Abstract
Photocatalytic oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane to ethylene with a high selectivity is an attractive reaction. In this study, different types of heterojunctions between Pd/TiO2 and a second metal oxide semiconductor were designed and synthesized to realize high activity conversion of C2H6 to C2H4. Pd/TiO2-AgO heterojunction was proved with best reaction performance. The addition of AgO facilitated the activation of reactant molecules. It enhanced directional transfer of electron-hole pairs and separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers. Pd/TiO2-5 % AgO heterojunction was proved with the best separation ability of photogenerated carriers and the largest number of surface hydroxyl groups. Detailed charge transfer path and reaction mechanism were proposed and discussed.
期刊介绍:
Catalysis Today focuses on the rapid publication of original invited papers devoted to currently important topics in catalysis and related subjects. The journal only publishes special issues (Proposing a Catalysis Today Special Issue), each of which is supervised by Guest Editors who recruit individual papers and oversee the peer review process. Catalysis Today offers researchers in the field of catalysis in-depth overviews of topical issues.
Both fundamental and applied aspects of catalysis are covered. Subjects such as catalysis of immobilized organometallic and biocatalytic systems are welcome. Subjects related to catalysis such as experimental techniques, adsorption, process technology, synthesis, in situ characterization, computational, theoretical modeling, imaging and others are included if there is a clear relationship to catalysis.
