Full textThe objective of this thesis was the optimization of the synthesis and catalytic performances of Ti-containing materials in the oxidation with H2O2 of a wide range of model organic compounds. The original part is represented by the synthesis of SiO2-TiO2 mixed oxides by a non hydrolytic sol-gel procedure and their use in different catalytic reactions like: sulfoxidation, epoxidation of olefins, oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons and phenols. These materials were compared with ordered mesoporous materials (Ti-MCM-41 and Ti-MCM-48) and microporous titanosilicalite TS-1. The non-hydrolytic sol-gel process based on the etherolysis and condensation of chloride precursors offers a simple one-step route to mesoporous SiO2-TiO2 xerogels with a good dispersion of Ti species and outstanding textural properties, without resorting to supercritical drying procedures as in the case of the mixed oxides obtained by a hydrolytic way. Moreover, these materials exhibited a remarkable catalytic activity in the oxidation with H2O2 of all the organic compounds investigated (significant conversions, good selectivities and H2O2 efficiencies). The catalysts were stable under operating conditions

Full textDuring this thesis, derivatives of vegetable oils are used to synthesize bio-resistant bio plasticizers for PVC and plasticizer / cross linker for an elastomer (EPDM). The oils possess ester functional groups which allow the solubilization of PVC and fatty chains compatible with EPDM. The reactions of epoxide ring-opening of fatty esters to di esters (symmetrical and asymmetrical) have been studied and applied mainly to the plasticization of PVC. The ring-opening of epoxides of fatty esters to ether-esters has also been studied, primarily for plasticization of EPDM. Optimization of the reaction conditions was carried: homogeneous (TBACl) and heterogeneous (TiO2) catalysts were efficient for the preparation of hydroxy-ester, and sulfonic resins in ether and the esterification of residual hydroxyls. A wide variety of reagents selected according to desired application were used. The derivative cyclohexanoate / acetate rapeseed methyl esters present the best plasticizing properties for PVC but it is unfortunately not bio-resistant. Ether-ester derivatives are not stable thermally and do not allow the plasticization of EPDM. A relatively non-polar di-unsaturated derivative (oleyl oleate) was synthesized for the plasticization and cross linking of EPDM. Several reactions are considered to link the oil and the polymer (hydrosilylation, ene- reaction and metathesis), but the reactivity is too low to allow the cross linking

Full textL’objectif de la thèse est de fabriquer des structures catalytiques washcoatées de taille centimétrique pour différentes réactions catalytiques comme le vaporeformage et le pré-reformage, le SNG (Substitute Natural Gas) et le MTP (Methanol to Propylene). L’étude de l’utilisation de ces structures alternatives aux catalyseurs extrudés conventionnels utilisés dans l’industrie est la conséquence des contraintes opératoires (gradients de pression et de température) et leur influence sur les coûts opératoires (endommagement des matériaux, désactivation des catalyseurs, perte de charge dans les réacteurs, etc.). Le dépôt des catalyseurs sur les architectures céramiques et métalliques a été possible grâce à l’étude minutieuse du comportement des solides catalytiques en suspension dans un milieu liquide. Le contrôle de paramètres comme la chimie de surface et la rhéologie a été nécessaire pour acquérir une maîtrise nécessaire afin d’obtenir des pièces catalytiques avec un dépôt homogène, stable mécaniquement et non fissuré

Full textHoneycomb structures for catalytic converters made of refractory Iron-Chromium-Aluminium alloy work at high temperature in oxidizing conditions. This thesis aims at understanding the damage mechanisms of parts in service, mainly due to oxidation or coupled oxidation and thermal fatigue of the structure. Material related aspects have been studied in 3 steps : Microstructural and kinetic study of ageing. Study of the mechanical behaviour at high temperature (800-1000°C) and low stresses of the metallic foil. Experimental and numerical simulation of the metal-oxide composite, with focus on reinforcement effects and isothermal/ anisothermal dimensional stability issues. This works basic data and knowledge to define an optimal preoxidation treatment optimising wash-coat adhesion, oxidation protection and dimensional stability. More fundamentally, we have studied growth deformations in oxide layers based on the analysis of specific experiments, the mechanical testing system developed at Centre des Matériaux and the FEM simulation Code Zebulon. Regarding the structure, we have focused on the metallic spiral monolith. The study of the local elastic properties of the honeycomb has shown the importance of the exact geometry of the brazed area on the mechanical behaviour of the whole. In addition, the extremes microstructures found in the monolith, in phase and out-of phase, displayed a very different behaviour in elastic properties and behaviour under thermal cycling, the former being the best. The repartition law between those 2 phases as a function of the L/e ratio between wave length and amplitude of the corrugated foil has been determined. Observations on damaged parts have confirmed the role of this distribution

