Effect of platinum on Ceria supported Cu catalysts for PrOx process in fuel processors
Authors
Abstract:
The CO preferential oxidation (PrOx) is one of the critical steps in hydrogen production and purification for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC). This reaction was investigated in the presence of excess hydrogen over Cu/CeO2, Pt/CeO2 and Cu-Pt/CeO2 catalysts. The ceria supports was prepared via precipitation method and Cu-Pt/CeO2 catalyst was synthesized by sequential impregnation on ceria. The catalysts were characterized by XRD. Comparison of ceria supported copper and platinum showed that copper catalysts activity was higher than platinum in PrOx process. Effect of platinum addition on ceria supported copper was investigated and results showed that Pt promoter have positive effect on CO conversion in low temperature (

Role of ceria in oxidative dehydrogenation on supported vanadia catalysts.
The effect of the suppport on oxidative dehydrogenation activity for vanadia/ceria systems is examined for the oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde by use of well-defined VO(x)/CeO(2)(111) model catalysts. Temperature-programmed desorption at low vanadia loadings revealed reactivity at much lower temperature (370 K) as compared to pure ceria and vanadia on inert supports such as silica. Densit...

Objectives • Further improve the new catalyst consisting of a submonolayer of Pt on carbon-supported Ru nanoparticles (1%Pt/10%Ru/C) to come close to the DOE’s 2010 target of 100 μg/cm2 noble metal loading. • Further elucidate the inhibition mechanism of CO on H2 oxidation on Pt. • Reduce Ru loadings in Pt-Ru electrocatalysts. • Explore monolayer-level-supported Pt electrocatalysts for O2 reduc...
full textStudy of HMS Modified ZrO2 Supported Platinum Catalysts for Toluene Removal: Catalytic Combustion and Kinetics Study
Reaction behaviors and kinetics of catalytic oxidation of toluene with different feed flows over Pt/Zr(x)-HMS catalysts with Si/Zr ratio equal to 5, 10, 20 and 35 were investigated over a wide temperature range (200 – 500 oC). Results show that Pt/Zr(x)-HMS performs more easily toluene oxidation. The kinetic data were fitted by the Power-law and Mars–van Krevelen kinetic models. The fitting res...
full textPreferential CO oxidation in hydrogen (PROX) on ceria supported catalysts PART II. Oxidation states and surface species on Pd/CeO2 under reac- tion conditions, suggested reaction mechanism
The aim of the PROX reaction is to reduce the CO content of hydrogen feed to proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) by selective oxidation of CO in the presence of excess hydrogen. Both Pt and Pd on ceria are active in CO oxidation (without hydrogen) while Pd is poorly active in the presence of hydrogen. In this paper we aimed at finding the reasons of such behavior, using the same techniq...
full textPreferential CO oxidation in hydrogen (PROX) on ceria supported catalysts PART I. Oxidation state and surface species on Pt/CeO2 under reaction conditions
The CO content of hydrogen feed to proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) must be kept under 1-100 ppm for their proper operation. This can be achieved by using catalysts able to selectively oxidize CO in the presence of excess hydrogen (PROX). The present study reports on the mechanism of PROX reaction on Pt/CeO2 catalyst, by using catalytic tests, in-situ DRIFTS, high-pressure XPS, HRTEM...
