We demonstrate a method for the synthesis of NixNb1-xO catalysts with sponge-like and fold-like nanostructures. By varying the Nb:Ni ratio, a series of NixNb1-xO nanoparticles with different atomic compositions (x = 0.03, 0.08, 0.15, and 0.20) have been prepared by chemical precipitation. These NixNb1-xO catalysts are characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The study revealed the sponge-like and fold-like appearance of Ni0.97Nb0.03O and Ni0.92Nb0.08O on the NiO surface, and the larger surface area of these NixNb1-xO catalysts, compared with the bulk NiO. Maximum surface area of 173 m/g can be obtained for Ni0.92Nb0.08O catalysts. In addition, the catalytic hydroconversion of lignin-derived compounds using the synthesized Ni0.92Nb0.08O catalysts have been investigated.
我们展示了一种合成具有海绵状和褶皱状纳米结构的NixNb1-xO催化剂的方法。通过改变Nb:Ni比例,采用化学沉淀法制备了一系列具有不同原子组成(x = 0.03、0.08、0.15和0.20)的NixNb1-xO纳米颗粒。这些NixNb1-xO催化剂通过X射线衍射、X射线光电子能谱和扫描电子显微镜进行表征。研究揭示了Ni0.97Nb0.03O和Ni0.92Nb0.08O在NiO表面呈现出海绵状和褶皱状外观,并且与块状NiO相比,这些NixNb1-xO催化剂具有更大的表面积。对于Ni0.92Nb0.08O催化剂,可获得最大表面积为173 m²/g。此外,还研究了使用合成的Ni0.92Nb0.08O催化剂对木质素衍生化合物进行催化加氢转化。
