Abstract

Here, ruthenium (Ru) catalysts supported on CeO₂ nanorods (NR), nanocubes (NC), and nanoctahedra (NO) were comparatively investigated to correlate the shape and exposed surface planes ({100}, {110}, and {111}) of nanoscale CeO₂ supports with their low-temperature CO oxidation activity. Within the 5Ru/CeO₂-r catalysts with three morphologies after reduction treatment, the Ru supported on CeO₂ NR exhibited enhanced low-temperature (<100 °C) hydrogen consumption and superior room-temperature CO oxidation activity (~9% CO conversion). Both X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements revealed that Run+ homogeneously predominates the 5Ru/CeO₂NR-r, which is very different from partial metallic Ru⁰ supported on CeO₂ NC and NO, indicating the strong metal–support interaction formation between Ru and CeO₂ NR by Ru ions diffusing into CeO₂ surface lattice or forming Ru–O–Ce bonds at the interface. The enriched surface defects on the exposed {111} planes of CeO₂ NR support are believed to be the key to the formation of cationic Ru species, which is of vital importance for the superior room-temperature CO oxidation activity of the 5Ru/CeO₂NR-r catalyst. The higher surface oxygen vacancy concentration on 5Ru/CeO₂NR-r than those on the CeO₂ NC and NO is also crucial for adsorption/dissociation of oxygen in achieving low-temperature CO oxidation activity.

Surface-structure sensitivity of CeO₂ nanocrystals in photocatalysis and enhancing the reactivity with nanogold

Journal Article Lei, Wanying ; Zhang, Tingting ; Gu, Lin ; ... - ACS Catalysis

Structure–function correlations are a central theme in heterogeneous (photo)catalysis. In this research, using aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), the atomic surface structures of well-defined one-dimensional (1D) CeO₂ nanorods (NRs) and 3D nanocubes (NCs) are directly visualized at subangstrom resolution. CeO₂ NCs predominantly expose the {100} facet, with {110} and {111} as minor cutoff facets at the respective edges and corners. Notably, the outermost surface layer of the {100} facet is nearly O-terminated. Neither surface relaxations nor reconstructions on {100} are observed, indicating unusual polarity compensation, which is primarily mediated by near-surface oxygen vacancies. The surface of CeO₂ NRs ismore »« less

Growth, sintering, and chemical states of Co supported on reducible CeO₂(111) thin films: The effects of the metal coverage and the nature of the support

Journal Article Zhou, Jing ; Du, Linze ; Braedt, Daniel L. ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

The growth, sintering, and interaction of cobalt with ceria were studied under ultrahigh vacuum conditions by vapor-deposition of Co onto well-defined CeOx(111) (1.5 < x < 2) thin films grown on Ru(0001). Charge transfer from Co to ceria occurs upon deposition of Co on CeO_1.96 and partially reduced CeO_1.83 at 300 K. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies show that Co is oxidized to Co²⁺ species at the cost of the reduction of Ce⁴⁺ to Ce³⁺, at a lesser extent on reduced ceria. Co²⁺ is the predominant species on CeO_1.96 at low Co coverages (e.g., ≤0.20 ML). The ratio of metallic Co/Co²⁺more »« less

The influence of nano-architectured CeOx supports in RhPd/CeO₂ for the catalytic ethanol steam reforming reaction

Journal Article Divins, N. J. ; Senanayake, S. D. ; Casanovas, A. ; ... - Catalysis Today

The ethanol steam reforming (ESR) reaction has been tested over RhPd supported on polycrystalline ceria in comparison to structured supports composed of nanoshaped CeO₂ cubes and CeO₂ rods tailored towards the production of hydrogen. At 650-700 K the hydrogen yield follows the trend RhPd/CeO₂-cubes > RhPd/CeO₂ -rods > RhPd/CeO₂- polycrystalline, whereas at temperatures higher than 800 K the catalytic performance of all samples is similar and close to the thermodynamic equilibrium. The improved performance of RhPd/CeO₂-cubes and RhPd/CeO₂ -rods for ESR at low temperature is mainly ascribed to higher water-gas shift activity and a strong interaction between the bimetallic -more »« less

Infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy and temperature-programmed desorption studies of CO adsorption on Ni/CeO₂(111) thin films: The role of the ceria support

Journal Article Peterson, Erik W. ; Wang, Huanru ; Liu, Zongyuan ; ... - Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology A

Ceria-supported Ni has shown unique catalytic activity due to unique properties of small Ni particles and strong metal-support interaction. Identification of adsorption sites and understanding the chemical interaction over Ni-ceria at the fundamental level provide crucial insights into the reaction pathways of complex catalytic processes. In this study, to probe the surface sites, the adsorption of CO was carried out with model Ni/ceria systems consisting of Ni nanoparticles vapor-deposited on well-ordered CeO_x(111) (1.5 < x < 2) thin films using infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS) and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) conditions.

Metal–Support Interactions and C1 Chemistry: Transforming Pt-CeO ₂ into a Highly Active and Stable Catalyst for the Conversion of Carbon Dioxide and Methane

Journal Article Zhang, Feng ; Gutiérrez, Ramón A. ; Lustemberg, Pablo G. ; ... - ACS Catalysis

There is an ongoing search for materials which can accomplish the activation of two dangerous greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane. In the area of C1 chemistry, the reaction between CO₂ and CH₄ to produce syngas (CO/H₂), known as methane dry reforming (MDR), is attracting a lot of interest due to its green nature. On Pt(111), high temperatures must be used to activate the reactants, leading to a substantial deposition of carbon which makes this metal surface useless for the MDR process. In this study, we show that strong metal-support interactions present in Pt/CeO₂(111) and Pt/CeO₂ powders lead tomore »« less
