Hydrazine decomposition over Irn/Al2O3 model catalysts prepared by size-selected cluster deposition.

CO oxidation on Aun/TiO2 catalysts produced by size-selected cluster deposition.

Planar model catalysts were prepared by deposition of size-selected gold clusters containing up to seven atoms on rutile TiO2 (110). Molecular oxygen is observed to bind inefficiently to the surface, probably at oxygen vacancies, and some oxygen also appears to bind to the gold clusters. Stable CO binding is observed atop gold for catalysts prepared by Au and Au2 deposition, but not for larger ...

CO x Free Hydrogen Production by Catalytic Decomposition of Methane Over Porous Ni/Al2O3 Catalysts

N2O Decomposition over Cu–Zn/γ–Al2O3 Catalysts

Cu–Zn/γ–Al2O3 catalysts were prepared by the impregnation method. Catalytic activity was evaluated for N2O decomposition in a fixed bed reactor. The fresh and used catalysts were characterized by several techniques such as BET surface area, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The Cu–Zn/γ–Al2O3 catalysts exhibit high activity and stability for N2O decomposition in mi...

Support effect in high activity gold catalysts for CO oxidation.

In this work, we present a detailed study concerning the evaluation of the metal-support interaction in high activity gold catalysts for CO oxidation. Using the colloidal deposition method, model catalysts were prepared, which allow the isolation of the effect of the support on the catalytic activity. Prefabricated gold particles were thus deposited on different support materials. Since the dep...

An in-depth understanding of the bimetallic effects and coked carbon species on an active bimetallic Ni(Co)/Al2O3 dry reforming catalyst.

Ni/Al2O3, Co/Al2O3 and bimetallic Ni(Co)/Al2O3 catalysts were prepared using an impregnation method and employed in CO2 dry reforming of methane under coking-favored conditions. The spent catalysts were carefully characterized using typical characterization technologies and inelastic neutron scattering spectroscopy. The bimetallic catalyst exhibited a superior activity and anti-coking performan...