Full textThe results presented in this manuscript have aimed at preparing catalytic materials based on noble metals for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOC). Thus, different platinum based catalysts have been prepared and their catalytic performances have been evaluated for n-butanol and acetic acid oxidation. A first study on oxidative and non-oxidative removal of n-butanol over alumina supported platinum based catalysts has been performed. This work focused on the study of the effect of the different parameters involved in the reaction (oxygen, water, metal). The adsorption-desorption phenomenon of the pollutant on the catalyst surface has also been studied.Inspired by the literature on the specific redox properties of ceria, the work was then focused on the effect of the addition of CeO2 to Pt/Al2O3 catalysts for n-butanol and acetic acid oxidation. The modification of the redox and acid-base properties as well as that of the catalytic performances of the material with the addition of CeO2 allowed to establish a relationship between catalytic oxidation activities, oxygen storage capacity and basicity. This correlation has been confirmed in the last study performed on the monolithic catalysts coated with different materials (Pt/Al2O3, Pt/CeO2, Pt/ZrO2, Pt/Al2O3-CeO2, Pt/Al2O3-ZrO2 and Pt/CeO2-ZrO2)

Full textThe objective of the Ph.D. thesis is the development of new catalytic systems based on non-noble metal nanoparticles (Cu and/or Co MNPs) hosted in functional mesostructured hosts. To this aim, various supports are prepared by doping SBA-15 with Al, Ga and Fe heteroatoms using the two-step pH-adjustment method or by coating the SBA-15 surface with Al, Ga and Fe oxides using the melt infiltration approach. Likewise, hybrid organic-silica SBA-15 supports are obtained by partial extraction of the Pluronic P123 surfactant. The characterization and catalytic results show that the functionalization of SBA-15 supports with heteroatoms or with polyether groups originating from the native surfactant represents new strategic lines to achieve an enhanced control on the local environments of hosted MNPs and to engineer both the metal-support interaction and nanoparticle size, ultimately to fine tuning the performances of Cu and/or Co-based nanocatalysts in terms of activity and chemoselectivity for the liquid-phase hydrogenation of unsaturated aldehydes, such as cinnamaldehyde. Furthermore, SBA-15 materials containing Fe species in isolated and/or highly dispersed states are evaluated for the Fenton-type peroxidation of Reactive Red 120 azo dye, exhibiting excellent catalytic properties for the dye degradation

Full textComplex based on palladium salt (II) were applied as catalysts for the hydroesterification of isosorbide, a biobased molecule, with 1-octen. First, the use of standard ionic liquids permits the immobilization of the catalyst (palladium + phosphine) and the conversion of 1-octen. The catalytic activity is dependent on the nature of the ionic liquid. The sulfonated ionic liquid bSmimAPTS permit the obtention of high conversions, with important yield in diester during three catalytic cycles, and avoid the use of paratoluenesulfonic acid. The catalyst (palladium + sulfonated phopshine) is immobilized in the ionic liquid phase. The regioselctivity of the reaction can be changed with the replacement of the TPPTS by a sulfonated bidentate phosphine (XANTPHOS, l/b ratio= 85/15 against 75/25 in classical condition). A system containing Pd(OAc)2/APTS/NBu4Br proved also highly effective in the conversion of 1-octen but it was not very stable over time (recycled just two times). Secondly, the use of commercial activated carbons has immobilized the palladium after cold filtration while maintaining high catalytic activity. It’s possible to convert the 1-octen using a sulfonted carbonaceous material (obtained by hydrothermally condition in one step between sucrose en sulfuric acid). Synthesis, characterization and applications of a sulfonated nanoreplicated carbonaceous material, as CMK-3, were considered. This one (MC-NR-saccharose-500(SO3H) permit the obtention of high conversions and high yields of diesters, with a selectivity in favor of the linear isomer (l/b ratio= 92/8). An extension was studied with the synthesis of a sulfonated hybrid material (MCSi 10.4-SO3H) and also results in high conversion and high selectivity in linear isomer (l/b ratio= 92/8). Tests with acidics materials controls (sulfonated commercial resin and sulfonated silica) were performed

Full textMicrostructured systems have many advantages in several chemical fields: in chemical synthesis, in kinetics and in the research and development of new generation catalysts. Our research tends to focus on the improvements of micro reactors with the diver se carbon materials for the chemical processes. This study focuses on the use of a structured catalyst based on SiC foam decorated with active phase HZSM-5 for dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether (DME). The results indicate that the structured catalyst H-ZSM5/SiC foam has a high dehydration activity compared to those in wall-coated configuration and in tubular fixed-bed, for a relatively low contact times. The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis has been tested in the microstructured reactor (PSR) filled with SiC foam at low pressure (10 bar). The reactor structured with SiC foam ensures the isothermal condition, particularly at the presence of the wax production by the reaction. A specific activity of 0. 7 gHC. Gcatalyseur. H-1 with a selectivity of 95 % for C5+ were obtained in the PSR reactor at 220 °C with a space velocity of 3800 h-1. The increase in specific activity as function of space velocity was attributed to a better evacuation of liquid hydrocarbons on the catalyst surface therefore reducing the thickness of the liquid film leads better accessibility for reactants to active sites

