Cobalt in strontium titanate based perovskites: preparation, characterization and role in the photocatalytic propene partial oxidation
2016
Strontium titanate perovskite (SrTiO3) and analogous materials in which Y partially substitutes Sr have been prepared as basis to integrate Co in the structure. The Co inserrtion has been performed by wet impregnation or coprecipitation methods. The obtained powders have been physico-chemically characterized and tested as photocatalysts in the propene partial oxidation by using a solar simulating reactor. Correlation between photocatalytic performance and physicochemical characteristics of the different catalysts allows to assess a key role of local nanostructuring of CoOx sites on the selectivity and distribution of products.
SrTiO 3 -based perovskites: Preparation, characterization and photocatalytic activity in gas–solid regime under simulated solar irradiation
2015
Strontium titanate-based perovskites have been prepared in the presence of Y and Co with the aim to substitute Sr and Ti, respectively, in the ST crystalline structure. The obtained samples have been characterized by XRD, Raman spectroscopy, FE-SEM, XPS and tested as photocatalysts in two gas-solid regime reactions: (i) 2-propanol complete mineralization and (ii) propene partial oxidation, using a system simulating solar irradiation. All the tested samples resulted active as photocatalysts but with significant differences. The lattice substitution of Sr by Y displays a beneficial effect on the 2-propanol photodegradation. Conversely, the partial presence of cobalt on the ST surface, as Co-o…
