Book excerpt: Nowadays, environmental concerns and the global energy crisis have become two of our greatest challenges. The main purpose of this dissertation research is to design highly active mesoporous materials that can efficiently catalyze environmental and energy related reactions. Surface properties can be easily tuned by thermal treatment and cation doping, resulting in improved catalytic activities. Synthesis and characterization of the materials, catalytic activities for carbon monoxide oxidation, oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reactions, and mechanistic studies are covered in this thesis. The first part describes the synthesis of mesoporous cobalt oxides through an inverse micelle route for low temperature carbon monoxide oxidation applications. The prepared material showed much better activity and stability compared with commercial cobalt oxide due to its nanoparticle nature and porous structure. The catalytic performance under both dry and moisture rich conditions were tested. Detailed characterization of the materials suggested that high surface areas and the presence of surface oxygen vacancies were critical for enhanced activities. In real systems, structured catalysts such as monolithic substrates coated with a layer of active material are used instead of powder form catalysts. To evaluate the potential of our catalysts to be used in practical catalytic devices, mesoporous metal oxides (MnOx, Co3O4, CeO2) were coated on cordierite substrate by dip coating and in-situ growth and were used as low temperature diesel oxidation catalysts. The resulting materials showed promising catalytic performance. The effect of particle size, loading amount and Cu doping on the catalytic performance are discussed in detail. In the last part, mesoporous cobalt oxides were used as bifunctional catalysts for oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reactions. If a catalyst can catalyze both reactions, it will have great potential in the application of rechargeable metal air batteries. Ni and Mn doping were introduced into the cobalt oxide material to increase the conductivity and active site population. The Ni incorporated cobalt oxide exhibited the best activity, which can be considered as a potential substituent for precious metal catalysts (Pt, Ir, Ru). Furthermore, the intrinsic structure-property relationships of the materials were established.

Abstract: Solid basic metal oxides have been extensively studied for biodiesel production via transesterification, researches are now focused on attaining high catalytic activity and durability towards one-step alkali transesterification, as well as high stability towards high free fatty acids (FFAs) and water content in oils for simultaneous esterification and transesterification, to enable their commercialization in industry. This work encompasses the design and characterization of three mixed metal oxide systems, with a detailed evaluation of their potential application in catalyzing transesterification of camelina oil to yield biodiesel. Na0.1Ca0.9TiO3 nanorods were synthesized via a simple alkaline hydrothermal pathway with ethanol as a co-solvent. Owing to their high basic strength of 11A new class of mesoporous Zn/MgO catalyst was synthesized by a simple alkaline hydrothermal method. Zn/MgO calcinated at 600 ℃ exhibited 88.7% biodiesel conversion at 120 ℃ with 3% w/w catalyst, 24:1 methanol to oil molar ratio for 8 h. The catalyst could be reused for five runs without significant loss of activity (>=84.0% biodiesel conversion). The excellent catalyst performance is possibly attributed to its high surface area and large mesopores. The higher surface basic sites density as compared to mesoporous MgO, as indicated by higher total basicity determined from benzoic titration and an increased lattice O2- percentage as revealed from XPS, attributing to its superior catalytic activity. A series of nano-sized MgO-ZnO catalysts with precise stoichiometry were successfully prepared by a simple EDTA complexing approach. Mg0.5Zn0.5 calcinated at 600 ℃ gave a maximum biodiesel conversion of 89.3% at 120 ℃ with 3% w/w catalyst, 24:1 methanol to oil molar ratio for 8 h. Its superior catalytic performance to MgO is mainly associated with the high basic sites density as determined from benzoic titration and XPS. The biodiesel conversion retained over 83.0% for five runs. The enhanced catalyst activity and stability might be contributed by the incorporation of Zn2+ for Mg2+ in MgO lattice and a high homogeneous distribution of MgO particles on ZnO, with the formation of Mg-O-Zn bond as evidenced by Fourier transform infrared spectroscope (FTIR) and XPS. The catalyst also demonstrated high tolerance to FFAs (10% w/w) and water (2% w/w) content, which make it desirable for direct conversion of oils with high FFAs level to biodiesel in a single-step process. Lastly, a Zn/La2O3 catalyst was synthesized by a simple hydrothermal pathway. It exhibits a higher basic strength than La2O3, as evidenced by the slightly lower O1s binding energy determined by XPS, leading to a higher catalytic activity. The enhanced catalytic activity and stability is likely contributed by the incorporation of Zn2+ for La3+ in the lattice. Using 1% w/w Zn/La2O3 as catalyst, the highest biodiesel conversion of 92.7% was obtained at 120 ℃ for 16 h with 36:1 methanol to oil molar ratio. The effective catalyst displayed a biodiesel conversion greater than 84.0% for four runs. DOI: 10.5353/th_b5204899 Subjects:

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research work presented here is focused on nanotechnological synthetic approaches for transition metal oxide nanomaterials and their applications in heterogeneous catalysis and adsorptive desulfurization reactions. Here, we discuss the controllable synthesis of functional nanomaterials and investigation of their structure-activity relationship in multiphase catalytic and sorption reactions. Among transition metal oxides, Co3O4 is well known for the presence of mobile oxygen, and thus is more reactive towards oxidation reactions. Aerobic oxidation under additive free conditions is highly desirable in organic synthesis reactions, from the viewpoint of green and sustainable chemistry. We demonstrate the activity enhancement of mesoporous cobalt oxide materials by substitutional doping of molybdenum ions. We discuss the surface chemistry in the production of active metal oxide nanoparticles and effect of lattice deformation on creating surface defects. High conversion and selectivity was achieved by controlling the surface area, Lewis acidity, and oxygen vacancy density of the solid catalyst in the liquid phase dehydrogenative coupling reactions. Synthesis of high surface area mesoporous cobalt molybdenum mixed metal oxide materials was accomplished using surfactant assisted inverse micelle method. The cobalt molybdenum oxide materials were investigated as a efficient desulfurization sorbent in a fixed bed reactor at low temperatures ( C).

Book excerpt: The proceedings of the VIIth International Symposium on the Scientific Bases for the Preparation of Heterogeneous Catalysts, are in line with the general scope of this series of events. Emphasis in all Symposia has been on the scientific aspects of the preparation of new and industrial catalysts, or on new methods of preparation, rather than on the catalytic reactions in which such solids are ultimately used. In the present context, the catalytic event itself has only been considered as another, though often decisive, method of catalyst characterization.

Book excerpt: This two-volume book provides an overview of physical techniques used to characterize the structure of solid materials, on the one hand, and to investigate the reactivity of their surface, on the other. Therefore this book is a must-have for anyone working in fields related to surface reactivity. Among the latter, and because of its most important industrial impact, catalysis has been used as the directing thread of the book. After the preface and a general introduction to physical techniques by M. Che and J.C. Vedrine, two overviews on physical techniques are presented by G. Ertl and Sir J.M. Thomas for investigating model catalysts and porous catalysts, respectively. The book is organized into four parts: Molecular/Local Spectroscopies, Macroscopic Techniques, Characterization of the Fluid Phase (Gas and/ or Liquid), and Advanced Characterization. Each chapter focuses upon the following important themes: overview of the technique, most important parameters to interpret the experimental data, practical details, applications of the technique, particularly during chemical processes, with its advantages and disadvantages, conclusions.
