  1. 1. In situ structural studies and gas phase visualization of model catalysts at work

    Författare :Sara Blomberg; Synkrotronljusfysik; []
    Nyckelord :CO-oxidation; model catalysts; AP-XPS; PLIF; Pd; Rh; PdAg; Fysicumarkivet A:2017:Blomberg;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis reports on in situ structural studies relevant to a catalytic surface during CO oxidation. The materials that have been studied are palladium, rhodium and an alloy of palladium and silver, with applications in emission cleaning by catalytic converters in vehicles. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Development and Assessment of Regeneration Methods for Commercial Automotive Three-Way Catalysts

    Författare :Henrik Birgersson; Magali Boutonnet; Jim A. Andersson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; automotive catalyst; TWC; aging; sintering; Pd Rh; Pt Rh; regeneration; oxy-chlorination; dispersion; acid-leaching; mathematical modeling; reaction kinetics; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Car exhaust catalysts were introduced in the early 1980’s, to limit the release of pollutants such as hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. These catalysts contain noble metals such as palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt) and rhodium (Rh) and are able to simultaneously abate all three of the above-mentioned pollutants, hence the name three-way catalyst (TWC).

  4. 3. Hydrogen Generation for Fuel Cells in Auxiliary Power Systems

    Författare :Marita Nilsson; Lars J. Pettersson; Gunther Kolb; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; autothermal reforming; auxiliary power unit; diesel; dimethyl ether; fuel cell; fuel-flexible reformer; hydrogen; PdZn alloy; reforming catalyst; reformer design; Rh; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Heavy-duty trucks are in idle operation during long periods of time, providing the vehicles with electricity via the alternator at standstill. Idling trucks contribute to large amounts of emissions and high fuel consumption as a result of the low efficiency from fuel to electricity. LÄS MER

  5. 4. The effect of surface steps and oxides on the catalytic activity on model Pd and Rh catalysts

    Författare :Chu Zhang; Synkrotronljusfysik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Surface X-ray diffraction SXRD ; X-ray photonelectron spectroscopy; Catalytic activity; Oxide; Single Crystal surface; surface structure; vicinal surface; CO oxidation; stepped surface; Fysicumarkivet A:2018:Zhang;

    Sammanfattning : A catalyst is a substance that can speed up the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being consumed. Catalysts are crucial for chemical production industries, where about 90% of all chemicals are produced using catalysts. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Model catalysts studied by x-rays, visible and infrared light

    Författare :Stefano Albertin; Synkrotronljusfysik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; High Energy Surface X-ray Diffraction; X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy; oxidation; Pd 100 ; PdO; Ir 100 ; IrO2; in-situ; operando; Surface Optical Reflectance;

    Sammanfattning : This work is focused on the study of transition metal model catalysts for gas-phase heterogeneous catalysis, studied with light-based in-situ and operando techniques.Metallic model catalysts, such as Palladium (Pd) and Iridium (Ir) single crystals and in minor part deposited Rhodium (Rh), were studied using a combination of x-ray and non x-ray techniques.
