Abstract:
(Ce,Zr,La)O2 (CZL) mixed oxide-supported rhodium (Rh) catalysts were prepared by in situ synthesis method. Characterizations were adopted to investigate the relation of structure and metal-support interaction with catalytic behavior of catalysts. The results demonstrate that appropriate Ce/Zr ratio (2/1~1/4) could help to form more homogenous CZL ternary solid solution and promote the formation of more oxygen vacancies and defects (the lattice defects resulting from lattice distortion) in CZL supports, and thereby enhance oxygen storage/release performance. Meanwhile, it strongly affects the interaction between RhOx and CZL supports, which promotes the formation of more active Rh species (Rh0 + Rh3+) and the reduction of the oxygen species in Rh-Ce interface, leading to the enhancement of catalytic performance for HC, CO, and NOx eliminations. Rh/CZL-12 shows the best catalytic activity for HC and NOx eliminations. It could be attributed to the enhanced activation and oxygen mobility of lattice oxygen, which is verified by the results of DOSC measurement.

02:17Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
