EXAFS determination of the size of Co clusters on silica.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The metallic Co catalyst for the Fischer-Tropsch reaction is prepared by reduction of Co salts impregnating microporous silica. The average size of the metallic Co clusters is determined from the average number of neighbours deduced from Co K-edge EXAFS of catalyst samples. A model EXAFS signal constructed from the scattering paths of Co metal fcc lattice with lengths up to 5 A is calibrated on a reference spectrum of Co metal foil. Catalyst spectra are interpreted with the same model expanded with variable neighbour fractions of the four nearest shells. Cluster size is obtained from comparison with the neighbour-fractions of consecutive fcc magic-number clusters.

Exafs Studies of Oxide Supported Osmium Carbonyl Clusters
The reactions of triosmium carbonyl clusters on functionalised high surface area silicas have been monitored by 0s L(II1) edge EXAFS. Interaction of [OS~(CO)~~] with HS(CH2)jSIL affords HOS~(CO)~~[S(CH~)~SIL], which was structurally characterised using spherical wave methods to analyse the EXAFS data. Subsequent thermolysis in vacuo yields a new material. Coordination to " ~ 2 CO groups, 0 oxyg...
متن کاملEffect of Carbide Particle Size on the Microstructure, Mechanical properties, and Wear Behavior of HVOF-sprayed WC-17% Co Coatings
This study investigates the effect of carbide particle size on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and abrasive wear resistance of WC-17%Co HVOF-sprayed coatings. The characteristics of WC-1, WC-2, and WC-3 coatings with carbide sizes of 1 µm, 0.9 µm, and 0.5 µm, respectively, were also investigated. WC-1 coating experienced the maximum carbon loss of 42%, while WC-2 and WC-3 coatings un...
متن کاملStructure and valency of a cobalt-phosphate water oxidation catalyst determined by in situ X-ray spectroscopy.
A water oxidation catalyst generated via electrodeposition from aqueous solutions containing phosphate and Co(2+) (Co-Pi) has been studied by in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Spectra were obtained for Co-Pi films of two different thicknesses at an applied potential supporting water oxidation catalysis and at open circuit. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectra indicate t...

The length scale of the local chemical anisotropy responsible for the growth-temperature-induced perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of face-centered cubic CoPt(3) alloy films was investigated using polarized extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS). These x-ray measurements were performed on a series of four (111) CoPt(3) films epitaxially grown on (0001) sapphire substrates. The EXAFS d...

Iron-functionalized disordered mesoporous silica (FeKIL-2) is a promising, environmentally friendly, cost-effective and highly efficient catalyst for the elimination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from polluted air via catalytic oxidation. In this study, we investigated the type of catalytically active iron sites for different iron concentrations in FeKIL-2 catalysts using advanced charac...
