Abstract
Metal oxide catalysts like ceria-supported vanadia (VOx/Ce1-xZrxO2) with different Zr contents were prepared by coupling ceria-zirconia solid solution and vanadia. Characterization revealed that the insertion of zirconia into ceria significantly improved catalytic activity due to the generation of more oxygen vacancies and distortion of the composite structure. The oxygen vacancy concentration initially increased with the increase of Zr (x= wt%) and peaked at x=0.7 and then decreased. The reliance of oxygen vacancy concentration in VOx/Ce1-xZrxO2 catalyst on their catalytic activity in methanol oxydehydrogenation was further investigated. Results indicated that oxygen vacancies not only activated oxygen species but also cleaved C–H bonds alongside V5+ active site contained terminal oxygen atoms for cleaving O–H and C–H bonds within the adsorbed methanol. The VOx/Ce0.3Zr0.7O2 exhibited the best catalytic activity with the methanol conversion of 76 % and the dimethoxymethane selectivity of 96 % at 200 ℃ and atmospheric pressure in a fixed-bed reactor.
期刊介绍:
Applied Catalysis A: General publishes original papers on all aspects of catalysis of basic and practical interest to chemical scientists in both industrial and academic fields, with an emphasis onnew understanding of catalysts and catalytic reactions, new catalytic materials, new techniques, and new processes, especially those that have potential practical implications.
Papers that report results of a thorough study or optimization of systems or processes that are well understood, widely studied, or minor variations of known ones are discouraged. Authors should include statements in a separate section "Justification for Publication" of how the manuscript fits the scope of the journal in the cover letter to the editors. Submissions without such justification will be rejected without review.
