Then, active component of cobalt and a series of alkaline- earth metal promoters or nickel (Ni) with different contents were loaded on the γ-Al2O3 support. The catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetry analysis (TGA). The activity and selectivity of the catalysts in catalytic partial oxidation (CPO) of methane have been compared with Co/γ-Al2O3, and it is found that the catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability are enhanced by the addition of alkaline-earth metals and nickel. The optimal loadings of strontium (Sr) and Ni were 6 and 4 wt%, respectively. This finding will be helpful in designing the trimetallic Co-Ni-Sr/γ-Al2O3 catalysts with high performance in CPO of methane.展开更多

The as-synthesized catalysts were characterized by N2physical adsorption/desorption, X-ray diffraction(XRD), Fourier transform infrared(FT-IR) spectroscopy, hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction(H2-TPR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and thermogravimetry analysis(TGA). The effects of nickel content, calcination and reaction temperatures, gas hourly space velocity(GHSV) and inert gas dilution of N2on their performance of catalytic partial oxidation of methane(CPOM) were investigated. Catalytic activity test results show that the highest methane conversion(>85%), the best selectivities to carbon monoxide(>87%) and to hydrogen(>95%), the excellent stability and perfect H2/CO ratio(2.0) can be obtained over Ni/CeO2-Al2O3with 8 wt% Ni content calcined at 700 ℃ under the reaction condition of 750 ℃, CH4/O2ratio of 2 : 1 and gas hourly space velocity of 12000 mL h-1 g-1. Characterization results show that the good catalytic performance of this composite catalyst can be contributed to its large specific surface area(～108 m2 g-1), small crystallite size, easy reducibility and low coking rate.展开更多

The as-prepared products were intensively characterized by some physicochemical characterizations like N_2 physical adsorption, X-ray powder diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscope(SEM), transmission electron microscope(TEM), UV–Vis diffuse reflectance(UV–Vis DRS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR),photoelectrochemical measurements, and photoluminescence(PL) spectroscopy. The characterization results indicated that La and Ce doping induced obvious crystal phase transformation in Bi_2O_3, from monoclinic to tetragonal phase. La and Ce codoping also gave rise to the obvious synergetic effects, e.g., the lattice contraction of Bi_2O_3, the decrease of crystal size and the increase of surface area. The photocatalytic performance of the prepared catalysts was evaluated by removal of dye acid orange II with high concentration under visible light irradiation. Results showed that La/Ce-codoped Bi_2O_3 displayed much higher photocatalytic performance than that of bare Bi_2O_3, single La or Ce doped Bi_2O_3 samples. The superior photocatalytic activity was mainly attributed to the improved texture and surface properties and the synergistic effects of La and Ce codoping on suppressing the recombination of photo-generated electrons(e^-) and holes(h^+).展开更多