Full textThe objective of this work was to develop an heterogeneous catalyst system supplied by dioxygen, rather than commercial H2O2, in order to carry out epoxidation reactions. Our strategy was to couple the in situ production of H2O2, catalyzed by glucose oxidase (GOx), with a Ti-based catalyst. The enzyme was covalently grafted onto a silicic mesocellular foam (MCF) functionalized by aminopropyle groups, then the thermal stability and behavior in organic solvents of the resulting material were investigated. The approach aiming at anchoring Ti, then GOx on the same support did not result in an effective tandem catalyst because of a too high –NH2 surface coverage. Hydrophilicity of MCF makes the oxidation of organosoluble alkenes unefficient. An alternative approach consisted in using the hydrophobic TS-1 zeolite known to operate in aqueous medium but whose micropores do not allow GOx hosting. However, TS-1 combined in a mechanical mixture with GOX immobilized on MCF turned out to be effective for the oxidation of cyclohexene in MeOH/acetate buffer 50:50 at 35°C (50% yield of epoxide and its derivatives). Even better performances were obtained for prop-2-ene-1-ol oxidation in aqueous medium at 40°C (87 % yield of glycerol). The basic attack of TS-1 has created mesoporosity to host GOx but damaged active Ti sites. On the other hand, TS-1 coated MCF appeared to be a good option having a beneficial effect on the oxidation of prop-2-en-1-ol in water by H2O2. Finally, a manganese porphyrin, Mn-TCPP, was also tested successfully as alkene oxidation catalyst in combination with GOx but, in case of immobilization, the presence of the silicate support lead to a deactivated catalyst

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to prepare from two marine polysaccharides, alginate and chitosan, different types of materials for the supported ionic liquid phase catalysis technology (Bio-SILCs materials). Two immobilization ways of the ionic liquid phase on the biopolymer supports were investigated: (i) one by encapsulating the ionic liquid phase, containing a homogeneous catalyst, within a biopolymer matrix; (ii) one using a sol-gel process, leading to materials named ionogels. Special attention was given to the characterization of the Bio-SILCs materials using spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. The catalytic materials were applied to (i) the Pd-catalyzed Tsuji-Trost reaction and (ii) the Ru-catalyzed olefin metathesis. Catalytic performance and recyclability of the Bio-SILCs materials were studied in both reactions. The characterization of the Bio-SILCs materials, related to the catalytic studies, enabled to define the best experimental conditions leading to efficient catalytic materials

Full textThis works deals with new catalytic materials for the gas-phase oxycarbonylation of methanol to dimethylcarbonate, usually performed over CuCl2-based catalysts : 2 CH3OH + CO + 0,5 O2 (CH3O)2CO + H2O. It has been focused on two kinds of copper-based materials, chloride-containing catalysts based on carbon (nanofibers, activated charcoal and graphite) and SiC supports, and chloride free catalysts based on copper-exchanged zeolites. The SiC support was unsuitable for this exothermic reaction, although it displays an interesting thermoconductive character. Carbon supported catalysts allowed high STY to be obtained (200 gDMC/h/lcat), but rapidly deactivated on stream, due to the loss of chloride as chloromethane, resulting in the micropilot corroding. Amongst cupper- and chloride-based active phases, the most interesting performances were obtained on the Cu2Cl(OH)3 paracatamite supported phase, which also showed the advantage to provide less chloride to the catalytic system and process than CuCl2. Adding palladium increased the methanol conversion, but produced larger amounts of CO2. The thermoconductive nature of the carboned supports and the control of the catalytic bed temperature have been correlated in order to reduce the CO2 emission. The influence of the zeolite nature, the copper precursor and its exchange mode within the zeolite has been studied. Performing the zeolite exchange in the gas phase allowed interesting STY of 100 gDMC/h/lcat with an acceptable CO2 production to be obtained. Such catalysts showed a total stability with time on stream, no deactivation being observed. The copper/zeolite exchange rate and the reactivity behaviour have been correlated

