In our study, we developed a Pd/CeO 2 catalyst by enhancing the oxygen vacancy (O V ) concentration in CeO 2 through high-temperature treatment. This process led to the formation of an interface structure ideal for supporting the hydrogenation of methyl oleate to methyl stearate. Specifically, metal Pd 0 atoms bonded to the O V in defective CeO 2 formed Pd 0 –O V –Ce 3+ interfacial sites, enabling strong electron transfer from CeO 2 to Pd. The interfacial sites exhibit a synergistic adsorption effect on the reaction substrate. Pd 0 sites promote the adsorption and activation of C=C bonds, while O V preferably adsorbs C=O bonds, mitigating competition with C=C bonds for Pd 0 adsorption sites. This synergy ensures rapid C=C bond activation and accelerates the attack of active H* species on the semi-hydrogenated intermediate. As a result, our Pd/CeO 2 -500 catalyst, enriched with Pd 0 –O V –Ce 3+ interfacial sites, demonstrated excellent hydrogenation activity at just 30 °C. The catalyst achieved a Cis–C18:1 conversion rate of 99.8% and a methyl stearate formation rate of 5.7 mol/(h·g metal ). This work revealed the interfacial sites for enhanced hydrogenation reactions and provided ideas for designing highly active hydrogenation catalysts.","PeriodicalId":23296,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of Tianjin University","volume":"30 4","pages":"359-368"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12209-024-00404-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147899180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cell with configuration of Ni-BZCYYb/BZCYYb/BFZY3 demonstrated promising performance in dual modes of fuel cells (FCs) and electrolysis cells (ECs) at 650 °C with low polarization resistance of 0.13 Ω cm 2 , peak power density of 546.59 mW/cm 2 in FC mode, and current density of − 1.03 A/cm 2 at 1.3 V in EC mode. The alternative operation between FC and EC modes for up to eight cycles with a total of 80 h suggests that the cell with BFZY3 is exceptionally stable and reversible over the long term. The results indicated that BFZY3 has considerable potential as an air electrode material for R-PCECs, permitting efficient oxygen reduction and water splitting.","PeriodicalId":23296,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of Tianjin University","volume":"29 6","pages":"444-452"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12209-023-00370-1.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147907109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
