要旨

The presence of lead in three-way converters (TWC) is considered to be one of the most important causes of catalyst deactivation: its poisoning effect has been ascribed to the irreversible interaction with the catalytically active metal supported on the washcoat, leading to the formation of stable inert alloys. This paper considers the lethal poisonous effect played by lead under certain conditions (e.g., at the high temperatures easily reached by a working catalyst) also on the alumina support (washcoat). The analysis was carried out on pure transition aluminas (A samples) and on Pb-containing alumina systems (APb samples). Structural and morphological studies were carried out by BET, XRD and (high-resolution) TEM, whereas surface features of pure and Pb-containing aluminas were analysed by in-situ FTIR spectroscopy. Data are reported for: (i) the adsorption of CO at room temperature (RT) (reveals strong Lewis acidity) and at 77 K (reveals total Lewis acidity); (ii) the RT adsorption of CO2 (reveals both Lewis acidity and, in the 1900–1200 cm−1 spectral region, surface basicity). It could be concluded that the presence of Pb on transition alumina supports does not modify appreciably the surface area nor the range of existence of the various crystal phases (i.e., there are no physical effects), but selectively eliminates both strong Lewis acidic properties, and basic properties of the alumina support (surface chemical effects).

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