Full textPreparation and characterization of a new catalyst designed for hydrotreating petroleum feedstocks are described in the present work. Blocks maded of compressed expanded graphite are impregnated by polyfurfuryl alcohol, pyrolyzed and activated. These successive steps lead to monoliths whom structure corresponds to a thin active carbon layer deposited on a highly porous graphite backbone. Their elastical and conducting properties are described at each step of their preparation. Given their surface microporosity, these monoliths are quite good catalyst supports. Impregnation with MoCl5 (either in liquid or in vapor phase) followed by a subsequent carburization leads to a phase which is much better dispersed than in three other active carbons studied for comparison. The monoliths thus exhibit a high activity in HDN of indole and quite promising performances in HDS of dibenzothiophene

Full textSelf-assembled nanotubes are unique shaped objects which have attracted much recent interest. However, functional materials based on them are still rare. We have shown that the diamide BHPB can self-assemble to form nanotubes in alkanes, through H-bonds between the diamides groups. Here, we report the possibility of functionalizing directly these tubules under two different physical states: organogel and aerogel, which overcomes an unfavorable self-assembling process. Structure property studies have revealed that addition of only the small alkyne or azide groups into BHPB compounds can yield analogues retaining the property of self-assembly into nanotubes and able to react by Huisgen condensation. Hence we obtained nanotubes that are able, under their self-assembled state, to fix small molecules without losing the initial tubular form. In the second part, we have used these nanotubes to imprint the polymeric resins by using a three steps process developed by our group, to prepare mesoporous materials. Further chemical modification on the pore walls can yield catalytic resins. This work is currently submitted to a patent application

Full textSevere European standards require car manufacturers to think about efficient post-combustion systems. Zeolites,microporous materials,have aroused a large interest in this domain. To improve the specifications of such systems,it is necessary to have a better knowledge of the reaction mechanisms. This work has been performed in this point of view. Inverse gas chromatography technique has been used for the determination of the adsorption and transport properties of hydrocarbons within these catalytic materials. From the chromatographic response curve,we can determine relevant information,such as Henry's constants and diffusion coefficients. A qualitative study has been realised to investigate the accessibility of hydrocarbons to the pores of the materials. Thermodynamic and diffusional parameters have been determined. A simulation modelling of the chromatographic response curve has been adjusted,allowing better estimations of the diffusion coefficients of the probes

Full textThe long term use, the trajectory and attidude corrections of the satellites are linked to thruster engine optimization. The objective is to replace the toxic hydrazine by less toxic monopropellants. Energetic ionic liquids like hydroxylammonium nitrate, hydrazinium nitroformate or ammonium dinitramide associated with molecular fuels could be potential hydrazine substitutes. The purpose of this work was to prepare and shape form stable catalysts able to decompose these monopropellants at low temperature with good activity and selectivity. Platinum supported on silicon-doped alumina, in powder, or shape formed, have been characterized before and after the catalytic decomposition in HAN79%- water solution. The catalyst evaluation has been determined by thermal analysis, or using a batch reactor and a dynamic reactor, it revealed that all catalysts are efficient during fifteen monopropellant injections. A model is proposed to describe the evolution of the active phase during the reaction

Full textRechargeable metal-air batteries exhibit high theoretical energy densities, and could be an ideal candidate for a technological breakthrough in the field of electric vehicles and large-scale stationary energy storage. Aqueous metal-air batteries are low-cost, safe, recyclable, and have environmental footprint. Thus, the outcome of this emerging technology could offer a credible alternative to Li-ion batteries, which are reaching a technology readiness level. However, the main scientific challenge to bring these systems into a commercial reality concerns the development of bifunctional air electrodes. This requires the design of low-cost, stable and efficient catalysts for both oxygen reduction (discharge) and oxygen evolution reactions (charge). The present work focuses on various investigations of electrocatalysts derived from graphene, cobaltites and carbon/oxide composites. The main objective was the better understanding of the effects induced by their composition, their electronic and morphostructural properties on the catalytic activity and stability of materials towards oxygen electrocatalysis. Experiments were thereby conducted in order to be able to separate effects induced by chemical nature of the carbon substrate from those resulted in the incorporation of heteroatoms or from the spinel cobaltites surface properties. In addition, a part of this study dealt with the impact of the chemical nature of the electrolyte (LiOH and K2ZnOH4) encountered in real aqueous alkali Li-air and Zn-air batteries on the activity and stability of Co3O4/N;S-RGO nanocomposites towards oxygen electrocatalysis

