Ni-Cu alloy supported on γ-Al2O3 catalysts prepared by high-temperature hydrogen reduction exhibit high catalytic activity and durability for a three-way catalytic reaction under both oxidative and reductive conditions because of their self-regenerating feature. DFT calculations showed that Ni-oxide was reduced to Ni metal by CO in the presence of Cu metal because of the Ni-Cu alloy effect but was not in the absence of Cu metal.
负载在 γ-Al2O3 上的 Ni-Cu 合金催化剂经过高温氢气还原后,表现出在氧化和还原条件下均具有高的三效催化反应活性和稳定性,这归因于其自再生特性。DFT 计算表明,在 Cu 金属存在的情况下,Ni 氧化物被 CO 还原为 Ni 金属,这是由于 Ni-Cu 合金的作用,但在没有 Cu 金属的情况下则不会发生。
