A series of Pt/Sn/XZn/γ-Al2O3 nano-catalysts with different Zn content (X = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0 wt%) were prepared by a sequential impregnation method. They were applied to the direct dehydrogenation of n-butane to n-butene and 1,3-butadiene. The effect of zinc content of Pt/Sn/XZn/γ-Al2O3 nano-catalysts on their physicochemical properties and catalytic activities in the direct dehydrogenation of n-butane was investigated. The catalytic performance of Pt/Sn/XZn/γ-Al2O3 nano-catalysts strongly depended on zinc content. Among the catalysts tested, Pt/Sn/0.5Zn/γ-Al2O3 nano-catalyst showed the best catalytic performance in terms of yield for total dehydrogenation products (TDP, n-butene and 1,3-butadiene). TPR (temperature-programmed reduction) and H2-chemisorption experiments were carried out to measure metal-support interaction and Pt surface area of the catalysts. Experimental results revealed that metal-support interaction and Pt surface area of the catalysts were closely related to the catalytic performance. Yield for TDP increased with increasing metal-support interaction and Pt surface area of the catalysts.

Al2O3 supports were prepared by a precipitation method using various basic solutions (NaOH, KOH, NH4OH, and Na2CO3) as precipitation agents, and Pt/Sn/Al2O3 nano-catalysts were then prepared by a sequential impregnation method. The prepared catalysts were applied to the direct dehydrogenation of n-butane to n-butenes and 1,3-butadiene. The effect of precipitation agents on the physicochemical properties and catalytic activities of Pt/Sn/Al2O3 nano-catalysts in the direct dehydrogenation of n-butane was investigated. Catalytic performance of Pt/Sn/Al2O3 nanocatalysts decreased in order of Pt/Sn/Al2O3 (NaOH) > Pt/Sn/Al2O3 (KOH) > Pt/Sn/Al2O3 (NH4OH) > Pt/Sn/Al2O3 (Na2CO3). Among the catalysts tested, Pt/Sn/Al2O3 (NaOH) nano-catalyst showed the best catalytic performance in terms of yield for total dehydrogenation products (TDP, n-butenes and 1,3-butadiene). Hydrogen chemisorption experiments revealed that platinum surface area of the catalyst was closely related to the catalytic performance. Yield for TDP increased with increasing platinum surface area of the catalyst.

Zn2+-Modified MgAl-LDH with ultra-low Pd cluster loading was synthesized. The higher adsorption energy and strong covalent metal–support interaction via forming Pd–Zn bonds over Pd/ZnMgAl-LDH account for the robust catalytic performance.

Cu supported on acid-treated sepiolite catalysts (xCu/H-Sep, x = 0  20.0 wt%) or Cu-Fe mixed supported on acid-treated sepiolite catalysts (yFe-10Cu/H-Sep, y = 0  20.0 wt%) were prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation method. The xCu/H-Sep and yFe-10Cu/H-Sep catalysts were characterized by means of XRD, BET, XRF, XPS, and H2-TPR techniques, and their catalytic activities were evaluated for the SCR of NO with propylene. XPS and XRD results indicate that there was the co-presence of Cu+-Cu2+ and Fe2+-Fe3+ over the surfaces of yFe-10Cu/H-Sep catalysts, and there was a strong interaction between Cu, Fe and sepiolite. High promotional effect of iron additive on the catalytic performance of Cu/H-Sep catalyst were found in C3H6-SCR of NO reaction. The highest activity of 65% NO conversion was obtained over 15Fe-10Cu/H-Sep catalyst at 280 oC under the condition of 1000 ppm NO, 1000 ppm C3H6, and 5% O2. The high catalytic activity of 15Fe-10Cu/H-Sep catalyst for NO reduction was due to its high reducibility to activate C3H6 to selectively reduce NO in the presence of excess O2. The high dispersion of copper oxides and strong metal-support interaction over 15Fe-10Cu/H-Sep catalyst also improve its catalytic performance.

Plasma is an efficient method that can activate inert molecules such as methane and carbon dioxide in a mild environment to make them reactive. In this work, we have prepared an AE-NiO/γ-Al2O3 catalyst using an ammonia-evaporation method for plasma promoted dry reforming reaction of CO2 and CH4 at room temperature. According to the characterization data of XRD, H2-TPR, TEM, XPS, etc., the AE-NiO/γ-Al2O3 catalyst has higher dispersion, smaller particle size and stronger metal-support interaction than the catalyst prepared by the traditional impregnation method. In addition, the AE-NiO/γ-Al2O3 catalyst also exhibits higher activity in dry reforming reaction. This work provides a feasible reference experience for the research of plasma promoted dry reforming reaction catalysts at room temperature.

Steam reforming of glycerol to produce hydrogen is considered to be the very promising strategy to generate clean and renewable energy. The incipient-wetness impregnation method was used to load Ni on the reducible carrier TiO2 (P25). In the process of catalyst preparation, the interaction and electronic effect between metal Ni and support TiO2 were adjusted by changing the calcination temperature, and then the activity and hydrogen production of glycerol steam reforming reaction (GSR) was explored. A series of modern characterizations including XRD, UV-vis DRS, BET, XPS, NH3-TPD, H2-TPR, TG, and Raman have been applied to systematically characterize the catalysts. The characterization results showed that the calcination temperature can contribute to varying degrees of influences on the acidity and basicity of the Ni/TiO2 catalyst, the specific surface area, together with the interaction force between Ni and the support. When the Ni/TiO2 catalyst was calcined at 600 °C, the Ni species can be produced in the form of granular NiTiO3 spinel. Consequently, due to the moderate metal–support interaction and electronic activity formed between the Ni species and the reducible support TiO2 in the NiO/Ti-600C catalyst, the granular NiTiO3 spinel can be reduced to a smaller Ni0 at a lower temperature, and thus to exhibit the best catalytic performance.