Full textThe current study aims to develop novel catalytic materials for the post-treatment of exhaust gas stemming from gasoline engines. The Three Way Catalyst (TWC) is generally considered as a mature and reliable technology capable of removing simultaneously the main pollutants present in the automobile exhaust gas: CO, HC and NOx. The existing TWC system relies heavily on the significant use of Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) and Rare Earth Elements (REEs). However, the high-cost and scarcity of the conventional PGM-based TWC system constitutes an obstacle for the cost reduction of exhaust gas treatment technology as well as a severe burden on natural resource. Another drawback of conventional TWC is associated with the sintering of precious metals in the process of catalyst operation and unsatisfactory N2 selectivity during NOx reduction. Therefore, alternative solutions are required which should ideally allow a substantial reduction of PGMs usage without sacrificing significantly the catalytic performance. Trois voiesThe goal of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of applying perovskite-type materials as an alternative to the replacement of conventional TWC system. The main approach employed is composition optimization of perovskite-type materials, including creation of non-stoichiometry in the chemical composition, partial substitution in A or B site and addition of small amount of PGMs. Influence of partial substitution in A or B site as well as the synergistic effect of dual substitutions in both A and B site were investigated. Results showed that Cu doping in B site could enhance oxidation of CO and C3H6 while Mn doping had a noticeable promoting impact on NO reduction under stoichiometric conditions. Small amount of PGM loading combined with doping of Cu or Mn could enhance remarkably the redox properties of the lanthanum ferrite perovskite. Ca doping in A site affected the dispersion and diffusion of precious metals across the perovskite substrate. The PGM-loaded perovskite catalysts outperformed the commercial benchmark catalyst in terms of higher NO conversion and N2 selectivity in stoichiometric condition in the operating temperature range of the TWC system but the deNOx activity during cold-start process remains a big challenge

Full textMCM-22 has a very peculiar pore structure with three independent pore systems: narrow sinusoidal channels (4. 1×5. 1 Å), large supercages (ø 7. 1 Å, height 18. 2 Å) accessible through (4. 0×5. 5 Å) openings and external cups (ø 7. 1 Å, depth 7. 0 Å). The aim of this thesis was to study the global catalytic properties and ascertain the catalytic role of each pore system of HMCM-22 zeolite (Si/Al=14. 5) on methylcyclohexane and n-heptane transformations at 350ºC. To this end, the participation of each pore system was established by selectively deactivating the supercages through coke deposition and poisoning the external cups acid sites. Supercages play the major catalytic role on both reactions. Sinusoidal channels present a very low activity due to high steric constraints. External cups acid sites are more active than those of supercages in methylcyclohexane transformation due to the absence of diffusion limitations. The results revealed that the external cups acid sites are not able to catalyze n-heptane reaction, which is ascribed to a lower acid strength and/or to the absence of confinement effect in the external cups. Adsorption of different molecules allowed the determination of the micropore volume of each pore system. An intermediate behavior of HMCM-22 between USHY (large pores) and HZSM-5 (intermediate pores) zeolites was observed on both reactions. The activities per acid site of HMCM-22 zeolite were closer to those of HZSM-5. Dealumination by acid leaching of the HMCM-22 zeolite removed mainly the acid sites located on the supercages and external cups, whereas those of the sinusoidal channels were almost not affected

Full textThe work performed in this thesis allowed understanding of the interfacial self-assembly of a fungal protein, SC3 hydrophobin, at a deeper mechanistic level. These fundamental studies were the starting point of an applied research on the possibilities of using hydrophobin as an agent retaining different molecules on solid surfaces. It was shown that enzymes, fullerene, calixarene and cyclodextrin derivatives could be immobilized on carbon, platinum, polytetrafluoroethylene, polystyrene or stainless steel surfaces, yielding functional materials. Moreover, it was shown that the SC3 hydrophobin with eight cystein sulfhydryl groups oxidized to sulfonates chelates cupric ions. The SC3-CuII incorporated in a lipid cubic phase deposited on electrodes formed a reversible, biomimetic redox system. The results obtained in this work show a way to easily manufacture stable surfaces with possible applications in electro-optical switching and electrochemical sensing

Full textThis work is devoted to the synthesis and the study of the physical properties of cobalt ferrite nanomaterials. Thecobalt ferrite nanopowders (CoxFe3-xO4 , x=0.6,1,1.2,1.8 ) were synthesized by a new solvo thermal chemical route.The nanopowders are highly crystallized, very homogeneous in size and chemical composition. The nanopowderssizes are ranged from 4 nm for high cobalt content to 7 nm for low cobalt content. They are single phased, with thespinel structure, and a cell parameter varying with the cobalt content. The cobalt ferrites do not oxidize, when heatedunder air. For compositions near x=1, the cobalt ferrites are stable when heated under air up to 900°C, as for the othercompositions, phase transformations occur above 550°C.The catalytic measurements have shown the oxidation of CH4 into CO2 in presence of the catalyst for all thecompositions. Cobalt ferrite with composition x=1.8, presents the lowest activation energy and the best catalyticefficiency; this can be related to the great specific surface and the high rate of active sites for this composition.Concerning the conduction properties, the cobalt ferrites exhibit a semiconductor character up to 500-600 ° C and ametallic one above. Changes in conductivity from a composition to another are explained by changes in the number ofpairs [Co2+, Fe3+].A superparamagnetic behaviour was evidenced whatever the composition. This is due for one part to a size and shapeeffect and for the other part to different cationic distribution between tetrahedral and octahedral sites. These ferriteshave a saturation magnetization close to that of the massive state, because of the high crystallinity of the nanopowders,attributed to the synthesis method developed in this work

