Carbon-hydrogen bond activation over tungsten carbide catalysts
Tungsten carbides with surface areas ranging from 4 to 39 m2/g were prepared by the temperatureprogrammed carburization of tungsten oxide and nitride powders with pure C H 4 o r a 48.9% CH4 in H 2 mixture. Oxygen uptakes on the carbides were low most likely because of the presence of graphitic carbon at the surface. Nevertheless, the carbides were active and selective for the dehydrogenation of...
متن کاملNano-tungsten carbide decorated graphene as co-catalysts for enhanced hydrogen evolution on molybdenum disulfide.
A novel electrocatalyst of layered MoS2 supported on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) decorated with nano-sized tungsten carbide (WC) shows an enhanced catalytic performance in the hydrogen evolution reaction, which could be attributed to the presence of a conductive and electrocatalytically-active nano-WC dispersant and the positive synergistic effect between nano-WC/RGO and layered MoS2.
متن کاملNanostructured tungsten carbide catalysts for polymer electrolyte fuel cells
In this study, high current densities si.e., 0.9 A/cm2d have been obtained in a hydrogen/air polymer electrolyte fuel cell using nanoscale tungsten carbide as the anode catalyst and carbon supported platinum as the cathode catalyst under normal operating conditions of 80 °C and 3 atm. These results show a possibility of replacing precious metal anode catalysts with transition metal compounds fo...
متن کاملCarbon in palladium catalysts: A metastable carbide.
The catalytic activity of palladium toward selective hydrogenation of hydrocarbons depends on the partial pressure of hydrogen. It has been suggested that the reaction proceeds selectively toward partial hydrogenation only when a carbon-rich film is present at the metal surface. On the basis of first-principles simulations, we show that carbon can dissolve into the metal because graphite format...
متن کاملInteractions between hydrogen and tungsten carbide: a first principles study
Tungsten carbide has been proposed to be a potential inexpensive alternative to platinum for catalyzing hydrogenation reactions. Using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we performed a systematic study on the geometries and electronic structures of small (WC)n (n 1⁄4 1–10) clusters. A cubic-like growth of WC clusters was found to be the preferred pathway. The interactions between the...
