Formation of catalytically active layers on the surface of polymetallic alloys

详细

A new method for the synthesis of catalysts on polymetallic supports via the formation of intermetallic (aluminide) layer on the support surface followed by leaching and stabilization of the layer has been proposed. The intermetallic layer structure and distribution of elements in the layer were studied by scanning electron microscope considering a nickel chromium stainless-steel grid as an example. The morphology and elemental composition of the active phase on the catalyst surface were studied. The complex structure of this phase was found to consist of two types of entities with different composition located on the continuous highly porous substrate. The catalyst sample was tested in deep oxidation of CO and propane and demonstrated high activity. The developed method can be used to obtain new high-performance polymetallic catalysts.
