Platinum-based supported catalysts for hydrocarbon conversion are among the most effective for selective dehydrogenation and isomerization processes. However, high process temperatures and the possibility of coke formation require catalyst modifications to mitigate such effects. One of the emerging approaches to prevent platinum catalyst deactivation is the use of boron additives that have been proposed to prevent coking. Despite such a valuable property of boron, the mechanisms for extending the catalyst lifetime and the decrease in coke formation based on this method are still poorly understood. The type and transformations of boron species on silica surface were investigated as a function of boron introduction, platinum addition, catalyst activation, and catalytic reactivity by a combination of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electron microscopy, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations to uncover the possible role of boron modification in improving the catalytic performance. Catalytic nonoxidative dehydrogenation of n-butane revealed that incorporation of boron improved the catalytic activity (similar to 3x) and stability of Pt/SiO2. The role of boron in enhancing catalytic performance was attributed to facilitating the migration of alkyl groups from platinum catalytic centers to tetrahedrally coordinated boron sites.

Role of chromium in Cr–Fe oxide catalysts for high temperature water-gas shift reaction – A DFT study Yalcin, Ozgen; Wachs, Israel E.; Önal, Işık (2021-05-13) Carcinogenic hexavalent Cr in the current iron oxide-based catalysts of high temperature water-gas shift (HT-WGS) reaction is great environmental concern. Interpreting the role of the Cr in this important industrial catalyst system is required. In the present study, we investigated substitution of Cr atoms into the most stable termination of Fe3O4 (111) slab surface by spin-polarized periodic DFT approach to comprehend the role of Cr. We applied the projector augmented-wave (PAW) method within the Perdew-Wa...
Influence of FEP nanoparticles in catalyst layer on water management and performance of PEM fuel cell with high Pt loading Avcioglu, Gokce S.; FIÇICILAR, BERKER; Eroğlu, İnci (2017-01-05) In this study, fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) nanoparticles were added to catalyst layer (CL) to facilitate excess water removal from the triple phase boundary in high Pt loading (1.2 mg/cm(2)) proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) electrodes. The loading of PEP in the catalyst ink was varied from zero to 30 weight percentage. High-performance electrodes for anode and cathode were prepared by ultrasonic spray coating technique with a commercial catalyst containing 70 wt. % Pt on carbon. Different...
Effect of a thermal treatment on the activity of carbon-supported Pt, Pt+W and Pt+Mo electrocatalysts for methanol oxidation reactions Gokagac, G; Leger, JM; Hahn, F (2001-12-01) Previous studies on carbon supported Pt, Pt+W and Pt+Mo indicated that Pt+Mo was the most active electrocatalyst at low potentials and that Pt+W has similar properties as pure Pt in methanol oxidation. Those samples were thermally treated at 900 degreesC in a hydrogen gas atmosphere for 6 hours to observe the effect on metal particle sizes and on their distribution on carbon support. It was found that thermally treated Pt+Mo/XC-72 remains the most active catalyst at all potentials compared to the other heat...
Use of Seydisehir alumina as a support for Co oxidation catalysts Mbaraka, I; Üner, Deniz (2003-05-01) An Al2O3 sample obtained from Seydisehir Eti Aluminyum A.S was treated and characterized for its potential use as a catalyst support. Atomic absorption spectroscopy and flame photometry characterization revealed the presence of 95.52% Al2O3 , 4.44% Na2O, and 0.043% Fe2O3 in the original sample. Both gamma-Al2O3 and alpha-Al2O3 phases were identified in the crystalline structure by X-ray diffraction analysis. However, alpha-Al2O3 was found to be the phase in abundance. The BET surface area of the original sa...
Effect of silver encapsulation on the local structure of titanosilicate ETS-10 GALIOGLU, Sezin; ZAHMAKIRAN, Mehmet; Kalay, Yunus Eren; Özkar, Saim; Akata, Burcu (2012-09-01) Silver(0) nanoparticles stabilized by titanosilicate (ETS-10) framework were synthesized by following a simple two step procedure involving the incorporation of silver(I) (Ag+) ions into ETS-10 matrix via ion-exchange with extra framework Na+ and K+ cations followed by their reduction with sodium borohydride (NaBH4) in aqueous medium all at room temperature. Silver(0) nanoparticles dispersed in the ETS-10 matrix were collected as gray powders and characterized by using advanced analytical methods including ...
