چکیده

The oxidation state of palladium in a model Pd/ ACZ three-way catalyst was monitored by synchronous XANES and mass spectrometry during two consecutive heating (to 850 C) and cooling (to 100 C) cycles under stoichiometric conditions simulating exhaust after treatment of a natural gas engine. During heating in the first cycle, PdO reduction occurred around 500 C and the initial fully oxidized state of Pd was never recovered upon heating and cooling cycles. A mixed Pd/Pd oxidation state was at work in the second cycle. Hence, the operando XANES study reveals that the PdOx/Pd pair exists in a working catalyst but is less active than the catalyst in its initial state of fully oxidized palladium. It is also evident from XANES spectra that ceria–zirconia promotes re-oxidation of metallic Pd, thus reasonably sustaining catalytic activity after exposure to high temperatures.

Structure and Reactivity of PdOx/ZrO2 Catalysts for Methane Oxidation at Low Temperatures

The kinetics of methane combustion at low temperatures are consistent with a Mars–van Krevelen redox mechanism involving the activation of methane on site pairs consisting of oxygen atoms and oxygen vacancies on the surface of PdOx crystallites. H2O strongly inhibits methane oxidation rates by titrating surface vacancies in a quasi-equilibrated adsorption–desorption step. Initial activation per...

Surface Protonics Promotes Catalysis

Catalytic steam reforming of methane for hydrogen production proceeds even at 473 K over 1 wt% Pd/CeO2 catalyst in an electric field, thanks to the surface protonics. Kinetic analyses demonstrated the synergetic effect between catalytic reaction and electric field, revealing strengthened water pressure dependence of the reaction rate when applying an electric field, with one-third the apparent ...

A Comparative Discussion of the Catalytic Activity and CO2-Selectivity of Cu-Zr and Pd-Zr (Intermetallic) Compounds in Methanol Steam Reforming

The activation and catalytic performance of two representative Zr-containing intermetallic systems, namely Cu-Zr and Pd-Zr, have been comparatively studied operando using methanol steam reforming (MSR) as test reaction. Using an inverse surface science and bulk model catalyst approach, we monitored the transition of the initial metal/intermetallic compound structures into the eventual active an...

Final Report on Pd Catalysts , March , 2001

Zirconia-supported Pd160 and bulk Pd160 were used as methane combustion catalysts for a reaction mixture containing 1% methane and 4% l8Oz in helium. The methane oxidation reaction was performed in pulsed experiments and the distribution of oxygen isotopes among the reaction products was monitored. The “0 content of the catalyst following labeled reaction mixture pulses was determined by cataly...

Operando TEM of Ru/RuO2 Catalyst Performing CO Oxidation

CO oxidation is a model reaction that is ideally suited for performing operando TEM. Several catalysts for oxidizing CO to CO2 have been extensively studied, including ruthenium and its oxide. Despite these efforts, there has still been considerable debate regarding the most active structure for this system [1,2,3]. In fact, many of the fundamental studies performed on this ruthenium catalyst w...