Full textThis work is dedicated to the sol-gel preparation and characterisation of alumina supports and platinum supported catalysts showing a good thermal stability. The gels obtained from aluminium tri-sec butoxide hydrolyzed in excess water are constituted by boehmite crystallites of nanometric size; these small dimensions entail the presence of an important excess of water for the dried samples and explain the high specific surface areas. The introduction of a doping element during the preparation allows an important improvement of the thermal stability of alumina; the best results are obtained for silicon doped samples, at 0. 12 molar ratio. The characteristics of platinum based catalysts depend on the texture and the nature of the support, on the introduction mode of the metal precursor and on the performed thermal treatments. Catalysts supported on silicon-doped alumina turn out very promising for high temperature applications

Full textThe development of new materials for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is a challenge to meet current challenges: lowering operating temperature, use of non-precious metals, flexibility of fuel use or resistance to degradation. For these purposes, a dual theoretical and experimental approach has been developed for many years within the I2E team, in order to develop doped cerine-based materials as interface materials to improve the catalytic properties of SOFC. anodes. The experimental approach was implemented to synthesize nanoparticles of pure cerium oxide (rod, cube or octahedron) respectively exposing the surfaces (110), (100) and (111). The results obtained showed that the orientation (100) was the most reactive, followed by the (110), then the (111) least reactive. On the basis of these experimental results, this thesis aims at developing a DFT approach to study the first step of the activation of hydrogen on a pure CeO2 surface, ie for each crystallographic orientation, the adsorption of the molecule on the surface then its dissociation to form hydroxyl groups: geometry and adsorption energy of the molecular and dissociated states, reaction path leading from the adsorption to the dissociation and the corresponding energies of activation. Then calculations will be made to evaluate the effect of a series of dopants (yttrium, gadolinium, samarium) on the mechanism of hydrogen activation and the corresponding activation energies Key words: SOFC, Ceria, hydrogen, DFT

Full textTo date, mankind is facing an energy and environmental crisis simultaneously due to mainly two factors: growth population and the dependency on fossil fuels. For this reason, the urgency of using renewables sources, e.g., solar energy, is a potential solution. For example, non-carbon based H2 production from solar light driven water photodissociation is a promising approach. Nevertheless, to target the mentioned objective, an ideal photocatalytic system (semiconductors, SCs) has to meet four main features: (1) capacity of absorption of visible-light (2) suitable VB and CB positions of SCs to undergo the two half reactions of water splitting (3) efficient use of absorbed photons and generated charges and (4) good stability over time. For this purpose, this thesis contributes to the design and optimization of three innovative materials: Au/g-C3N4, Au/TiO2 (P25)-gC3N4, and Au/TiO2 (NTs)-gC3N4 composites. Their photocatalytic activities were correlated with their physico-chemical properties. In addition some of these composites also exhibited interesting CO conversion yields. To highlight the efficiency on the as-prepared composites, comparative studies were tested using commercial, pertinent references, and physical mixtures homologs

Full textThe catalytic reforming of methane into hydrogen, for direct operation of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) on methane, was studied on anode materials such as NiO/CeO2, NiO-Y2O3-ZrO2 and La0.8Sr0.2TiO3+δ. The first group of catalysts was synthesized by two methods: the impregnation technique both in aqueous and organic media (commercial and laboratory made CeO2 and Y2O3-ZrO2), and also using sol-gel process. Lanthanumtitanium oxide host structure doped with strontium was prepared both by co-precipitation and sol-gel process. The method of preparation has an important effect on the physico-chemical properties of the synthesized catalysts and affects consequently both their catalytic performances in methane reforming and their resistance to poisoning by carbon deposition. In order to limit carbon formation on the catalytic surface and to increase the lifetime of catalysts during the catalytic reforming of methane, ceria supported nickel based-catalysts were doped with magnesium oxide (forming MgO-NiO solid solution) as well as with lanthanum oxide (La2O3-NiO). The obtained results show that the effect of promotion of NiO active phase by MgO and La2O3 decreases carbon deposition but also the catalytic performances. Physico-chemical properties and catalytic performances of NiO-Y2O3-ZrO2 (Ni-YSZ) prepared by the sol-gel process were compared with those of commercial (Aldrich and Jülich) materials having the same composition. The experimental results showed that materials synthesized by the sol gel method are more active in methane steam reforming than commercial catalysts while sol gel and commercial samples show similar performances in methane dry reforming. Amounts of graphitic carbon, although being higher for sol gel samples compared to commercial ones, remain low (< 2%). This carbon deposit provokes only a slight decrease of catalytic performances of sol gel prepared materials in methane dry reforming, probably by decreasing the number of active sites

