Abstract
CO2 methanation at low temperatures is still a challenge. Herein, NinCeOx (n = 1–3) and Ni2.5Pd0.1CeOx nanofibers by electrospinning is reported. The main advantage of this method is to obtain the highly dispersed precursor of palladium, nickel, and cerium, overcoming the difficulty of uniform mixing in conventional preparation methods. The Ni2.5Pd0.1CeOx nanofiber catalyst exhibited outstanding catalytic performance at low temperatures (CO2 conversion rate = 90.4 %, CH4 selectivity = 99.6 % at 230 °C) along with exceptional stability over 300 h. EPR, Raman, and O 1s XPS confirmed that Pd2+ doping increased oxygen vacancy concentration. In-situ infrared spectroscopy indicated that CO2 methanation on Ni2.5CeOx and Ni2.5Pd0.1CeOx catalysts followed the formate pathways. Pd2+ doping increased the number of surface oxygen vacancies and hydroxyl groups, thus increasing the amount of bicarbonates and formates. DFT calculations suggested that Pd2+ doping increased CO2 adsorption energy, and confirmed surface hydroxyl groups and bicarbonate being beneficial for CO2 methanation, consequently enhancing the activity of Ni2.5Pd0.1CeOx catalyst especially at low temperatures.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Catalysis publishes scholarly articles on both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, covering a wide range of chemical transformations. These include various types of catalysis, such as those mediated by photons, plasmons, and electrons. The focus of the studies is to understand the relationship between catalytic function and the underlying chemical properties of surfaces and metal complexes.
The articles in the journal offer innovative concepts and explore the synthesis and kinetics of inorganic solids and homogeneous complexes. Furthermore, they discuss spectroscopic techniques for characterizing catalysts, investigate the interaction of probes and reacting species with catalysts, and employ theoretical methods.
The research presented in the journal should have direct relevance to the field of catalytic processes, addressing either fundamental aspects or applications of catalysis.
