Enhanced methane combustion performance over NiAl2O4-interface-promoted Pd/γ-Al2O3
Poor durability and low Pd utilization efficiency are the main drawbacks of supported Pd catalysts for low-temperature methane combustion. Here, we present a facile way to stabilize the performance of Pd/Al 2 O 3 by introducing a spinel NiAl 2 O 4 interface as a promoter at no cost to the activity. The NiAl 2 O 4 interface is formed by impregnation of alumina supports in the nickel-containing solution, followed by high-temperature calcination. A series of 0.4 wt.% Pd/ x NiO/γ-Al 2 O 3 with NiO loading varying among 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, and 9.0 wt.% is investigated. The formation of a NiAl 2 O 4 interface promotes the distribution and crystallization of PdO, suppresses PdO particles aggregation and surface OH − species accumulation during the reaction, and finally leads to the excellent performance of Pd/0.5NiO/γ-Al 2 O 3 . Pd/0.5NiO/γ-Al 2 O 3 demonstrates higher Pd utilization efficiency than the state-of-the-art Pd-based catalysts and better stability than Pd/Al 2 O 3 . Such a spinel interface promotion strategy may bring new insight into the design of highly efficient Pd-based catalysts and their potential technological applications.
