Abstract
Ag/MnOx catalysts have great prospects for practical application in ozone decomposition due to their excellent activity and water resistance; yet, improving the stability of Ag/MnOx catalysts for ozone decomposition remains challenging. Here, the addition of alkali metals significantly improved the stability of 2%Ag/MnO2 catalyst for ozone decomposition under humid conditions. Alkali metals donate electrons to Ag nanoparticles through oxygen bridges, forcing Ag active sites to become hydroxylated by promoting the dissociation of H2O molecules, and finally forming new stable hydroxylated Ag active sites (Ag-O(OH)x-K). The O22- species on the new active sites of the 2%K-2%Ag/MnO2 catalyst can easily desorb; therefore, the hydroxylated active sites can remain stable. These factors are key to the stable ozone decomposition activity of 2%K-2%Ag/MnO2 catalyst in humid gas. This study represents a critical step towards the design and synthesis of high-stability catalysts for ozone decomposition.
期刊介绍:
Applied Catalysis B: Environment and Energy (formerly Applied Catalysis B: Environmental) is a journal that focuses on the transition towards cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. The journal's publications cover a wide range of topics, including:
1.Catalytic elimination of environmental pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, sulfur compounds, chlorinated and other organic compounds, and soot emitted from stationary or mobile sources.
2.Basic understanding of catalysts used in environmental pollution abatement, particularly in industrial processes.
3.All aspects of preparation, characterization, activation, deactivation, and regeneration of novel and commercially applicable environmental catalysts.
4.New catalytic routes and processes for the production of clean energy, such as hydrogen generation via catalytic fuel processing, and new catalysts and electrocatalysts for fuel cells.
5.Catalytic reactions that convert wastes into useful products.
6.Clean manufacturing techniques that replace toxic chemicals with environmentally friendly catalysts.
7.Scientific aspects of photocatalytic processes and a basic understanding of photocatalysts as applied to environmental problems.
8.New catalytic combustion technologies and catalysts.
9.New catalytic non-enzymatic transformations of biomass components.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in API Abstracts, Research Alert, Chemical Abstracts, Web of Science, Theoretical Chemical Engineering Abstracts, Engineering, Technology & Applied Sciences, and others.
