            : From Vapor Phase Synthesis to Device Applications

In this article the synthesis, characterization and catalytic activity studies of zirconia based base catalysts such as Mg(II)/ZrO2, Ca(II)/ZrO2 and Ba(II)/ZrO2 coated on honeycomb monoliths is reported. Honeycomb monoliths were coated with Mg(II)/ZrO2, Ca(II)/ZrO2, Ba(II)/ZrO2 and characterized for their physico-chemical properties such as surface basicity, crystallinity and morphology by using relevant techniques. The catalytic activity of these catalytic materials was evaluated in vapor phase synthesis of glycerol carbonate. The reaction conditions were optimized by varying reaction parameters such as nature of catalytic material, molar ratio of the reactants, catalyst bed temperature, feed-rate of the reactants and time-on-stream to obtain highest possible yield of glycerol carbonate with greater selectivity. The catalytic materials were found to be highly efficient in the synthesis of glycerol carbonate with a possible highest yield up to ~98%. These catalytic materials can be easily reactivated and reused in this reaction.Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res.53(1), 21-28, 2018

High Temperature Vapor

Abstract In this work, we compare the CO oxidation performance of Pt single atom catalysts (SACs) prepared via two methods: (1) conventional wet chemical synthesis (strong electrostatic adsorption–SEA) with calcination at 350 °C in air; and (2) high temperature vapor phase synthesis (atom trapping–AT) with calcination in air at 800 °C leading to ionic Pt being trapped on the CeO2 in a thermally stable form. As-synthesized, both SACs are inactive for low temperature (<150 °C) CO oxidation. After treatment in CO at 275 °C, both catalysts show enhanced reactivity. Despite similar Pt metal particle size, the AT catalyst is significantly more active, with onset of CO oxidation near room temperature. A combination of near-ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (NAP-XPS) and CO temperature-programmed reduction (CO-TPR) shows that the high reactivity at low temperatures can be related to the improved reducibility of lattice oxygen on the CeO2 support.

Doped Titania

The role of aluminum as dopant in gas phase synthesis of titania powders was experimentally investigated in an aerosol flow reactor between 1300 and 1700 K. Titania was produced by vapor phase oxidation of titanium tetrachloride in the presence of dopant aluminum trichloride vapor. The presence of aluminum altered the particle morphology from polyhedral to irregular crystals. Energy dispersive analysis and transmission electron microscopy indicated that the powders were mixtures of crystalline titania and amorphous alumina. Analysis by XPS indicated significant enrichment of aluminum on the particle surface. Some aluminum titanate (up to 17% by volume) was formed at 1700 K when a high concentration of AlCl3 was used (AlCl3/TiCl4 ≥ 0.07). Measurements of lattice parameters by x-ray diffraction indicated that aluminum formed a solid solution in titania. While titania synthesized in the absence of aluminum was about 90% anatase, the introduction of aluminum resulted in pure rutile at AlCl3/TiCl4 = 0.07. The effects of aluminum on titania phase composition and morphology are explained by the creation of oxygen vacancies in the titania crystallites and by the enhancement of the sintring rate of titania grains.
