Bifunctional porous non-noble metal phosphide catalyst for overall water splitting and methods of making and using same

Patent Ren, Zhifeng; Yu, Fang; Zhou, Haiqing; ...

A method of electrocatalytic water splitting by providing an anode and a cathode; and utilizing the anode and the cathode for alkaline water electrolysis. Each of the anode and the cathode comprises a uniform distribution of a bifunctional electrocatalyst comprising metallic phosphides on a conductive substrate. The metallic phosphides comprise arion phosphide (FeP) and dinickel phosphide (Ni₂P). The bifunctional electrocatalyst promotes hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at the cathode, and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at the anode.

Subnanometer and nanometer catalysts, method for preparing size-selected catalysts

Patent Vajda, Stefan [Lisle, IL]; Pellin, Michael J [Naperville, IL]; Elam, Jeffrey W [Elmhurst, IL]; ...

Highly uniform cluster based nanocatalysts supported on technologically relevant supports were synthesized for reactions of top industrial relevance. The Pt-cluster based catalysts outperformed the very best reported ODHP catalyst in both activity (by up to two orders of magnitude higher turn-over frequencies) and in selectivity. The results clearly demonstrate that highly dispersed ultra-small Pt clusters precisely localized on high-surface area supports can lead to affordable new catalysts for highly efficient and economic propene production, including considerably simplified separation of the final product. The combined GISAXS-mass spectrometry provides an excellent tool to monitor the evolution of size and shape of nanocatalystmore » « less

Catalysts having catalytic material applied directly to thermally-grown alumina and catalytic methods using same; improved methods of oxidative dehydrogenation

Patent Long, Richard; Watson, Junko M.; Daly, Francis P.; ...

The invention describes catalysts, methods of making catalysts, methods of making a microchannel reactor, and methods of conducting chemical reactions. It has been discovered that superior performance can be obtained from a catalyst formed by directly depositing a catalytic material onto a (low surface area) thermally-grown alumina layer. Improved methods of conducting oxidative dehydrogenations are also described.
