“…The BE at 531.1–531.7 eV and 529.7–529.9 eV in Fig. (c) can be attributed to the surface‐adsorbed oxygen species or surface oxygen vacancies (O ads ) and surface lattice oxygen species (O latt ), respectively . As summarized in Table , the surface O ads /O latt values of as‐prepared catalysts followed the order Mn4Ni1 > Mn2Ni1 > Mn8Ni1 > Mn; for example, the surface O ads /O latt value of Mn was only 0.589, and these values were increased to 0.990, 1.236 and 1.219 for Mn8Ni1, Mn4Ni1 and Mn2Ni1, respectively.…”

BACKGROUND Benzene (C6H6) is a typical kind of volatile organic compound (VOC) which can exert great harm to both human health and the environment, and, thus, which needs to be eliminated before its emission. In this work, porous manganese–nickel (Mn‐Ni) composite oxide catalysts were synthesized through the oxalate route and applied to thermal catalytic oxidation of C6H6. By means of activity tests and relative physico‐chemical characterizations, the factors affecting the activity of those Mn‐Ni composite oxides were explored. RESULTS Nitrogen (N2)‐adsorption/desorption and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements indicated that the Brunauer–Elmett–Teller (BET) surface area and the content of surface‐adsorbed oxygen species were increased due to the addition of Ni into Mn oxide (MnOx). Meanwhile, the oxygen mobility and reducibility also were improved in the Mn‐Ni composite oxides. Accordingly, compared with MnOx, the Mn‐Ni catalysts showed higher activity for thermal catalytic oxidation of C6H6. Moreover, porous Mn‐Ni composite oxides with a Mn:Ni molar ratio of 4:1 (Mn4Ni1) displayed the best catalytic activity. Further investigation indicated that the excellent catalytic performance of Mn4Ni1 composite oxides could be ascribed mainly to the larger BET surface area and the richer content of surface‐adsorbed oxygen species, as well as stronger oxygen mobility and better reducibility compared with other Mn‐Ni catalysts. CONCLUSIONS The Mn4Ni1 composite oxides showed a lowest T90 value of 172 °C (C6H6 concentration 200 ppm, WHSV 60 000 mL g−1 h−1) among all of the obtained Mn‐Ni composite oxides. Moreover, it also exhibited favourable catalytic stability at 210 °C in the presence or absence of moisture. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry

Thermal catalytic oxidation is a promising and effective technique for the removal of harmful formaldehyde (HCHO) in indoor air. Manganese oxide is a mostly‐investigated non‐noble metal oxide catalyst and attracts much attention due to its better catalytic performance for formaldehyde oxidation at low temperature. In this review, the effect of manganese oxide crystal structure, surface morphology and microstructure, surface active oxygen species, reducibility as well as catalytic reaction conditions (temperature, relative humidity and HCHO initial concentration) on catalytic performance, and the catalytic mechanism over manganese oxide were summarized and discussed. The challenges and prospects for future development of manganese oxide in catalytic oxidation of formaldehyde are also covered.

Although considerable effort has been devoted to developing bifunctional electrocatalysts with enhanced atomic utilization in ethanol fuel cells, significant progress in this field has been hindered by notable drawbacks of the electrocatalysts, such as low stability, poor activity, and inefficient repeatability for multiple startup and shutdown cycles. Considering these issues herein, a novel nanosized GaPtMnP alloy anchored on N-doped multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) is developed. The average size of the spherical GaPtMnP alloy nanoparticles is ≈3.5 nm. The atomic structure and d-band shift of Pt in the GaPtMnP alloy are demonstrated using state-of-the-art density functional theory calculations. Cyclic voltammetry analysis revealed that GaPtMnP/N-MWCNT delivered high mass and specific activities of 9.16 A mg Pt −1 and 10.4 mA cm −2 , respectively, in 0.3 m H 2 SO 4 + 0.5 m ethanol, values that are ≈13and 8-fold higher than the corresponding values for Pt/C. In addition, it exhibits long-term stability and durability even after 3000 cycles. A single cell based on the GaPtMnP/N-MWCNT anodic electrocatalyst exhibits a peak power density of 86.64 mW cm −2 , which is approximately fourfold higher than that of Pt/C at 70 °C. Furthermore, the performance of a fuel cell comprising the GaPtMnP/N-MWCNT catalyst remained constant even after multiple startup-shutdown cycles.
