Abstract:
Nanostructured powders xFe/nano-Al2O3 with the Fe loading of x = 0.0 – 5.0 wt% were obtained using laser vaporization by CO2 laser. XRF, XRD, HRTEM, PL and UV–Vis DRS techniques were employed to investigate physicochemical, structural and optical properties of the synthesized nanopowders with the average particle size of 9 nm. Nanopowders xFe/nano-Al2O3 as model catalysts were tested in isobutane dehydrogenation reaction. The results obtained were compared with similar data for the xFe/γPb-Al2O3 systems synthesized by the conventional sol–gel method. According to XRD and UV–Vis DRS data, in the series of xFe/nano-Al2O3 samples a great part of Fe3+ ions is in the disordered environment of subsurface layers of Al2O3 nanocrystallites, predominantly in the tetrahedral coordination. In distinction to samples of the xFe/γPb-Al2O3 series, in the case of nanostructured xFe/nano-Al2O3 powders the formation of Fe2O3 phase does not occur at any concentrations of iron or conditions of testing. The analysis of the PL spectra of xFe/nano-Al2O3 powders also showed the presence of surface sites of Fe3+ ions, which were not detected for xFe/γPb-Al2O3. Catalytic testing of the xFe/nano-Al2O3 series samples in isobutane dehydrogenation revealed the formation of the iron active sites that ensure catalytic activity of the samples. Differences in the catalytic properties of FeOx/ Al2O3 samples obtained by the sol–gel method and laser vaporization are related to different states of Fe3+ ions. Thus, the xFe/nano-Al2O3 nanopowders, in contrast to xFe/γPb-Al2O3, contain a large amount of active Fe3+ sites. These sites, being involved in the dehydrogenation reaction, are present predominantly on the surface of the nanopowders.
