Different MCM-41 samples containing framework iron were prepared and tested in CO oxidation showing unprecedented high activities after reduction in hydrogen above 773 K.
Ti-based electroconductive mixed oxides were deposited onto activated carbon by using three different sol-gel-based multistep synthesis routes. As demonstrated by X-ray diffraction, high crystallinity of the tungsten-loaded rutile was achieved by a sequence of annealing in inert atmosphere at 750°C and a short reductive treatment at 650°C.Formation of the rutile phase on the carbon support before the high temperature treatment has been proved to be the prerequisite for complete W incorporation into the rutile lattice. The structural and compositional properties of the mixed oxides were explored by transmission electron microscopy, temperature programmed reduction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Anode electrocatalysts were formulated by loading the composite of the activated carbon and the Ti-based electroconductive mixed oxides with 40 wt% Pt. Enhanced CO tolerance along with considerable stability was demonstrated for the electrocatalyst prepared using the Ti 0.7 W 0.3 O 2 -C composite material with high degree of W incorporation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
