Abstract
Methane combustion was conducted over Pd catalysts supported on medium (ZSM-5, ferrierite, TNU-9, TNU-10) and large (USY, mordenite, beta) pore zeolites. Among the catalysts studied here, Pd/H-TNU-10 exhibited the highest combustion activity, together with excellent durability in the presence of water vapor. A combination of TEM and Pd K-edge XAFS measurements reveals the formation of highly dispersed PdO particles within the TNU-10 pores. This is also the case of Pd/H-ferrierite, while frequently there are large particles (60–100 Å) on its outer surface. In contrast, most of PdO on zeolites other than these two medium pore materials were found to exist as aggregated particles (>50 Å) on their outer crystallite surface. It appears that zeolite structures with intersecting 10- and 8-ring pores may be better supports for stabilizing nanometric PdO particles than those with the uniform 10-ring size or with the 12-ring pore system.
