调控Ni/TiO2载体晶相结构实现高活性光热干重整制合成气OA北大核心CSTPCD

Ni/TiO2 catalyst is widely employed for photo-driven DRM reaction while the influence of crystal structure of TiO2 remains unclear.In this work,the rutile/anatase ratio in supports was successfully controlled by varying the calcination temperature of anatase-TiO2.Structural characterizations revealed that a distinct TiOx coating on the Ni nanoparticles(NPs)was evident for Ni/TiO2-700 catalyst due to strong metal-support interaction.It is observed that the TiOx overlayer gradually disappeared as the ratio of rutile/anatase increased,thereby enhancing the exposure of Ni active sites.The exposed Ni sites enhanced visible light absorption and boosted the dissociation capability of CH4,which led to the much elevated catalytic activity for Ni/TiO2-950 in which rutile dominated.Therefore,the catalytic activity of solar-driven DRM reaction was significantly influenced by the rutile/anatase ratio.Ni/TiO2-950,characterized by a predominant rutile phase,exhibited the highest DRM reactivity,with remarkable H2 and CO production rates reaching as high as 87.4 and 220.2 mmol/(g·h),respectively.These rates were approximately 257 and 130 times higher,respectively,compared to those obtained on Ni/TiO2-700 with anatase.This study suggests that the optimization of crystal structure of TiO2 support can effectively enhance the performance of photothermal DRM reaction.
