摘要:

稀燃发动机通过提高空燃比来改善燃油经济性, 减少CO2排放. 但由于空燃比较高, 稀燃发动机尾气中的NOx无法通过传统的三效催化技术有效消除. 为了解决这一问题, 适用于稀燃条件的NOx储存还原(NSR)技术得到了开发和应用. 传统的NSR催化剂以贵金属Pt作为其氧化还原活性中心. Pt基催化剂具有较高的NOx消除活性, 然而热稳定性差, 高温下易团聚失活. 据报道, Pd具有比Pt更好的热稳定性和抗硫性, 且能够在更低的温度下活化还原剂, 促进NOx还原. 但De-NOx反应中的活性Pd物种至今仍无定论, 这对设计高效的Pd基NSR催化剂提出了挑战.

本文设计制备了具有高活性的Pd负载型钙钛矿催化剂(Pd-La0.7Sr0.3MnO3). 其中钙钛矿组分的加入提高了Pd基催化剂的NO氧化能力和热稳定性, 并提供了可用于NOx储存的碱性位点. 通过调节金属-载体相互作用, 使Pd催化剂在NSR反应气氛下发生了自活化现象, 活化后催化剂的NOx消除活性由56.1%提高到90.1%, 同时副产物N2O的选择性降低. XRD、XAFS和XPS等表征结果显示, 在反应气氛下催化剂中的Pd2+被部分还原为高活性的Pd0物种. 相较于Pd2+, Pd0表现出更强的活化C3H6的性能, 从而提高了催化剂在富燃阶段的NOx还原效率. 结合XPS、CO化学吸附和动力学的实验结果, 计算得出Pd0位点的NOx还原速率是Pd2+位点的8倍, 从实验现象和动力学计算两个角度分别证明Pd0物种具有更优异的NOx还原活性.

然而, Pd0物种的生成需要适当强度的金属-载体相互作用. 通过与传统的Pd/BaO/Al2O3催化剂进行对比研究, 发现金属-载体相互作用过强时, 在富燃阶段Pd2+物种难以被还原, 且还原得到的Pd0物种并不稳定, 会在随后的贫燃阶段被快速重新氧化为Pd2+. 强相互作用虽然可以降低Pd物种粒径, 提高Pd的分散度, 但由于无法产生高活性的Pd0物种, 催化剂的NOx消除性能显著降低. 此外, 相较于传统的Pd/BaO/Al2O3和Pt/BaO/Al2O3催化剂, Pd负载型钙钛矿催化剂具有更为优异的NO氧化能力, 且储存位碱性适中, 因而表现出更强的抗H2O、CO2和SO2的性能, 具有良好的应用前景. 本文的结果说明了金属-载体相互作用对催化剂活性的显著影响, 同时也为理解和设计应用于动态氧化/还原气氛的金属催化剂提供了新的思路.

Abstract:

Herein, we report the excellent De-NOx performance of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSM) perovskite-supported Pd catalysts (Pd-LSM) in alternating lean-burn/fuel-rich atmospheres using C3H6 as reductant and describe the in situ activation of the Pd catalysts via metal-support interaction (MSI) tuning. The NOx reduction conversion of the Pd-LSM catalyst increased significantly from 56.1% to 90.1% and the production of N2O was suppressed. Our results demonstrated that this behavior was mainly attributed to the in situ transformation of Pd2+ into Pd0 during the reaction. The generated Pd0 species could readily activate the C3H6 reductant and achieve an eight-fold higher turnover frequency than Pd2+ for the reduction of NOx. Moreover, excessive MSIs inhibited the in situ generation of Pd0, and thereby, lowered the De-NOx activity of the catalyst even at high Pd dispersion. In addition, the Pd-LSM catalysts exhibited much higher S tolerance than conventional Al2O3-supported catalysts. Our study provides a new approach for analyzing and designing highly active metal catalysts operated under dynamic alternating oxidizing/reducing atmospheric conditions.
