Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanostructured ceria catalysts have shown promising results in selective oxidation reactions due to their unique properties and structures. In this field, Nallapa Reddy has conducted research on designing and developing efficient and effective ceria-based catalysts for selective oxidation reactions. The use of nanostructured ceria catalysts has gained a lot of attention in recent years due to their high surface area, unique surface chemistry, and excellent redox properties, making them ideal for catalysis. The study of nanostructured ceria catalysts involves the synthesis, modification, and characterization of ceria-based catalysts at the nanoscale level. These catalysts can be tailored to specific chemical reactions and processes by controlling their chemical synthesis, modification, and processing parameters. Chemical reactions can be optimized to maximize yield, selectivity, and specificity by understanding the chemical properties, mechanisms, and intermediates of the reaction. Various characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy are used to analyze the physical and chemical properties of the nanostructured ceria catalysts. The characterization results are crucial in understanding the structure-property relationship of the catalysts and to identify the optimal catalyst structure for a particular reaction. The potential applications of nanostructured ceria catalysts include catalytic oxidation reactions, redox reactions, and other chemical reactions in the field of chemical engineering. The surface properties of the catalysts can be modified to achieve the desired catalytic activity and selectivity for the specific reaction. These catalysts can be used for industrial applications in chemical synthesis, petrochemicals, and other chemical manufacturing processes. The development of nanostructured ceria catalysts has also contributed to the advancement of green chemistry by reducing the need for hazardous reagents and improving the efficiency of chemical reactions. However, the toxicity and biocompatibility of the catalysts need to be studied and considered to ensure their safe use in industrial applications and to prevent any negative impact on the environment. Overall, Nallapa Reddy's research on nanostructured ceria catalysts for selective oxidation reactions has contributed significantly to the field of catalysis and chemical engineering. The optimization of chemical reactions and the development of efficient and effective catalysts are crucial in achieving sustainable and efficient chemical manufacturing processes.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catalytic oxidation of hydrocarbons has been intensively studied, with the purpose of minimizing emissions of pollutants and facilitating the combustion process. Noble metals, such as platinum and palladium, are the most effective catalysts for the oxidation of hydrocarbons. However, the limited supply of these noble metals imposes a need for developing alternative catalysts. Transition metal oxides are attractive alternatives due to their high thermal stability and low cost. Previous studies of metal oxide catalysts have focused on metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) supported on porous substrates, such as Al2O3, ZrO2 and spinel-type (AB2O4) supports. Although the dispersed metal species over large surface area have shown much higher activity than the bulk metal oxide, there are several limitations. First, interactions between the support and NPs at high temperatures impede the fundamental understanding of the catalytic properties of individual NPs, and limit their application conditions. Moreover, the solid supports limit the loading of NPs because NPs tend to aggregate at large loadings, leading to a decrease in catalytic activity. Herein, one-dimensional (1-D) nanostructured metal oxide were directly grown on metal mesh substrates and used as catalysts for hydrocarbons oxidation. The 1-D nanostructured catalysts benefits from reduced interaction with the substrates, great flexibility in increasing the catalyst loading, and convenience in tuning the surface chemistry for higher catalytic activity, thus exhibit comparable or better catalytic activity and stability compared to the supported NPs. As one of the most active metal oxide catalysts, CuO was used as a model system to demonstrate the effectiveness of the 1-D nanostructured metal oxide catalysts. CuO NWs have been grown on Cu mesh by solid phase diffusion and applied to catalyze methane oxidation reactions. The CuO NWs have shown comparable or even better activity and stability than the supported CuO NPs. Moreover, owing to the fact that the NWs were exposed on the substrate surface and easy to access, two methods were used to tune the NWs for enhanced catalytic activity. The first one was to reduce the CuO NWs to more active Cu2O NWs by H2 plasma, which has shown 20% increase activity for CH4 oxidation reactions and several times higher activity for CO oxidation reactions. The kinetics study have shown that the bulk oxygen diffusion in