Radiation and catalytic properties of the n-ZrO2–n-Al2O3 systems in the process of hydrogen production from water

Abstract

The influence of the interaction between n-ZrO₂ and n-Al₂O₃ on their radiation and catalytic activities in the process of hydrogen production from water is investigated. It is established that, as a result of the interaction between n-ZrO₂ and n-Al₂O₃, the new phase n-ZrO₂–n-Al₂O₃ is formed, which leads to the reduction of radiation and catalytic activity in comparison with separate components and the additive sum of their activities. Regularities of dependences of radiation and catalytic activity from the maintenance of components of the n-ZrO₂–n-Al₂O₃ system are received in the process of hydrogen production. Mechanisms of processes of energy transfer and transmission in the studied nanodimensional systems are offered.
