In this paper, the precise construction on the structure of silicalite-1 microcapsules (S1) was specifically described. The interior carbon modifications and the outside mesoporous functionalizations were successfully conducted and each sample was characterized in detail, It was found that the carbon networks could be formed inside the zeolite microcapsules via the pretreatment of sugar injections. The uniformity of the distinct microcapsule could be regulated by adjusting the sugar concentrations. With the encapsulated Pt species inside the MSSs, the nano-particles could be dispersed well within the carbon network. On the other hand, during the fabrication of the mesoporous materials outside the microcapsules, the template and the acidity of the system could play an important role in determining the morphology of S1. Besides, the PDDA modification on the shell of SI could help the combination of the meso-layer and the shell of S1 at nano-scale. The thickness of the outside mesopore could be modulated through the controlling of the silica content.
In order to investigate the influence of MnO2 modification methods on the catalytic performance of CuO/CeO2 catalyst for NO reduction by CO, two series of catalysts (xCuyMn/Ce and xCu/yMn/Ce) were prepared by co-impregnation and step- wise-impregnation methods, and characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectra, H2-temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR), in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectra (in situ DRIFTS) techniques. Furthermore, the cata- lytic performances of these catalysts were evaluated by NO+CO model reaction. The obtained results indicated that: (1) The catalysts acquired by co-impregnation method exhibited stronger interaction owing to the more sufficient contact among each component of the catalysts compared with the catalysts obtained by stepwise-impregnation method, which was beneficial to the improvement of the reduction behavior; (2) The excellent reduction behavior was conducive to the formation of low valence state copper species (Cu+/Cu0) and more oxygen vacancies (especially the surface synergetic oxygen vacancies (SSOV, Cu+-n-Mn(4-x)-)) during the reaction process, which were beneficial to the adsorption of CO species and the dissociation of NO species, respectively, and further promoted the en- hancement of the catalytic performance. Finally, in order to further understand the difference between the catalytic performances of these catalysts prepared by co-impregnation and stepwise-impregnation methods, a possible reaction mechanism (schematic diagram) was tentatively proposed.
Catalysis is one of the most cross-cutting technologies in the chemical industry, intensely influenc-ing our daily society. Its practical application is closely related to the engineering disciplines. At present, the academic and industrial research on catalysis in our country has made great break-throughs in fields like hydrocarbon production, oil-quality upgrading processes, green chemical engineering, and other energy and chemical users of catalysis. In this paper, we attempt to summa-rize the industrial catalysis achievements and present a discussion on the direction and the devel-opment strategy for catalysis, based on economic and social demands.