Cu2O was faster, which could be one of the reasons for higher activity of Cu2O than that of CuO. The second tuning method was to decorate the CuO NWs with more active NP materials, such as Co3O4 and noble metals with a newly developed simple, fast and general sol-flame method. After the Co3O4 decoration, the CuO NWs surface was uniformly and densely covered by Co3O4 NP-chain structures, with large NP loading, high surface area and minimal aggregation, resulting in times higher activity in catalyzing CH4 oxidation. Moreover, this sol-flame method is a general method to decorate NWs with various NPs, and even to dope NWs with dopants for desirable properties. Given the generality and simplicity of the sol-flame methods, it can be applied to not only catalysis, but also other important application areas, such as lithium ion battery, supercapacitor and photoelectrochemical devices. In addition, to incorporate Cu and Co, the most active metal oxide catalyst Co3O4 was grown as 1-D structure on stainless steel mesh with the Cu2+ ion enhanced ammonia-evaporation-induced synthesis method. The synergetic effects of Cu and Co in catalytic process were studied, which have shown that the Cu2+ improved the nucleation and growth process of 1-D Co3O4, however, the catalytic activity is mainly from the Co species.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book gives a comprehensive summary of the existing information on the structural/electronic properties, chemistry and catalytic properties of vanadium and molybdenum containing catalysts. As at least one of these two elements is essential to most partial oxidation catalysts the book is of great interest to advanced students of catalysis and researchers both in academia and industry. Despite major developments in the field, the last book with a similar scope was published in 1989 and therefore a new book is overdue. The book benefits largely from the fact that the subject is a major research focus at the Department of Inorganic Chemistry amongst other departments at the Fritz Haber Institute, a world leading institution for catalysis research, ensuring an up-to-date treatise. Such an integrated approach including the relation of in situ spectroscopic results from real catalysts to those of model catalytic systems has not been accomplished before. The introductory chapter discusses the importance of nanoscience for the controlled synthesis of catalysts with functional properties. The following two chapters introduce the necessary background regarding surface properties and preparation techniques, leading from a textbook level to the current state of knowledge. The following chapter starts with an extensive survey and analysis of the existing open and patent literature, which is an essential knowledge source for the development of the new generation of partial oxidation catalysts and will be of particular value to those developing new partial oxidation catalysts. In the remaining subchapters, important examples from current research on partial oxidation reactions are reviewed from experts in the field. The next chapter discusses the importance of 2- and 3-dimensional model systems for a fundamental understanding of the structure of transition metal oxide catalysts and its correlation to reactivity. These results are related to those of the real catalytic systems. The last chapter gives an outlook on research opportunities within the area of partial oxidation reactions.

Download or read book Investigation and Rational Design of the Catalyst-support Interface in Redox Catalysis by Ceria written by Zhongqi Liu and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigating and controlling the catalyst-support interfacial interaction/structure and their effects on catalytic performance are crucial for optimizing the activity, selectivity, and durability of catalytic materials, as the heterogeneous catalytic reactions typically take place on the catalyst surface and/or at the interface between the catalyst and support. Ceria (CeO2), due to its remarkable redox activity, has been widely adopted as an active support material or promoter in a multitude of redox catalytic reactions and is the focus of this research. With the goal of bridging the predictable catalyst design-fundamental understanding of performance-practical application, we expect to develop uniform and well-defined CeO2 nanostructures as model supports to investigate the underlying mechanism of the catalyst-support interactions, and furthermore establish the correlation between interfacial structure and catalytically active sites. In Chapter 2, reducible CeO2 nanorods and nanocubes, as well as irreducible SiO2 nanospheres supported cobalt oxides (CoOx) catalysts were synthesized and comparatively studied to understand the effects of support morphology, surface defect, support reducibility, in addition to the CoOx-support interactions on their redox and catalytic properties. Chapter 3 focuses on exploring the role of “bimetallic catalysts-support interaction” over highly active CeO2 nanorods supported pure cobalt oxides and cobalt-based bimetallic oxides