Tailoring the Properties of Metal Oxide Loaded/KCC-1 toward a Different Mechanism of CO2 Methanation by in Situ IR and ESR

Nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), and zinc (Zn) loaded on fibrous silica KCC-1 was investigated for CO2 methanation reactions. Ni/KCC-1 exhibits the highest catalyst performance with a CH4 formation rate of 33.02 × 10-2 molCH4 molmetal -1 s-1, 1.77 times higher than that of Co/KCC-1 followed by Zn/KCC-1 and...

Tailoring the Properties of Metal Oxide Loaded/KCC-1 toward a Different Mechanism of CO2 Methanation by in Situ IR and ESR
description Nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), and zinc (Zn) loaded on fibrous silica KCC-1 was investigated for CO2 methanation reactions. Ni/KCC-1 exhibits the highest catalyst performance with a CH4 formation rate of 33.02 × 10-2 molCH4 molmetal -1 s-1, 1.77 times higher than that of Co/KCC-1 followed by Zn/KCC-1 and finally the parent KCC-1. A pyrrole adsorption FTIR study reveals shifting of perturbed N-H stretching decreasing slightly with the addition of metal oxide, suggesting that the basic sites of catalyst were inaccessible due to metal oxide deposition. The strengths of basicity were found to follow sthe equence KCC-1, Ni/KCC-1, Zn/KCC-1, and Co/KCC-1. The data were supported by N2 adsorption desorption analysis, where Co/KCC-1 displayed the greatest reduction in total surface area whereas Ni/KCC-1 displayed the least reduction. The elucidation of difference mechanism pathways has also been studied by in situ IR spectroscopy studies to determine the role of different metal oxides in CO2 methanation. It was discovered that Ni/KCC-1 and Co/KCC-1 follow a dissociative mechanism of CO2 methanation in which the CO2 molecule was dissociated on the surface of the metal oxide before migration onto the catalyst surface. This was confirmed by the evolution of a peak corresponding to carbonyl species (COads) on a metal oxide surface in FTIR spectra.
