Multifunctional Catalysts Based on High-Entropy Transition Metal Alloys
摘要
High-entropy alloys were produced by centrifugal self-propagating high-temperature synthesis and used as precursors for preparation of catalysts for CO and propane deep oxidation and CO2 hydrogenation. The precursors were converted into catalysts by aluminum leaching and stabilization with hydrogen peroxide solution. Prepared FeCoNiCu, FeCoNiCuMo, FeCoNiCuMn, and FeCoNiCuCr catalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM/EDS, and BET methods and tested in the processes of deep oxidation of CO and propane and methanation of CO2. The highest CO2 conversion, 50.6%, with methane selectivity of 77.5% was achieved on FeCoNiCu catalyst at 400°C. The best catalyst for the deep oxidation process was shown to be FeCoNiCuCr, on which the temperature of 100% CO conversion was 250°C and 100% conversion of propane was achieved at 450°C.
