Sledování vývoje a stability kovových nanočástic v zeolitech pomocí elektronové mikroskopie s in-situ zahříváním

Krakl, František

Zeolites, with their unique characteristics, such as microporosity, thermal stability, and shape selectivity, are used as a support for metal nanoparticles to enhance their catalytic properties. Metal nanoparticles have a large attainable surface in relation to their mass, thus volume. There are several ways of supporting metal on zeolites, such as ion-exchange, impregnation, or direct encapsulation during synthesis. The latter method provides the stability of metal, however, even the zeolite-encapsulated nanoparticles are not fully sinter-resistant, especially at high temperatures. Insights into the sintering mechanism is crucial for improvement of stability of supported metal catalysts. In this work platinum nanoparticles were directly introduced into chabazite (CHA) zeolite during hydrothermal synthesis. The goal of this thesis was to understand metal nanoparticle sintering mechanisms. the role of aluminium content in zeolite framework in the stabilisation of metal nanoparticles was described. The structure of prepared materials was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was used to determine the elemental composition of the materials and their distribution in crystals was mapped by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy in a scanning transmission...
