Abstract
This work focuses on the study of binary Al2O3-Y2O3-x and Al2O3-Ga2O3-x mixed oxides with varying Y2O3 or Ga2O3 nominal loading (x=25, 50) prepared by hydrothermal synthesis assisted by Triton X-100. The mixed oxides were used to prepare Ni-based (5 wt%) catalysts for the Water Gas Shift Reaction. The Al2O3 sample presented urchin-like hollow nanosphere morphology, which evolved to solid nanospheres with Y2O3 or Ga2O3 in the mixed oxides. The physicochemical characterization indicated good integration of the mixed oxides, especially on the low-content additive oxides. The theoretical results confirmed that Ga goes deeper into the alumina matrix than Y, partially explaining the XPS and HRTEM results in which the Ni dispersion was better in the Ni/AlGa-x samples. The FTIR in-situ measurements of the reaction allowed us to propose that the reaction occurs minimally through the carbonyl mechanism at low temperatures (<300 °C) and the formate mechanism at high temperatures (>300 °C).
期刊介绍:
Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects is a new journal devoted to all aspects of the synthesis and the properties of this new flourishing domain. The journal is devoted to novel architectures at the nano-level with an emphasis on new synthesis and characterization methods. The journal is focused on the objects rather than on their applications. However, the research for new applications of original nano-structures & nano-objects in various fields such as nano-electronics, energy conversion, catalysis, drug delivery and nano-medicine is also welcome. The scope of Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects involves: -Metal and alloy nanoparticles with complex nanostructures such as shape control, core-shell and dumbells -Oxide nanoparticles and nanostructures, with complex oxide/metal, oxide/surface and oxide /organic interfaces -Inorganic semi-conducting nanoparticles (quantum dots) with an emphasis on new phases, structures, shapes and complexity -Nanostructures involving molecular inorganic species such as nanoparticles of coordination compounds, molecular magnets, spin transition nanoparticles etc. or organic nano-objects, in particular for molecular electronics -Nanostructured materials such as nano-MOFs and nano-zeolites -Hetero-junctions between molecules and nano-objects, between different nano-objects & nanostructures or between nano-objects & nanostructures and surfaces -Methods of characterization specific of the nano size or adapted for the nano size such as X-ray and neutron scattering, light scattering, NMR, Raman, Plasmonics, near field microscopies, various TEM and SEM techniques, magnetic studies, etc .
