Comparative (electro)catalytic, structural, and spectroscopic studies in hydrogen electro-oxidation, the (inverse) water-gas shift reaction, and methane conversion on two representative mixed ionic-electronic conducting perovskite-type materials La0.6Sr0.4FeO3-δ (LSF) and SrTi0.7Fe0.3O3-δ (STF) were performed with the aim of eventually correlating (electro)catalytic activity and associated stru...

in the present work, the electrooxidation of formic acid and formaldehyde; potentially important fuels for future fuel cells, was investigated on the fe3o4@pt core-shell nanoparticles/carbon-ceramic electrode (fe3o4@pt/cce). the fe3o4@pt nanoparticles were prepared via a simple and fast chemical method and their surface morphology, nanostructure properties, chemical composition, crystal phase, ...

The aim of the PROX reaction is to reduce the CO content of hydrogen feed to proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) by selective oxidation of CO in the presence of excess hydrogen. Both Pt and Pd on ceria are active in CO oxidation (without hydrogen) while Pd is poorly active in the presence of hydrogen. In this paper we aimed at finding the reasons of such behavior, using the same techniq...

Abstract Gas to liquid (GTL) process involves heterogeneous catalytic chemical reactions that convert synthesis gas to hydrocarbons and water vapor. A three phase reactor, called Low temperature Fischer-Tropsch (LTFT) is commonly applied for GTL process. In this reactor the gaseous phase includes the synthesis gas, light hydrocarbons and water vapor, the liquid phase is a mixture of the h...

Synthesis of adipic acid by catalytic oxidation of cyclohexanone with 30% hydrogen peroxide in the presence of sodium tungstate catalyst can be well performed under reflux temperature. The adipic acid isolated yield reaches to 82.1%, and the purity of the product is also very high. The catalytic oxidation reaction takes place without any organic solvent and phase-transfer agent. The effects ove...

Introduction Combustion in excess oxygen, as in dieseland lean-burn engines, significantly improves the fuel economy, i.e. reducing the CO2 emissions. However, the lean environment in the exhaust gas obstructs the NOx reduction ability of the three-way catalyst, thus emphasizing the need for alternative techniques, where one promising is selective catalytic reduction with hydrocarbons (HC-SCR)....
