationof Mnn+ into the CeO2 lattice to form a uniform ceria‐based solid solution (containing Mn‐O‐Cestructures). Strengthening of the electronic interactions between MnOx and CeO2, driven by thehigh‐temperature and high‐pressure conditions during the hydrothermal treatment also improved the catalyst characteristics. Thus, the hydrothermal treatment method is an efficient and environment‐friendly route to synthesizing low‐temperature denitrification (deNOx) catalysts.展开更多

The catalysts were characterized by inductively coupled plasma (ICP), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR). Results show that the titania structure has favorable influence on physio-chemical and catalytic properties of Ni/TiO2 catalysts. Compared to commercial Raney nickel, the catalytic activity of Ni/TiO2 catalyst is much superior, irrespective of the titania structure. The catalytic activity of anatase titania supported nickel catalyst Ni/TiO2(A) is higher than that of rutile titania supported nickel catalyst Ni/TiO2(R), possibly because the reduction of nickel oxide to metallic nickel for Ni/TiO2(A) is easier than that for Ni/TiO2(R) at similar reaction conditions.展开更多

The experimental results showed that the selective catalytic reduction（SCR） performance and SO2-resistant ability of TiO2-SiO2-WO3 were greatly enhanced by the introduction of cerium. The catalyst containing 10% CeO2 showed the highest NO conversion in a wide temperature range and good N2 selectivity with broad operation temperature window at the gas hourly space velocity（GHSV） of 30000 h–1, which was a very promising catalyst for NOx abatement from diesel engine exhaust. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction（XRD）, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy（SEM-EDS）, N2 adsorption-desorption（BET） and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy（XPS）. The characterization results showed that the bigger pore radius, higher surface atomic concentration and dispersion of Ce and the abundant adsorbed oxygen on the surface of catalyst contributed to the best NH3-SCR performance of CeO2/TiO2-SiO2-WO3 catalyst containing 10% CeO2.展开更多

The results showed that the NO conversion of V2O5-WO3/CeO2-TiO2 catalysts modified by co-precipitation method obviously increased with the Ce doping contents in the studied range below 20%（All Ce contents are in mass fractions）, but the NO conversion of V2O5-WO3/CeO2/TiO2 catalysts modified by impregnation methods was lower than V2O5-WO3/CeO2-TiO2 catalysts especially beyond 2.5% Ce doping contents. The V2O5-WO3/CeO2-TiO2 catalysts showed better SCR activity, wider reaction window, and higher sulfur and water resistance. The characterization results elucidated that the modified catalysts by co-precipitation method exhibited higher specific surface area, much better dispersity of Ce component, more Ce^（3＋）species and more Br？nsted acid sites than that by impregnation. The vacancies caused by more Ce^（3＋）species were favorable for more NO oxidation to NO2, and the interaction between Ce species and WOxspecies generated more Br？nsted acid sites. It could be supposed that dispersed Ce Oxspecies and WOxspecies offered more second active centers respectively to adsorb oxygen and activate ammonia as co-catalysis to the primary active center of V ions, thus facilitated the better SCR activity of modified V2O5-WO3/CeO2-TiO2 catalysts by coprecipitation methods. The co-precipitation methods with Ce component were more suitable for production of modified commercial V2O5-WO3/TiO2 catalysts.展开更多

The samples were characterized by means of TG-DTA, XRD, H2-TPR and XPS. The catalytic activity of the CuO/TiO2-SnO2 catalysts was markedly depended on the loading of CuO, and the optimum CuO loading was 8 wt.% （Tloo = 80 ℃）. The CuO/TiO2-SnO2 catalysts exhibited much higher catalytic activity than the CuO/TiO2 and CuO/SnO2 catalysts. H2-TPR result indicated that a large amount of CuO formed the active site for CO oxidation in 8 wt.% CuO/TiO2-SnO2 catalyst.展开更多

They have both photocatalytic activity and Brφnsted acidity, and thus are active in the photoreduction of Cr（VI） under solar light irradiation without the addition of acids. The activity is superior to that of Degussa P25 in the acidified suspension at the same pH adjusted by H2SO4.展开更多

