An ultrafine MoC nanodot electrocatalyst with superior HER performance is obtained through an interlayer-confined strategy with a 2D-zeolite precursor.
Diffusion limitations may quick arise in small pore zeolite. Since each zeolite has its specific pore structure, much effort need to be put in meauring and understanding the mass transport phenomena in these systems. A 3-zone-column chromatographic model that includes the effects of system non-ideal behavior, the pressure drop of the packed bed, the particle size distribution, and nonlinear adsorption equilibrium for the measurement of diffusivities in nanopores was solved numerically in the time domain. A CHA/AEI intergrowth SAPO zeolite was successfully synthesized using hydrothermal method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), physisorption analyzer and Malvern Mastersizer etc. The diffusion behavior of propane in the CHA/AEI-SAPO zeolite was systematically studied to obtain diffusion coefficient. The apparent diffusivity at 100 degrees C is 3.1 ± 0.5 x 10(-16) m2/s and the activation energy is 35 ± 4 kJ/mol. This provides reliable data to obtain anticipated product selectivity by controlling the diffusion rates of specific gases in the nanopores.
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.