Full textCerium dioxide is known as presenting a large variety of physico-chemical properties: it can be considered as a multifunctional compound. We present two studies linked to two types of applications in which cerium dioxide is involved as a multifunctional phase: catalytic behaviours of nanocomposite systems CeO2- CuOx for gas sensor applications, optical responses and chemical stability of CeO2-VO2 bilayers for infrared applications. This last study is connected with new technologies like bolometric applications (IR camera). The first study consisted in preparing nanostructured systems CeO2-CuOx from low temperature routes (soft chemistry including sol-gel, low temperature processes). This nanocomposites were characterized from X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy techniques, BET analyses. Infrared spectroscopy associated with homemade equipment was then used to follow catalytic reactions in presence of gas mixtures (air-CH4 or air-CO). A modelling approach is presented to interpret the IR analyses and the catalytic site saturation, observed in the case of ceria based systems. The CuOx –ceria samples were then compacted and inserted in a homemade electronic system to analyse the influence of CO or CH4 reducing gases, on surface conduction of CuOx-CeO2 pellets. The results obtained from FTIR analyses and electronic measurements are found to be coherent: the copper additions decrease the durability of catalytic responses of these nanocomposite systems, however they increase the sensibility in the case of low Cu additions. This might be interesting for gas sensor applications. The second study deals with CeO2-VO2 bilayers obtained from sputtering techniques and deposited in Si and SiO2 substrates. RF sputtering parameters were optimised to deposit first VO2 then CeO2 thin layers. The role of CeO2 was to insure a protection of the VO2 layer from aggressive environments, without degrading optical responses. Starting from a low cost target of V2O5 , layers of VO2 were obtained. We show that these bilayers present a good thermochromic optical contrast (insulating-metal transition at 68°C). Ceria is known as being transparent for IR wavelengths and opaque for UV radiation. However, the emissivity depends on ceria layer thickness. These new bilayers present a double interest: they can present increased chemical stability (improvement of lifetimes), and they can be used to modulate infrared emissivity responses in the case of IR detection

Full textThe study of the combination of polyoxometalates (POMs) with FeIII and organic ligands has been explored, leading to the isolation of unprecedented hybrid molecular species including the first POM « butterfly » compound. The exchange interactions between the magnetic centers have been quantified. These insoluble species, synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis, revealed to be active in heterogeneous catalysis in the oxidation of isobutane. The reaction of metallic ions MII with exogeneous ligands and a trilacunary polyanion (M = Cu, Ni) or the cyclic POM {P8W48} (M = Cu) has led to high nuclearity POM clusters (up to 20 3d centers). Their magnetic properties as well as their electrocatalytic activities for the reduction of dioxygen have been studied. Finally, the anisotropy induced by a polyanionic framework in mononuclear MnII complexes has been studied by multifrequency EPR spectroscopy and magnetism. These results show that POM systems are able to induce unprecedentedly high magnetic anisotropies considering MnII mononuclear complexes studied until now. DFT calculations were carried out in order to rationalise the different contributions implied

Full textN-heterocyclic carbene ligands have been described as interesting alternatives to tertiary phosphines in term of bonding and reactivity and have been therefore extensively studied as metallocarbene promotors. As a result, a large variety of homogeneous metal-NHC complexes have been developed and their impressive catalytic properties have been studied. However, such highly active homogeneous catalysts suffer from fast deactivation and separation problems from the reaction products. The immobilization of such complexes could overcome these drawbacks and that is the reason why this area has attracted much attention in the last ten years. The most common strategy for complexes immobilisation involves covalent grafting oforganosilane precursors onto solid support surfaces, via reaction with surface OH groups. Although this method provides a convenient way for introducing all kinds of organic moieties into solids, it does not permit the control of either their distribution in the final material or the nature of the surface species. The alternative methodology, to classical grafting, developed in this PhD project, is based on the design of organic-inorganic hybrid mesostructured materials containing NHC units along their pore channels or into their walls and the subsequent coordination on the NHC units with the Au organometallic precursor. These materials were prepared by sol-gel process using a templating route, via co-hydrolysis and co-polycondensation of an organotrialkoxysilane precursor and tetraethoxysilane. This strategy permits a control of: the ligands distribution into the silica matrix, the nature of the silica surface species and the organic moieties concentration. All the solids, from the starting hybrid material to the Au-NHC containing one, were fully characterized using various techniques: nitrogen adsorption-desorption at 77 K, transmission electron microscopy, small angle X-Ray diffraction, solid state NMR spectroscopy and elementary analysis. After screening the catalytic performances of these Au-NHC containing materials in several catalytic reactions (selective oxidation of alcohols, Suzuki cross-coupling and olefins diboration), their high catalytic activity in alcohols addition to alkynes reactions prompted us to study more deeply their catalytic behaviour (and that of their homogeneous homologues) in the reaction of methanol addition to 3-hexyne. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first use in catalysis of gold Nheterocyclic carbene complexes in this reaction

