In this paper, the nature of copper species of a series of alumina-supported copper samples was investigated by the kinetics of reduction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, temperature-programmed desorption-mass spectrometry of chemisorbed NO and infrared spectroscopic analysis of CO and CO probes.
Abstract
The nature of copper species of a series of alumina-supported copper samples was investigated by the kinetics of reduction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, temperature-programmed desorption-mass spectrometry of chemisorbed NO and infrared spectroscopy of chemisorbed NO and CO probes. The role of these copper species was also examined in the catalytic decomposition of NO. The surface properties of copper were found to depend strongly on both Cu loading and calcination treatment

Partial oxidation of methanol to produce hydrogen over CuZn-based catalysts

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the effect of the copper surface area on the catalytic performance of methanol and showed that the performance of the CuZnO and ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts is directly related to the surface area.

Nature of Copper Active Sites in the Carbon Monoxide Oxidation on CuAl2O4and CuCr2O4Spinel Type Catalysts

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used ammonium carbonate and nitric acid washing solutions to extract uncombined copper oxide and showed that ammonium-carbonate was only effective for removing dispersed CuO, whereas nitric acids removed both dispersed and crystalline CuO. The results indicated that the active sites are copper species derived from CuAl2O4 and CuCr2O 4 spinels rather than from CuO and indicated that Cu species in tetrahedral coordination lead to higher activity.

Copper(II) ion-exchanged ZSM-5 zeolites as highly active catalysts for direct and continuous decomposition of nitrogen monoxide

TL;DR: In this article, ZSM-5 zeolites containing Cu2+ ions showed unusually high and steady state activity for the catalytic decomposition of nitrogen monoxide; for example, the degrees of conversions of NO, and of conversion into N2 and O2 were 97, 85, and 70%, respectively, at 823 K with a contact time of 10.0 g s cm−3 over 73% exchanged Cu-ZSM−5.
