A process is provided for the production of a catalytically active carbonaceous char. By this process, a nitrogen-containing compound is combined with an uncarbonized nitrogen-poor carbon-containing material. The resulting mixture is then carbonized and oxidized at temperatures less than 500° C. The resulting char is next heated to temperatures greater than 500° C and subsequently activated with H2O, CO2, or O2, singly or in any combination, to result in the catalytically active carbonaceous char. The resulting catalytically active carbonaceous char has utility for the chemical conversion of peroxides, hydrides, SOX, NOX, and chloramines in liquid and/or gaseous media.

A supported catalyst composition comprising a metal catalyst nanodispersed in a support that is a hard disordered carbon or carbon glass; or a partially graphitized or disordered carbon intercalation complex; or nullhouse-of-cardsnull transition metal dichalcogenide such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). Also disclosed are embodiments based on the above supported catalyst compositions, wherein the metal catalyst is Pt or Pt alloy, and wherein the nullporesnull comprised in the support are engineered to provide selective access to H2, but not to larger molecules, such as CO or H2O. Disclosed are methods for improving catalyst utilization, resistance to poisoning, and resistance of catalyst supports to corrosion-as well as products related thereto. Also disclosed is an MEA that comprises the supported, nanodispersed Pt and Pt alloy catalyst compositions of this invention, and a fuel cell that contains such an MEA.
摘要:
A process is provided for the manufacture of a carbonaceous char capable of catalyzing the rapid decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solutions. This carbonaceous char is produced from a bituminous coal or a bituminous material that has been carbonized and extensively oxidized at low (less than 700° C.) temperatures. The resultant carbonized and oxidized bituminous coal or bituminous material is then contacted with a nitrogen-containing compound in combination with at least one of sucrose or fructose as the temperature of the low-temperature char is increased to greater than 700° C. This treatment results in a high-temperature char which may then be activated as desired. These activated chars show the aforementioned ability to rapidly decompose aqueous solutions of hydrogen peroxide and are also useful for the catalytic decomposition of H2S, SOx, NOx, chloramines, and/or peroxides in liquid and/or gaseous streams.
