Ni-induced C-Al2O3-framework (NiCAF) Supported Core-multishell Catalysts for Efficient Catalytic Ozonation: A Structure-to-performance Study
2019
During catalytic ozonation, Al2O3-supported catalysts usually have stable structures but relatively low surface activity, while carbon-supported catalysts are opposite. To encourage their synergisms, we designed a Ni-induced C-Al2O3-framework (NiCAF) and reinforced it with a Cu-Co bimetal to create an efficient catalyst (CuCo/NiCAF) with a core-multishell structure. The partial graphitization of carbon adjacent to Ni crystals formed a strong out-shell on the catalyst surface. The rate constant for total organic carbon removal of CuCo/NiCAF (0.172±0.018 min-1) was 67% and 310% higher than that of Al2O3-supported catalysts and Al2O3 alone, respectively. The metals on CuCo/NiCAF contributed to surface-mediated reactions during catalytic ozonation, while the embedded carbon enhanced reactions within the solid-liquid boundary layer and in the bulk solution. Moreover, carbon embedment provided a 76% increase in ·OH-production efficiency and an 86% increase in organic-adsorption capacity compared to Al2O3-suppor...
