Water, which is an intrinsic part of the exhaust gas of combustion engines, strongly inhibits the methane oxidation reaction over palladium oxide-based catalysts under lean conditions and leads to severe catalyst deactivation. In this combined experimental and modeling work, we approach this challenge with kinetic measurements in flow reactors and a microkinetic model, respectively. We propose a mechanism that takes the instantaneous impact of water on the noble metal particles into account. The dual site microkinetic model is based on the mean-field approximation and consists of 39 reversible surface reactions among 23 surface species, 15 related to Pd-sites, and eight associated with the oxide. A variable number of available catalytically active sites is used to describe light-off activity tests as well as spatially resolved concentration profiles. The total oxidation of methane is studied at atmospheric pressure, with space velocities of 160,000 h−1 in the temperature range of 500–800 K for mixtures of methane in the presence of excess oxygen and up to 15% water, which are typical conditions occurring in the exhaust of lean-operated natural gas engines. The new approach presented is also of interest for modeling catalytic reactors showing a dynamic behavior of the catalytically active particles in general.

The Cs-promoted Ru nanocatalysts supported on mesoporous carbon materials (denoted as Cs-Ru/MPC) and microporous activated carbon materials (denoted as Cs-Ru/AC) were prepared for the sustainable synthesis of ammonia under mild reaction conditions (<500 °C, 1 MPa). Both Ru and Cs species were homogeneously impregnated into the mesostructures of three commercial available mesoporous carbon materials annealed at 1500, 1800 and 2100 °C (termed MPC-15, MPC-18 and MPC-21, respectively), resulting in a series of Cs-Ru/MPC catalysts with Ru loadings of 2.5–10 wt % and a fixed Cs loading of 33 wt %, corresponding to Cs/Ru molar ratios of 2.5–10. However, the Ru and Cs species are larger than the pore mouths of microporous activated carbon (shortly termed AC) and, as a consequence, were mostly aggregated on the outer surface of the Cs-Ru/AC catalysts. The Cs-Ru/MPC catalysts are superior to the Cs-Ru/AC catalyst in catalysing mild ammonia synthesis, especially for the 2.5Cs-10Ru/MPC-18 catalyst with a Ru loading of 10 wt % and a Cs/Ru ratio of 2.5, which exhibited the highest activity across a wide SV range. It also showed an excellent response and stability during cycling tests over a severe temperature jump in a short time, presumably due to the open mesoporous carbon framework and suitable surface concentrations of CsOH and metallic Ru species at the catalytically active sites. This 2.5Cs-10Ru/MPC-18 catalyst with high activity, fast responsibility and good stability has potential application in intermittently variable ammonia synthesis using CO2-free hydrogen derived from electrolysis of water using renewable energy with fast variability.

Owing to the large number of catalytically active sites and sufficient connections between CoS2 and a CNA, a CNA–CoS2 CE exhibited a higher electrocatalytic activity, and faster ion diffusion and electron transfer than a CNA CE.