The catalytic performance of Ru/TiO_2–Al_2O_3catalyst in CO_2 methanation reaction was investigated. Compared with Ru/Al_2O_3 catalyst, the Ru/TiO_2–Al_2O_3catalytic system exhibited a much higher activity in CO_2 methanation reaction. The reaction rate over Ru/TiO_2–Al_2O_3 was 0.59 mol CO_2·(g Ru)1·h-1, 3.1 times higher than that on Ru/Al_2O_3[0.19 mol CO_2·(gRu)-1·h-1]. The effect of TiO_2 content and TiO_2–Al_2O_3calcination temperature on catalytic performance was addressed. The corresponding structures of each catalyst were characterized by means of H_2-TPR, XRD, and TEM. Results indicated that the averaged particle size of the Ru on TiO_2–Al_2O_3support is 2.8 nm, smaller than that on Al_2O_3 support of 4.3 nm. Therefore, we conclude that the improved activity over Ru/TiO_2–Al_2O_3catalyst is originated from the smaller particle size of ruthenium resulting from a strong interaction between Ru and the rutile-TiO_2 support, which hindered the aggregation of Ru nanoparticles.展开更多

Co and Mo active components were supported on a series of the as-prepared TiO2-NTs samples which were calcined at different temperatures. The effects of support calcination temperature of CoMo/TiOz- NTs catalysts on their catalytic performance were investigated for selective hydrodesulfurization （HDS）. The samples were characterized by means of the scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, the transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, N2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, Raman spectroscopy and H2 temperature-programmed reduction （Hz-TPR）. The experimental results revealed that TiOz-NTs support calcined under 500℃ can maintain the nanotubular structure with higher surface area and pore volume. Meanwhile, the obtained supported CoMo/TiO2-NTs catalysts exhibited weak metal-support interaction, more octahedral Mo6＋ species and high catalytic performance in selective HDS.展开更多

Compared to the traditional V2O5/TiO2 and V2O5-MoO3/TiO2 catalysts, the V2O5/TiO2-PILC catalyst exhibited a higher activity and better SO2 and H2O resistance in the NH3-SCR reaction. Characterization using TPD, in situ DRIFT and XPS showed that surface sulfate and/or sulfite species and ionic SO4^（2-）species were formed on the catalyst in the presence of SO2. The ionic SO4^（2-） species on the catalyst surface was one reason for deactivation of the catalyst in SCR. The formation of the ionic SO4^（2-） species was correlated with the amount of surface adsorbed oxygen species. Less adsorbed oxygen species gave less ionic SO4^（2-） species on the catalyst.展开更多

The stronger acidic property resulted in the higher exposure of active sites as well as the higher SCR activity.展开更多

文摘A series of Ce-doped MnOx/TiO2 catalysts were prepared by impregnation method and used for catalytic oxidation of NO in the presence of excess O2. The sample with the Ce doping concentration of Ce/Mn=l/3 and calcined at 300 ℃ shows a superior activity for NO oxidation to NO2. On Ce（1）Mn（3）Ti catalyst, 58% NO conversion was obtained at 200 ℃ and 85% NO conversion at 250 ℃ with a GHSV of 41000 h-1, which was much higher than that over MnOx/TiO2 catalyst （48% at 250 ℃）. Characterization results implied that the higher activity of Ce（1）Mn（3）Ti could be attributed to the enrichment of well-dispersed MnO2 on the surface and the abundance of Mn3＋ and Zi3＋ species. The addition of Ce into MnO2/TiO2 could improve oxygen storage capacity and facilitate oxygen mobility of the catalyst as shown by PL and ESR, so that its activity for NO oxidation could be enhanced. The effect of H2O and SO2 on the catalyst activity was also investigated.

Five different methods, namely, mechanical mixing, impregnation,hydrothermal treatment, co‐precipitation, and a sol‐gel technique, were used to synthesizeMnOx‐CeO2 catalysts.

This trend is related to redox interactions between MnOx and CeO2.

