Photocatalytic Methane Conversion to C1 Oxygenates over Palladium and Oxygen Vacancies Co‐Decorated TiO ₂

Defective TiO2 with oxygen vacancies: synthesis, properties and photocatalytic applications.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2), as an important semiconductor metal oxide, has been widely investigated in the field of photocatalysis. The properties of TiO2, including its light absorption, charge transport and surface adsorption, are closely related to its defect disorder, which in turn plays a significant role in the photocatalytic performance of TiO2. Among all the defects identified in TiO2, oxy...

Non-oxidative conversion of methane to aromatics over modified zeolite catalysts by transitional metals

The activity of different transitional metals over modified H-ZSM-5 catalysts for methane conversion to aromatics was compared. The first group of catalysts was Mo-impregnated H-ZSM-5 zeolites with 1, 3 and 6 wt% of Mo. The second group was M(3 wt%)- impregnated H-ZSM-5 (M: Ag, Cd, Cr, Mo, Zn and Mn). The catalytic activity of the first group was investigated at 600, 700 and 800 °C and gas hour...

Bactericidal Activity of Photocatalytic TiO

Quinone tailored selective oxidation of methane over palladium catalyst with molecular oxygen as an oxidant.

With the in situ generated H(2)O(2) tailored by the addition of p-tetrachlorobenzoquinone, the product can be effectively steered towards either HCOOH or the methanol derivative CF(3)COOCH(3) during the direct oxidation of methane with molecular oxygen over palladium catalyst.

Oxygen vacancies as active sites for water dissociation on rutile TiO(2)(110).

Through an interplay between scanning tunneling microscopy experiments and density functional theory calculations, we determine unambiguously the active surface site responsible for the dissociation of water molecules adsorbed on rutile TiO(2)(110). Oxygen vacancies in the surface layer are shown to dissociate H(2)O through the transfer of one proton to a nearby oxygen atom, forming two hydroxy...
