This paper describes the design of a Ni/La 2 O 3 catalyst using La 2 O 2 CO 3 nanorod as a support precursor (denoted as Ni/La 2 O 3 -LOC) via a wet impregnation method for dry reforming of methane (DRM). The results showed that La 2 O 3 derived from the La 2 O 2 CO 3 precursor maintained its initial morphology upon thermal treatment and could highly disperse Ni particles on it. Additionally, the nanorod-shaped support could provide more medium-strength basic sites to facilitate CO 2 adsorption and activation on its surface. Consequently, the Ni/La 2 O 3 -LOC catalyst reached 70% of CH 4 conversion and 75% of CO 2 conversion at 700 °C after 50 h DRM reaction with a H 2 /CO ratio of 0.87. The enhanced metal-support interaction restricted the sintering of nickel particles under harsh reaction conditions. Coke evolution on the catalysts was also investigated to understand coke formation mechanism and the role of La 2 O 2 CO 3 in coke elimination. It has been found that nickel dispersion can affect distribution of coke and La 2 O 2 CO 3 on the surface of catalyst, both of which have a close relation with catalytic performance.

Ni/La 2 O 3 nanocatalyst with Pt and Rh content as low as 5 mol%, respectively, is successfully synthesized by a facile co-reduction method in the presence of hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride aqueous solution under ambient atmosphere. Interestingly, the resulted Ni/La 2 O 3 catalyst with low cost exhibits excellent catalytic activity to dehydrogenation of hydrous hydrazine (N 2 H 4 ·H 2 O), producing hydrogen with 100% selectivity at room temperature (298 K), which represents a promising step toward the practical application for N 2 H 4 ·H 2 O system on fuel cells.

It is a challenging task for selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde (CAL) to hydrocinnamaldehyde (HCAL) without additional by-product formation. In this work, a La2O3supported high Ni content nanoparticle catalyst was prepared for CAL selective hydrogenation. Meanwhile, Co-La2O3catalysts were used as a reference catalyst. XRD, TEM, STEM-HAADF, XPS, and H2-TPR measurements were used to investigate the physicochemical properties of Ni-La2O3catalysts. The experimental results confirmed that the CAL conversion and HCAL selectivity were effectively promoted with the increase of Ni loading amounts. At a Ni/La molar ratio of four, a high HCAL selectivity of 87.4% was obtained at a CAL conversion of 88.1% under mild reaction conditions. The catalyst was recycled five times without activity loss. Combined with various characterizations, it could be inferred that the good hydrogen adsorption and dissociation capacity of Ni and the presence of a certain amount of oxygen vacancies on the La2O3support have a positive effect on the improvement of HCAL selectivity. This work provided an effective path to design transition-metal-based supported oxide catalyst for the cinnamaldehyde hydrogenation to hydrocinnamaldehyde.

Lanthanum oxide (La2O3) possesses superior reactivity during catalytic hydrogenation, but the intrinsic activity of La2O3 toward H2 adsorption and activation remains unclear. In the present work, we fundamentally investigated hydrogen interaction with Ni-modified La2O3. Hydrogen temperature programmed desorption (H2-TPD) on Ni/La2O3 shows enhanced hydrogen adsorption with a new hydrogen desorption peak at a higher temperature position compared to that on the metallic Ni surfaces. By systematically exploring the desorption experiments, the enhanced H2 adsorption on Ni/La2O3 is due to the oxygen vacancies formed at the metal–oxide interfaces. Hydrogen atoms transfer from Ni surfaces to the oxygen vacancies to form lanthanum oxyhydride species (H–La–O) at the metal–oxide interfaces. The adsorbed hydrogen at the metal–oxide interfaces of Ni/La2O3 results in improved catalytic reactivity in CO2 methanation. Furthermore, the enhanced hydrogen adsorption on the interfacial oxygen vacancies is ubiquitous for La2O3-supported Fe, Co, and Ni nanoparticles. Benefiting from the modification effect of the supported transition metal nanoparticles, the surface oxyhydride species can be formed on La2O3 surfaces, which resembles the recently reported oxyhydride observed on the reducible CeO2 surfaces with abundant surface oxygen vacancies. These findings strengthen our understanding of the surface chemistry of La2O3 and shed new light on the design of highly efficient La2O3-based catalysts with metal–oxide interfaces.

Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of renewable lignin-derived biomass in aqueous-phase to produce high value-added products is of great significance. However, developing new catalysts with high activity and excellent stability in an aqueous phase faces considerable challenges. Rare earth doping can effectively regulate the water exchange rate constant (WERC) value of the catalyst and play an important role in promoting the hydrolysis of ether bonds. Therefore, in this paper the bimetallic supported catalyst Ni–La 2 O 3 /H-ZSM-5 doped with rare earth metal La 2 O 3 was prepared, and used to catalyze the conversion of the lignin model compound guaiacol to cyclohexanol in the aqueous phase. The conversion of guaiacol catalyzed by 10Ni–3La 2 O 3 /H-ZSM-5 reaches 100%, and the selectivity of the product cyclohexanol is 85%. A series of characterizations illustrate that the doping of La 2 O 3 causes the electron transfer between La 2 O 3 –Ni and changes the distribution of Ni, and a strong metal carrier interaction occurs between the bimetallic Ni–La 2 O 3 and H-ZSM-5. This can effectively promote the hydrolysis of the C–O ether bond in guaiacol and significantly improve the activity of the catalyst. The possible catalytic reaction mechanism of Ni–La 2 O 3 /H-ZSM-5 catalytic conversion of guaiacol was proposed.

