Abstract:

A series of Ce1-xMnxO2 catalysts with different Mn doping amounts were prepared by coprecipitation method and applied to catalyze direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate(DMC) from CO2 and methanol. The effects of surface properties of Ce1-xMnxO2 on the direct synthesis of DMC from CO2 and methanol were studied by means of X-ray diffraction(XRD), N2 adsorption-desorption, transmission electron microscopy(TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and programmed temperature desorption(TPD). The results indicated that Mn ions successfully entered into the lattice of CeO2 and formed a uniform solid solution. With the increase of Mn doping, the number of weak acid and base sites on the catalyst surface decreased gradually, while the number of medium and strong acid and base sites increased. Meanwhile, the oxygen vacancy content on the catalyst surface increased first and then decreased with the increase of Mn doping. When the doping of Mn was low, the ratio of Mn2+ on the catalyst surface was high, which was beneficial for the reaction of Ce4++ Mn2+→Ce3++ Mn3+ and the formation of oxygen vacancies. With further increase of Mn doping, the ratio of Mn4+ on the catalyst surface increase, which was conducive to the reaction of Ce3++Mn4+→Ce4++Mn3+, resulting in the decrease of oxygen vacancy. The catalytic activity of Ce1-xMnxO2 catalyst was linearly correlated with the content of oxygen vacancy on surface.
