Modification of The Catalytic Properties of Metals By The Use of Tailored Support Materials

CTS-9634266石墨碳纳米纤维将被用作金属NI或Pt催化剂的载体。将石墨片择优取向合成纤维，或在合成后进行电化学改性。经浸渍、煅烧和还原合成的金属颗粒对1,3-丁二烯的加氢反应具有独特的活性和选择性。本项目将详细研究纤维表面结构对颗粒形态的影响及其在气、液加氢条件下的催化特性。

ABSTRACT CTS-9634266 R. Terry Baker Graphitic carbon nanofibers will be utilized as support for mettallic NI or Pt catalysts. The fibers will be synthesized with preferential orientation of graphite platelets, or modified electrochemically after synthesis. The metal particles, synthesized by impregnation, calcination and reduction, have been shown to have unique activity and selectivity for the hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene. This project will study in detail the effect of fiber surface structure on particle morphology and corresponding catalytic characteristics under gas and liquid hydrogenation conditions.
