Formic acid, a major product of biomass processing, is regarded as a potential liquid carrier for hydrogen storage and delivery. The catalytic dehydrogenation of FA to generate hydrogen using heterogeneous catalysts is of great interest. Ni based catalysts supported on silica were synthesized by incipient wet impregnation. The effect of doping with an alkaline earth metal (calcium) was studied, and the solids were tested in the formic acid decomposition reaction to produce hydrogen. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and programmed temperature surface reaction (TPSR). The catalyst doped with 19.3 wt.% of Ca showed 100% conversion of formic acid at 160 °C, with a 92% of selectivity to hydrogen. In addition, all the tested materials were promising for their application, since they showed catalytic behaviors (conversion and selectivity to hydrogen) comparable to those of noble metals reported in the literature.
甲酸是生物质加工的主要产物,被视为一种潜在的储氢和输氢液体载体。使用多相催化剂催化甲酸脱氢制氢备受关注。通过初湿浸渍法合成了负载在二氧化硅上的镍基催化剂。研究了掺杂碱土金属(钙)的效果,并在甲酸分解制氢反应中对固体进行了测试。通过X射线衍射(XRD)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、程序升温还原(TPR)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)和程序升温表面反应(TPSR)对催化剂进行了表征。掺杂19.3 wt.%钙的催化剂在160℃时甲酸转化率达100%,对氢气的选择性为92%。此外,所有测试材料都具有应用前景,因为它们表现出的催化行为(对氢气的转化率和选择性)与文献报道的贵金属相当。
