    Correlation between Cu ion migration behaviour and deNO x activity in Cu-SSZ-13 for the standard NH 3 -SCR reaction

    Here we present the results of a synchrotron-based in situ, time-resolved PXRD study during activation of two Cu-SSZ-13 catalysts under O2/He and one during standard NH3-SCR reaction conditions to obtain insight into the behaviour of Cu ions. The results obtained indicate that deNOx activity is inexorably linked with occupancy of the zeolite 6r

    Operando Spectroscopic Studies of Cu–SSZ-13 for NH3–SCR deNOx Investigates the Role of NH3 in Observed Cu(II) Reduction at High NO Conversions

    The small pore zeolite chabazite (SSZ-13) in the copper exchanged form is a very efficient material for the selective catalytic reduction by ammonia (NH 3 ) of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from the exhaust of lean burn engines, typically diesel powered vehicles. The full mechanism occurring during the NH 3 –SCR process is currently debated with outstanding questions including the nature and role of the catalytically active sites. Time-resolved operando spectroscopic techniques have been used to provide new level of insights in to the mechanism of NH 3 –SCR, to show that the origin of stable Cu(I) species under SCR conditions is potentially caused by an interaction between NH 3 and the Cu cations located in eight ring sites of the bulk of the zeolite and is independent of the NH 3 –SCR of NOx occurring at Cu six ring sites within the zeolite

    Determination of the nature of the Cu coordination complexes formed in the presence of NO and NH3 within SSZ-13

    Ammonia-selective catalytic reduction (NH3-SCR) using Cu zeolites is a well-established strategy for the abatement of NOx gases. Recent studies have demonstrated that Cu is particularly active when exchanged into the SSZ-13 zeolite, and its location in either the 6r or 8r renders it an excellent model system for fundamental studies. In this work, we examine the interaction of NH3-SCR relevant gases (NO and NH3) with the Cu2+ centers within the SSZ-13 structure, coupling powder diffraction (PD), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAFS), and density functional theory (DFT). This combined approach revealed that, upon calcination, cooling and gas exposure Cu ions tend to locate in the 8r window. After NO introduction, Cu-ions are seen to coordinate to two framework oxygens and one NO molecule, resulting in a bent Cu-nitrosyl complex with a Cu-N-O bond angle of similar to 150 degrees. Whilst Cu seems to be partially reduced/changed in coordination state, NO is partially oxidized. On exposure to NH3 while the PD data suggest the Cu2+ ion occupies a similar position, simulation and XAFS pointed toward the formation of a Jahn-Teller distorted hexaamine complex [Cu(NH3)(6)](2+) in the center of the cha cage. These results have important implications in terms of uptake and storage of these reactive gases and potentially for the mechanisms involved in the NH3-SCR process

    Visualising Co nanoparticle aggregation and encapsulation in Co/TiO2 catalysts and its mitigation through surfactant residues

    Get PDF
    Due to the reducible nature of TiO2, the encapsulation of cobalt nanoparticles (CoNPs) by reduced TiO2-x is often reported to decrease their catalytic performance in reactions such as Fisher-Tropsch synthesis (FTS). Here, we show using HAADF-STEM imaging and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) that a residual C12E4 surfactant used to prepare the CoNPs, remains on the surface of a TiO2 rutile support, preventing the formation of Ti3+/Ti2+ oxides and therefore TiO2-x migration. Furthermore, the presence of these surfactant residues prevents the coalescence and aggregation of CoNPs during catalyst preparation, maintaining the dispersion of CoNPs. As such, using C12E4 in the preparation of Co/TiO2 can be considered beneficial for producing a catalyst with a greater number of active Co species

    Enhanced activity of desilicated Cu-SSZ-13 for the selective catalytic reduction of NOx and its comparison with steamed Cu-SSZ-13

    Mesoporous Cu-SSZ-13 was created by first synthesizing zeolite H-SSZ-13 and subsequently desilicating the material by base leaching using NaOH in different concentrations. The catalyst materials were prepared by ion exchanging the leached samples back to their acidic form using NH4NO3, and to their active Cu form by ion exchanging them with CuSO4. For comparison, H- and Cu-SSZ-13 were steamed using a wide variety of different conditions. Using a 0.10 M NaOH solution for base leaching, it was found that Cu-SSZ-13 becomes more active in the selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3 (NH3-SCR) over the entire temperature region but especially in the low temperature region (<200 °C). This increase could be explained by a decrease in pore diffusion limitations due to the introduction of mesopores on the outside of the zeolite crystals but keeping the chemical environment of the catalyst nearly the same as that of the parent material. Higher base leaching concentrations do, however, lead to a decrease in the amount of Brønsted acid sites, pore volume and accessible surface area, accompanied by a decrease in NH3-SCR activity. Ar physisorption coupled with SEM and confocal fluorescence microscopy in combination with two differently sized fluorescent organic probe molecules (i.e., 4-(4-dimethyl-aminostyryl)-1-methyl-pyridinium-iodide and 4-(4-dicyclohexyl-aminostyryl)-1-methyl-pyridinium-iodide) show an increase in the external surface area due to the creation of mesopores. The development of mesoporosity starts from the crystal surface and continues into the crystal with increasing alkaline solution strength, but under our conditions it never reaches the center. On the other hand, zeolite steaming did not successfully introduce mesoporosity and mainly managed to deactivate the Cu-SSZ-13 zeolite catalysts
