Journal ArticleDOI
Single-Atom Alloy Pd–Ag Catalyst for Selective Hydrogenation of Acrolein
Payoli Aich,Haojuan Wei,Bridget Basan,A. Jeremy Kropf,Neil M. Schweitzer,Christopher L. Marshall,Jeffrey T. Miller,Jeffrey T. Miller,Randall J. Meyer +8 more
TL;DR: Pd-Ag alloy catalysts with very dilute amounts of Pd were synthesized in this paper, and the activity for the hydrogenation of acrolein was improved by the presence of these isolated Pd atoms due to the creation of sites with lower activation energy for H2 dissociation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective hydrogenation of acrolein on supported silver catalysts: A kinetics study of particle size effects
Haojuan Wei,Carolina Gomez,Jingjing Liu,Neng Guo,Tianpin Wu,Rodrigo J. Lobo-Lapidus,Christopher L. Marshall,Jeffrey T. Miller,Randall J. Meyer +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a series of silica-supported silver catalysts with various particle sizes (1-9nm) were determined by EXAFS and confirmed by TEM as well, and the results suggest that the orientation of acrolein on flat surfaces with high coverage is desirable for high selectivity and high activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Comparative Density Functional Theory Study of Water Gas Shift Over PdZn(111) and NiZn(111)
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore NiZn as a potentially cheaper alternative to PdZn for low temperature water gas shift (WGS) catalysts due to their similar reactivity but higher thermal stability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct Synthesis of Bimetallic Pd3Ag Nanoalloys from Bulk Pd3Ag Alloy
Chi-Kai Lin,Chi-Kai Lin,Yan-Gu Lin,Tianpin Wu,Heather M. Barkholtz,Qiyin Lin,Haojuan Wei,Dale Brewe,Jeffrey T. Miller,Di-Jia Liu,Yang Ren,Yasuo Ito,Tao Xu +12 more
TL;DR: The synthesized Pd(3)Ag nanoparticles exhibited excellent catalytic activity toward hydrogenation of acrolein to propanal and inherited similar atomic ratio and alloy structure as the starting material.
Dissertation
Selective Hydrogenation of Acrolein over Supported Silver and Silver Alloy Catalysts
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate multiple critical properties of catalysts which can affect the activity and selectivity greatly in heterogeneous catalysis, including particle size, support, and alloy effects.