Water-purifying materials are of vital importance for providing sanitary water, especially in epidemic and disaster areas and for wilderness survival. Here, we report a novel inorganic composite with a fast, reusable, and pleiotropic water purification ability. The composite of heterogeneous Ni–La2O3 nanofibers was developed using an easy, low-cost, and large-scale production process, i.e., an electrospinning technique. Because of the unique heterostructure formed by introducing nickel nanoparticles into the La2O3 host, the nanocomposite fibers can rapidly remove various detrimental micropollutants with absorption rate constants hundreds of times greater than those of inorganic materials and activated carbons. In addition, the nanocomposite can be recycled by a soft washing procedure at ambient temperature and demonstrates a much more stable performance than the state-of-the-art activated carbon materials. Furthermore, the nanofibers have an excellent germicidal effect against the high-risk human pathogen Escherichia coli. Our work introduces a promising inorganic absorbent suitable for purifying life-sustaining water supplies in emergency situations and alleviating worldwide water shortages.

Thermochemical two-step CO 2 splitting is a potential approach that fixes the sustainable resource into transportable liquid fuels. However, the harsh CO 2 splitting conditions, the limited oxygen release kinetics and capacity of metal oxides block further promoted the CO yield and solar-to-fuel energy efficiency. Here, we propose a different carbon cycle assisted by Ni/La 2 O 3 via coupling methane decomposition with thermochemical CO 2 splitting, replacing conventional metal oxides cycle. Superior performance was demonstrated with methane conversion reached around 94% with almost pure H 2 generation. Encouragingly, CO 2 conversion of 98% and CO yield of 6.9 mmol g −1 derived from CO 2 were achieved, with peak CO evolution rate (402 mL min −1 g −1 ) of orders of magnitude higher than that in metal oxide process and outstanding thermodynamic solar-to-fuel energy efficiency (55.5% vs. 18.5%). This was relevant to the synergistic activation of La 2 O 3 and Ni for CO 2 in carbon cycle, thus improving CO 2 splitting reaction with carbon species.

Dry reforming of methane (DRM) offers an attractive solution for the high-value utilization of two primary greenhouse gasses, methane and carbon dioxide, but its industrial applications are hindered by the net carbon dioxide–positive emissions resulting from substantial energy consumption. Here, we developed an electrified technology by passing electric current through a conductive catalyst constituting nickel and lanthanum(III) oxide cosupported on activated carbons, reaching thermodynamic equilibrium conversions and sustaining for at least 120 hours. Notably, the energy efficiency (2.976 millimoles per kilojoule) exceeds all the previously reported values, enabling net carbon dioxide–negative emissions powered by common sustainable electricity. An electrically driven release of lattice oxygen bridges the decomposition of the lanthanum oxycarbonate intermediate generated from carbon dioxide activation and the reduction of the resultant nickel oxide species by deposited carbon from methane dissociation, thus inhibiting excessive nickel oxidation and lanthanum(III) oxide carbonatation. The electrified approach would make DRM a true pathway mitigating overall carbon footprint and combating global warming.

A monolithic silicon carbide foam (SiC-foam) structured nickel and lanthanum oxide (Ni-La 2 O 3 ) nanocomposite catalyst is developed via reducing the nickel oxide and lanthanum oxide (NiO-La 2 O 3 ) precursor that can be grown onto SiC-foam surface by depositing the needed citric acid gel followed by calcination at 750 °C. By taking the advantages of homogeneous component-distribution and strong Ni-La 2 O 3 interactions in the Ni-La 2 O 3 nanocomposites, this catalyst delivers much enhanced coke-depositing/Ni-sintering resistance than the unmodified counterpart of Ni-La 2 O 3 /alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) in the titled reaction. At 850 °C, a weight hourly space velocity (WSHV) is set as 24,000 mL CH4-CO2 g Cat −1 h −1 , methane/carbon dioxide (CH 4 /CO 2 ) conversions of 71/85% are initially achieved on the Ni-La 2 O 3 /SiC-foam catalyst followed by progressively decreased to 60/72% within 50 h (h), but remain almost unchanged for the next 50 h. On the contrary, the CH 4 /CO 2 conversions on the Ni-La 2 O 3 /Al 2 O 3 catalyst rapidly drop from 49/71% to 24/40% within only 25 h due to its serious Ni-sintering and coke deposition.