nanoparticles (Fe-Co, Ni-Co and Cu-Co). The interactions between cobalt with the second transition metals (Fe, Ni and Cu) are discussed as well. Nanoparticle agglomeration issue always exists when using wet-chemical methods to synthesize CeO2 nanomaterials, which is harmful for catalytic applications due to decreased surface area. Therefore, Chapter 4 presents a scalable and facile electrospinning process for designing novel fibrous structured CeO2 and one-pot synthesis of high-surface-area, thermally stable and low-temperature active Ru-CeO2 nanofiber catalysts. Besides, attracted by the great interest of three-dimensional (3D) nanoarray structures fabrication towards novel and high-performance catalyst design, as well as nanodevice applications, electrochemical deposition technique was adopted for fabricating CeO2 nanoarrays in Chapter 5. Processing factors on growing controllable CeO2 nanoarrays, including the current density, reaction temperature, stirring rate, anode and substrate types were comprehensively investigated. A scale-up synthetic strategy for CeO2 nanoarrays fabrication is developed. Besides, possible mechanisms for morphological evolution and growth of CeO2 nanoarrays are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highly active, low cost and durable electrocatalysts are desired for the development and commercialization of fuel cells and metal-air batteries. The efficiency of these devices is significantly limited by the activation of oxygen-involved reactions, namely oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Precious metals (such as Pt) and metal oxides (such as RuO2) are traditional electrocatalysts for ORR and OER, respectively. However, the electrocatalytic performance of these precious metal-based nanomaterials is still hindered by their scarcity, high cost, insufficient activity and poor durability. Recently, developing cost-efficient and highly active electrocatalysts to replace the precious metals and oxides have obtained increasing attentions. To enhance the performance of ORR electrocatalysis, formation of PtM (M=Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) is one of most widely used strategies. The utilization of PtM can not only decrease the overall cost but improve the catalytic activity due to the synergistic effect between Pt and M. In addition, porous carbon-based nanomaterials, such as heteroatom-doped carbon, metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) nanostructures and carbon/nonprecious metal hybrids, have also been demonstrated to be promising candidates for ORR catalysis in alkaline media. These porous catalysts can effectively reduce the cost because of the absence of precious metals. Besides, the unique porous structures are favorable for mass transport and electron transfer, thus improving ORR catalytic performance. For OER electrocatalysis, a multitude of efforts have been devoted to investigate earth-abundant and highly active catalysts, such as transition metal-based nanomaterials (alloys, oxides, phosphides, phosphates, hydroxides, etc.). The corresponding OER catalytic performance can be effectively improved by tailoring the intrinsic nature of the catalysts as well as forming sufficient active sites, which can be achieved by tuning the elemental composition and increasing the surface area. Herein, a large variety of nanostructured electrocatalysts with different composition and morphology were designed and synthesized. Thanks to their compositional and morphological advances, these catalysts have been demonstrated to be active for ORR or OER.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Valuable chemicals, fuels and pharmaceuticals obtained by the transformation of raw materials have fascinated a lot of researchers in past few decades. However, to reduce problems related to these transformations different green, sustainable and economic techniques have been developed to carry out such organic transformations. Development of nanostructured catalysts has been preferred to accomplish heterogeneous catalytic organic transformations because of greater number of surface-active sites for catalytic processes, high catalyst recovery rate, environment friendly nature and their ease of synthesis. Besides the advances in nanocatalysis, certain challenges including not well-defined morphologies due to loss of control over it and loss of catalytic activity during operation need to be addressed. Ceria is actively investigated in field of catalysis. As a ubiquitous component in catalytic system, its inception is like an irreplaceable component in organic transformations. In this chapter, we appropriately reported various fabricating approaches to synthesize Cerium and CeO2-rooted nanoparticles and cerium nanoparticles supported on various support materials, accompanied with multimetallic schemes that show notable contribution to the field of catalysis. This comprehensive chapter will provide an improved understanding of nanostructured CeO2 and will provide deeper insight in the catalysis of Ce-based nanostructured materials and further widen their ambit of applications.
