In Situ Luminescence Thermometry To Locally Measure Temperature Gradients during Catalytic Reactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bandshape luminescence thermometry during in situ temperature measurements has been reported by preparing three catalytically relevant systems, which show temperature-dependent luminescence. One of these systems was further investigated as a showcase for application. Microcrystalline NaYF4 doped with Er3+ and Yb3+ was mixed with a commercial zeolite H-ZSM-5 to investigate the Methanol-to-Hydrocarbons (MTH) reaction, while monitoring the reaction products with online gas chromatography. Due to the exothermic nature of the MTH reaction, a front of increased temperature migrating down the fixed reactor bed was visualized, showing the potential for various applications of luminescence thermometry for in situ measurements in catalytic systems.

Temperature is a fundamental physical property of matter important in everyday life, in scientific and industrial applications. The methods to measure temperature can be divided into two main techniques: contact thermometry and non-contact thermometry. Contact methods use thermocouples, thermistors, and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), whereas noncontact methods often use the spectral e...
