A high-performance Pt/β-SiC catalyst for catalytic combustion of model carbon particles (CPs)

Silicon Carbide: Synthesis and Properties

“…In both steps in the previous work the pH was bellow 7 and subsequently decreased with increasing OA content. Given the fact that SiC, is a refractory material which shows a high thermal conductivity, and because of its properties of particle strength and attrition resistance, mesoporous SiC is expected to have extensive application in harsh environments such as catalyst, sorbent or membrane support (Methivier et al, 1998;Keller et al, 1999;Pesant et al, 2004). Nevertheless, SiC applications as catalyst carrier was limited due to the fact that the specific surface area reachable for this material was rather low.…”

SiC nanomaterials with different morphologies for photocatalytic hydrogen production under visible light irradiation

“…Furthermore, higher surface roughness can produce more steps and sharp edges in the surface of photocatalysts, and thereby more dangling bonds, which usually result in higher photocatalytic activity. In consideration of the very low specific surface area of commercial SiC powders (<1 m 2 /g) [19,20], nanostructured SiC materials with high specific surface area or particular morphology are expected to have high photocatalytic activity for splitting water. In this work, whiskery, worm-like and particulate SiC samples were employed as the photocatalysts for splitting pure water to produce hydrogen under visible light irradiation.…”

On the Use of Silicon Nitride in Catalysis

“…Studies on SiC [5,12,23,24,[31][32][33][34][35][36], BN [22,[37][38][39][40] and AlN [41][42][43][44] provide examples.…”
