Atomically dispersed gold supported on nanoscale ZnZrOx composite oxides was prepared and investigated in this work as a catalyst for the low-temperature ethanol dehydrogenation reactions. The support disperses atomically stabilizes it against growth much better than either of neat oxides. Sequential conversion reactions to acetaldehyde acetone take place Au/ZnZrOx catalysts within well-separated temperature windows over range tested temperatures (30–400 °C). ZnO modulates acidity ZrO2...
The viability of the Power-to-Gas (PtG) concept is strongly dependent on development highly active and stable methanation catalysts obtained from cheap abundant elements. In this paper, promotional effect MnO Ni supported silica-modified γ-Al2O3 (SA) was investigated in CO2 CO with Mn/Ni atomic ratios between 0 0.25. Significantly higher rates CH4 selectivities were for Mn-promoted compositions compared to Ni-only catalysts. optimal NiMn/SA (Mn/Ni = 0.25) catalyst exhibited improved...
Samples containing from 1 to 33 wt.% of NiO on silica and alumina doped with (1 20 in the support) have been prepared characterized by BET, XRD, FT-IR, UV–vis–NIR, FE-SEM, EDXS, TPR techniques. Catalysts pre-reduced situ before catalytic experiments data compared Ni/Al2O3 reference sample. Characterization results showed that SiO2 support has a low Ni dispersion ability mainly producing segregated particles small amount dispersed Ni2+ exchange sites. Instead, for Si-doped “surface spinel...
The characteristics of industrial catalysts for conventional water-gas shifts, methanol syntheses, methanation, and Fischer-Tropsch syntheses starting from syngases are reviewed discussed. information about under development the hydrogenation captured CO2 is also reported considered. In particular, reverse to methanol, CO2-methanation, CO2-Fischer-Tropsch analyzed. difference between those needed pure conversion surface chemistry metals, oxides, carbides involved in this field, relation...
Graphitic carbon nitride (gCN(H)) is a semiconductor with high mechanical and thermal stability which provides good dispersion of metal particles. As it resistant to corrosion, constitutes an alternative black as catalyst support in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), e.g., alcohol oxidation reactions. In this research work, gCN (H)-supported has been characterized by spectroscopic (UV–vis, IR, Raman) microscopy techniques (SEM, TEM, AFM) order gain deeper understanding the...
In the frame of energy transition and anthropogenic CO2 emission reduction, hydrogenation by using green hydrogen to produce Synthetic Natural Gas is considered as a promising option. Considering nickel low-cost natural abundance, Ni-based catalysts are most investigated used materials for methanation reaction in temperature range 573–673 K. However, showed inadequate low-temperature activity (below 473 K), low reducibility dispersion, catalyst deactivation due particles sintering or even...
A detailed critical analysis of the scientific literature data concerning catalysts for CO2 methanation based on nickel supported over oxides was performed. According to obtained information, it seems that an ionic support is necessary allow a good dispersion produce very small metal particles. Such particles result in being active toward methanation, limiting production carbonaceous materials. The use and/or surface additives gives rise medium basicity, allowing medium-strong adsorption...