Full textThe present work deals with the solid gas interactions between lanthanum and cerium based phases (hydroxycarbonates LaOHCO3, CeOHCO3, carbonate La2O2CO3, and oxides La2O3, CeO2), and the gases CH4, CO and CO2. These interactions might be involved in gas sensor or catalytic applications. The main interest of these rare earth based systems resides in the fact that they are evolving materials in environmental conditions. The initial hydroxycarbonate phases are synthesized via specific precipitation sol-gel routes. The phases La2O2CO3, La2O3 and CeO2 are obtained by thermal treatment of the hydroxycarbonates. The various phases are first characterized by X-ray diffraction. Their crystal sizes and morphologies are then determined by scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM, TEM). The catalytic interactions of these polycrystalline solids with air-CH4 and air-CO mixtures are studied making use of Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy of emitted gases, at various temperatures (100 to 550°C), and as a function of time. The conversions of CH4 and CO into CO2 are observed from air – gas flows crossing through polycrystalline walls of the polycrystalline catalytic materials. The catalytic efficiency is defined as being proportional to the FTIR absorbed intensities due to the CO2 molecules. These intensities depend on time and temperature. The electrical analyses of compacted pellets are performed by electrical impedance spectrometry at various temperatures. For a given temperature, the conversions of CO and CH4 into CO2 reach a stabilized level after an initiation time. This stabilized level increases with temperature and reaches a maximum value depending on material nature and specific area. The conversion of CO is obtained at temperatures lower than the ones observed for CH4. These time dependent catalytic conversions are modeled from an elemental Avrami’s approach. The carbonatation kinetics are determined first by thermal and thermogravimetry analyses, at fixed temperatures, as a function of time. Two steps in carbonatation are evidenced. Using electrical impedance spectrometry as a function of time and temperature the electrical evolutions of lanthanum and cerium based systems subjected to carbonatation and decarbonatation are analyzed. As a first step, the electrical responses associated with the phase modifications of the hydroxycarbonate phases LaOHCO3 and CeOHCO3 during thermal decomposition under air are determined. Then, the electrical signals due to carbonatation and decarbonatation processes are analyzed: the ionic mobility of CO3 2- ions in the carbonate solid is evaluated. The evolving series LaOHCO3-La2O2CO3 - La2O3 might be of a high interest in gas sensor systems, working at variable temperatures and sensitive to CH4, CO or CO2

Full textRoad transport is one of the main sources of NOx emitted into the atmosphere. The majority of this pollution is concentrated in urbanized areas. The permanent exposure to the exhaust gases has serious consequences for human health and for that, emission standards become more stringent. The modern technologies present in automotive need the continuous control of the exhaust composition. The variations of temperature, composition of exhaust gas, vibrations and other factors require long life robust control systems. In this work, we present the procedure of fabrication and characterization of an electrochemical sensor with three electrodes that can fulfill the demands of industrial applications in automotive industry. Manufacturing by screen-Printing technology allows producing low-Cost sensor with high reproducibility in industrial process.The principle of our sensor is based on galvanostatic polarization of a gold sensing electrode allowing the selective detection of NO2 without interference to other gases such as CO and NO. In order to increase stability, and to decrease the response and recovery time of the sensor, a new Au composite sensitive electrode was developed. The electrochemical reduction of oxygen on gold and gold-Based electrodes was then studied, to propose a detailed mechanism of NO2 detection

Twos systems based on oxides of Ce(+IV) and of Nd(+III) are studied : a multiphase and nonostructured system, obtained by soft chemistry, at low temperature, starting from oxalates and of acetates ; a ceramics with micrometric granulometry, obtained after sintering of the nanostructured powders, to 1600°C. The structures are elucidated by DRX. Morphology is chacterized by MET coupled with the EDAX. The electric properties according to the composition in the temperature range 40-700°C are measured by SIE. With the top of 400°C, the contributions of the bulks grain boundaries and electodes are separate. Eponent n of model CPE is related to the microstructure. Conductivity reaches a maximum with neodymium 10%. The catalytic properties are studied for air-methane mixtures by spectroscopy IRTF. Measurements of conversion of methane show that these catalysts are very active at 350°C
