Abstract

Abstract: Size effects are a well-documented phenomenon in heterogeneous catalysis, typically attributed to alterations in geometric and electronic properties. In this study, we investigate the influence of catalyst size in the preparation of carbon nanotube (CNT) and the hydrogenation of 4,6-dinitroresorcinol (DNR) using Fe₂O₃ and Pt catalysts, respectively. Various Fe₂O₃/Al₂O₃ catalysts were synthesized for CNT growth through catalytic chemical vapor deposition. Our findings reveal a significant influence of Fe₂O₃ nanoparticle size on the structure and yield of CNT. Specifically, CNT produced with Fe₂O₃/Al₂O₃ containing 28% (mass) Fe loading exhibits abundant surface defects, an increased area for metal-particle immobilization, and a high carbon yield. This makes it a promising candidate for DNR hydrogenation. Utilizing this catalyst support, we further investigate the size effects of Pt nanoparticles on DNR hydrogenation. Larger Pt catalysts demonstrate a preference for 4,6-diaminoresorcinol generation at (1 0 0) sites, whereas smaller Pt catalysts are more susceptible to electronic properties. The kinetics insights obtained from this study have the potential to pave the way for the development of more efficient catalysts for both CNT synthesis and DNR hydrogenation.