Strengthening of the electronic interactions between MnOx and CeO2, driven by thehigh‐temperature and high‐pressure conditions during the hydrothermal treatment also improved the catalyst characteristics. Thus, the hydrothermal treatment method is an efficient and environment‐friendly route to synthesizing low‐temperature denitrification (deNOx) catalysts.

文摘In this work, the effectiveness of V2O5-WO3/TiO2 catalysts modified with different CeO2 contents by impregnation and co-precipitation methods on the selective catalytic reduction of NOxby NH3 have been studied comparatively by various experimental techniques. The results showed that the NO conversion of V2O5-WO3/CeO2-TiO2 catalysts modified by co-precipitation method obviously increased with the Ce doping contents in the studied range below 20%（All Ce contents are in mass fractions）, but the NO conversion of V2O5-WO3/CeO2/TiO2 catalysts modified by impregnation methods was lower than V2O5-WO3/CeO2-TiO2 catalysts especially beyond 2.5% Ce doping contents. The V2O5-WO3/CeO2-TiO2 catalysts showed better SCR activity, wider reaction window, and higher sulfur and water resistance. The characterization results elucidated that the modified catalysts by co-precipitation method exhibited higher specific surface area, much better dispersity of Ce component, more Ce^（3＋）species and more Br？nsted acid sites than that by impregnation. The vacancies caused by more Ce^（3＋）species were favorable for more NO oxidation to NO2, and the interaction between Ce species and WOxspecies generated more Br？nsted acid sites. It could be supposed that dispersed Ce Oxspecies and WOxspecies offered more second active centers respectively to adsorb oxygen and activate ammonia as co-catalysis to the primary active center of V ions, thus facilitated the better SCR activity of modified V2O5-WO3/CeO2-TiO2 catalysts by coprecipitation methods. The co-precipitation methods with Ce component were more suitable for production of modified commercial V2O5-WO3/TiO2 catalysts.

H2-TPR result indicated that a large amount of CuO formed the active site for CO oxidation in 8 wt.% CuO/TiO2-SnO2 catalyst.

文摘Catalyst support is extremely important for future fuel cell devices.In this work,we developed doubleshelled C/TiO2(DSCT)hollow spheres as an excellent catalyst support via a template-directed method.The combination of hollow structure,TiO2 shell and carbon layer results in excellent electron conductivity,electrocatalytic activity,and chemical stability.These uniformed DSCT hollow spheres are used as catalyst support to synthesize Pt/DSCT hollow spheres electrocatalyst.The resulting Pt/DSCT hollow spheres exhibited high catalytic performance with a current density of 462 mA mg^-1 for methanol oxidation reaction,which is 2.52 times higher than that of the commercial Pt/C.Furthermore,the increased tolerance to carbonaceous poisoning with a higher If/Ibratio and a better long-term stability in acid media suggests that the DSCT hollow sphere is a promising C/TiO2-based catalyst support for direct methanol fuel cells applications.
文摘Solar‐powered semiconductor photocatalysis is considered a powerful strategy for addressing environmental pollution and energy crisis.Nevertheless,the separation and transfer abilities of photogenerated photocatalysts remain unsatisfactory.Herein,dual Ti_(3)C_(2)nanosheets/Ag co‐catalysts synergistically decorated hierarchical flower‐like TiO_(2)microspheres for boosting photocatalytic H_(2)production were fabricated by electrostatic self‐assembly and subsequent photoreduction procedures.The optimal Ag/Ti_(3)C_(2)/TiO_(2)composite demonstrated an excellent photocatalytic H_(2)‐production rate of 1024.72μmol g^(−1)h^(−1)under simulated solar irradiation,achieving nearly 40,2.3,and 1.8 folds with respect to that obtained on pristine TiO2,optimized Ti_(3)C_(2)/TiO_(2)composite,and Ag/TiO_(2)composite,respectively.The considerably improved photocatalytic H_(2)‐production activity is associated with the synergistic effect of the hierarchical flower‐like structure of TiO2,excellent electrical conductivity of Ti_(3)C_(2),and surface plasmon resonance effect of Ag,which enhances the light absorption capacity and promotes the separation and transfer of photogenerated carriers.This study provides insight into the design of high‐efficiency photocatalysts with dual co‐catalysts for solar H_(2)production.
文摘Bifunctional TiO2 photocatalysts co-doped with nitrogen and sulfur were prepared by the controlled thermal decomposition of ammonium titanyl sulfate precursor. They have both photocatalytic activity and Brφnsted acidity, and thus are active in the photoreduction of Cr（VI） under solar light irradiation without the addition of acids. The activity is superior to that of Degussa P25 in the acidified suspension at the same pH adjusted by H2SO4.

