In the present work, a series of CaTi1-xFexO3-d (0 < x < 0.5) materials are prepared using a modified Pechini method based on citric acid and a polyol as chelating agents. The synthesis conditions are optimized with respect to the specific surface area and phase purity by varying polyols (ethylene glycol, glycerol, and 1.6-hexanediol) and the ratio between citric acid, polyols, and cations. The impact of the polyols and the iron content (up to 40 mol % on the B site) is studied with respect to the oxygen exchange rate, reducibility using H2-TPR, and catalytic performance for methane total oxidation. A correlation between the oxygen exchange rate studied using 18O exchange in powdered samples of CaTi1-xFexO3-d (0 < x < 0.5) and ferric sites determined using Mössbauer spectroscopy and H2-TPR is established. The oxygen activation and diffusion in CaTi1-xFexO3-d (0 < x < 0.5) continuously increase in the studied range of Ti substitution. The methane oxidation performance does not increase above x = 0.3, showing that methane oxidation is not limited by surface oxygen activation and CH4 is activated by specific iron sites in Fe-doped perovskites.

Abstract
In the present work, a series of CaTi1-xFexO3-d (0 < x < 0.5) materials are prepared using a modified Pechini method based on citric acid and a polyol as chelating agents. The synthesis conditions are optimized with respect to the specific surface area and phase purity by varying polyols (ethylene glycol, glycerol, and 1.6-hexanediol) and the ratio between citric acid, polyols, and cations. The impact of the polyols and the iron content (up to 40 mol % on the B site) is studied with respect to the oxygen exchange rate, reducibility using H2-TPR, and catalytic performance for methane total oxidation. A correlation between the oxygen exchange rate studied using 18O exchange in powdered samples of CaTi1-xFexO3-d (0 < x < 0.5) and ferric sites determined using Mössbauer spectroscopy and H2-TPR is established. The oxygen activation and diffusion in CaTi1-xFexO3-d (0 < x < 0.5) continuously increase in the studied range of Ti substitution. The methane oxidation performance does not increase above x = 0.3, showing that methane oxidation is not limited by surface oxygen activation and CH4 is activated by specific iron sites in Fe-doped perovskites.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
