摘要:
A stabilized platinum nanoparticle has a core portion surrounded by a plurality of outer surfaces. The outer surfaces include terrace regions formed of platinum atoms, and edge and corner regions formed of atoms from a second metal. The stabilized nanoparticle may be formed by combining a platinum nanoparticle with a metal salt in a solution. Ions of the second metal react with platinum and replace platinum atoms on the nanoparticle. Platinum atoms from the edge and corner regions react with the second metal ions quicker than surface atoms from the terraces, due to a greater difference in electrode potential between the platinum atoms at the edge and corner regions, as compared to the second metal in the solution. The platinum nanoparticle may include surface defects, such as steps and kinks, which may also be replaced with atoms of the second metal. In an exemplary embodiment, the platinum nanoparticle is a cathode catalyst in an electro-chemical cell.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to ternary and/or quaternary catalyst alloys for a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). The catalyst has the composition (Pt1-xRux)yM′zM″1-y-z, where M′ is selected from the group consisting of W, Mo, Nb, and Ta; M″ is selected from the group consisting of V, Co, Ni, Mn, and Cu; x ranges from about 0 to about 1; y ranges from about 0.01 to about 0.99; and y+z is about equal to 1. The catalyst may be deposited onto a porous carrier, and the deposition method may include ion-beam sputtering. The onset voltages of the present compositions are lower than that of conventional Pt—Ru binary systems by approximately 0.355 volts, and thus provide enhanced catalytic activity.
摘要:
A catalyst formulation for an organic fuel cell includes a noble metal and an admetal. The catalyst formulation can include a noble metal and an admetal in a heterogeneous mixture or a solid solution with up to about 90% degree of alloying. The admetal can encourage the oxidation of catalyst poisons at room temperature and therefore reduces the exhaustion of the fuel cell.

摘要:
A method of treating a gaseous stream containing one or more volatile nitrogen-containing organic compounds which comprises contacting the gaseous stream and an oxidizing agent with a catalyst at relatively low temperatures to cause oxidation of the volatile nitrogen-containing organic compounds. The catalyst employed promotes the oxidation reaction to selectively produce N.sub.2 O, N.sub.2, CO.sub.2 and H.sub.2 O without generating significant amounts of NO.sub.x to permit the reaction products to be vented directly into the atmosphere. The catalyst includes a selected amount of a noble or base metal deposited on a catalyst support comprising titania or zirconia. One or more of the elements molybdenum, tungsten or vanadium are added as promoters to the composition which minimizes the generation of NO.sub.x among the reaction products. Lanthanum may be added to provide better thermal stability and increase the selectivity for producing N.sub.2 among the reaction products. The process is effective when the gas stream also includes other non-nitrogen-containing organic compounds or NO.sub.x mixed with the nitrogen containing compound being treated without generating significant amounts of NO.sub.x in the reaction products.
摘要:
A process for simultaneously reducing the amounts of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine in the exhaust gas from gasoline or diesel engines with high amounts of oxygen in the exhaust gas is disclosed. A high reductive effect towards nitrogen oxides is enabled by using a homogeneous aluminum silicate as a high surface area support material for the catalytically active components.
摘要:
The invention relates to catalysts for the catalytic post-combustion of exhaust gases containing carbon monoxide and/or oxidizable organic compounds and processes for their production. The catalysts contain 70 to 99% wt., calculated as TiO.sub.2, of a titanium oxide component, 1 to 30% wt., calculated as V.sub.2 O.sub.5 of a vanadium oxide component and 0.01 to 0.9% wt., calculated as noble metal, of a noble metal component from one or more nobel metal compounds of nobel metals of the 8th sub-group. The catalysts are characterized by a low starting (.ltoreq.220.degree. CC.) and operating temperature and their ability to oxidize even slight pollution of the exhaust gas with oxygen-containing or free aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide in the presence of gases containing molecular oxygen almost quantitatively to the substantially ecologically acceptable products carbon dioxide and water.
