Thermal Sintering and Phosphorus Poisoning of a Layered Diesel Oxidation Catalyst

Oliver Kröcher, Davide Ferri

The tightening emission regulations have led to the development of commercial DOCs with zoned or layered formulations allowing to cover a wide range of functionalities (i.e. CO, HC and NO oxidation as well as HC or NOx trap). Aging phenomena in such comple ...

Design guidelines for next-generation sodium-nickel-chloride batteries

Daniel Alexander Landmann

Sodium-nickel-chloride batteries have a proven track record for backup power applications, but also show great potential for large-scale stationary electricity storage currently dominated by lithium-ion batteries. While lithium-ion cells rely on critical c ...

Aging of industrial Fe-zeolite based catalysts for nitrous oxide abatement in nitric acid production plants

Oliver Kröcher, Davide Ferri, Filippo Buttignol, Pierdomenico Biasi

The influence of hydrothermal aging on the structural and catalytic properties of two commercial Fe-exchanged zeolite catalysts (Fe-FER and Fe-ZSM-5) in the extruded form employed for the removal of N2O from the exhaust of nitric acid production plants has ...

Reduction of PdO/Al2O3 in Liquid Cyclohexane Followed In Situ by ATR-IR, High-Energy XRD, and XAS

Oliver Kröcher, Davide Ferri, Thibault Xavier Florian Fovanna

Supported Pd-based catalysts used in heterogeneously catalyzed liquid phase processes often undergo an activation step through reduction of the oxide phase or of the oxidic passivation layer prior to reaction. An oxidized Pd/Al2O3 catalyst was reduced by u ...

Mapping Spatial Distribution of Pores in an Additively Manufactured Gold Alloy Using Neutron Microtomography

Roland Logé, Jamasp Jhabvala, Hossein Ghasemi Tabasi

A crucial criterion for the quality of the additively manufactured parts is the porosity content for achieving an acceptable final relative density. In addition, for jewelry applications, visible pores are unacceptable at or in the vicinity of the surface. ...