文摘TiO_2 modified Al_2O_3 binary oxide was prepared by a wet-impregnation method and used as the support for ruthenium catalyst. The catalytic performance of Ru/TiO_2–Al_2O_3catalyst in CO_2 methanation reaction was investigated. Compared with Ru/Al_2O_3 catalyst, the Ru/TiO_2–Al_2O_3catalytic system exhibited a much higher activity in CO_2 methanation reaction. The reaction rate over Ru/TiO_2–Al_2O_3 was 0.59 mol CO_2·(g Ru)1·h-1, 3.1 times higher than that on Ru/Al_2O_3[0.19 mol CO_2·(gRu)-1·h-1]. The effect of TiO_2 content and TiO_2–Al_2O_3calcination temperature on catalytic performance was addressed. The corresponding structures of each catalyst were characterized by means of H_2-TPR, XRD, and TEM. Results indicated that the averaged particle size of the Ru on TiO_2–Al_2O_3support is 2.8 nm, smaller than that on Al_2O_3 support of 4.3 nm. Therefore, we conclude that the improved activity over Ru/TiO_2–Al_2O_3catalyst is originated from the smaller particle size of ruthenium resulting from a strong interaction between Ru and the rutile-TiO_2 support, which hindered the aggregation of Ru nanoparticles.
文摘TiOz nanotubes （TiO2-NTs） were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. Co and Mo active components were supported on a series of the as-prepared TiO2-NTs samples which were calcined at different temperatures. The effects of support calcination temperature of CoMo/TiOz- NTs catalysts on their catalytic performance were investigated for selective hydrodesulfurization （HDS）. The samples were characterized by means of the scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, the transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, N2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, Raman spectroscopy and H2 temperature-programmed reduction （Hz-TPR）. The experimental results revealed that TiOz-NTs support calcined under 500℃ can maintain the nanotubular structure with higher surface area and pore volume. Meanwhile, the obtained supported CoMo/TiO2-NTs catalysts exhibited weak metal-support interaction, more octahedral Mo6＋ species and high catalytic performance in selective HDS.

文摘A titania pillared interlayered clay（Ti-PILC） supported vanadia catalyst（V2O5/TiO2-PILC） was prepared by wet impregnation for the selective catalytic reduction（SCR） of NO with ammonia. Compared to the traditional V2O5/TiO2 and V2O5-MoO3/TiO2 catalysts, the V2O5/TiO2-PILC catalyst exhibited a higher activity and better SO2 and H2O resistance in the NH3-SCR reaction. Characterization using TPD, in situ DRIFT and XPS showed that surface sulfate and/or sulfite species and ionic SO4^（2-）species were formed on the catalyst in the presence of SO2. The ionic SO4^（2-） species on the catalyst surface was one reason for deactivation of the catalyst in SCR. The formation of the ionic SO4^（2-） species was correlated with the amount of surface adsorbed oxygen species. Less adsorbed oxygen species gave less ionic SO4^（2-） species on the catalyst.
文摘NOx emission abatement catalysts V 2O 5 supported on various TiO 2 including anatase, rutile and mixture of both were investigated with various physico\|chemical measurements such as BET, NH\-3\|TPD, NARP, XRD and so on, and the effect of TiO\-2 surface properties on the SCR(selective catalytic reduction) activity of V\-2O\-5/TiO\-2 catalysts was studied. It was found that the TiO\-2 surface properties had strong affect on the SCR activity of V\-2O\-5/TiO\-2 catalysts. The stronger acidic property resulted in the higher exposure of active sites as well as the higher SCR activity.
