Abstract
Cobalt-based catalysts are the most promising catalysts for the catalytic oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Metal doping is considered to be a valuable strategy to improve the catalytic activity of metal oxide catalysts. Here, a small amount of Sm doped SmyCoOx spinel oxides with walnut-like shape were successfully prepared by solvothermal method and applied for oxidation of toluene and o-xylene. Their physiochemical properties were studied by various characterization, DFT calculation and in situ DRIFIS tests. Sm0.09CoOx substituted by Sm at six-coordination cobalt shows the best oxidation ability on toluene (T90 = 228 °C) and o-xylene (T90 = 268 °C). This is because doping Sm in Co3O4 causes the lattice distortion, and generates Sm-O-Co bonds to weaken the bond energy of Co-O bonds, thus inducing the generation of active oxygen by improving the mobility of lattice oxygen. These results are of great significance for constructing metal–oxygen bonds through metal-doped cobalt oxide catalysts to improve catalytic performance.
期刊介绍:
Separation and Purification Technology is a premier journal committed to sharing innovative methods for separation and purification in chemical and environmental engineering, encompassing both homogeneous solutions and heterogeneous mixtures. Our scope includes the separation and/or purification of liquids, vapors, and gases, as well as carbon capture and separation techniques. However, it's important to note that methods solely intended for analytical purposes are not within the scope of the journal. Additionally, disciplines such as soil science, polymer science, and metallurgy fall outside the purview of Separation and Purification Technology. Join us in advancing the field of separation and purification methods for sustainable solutions in chemical and environmental engineering.
