Assessing the Brønsted acidity of CoAPO-18 catalysts by using N2 as molecular probe

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Whilst there is merit in using NH3 or CO as probes to determine the surface acidity of solid catalysts by thermal and/or spectroscopic means, we show that, following Wakabayashi et al., quantitative spectroscopic changes accompanying the adsorption of dinitrogen offer more reliable assessments. Subtle differences arising from the use of N2 as between CoALPO and zeolitic (aluminosilicate) catalysts are also discussed.
