Abstract
Supported palladium (Pd) catalysts are widely utilized to reduce the emission of exhaust CH4 from lean-burn engines by catalytic combustion. A large amount of water vapor in the exhaust makes hydroxyls accumulate on the catalyst surface at temperatures below 450 °C, leading to severe catalyst deactivation. Tuning palladium chemistry and inhibiting water adsorption are critical to developing active catalysts. Modifying the support surface with inert silicates would both change the palladium-support interaction and decrease water adsorption sites. This study reports an improved Pd/Y2O3-ZrO2 catalyst by constructing silicate patches on yttria-stabilized zirconia (Y2O3-ZrO2) support. The silicates hindered electron transfer from Y2O3-ZrO2 oxygen vacancies to palladium, which optimized palladium chemistry, especially the reducibility of active PdO species, and thereby boosted CH4 conversion under dry conditions. The temperature of 90% methane conversion (T90) over the catalyst decreased from 386 to 309 °C. Moreover, the inert silicates decreased surface oxygen vacancies of Y2O3-ZrO2 to improve support hydrophobicity, thereby inhibiting hydroxyl accumulation. The poisoning effect of water on the active sites located on the palladium-silicate interface was alleviated. When reaction gases contained 10 vol % water, the silicate-modified catalyst still showed higher activity with T90 of 404 °C, which is lower than T90 of 452 °C for unmodified catalyst. This work represents a step forward in preparing high-performance palladium catalysts for low-temperature wet methane combustion.

High-Temperature Behavior of Laser Electrodispersion-Prepared Pd/ZSM-5 Hydrocarbon Traps under CO Oxidation Conditions. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:4423.

Abstract
Zeolites and metal-doped zeolites are now widely considered as low-temperature hydrocarbon traps to be a part of emission control systems in automobiles. However, due to the high temperature of exhaust gases, the thermal stability of such sorbent materials is of great concern. To avoid the thermal instability problem, in the present work, laser electrodispersion was used to deposit Pd particles on the surface of ZSM-5 zeolite grains (SiO2/Al2O3 = 55 and SiO2/Al2O3 = 30) to obtain Pd/ZSM-5 materials with a Pd loading as low as 0.03 wt.%. The thermal stability was evaluated in a prompt thermal aging regime involving thermal treatment at temperatures up to 1000 °C in a real reaction mixture (CO, hydrocarbons, NO, an excess of O2, and balance N2) and a model mixture of the same composition with the exception of hydrocarbons. Low-temperature nitrogen adsorption and X-ray diffraction analysis were used to examine the stability of the zeolite framework. Special attention was paid to the state of Pd after thermal aging at varied temperatures. By means of transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectroscopy, it was shown that palladium, having been initially located on the surface of zeolite, undergoes oxidation and migrates into the zeolite's channels. This enhances the trapping of hydrocarbons and their subsequent oxidation at lower temperatures.

Abstract
Pd/Al2O3 catalysts modified by different chemical elements (Mg, Si, Ce, and Zr) were tested for methane (CH4) catalytic combustion, and PdO nanoparticles loaded on modified Al2O3 were systematically studied. These conditions assess the carrier effects of Pd/Al2O3 and acid strength influences on CH4 combustion. We observed carrier effects on activation energy through tuning Pd 3d binding energies (BEs) and on pre-exponential factors (A) through Pd dispersion and acidity on supports. When the BE of Pd 3d5/2 is 337.3 eV, PdO nanoparticles loaded on modified Al2O3 have excellent activity in cracking the C−H bond of CH4, which leads to the lowest activation energy (Ea), regardless of the size effect of the PdO nanoparticle. Furthermore, a theoretical construction that acid sites on catalysts promote the reversible elementary step (2Pd−OH ↔ Pd−O* + Pd* + H2O) right shifts improving the A dependency on the quantity of exposed Pd* and Pd−O*. As a result, Al2O3, as the carrier, not only modifies the electronic characteristics and size of supported PdO nanoparticles but also participates in the reaction process via acid sites on the surface of Al2O3.
