Au–Pt/Co3O4 catalyst for methane combustion

Gold nanoparticles on metal oxide surfaces derived from n-alkanethiolate-stabilized gold nanoparticles; investigations of the adsorption mechanism and sulfate formation during subsequent thermolysis

“…They are also active cata- [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]22]. Studies were therefore undertaken to examine the catalytic ability of gold nanoparticles in the complete oxidation of the hydrocarbon isobutane when loaded onto the common support TiO 2 (both anatase and rutile) and an active oxidation catalyst, NiO, especially in the presence of adsorbed sulfate.…”

Nanocasting Synthesis of Mesostructured Co3O4 via a Supercritical CO2 Deposition Method and the Catalytic Performance for CO Oxidation

“…Cobalt oxide (Co 3 O 4 ) is a typical transition metal oxide and is widely used in catalytic oxidation reactions [5][6][7][8][9]. However, bulk Co 3 O 4 usually possesses a low surface area (*20 m 2 /g) which is unfavorable to its applications either as a catalyst or as a catalyst support.…”

Origin of the Ability of α‐Fe2O3 Mesopores to Activate C−H Bonds in Methane

“…Walther and co‐worker reported that traces of ethane were detected on Au/TiO 2 at 250 °C when the feed gas composed of CH 4 and O 2 was applied . In another report, it was documented that an Au–Pt/Co 3 O 4 catalyst can drive the combustion of methane at approximately 218 °C . To the best of our knowledge, up to now, over 2000 heterogeneous catalysts have been used to study the catalytic conversion of methane to more useful chemicals and fuels .…”

“…[14] In another report, it was documented that an Au-Pt/Co 3 O 4 catalystc an drive the combustion of methane at approximately 218 8C. [15] To the best of our knowledge,u pt onow,o ver 2000 heterogeneous catalysts have been used to studythe catalytic conversionofmethane to more useful chemicals and fuels. [16] Among these, the lowest temperature of methane conversion over catalysts containinganoble metal is around 130 8C, [17,18] whereas that of over non-preciousm etal catalysts reaches 250 8C.…”
