Iridium-tin mixed oxide anode coatings

Abstract: Mixed oxide coatings of tin and iridium oxide on titanium substrates have been studied over the composition range of 5 to 100 mol % iridium oxide. While stannic oxide behaves as a simple diluent for the electrocatalytically active precious metal oxide, substantial replacement of iridium by tin may be made with little degradation of coating performance in oxygen evolution.

Structure and Catalytic Properties of Ceria-based Nickel Catalysts for CO2 Reforming of Methane

Abstract: Carbon dioxide reforming (CDR) of methane to synthesis gas over supported nickel catalysts has been reviewed. The present review mainly focuses on the advantage of ceria based nickel catalysts for the CDR of methane. Nickel catalysts supported on ceria–zirconia showed the highest activity for CDR than nickel supported on other oxides such as zirconia, ceria and alumina. The addition of zirconia to ceria enhances the catalytic activity as well as the catalyst stability. The catalytic performance also depends on the crystal structure of Ni–Ce–ZrO2. For example, nickel catalysts co-precipitated with Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 having cubic phase gave synthesis gas with CH4 conversion more than 97% at 800 °C and the activity was maintained for 100 h during the reaction. On the contrary, Ni–Ce–ZrO2 having tetragonal phase (Ce0.8Zr0.2O2) or mixed oxide phase (Ce0.5Zr0.5O2) deactivated during the reaction due to carbon formation. The enhanced catalytic performance of co-precipitated catalyst is attributed to a combination effect of nano-crystalline nature of cubic Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 support and the finely dispersed nano size NiO x crystallites, resulting in the intimate contact between Ni and Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 particles. The Ni/Ce–ZrO2/θ–Al2O3 also exhibited high catalytic activity during CDR with a synthesis gas conversion more than 97% at 800 °C without significant deactivation for more than 40 h. The high stability of the catalyst is mainly ascribed to the beneficial pre-coating of Ce–ZrO2 resulting in the existence of stable NiO x species, a strong interaction between Ni and the support, and an abundance of mobile oxygen species in itself. TPR results further confirmed that NiO x formation was more favorable than NiO or NiAl2O4 formation and further results suggested the existence of strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) between Ni and the support. Some of the important factors to optimize the CDR of methane such as reaction temperature, space velocity, feed CO2/CH4 ratio and H2O and/or O2 addition were also examined.

A Tin–Tungsten Mixed Oxide as an Efficient Heterogeneous Catalyst for C ? C Bond‐Forming Reactions

Abstract: The tin-tungsten mixed oxide prepared by the calcination of the tin-tungsten hydroxide precursor with a Sn/W molar ratio of 2 at 800 degrees C (SnW2-800) acts as an effective and reusable solid catalyst for C-C bond-forming reactions, such as the cyclization of citronellal, the Diels-Alder reaction, and the cyanosilylation of carbonyl compounds with trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN). Various kinds of structurally diverse aliphatic, aromatic, and unsaturated, heteroatom-containing substrates could be converted into the desired products in high to excellent yields. The observed catalyses for these reactions were truly heterogeneous and the recovered catalyst could be reused several times without an appreciable loss of its high catalytic performance. The Bronsted acid sites generated on the aggregated polytungstate species on SnW2-800 likely play an important role in the C-C bond-forming reactions.
