Research progress on low-concentration methane oxidation using palladium-based catalysts

Insight into the structure of supported palladium catalysts during the total oxidation of methane.

The combination of in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and on-line catalytic data provided insight into the structure-performance relationship of a flame-made Pd/ZrO(2) catalyst during the total oxidation of methane: upon heating, a sudden reduction accompanied by sintering of the Pd-particles, leads to a significantly lower catalytic activity and a hysteresis during coolin...

Isotopic Studies of Methane Oxidation Pathways on PdO Catalysts

Mechanistic details of CH4 oxidation were examined on PdO/ ZrO2 catalysts using isotopic tracer methods and measurements of kinetic isotope effects. Normal kinetic isotope effects were observed using CH4/O2 and CD4/O2 reactant mixtures. The (kH/kD) ratio was between 2.6 and 2.5, and it decreased slightly as the reaction temperature increased from 527 to 586 K. These kinetic isotope effects refl...

Low-temperature CO oxidation on multicomponent gold based catalysts

In this work the development of gold catalysts, essentially based on γ-alumina with small superficial fraction of Ce-Fe mixed oxides as support for the low temperature CO oxidation is proposed. Characterization results obtained by means of TEM, OSC, XPS, UV-Vis spectroscopy and H2-TPR are employed to correlate the activity data with the catalysts composition. The bare γ-alumina supported gold c...

Palladium nanoparticles supported on a triptycene-based microporous polymer: highly active catalysts for CO oxidation.

Pd nanoparticles were well dispersed on a new triptycene-based microporous polymer support by the gas bubbling-assisted membrane reduction (GBMR) method. The stability of Pd nanoparticles is improved by the porous support, and the materials show excellent performance for CO oxidation.
