One step NaBH4 reduction of Pt-Ru-Ni catalysts on different types of carbon supports for direct ethanol fuel cells: Synthesis and characterization

The ternary catalyst Pt₇₅Ru₅Ni₂₀ was conducted on various types of carbon supports including functionalized Vulcan XC-72R (f-CB), functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (f-MWCNT), and mesoporous carbon (PC-Zn-succinic) by sodium borohydride chemical reduction method to improve the ethanol electrooxidation reaction (EOR) for direct ethanol fuel cell (DEFC). It was found that the particle size of the metals on f-MWCNT was 5.20 nm with good particle dispersion. The alloy formation of ternary catalyst was confirmed by XRD and more clearly described by SEM element mapping, which was relevant to the efficiency of the catalysts. Moreover, the mechanism of ethanol electrooxidation reaction based on the surface reaction was more understanding. The activity and stability for ethanol electrooxidation reaction (EOR) were investigated using cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry, respectively. The highest activity and stability for EOR were observed from Pt₇₅Ru₅Ni₂₀/f-MWCNT due to a good metal-carbon interaction. Ru and Ni presented in Pt-Ru-Ni alloy improved the activity and stability of ternary catalysts for EOR. Moreover, the reduction of Pt content in ternary catalyst led to the catalyst cost deduction in DEFC.

Fe2O3/Al2O3氧载体用于甲烷化学链燃烧：负载量与制备方法的影响

以不同方法制备了系列Fe₂O₃/Al₂O₃氧载体,采用XRD、H₂-TPR、CH₄-TPR、O₂-TPD和BET等分析技术对氧载体进行了表征。研究了不同Fe₂O₃负载量氧载体的甲烷化学链燃烧性能,考察了不同制备方法对Fe₂O₃/Al₂O₃氧载体结构、反应性和产物选择性的影响。结果表明,Fe₂O₃负载量对氧载体活性及产物中CO₂选择性的影响较大,负载量较低时氧载体活性较低且引起甲烷部分氧化产物CO含量增加。制备方法亦对氧载体与甲烷的反应活性有所影响,整体上共沉淀法制备的质量分数60％Fe₂O₃/Al₂O₃氧载体具有较高的氧化活性和化学链循环稳定性。其在反应温度850℃、反应时间15 min、30次循环后甲烷转化率及产物中CO₂选择性均未见明显降低。     

SO_4~(2-)功能化处理对Fe_2O_3催化剂上氨选择性催化还原NO_x性能的促进机理研究

采用沉淀法制备了Fe(OH)_3和Fe_2O_3。通过硫酸化处理得到SO_4~(2-)/Fe(OH)_3和SO_4~(2-)/Fe_2O_3两种催化剂,并将其应用于氨选择性催化还原NO_x(NH_3-SCR)反应,研究了SO_4~(2-)功能化处理对Fe_2O_3催化剂上NH_3-SCR脱硝性能的促进机理。结果表明,与纯的Fe_2O_3相比,硫酸化处理得到的催化剂上SCR活性得到显著提升;其中,SO_4~(2-)/Fe(OH)_3表现出更加优异的催化性能,在250-450℃时NO_x转化率高于80%,且具有优异的稳定性和抗H_2O+SO_2性能。XRD、Raman、TG、FT-IR、H_2-TPR、NH_3-TPD和in situ DRIFTS等表征结果显示,硫酸功能化处理能抑制Fe_2O_3的晶粒生长,同时SO_4~(2-)与Fe~(3+)结合形成硫酸盐复合物,提高了催化剂表面酸性位点的数量和酸强度,抑制了Fe_2O_3上的氨氧化反应,从而提高了其脱硝催化性能。
