Etching of the Intermetallic Compounds PdGa and Pd3Ga7: An Effective Way to Increase Catalytic Activity?
نویسندگان
چکیده
A series of ZnO/Al2O3 mixed oxide samples with varying Zn/Al ratio is prepared by coprecipitation, ageing, drying, and calcination. Samples are investigated in the state after drying and calcination. The applied methods include X-ray diffraction, solid-state 27Al magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and thermogravimetric experiments coupled with evolved gas analysis. Phases present in the dried precursor samples include hydrozincite, zaccagnaite, and an unknown phase. After calcination zinc oxide and spinel can be found. All results indicate the substitution of Al ions for Zn ions in zinc oxide of zinc-rich samples.

15 August 2008 Abstract The intermetallic compounds PdGa and Pd3Ga7 are introduced as selective catalysts for the hydrogenation of acetylene. Single phase PdGa and Pd3Ga7 can readily be prepared by the appropriate thermal treatment of the stoichiometric mixtures of the corresponding elements. The initial low surface areas of the as-prepared materials can be increased by careful mechanical treat...

متن کاملIn situ XPS study of methanol reforming on PdGa near-surface intermetallic phases
In situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and low-energy ion scattering were used to study the preparation, (thermo)chemical and catalytic properties of 1:1 PdGa intermetallic near-surface phases. Deposition of several multilayers of Ga metal and subsequent annealing to 503-523 K led to the formation of a multi-layered 1:1 PdGa near-surface state without desorption of excess Ga to the gas phase....
