Molybdenum Carbide Supported Platinum Catalysts for Water-Gas Shift: A Theoretical and Experimental Investigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Early transition metals carbides are catalytically active in a variety of reactions, such as isomerization reactions, hydrogenation reactions, water-gas shift (WGS), hydrocarbon steam reforming, etc. [1]. Our group recently developed a method to load metal catalysts onto high surface area carbide and nitride supports, and demonstrated that Pt supported on Mo carbide (Mo2C) possessed extraordinary activities for WGS [2].

Molybdenum boride and carbide catalyze hydrogen evolution in both acidic and basic solutions.
Sunlight-driven water splitting is one of the most attractive methods for solar energy conversion and storage. To achieve efficient water splitting, active catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) are required. Although platinum and a few other precious metals are highly active HER catalysts, their high cost and low abundance are severe hurdles for large-scale applications. The limit...
متن کاملCATALYTIC REFORMING OF n-HEPTANE ON PLATINUM-TUNGSTEN SUPPORTED ON GAMMA-ALUMINA
The mono-metallic and bi-metallic catalysts have been prepared by impregnating with solutions containing a compound of H2PtCl6,WO3 and 1ml HCl (0.1 mol). It should be noted that the catalysts’ activity and selectivity have been determined under these conditions : 450-5000C ,and 15-25atm by H2. For converting n-heptane , the molar ratio H2/C7H16 is 5 , and LHSV is 1.5ml/h. It has been proved tha...
متن کاملActive nonmetallic Au and Pt species on ceria-based water-gas shift catalysts.
Traditional analysis of reactions catalyzed by supported metals involves the structure of the metallic particles. However, we report here that for the class of nanostructured gold- or platinum-cerium oxide catalysts, which are active for the water-gas shift reaction, metal nanoparticles do not participate in the reaction. Nonmetallic gold or platinum species strongly associated with surface cer...
متن کاملAtomic-layered Au clusters on α-MoC as catalysts for the low-temperature water-gas shift reaction.
The water-gas shift (WGS) reaction (where carbon monoxide plus water yields dihydrogen and carbon dioxide) is an essential process for hydrogen generation and carbon monoxide removal in various energy-related chemical operations. This equilibrium-limited reaction is favored at a low working temperature. Potential application in fuel cells also requires a WGS catalyst to be highly active, stable...
متن کاملLow-cost industrially available molybdenum boride and carbide as "platinum-like" catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction in biphasic liquid systems.
Rarely reported low-cost molybdenum boride and carbide microparticles, both of which are available in abundant quantities due to their widespread use in industry, adsorb at aqueous acid-1,2-dichloroethane interfaces and efficiently catalyse the hydrogen evolution reaction in the presence of the organic electron donor - decamethylferrocene. Kinetic studies monitoring biphasic reactions by UV/vis...
