چکیده
در سال‌های اخیر به دلیل توجه افکار عمومی به مسئله محیط‌زیست از طرفی و قوانین سخت‌گیرانه وضع‌شده برای حفاظت از محیط‌زیست از طرف دیگر، موجب شده است که روش‌های دوست‌دار محیط برای تولید نانوذرات مورد توجه قرار گیرند. از این‌رو در تحقیق پیش رو نانوذارت یک اکسید ترکیبی شامل سریم و زیرکونیم (Cex-Zr1-xO2) در محیط آب فوق‌بحرانی تولید شدند. نانوذرات تولیدشده به‌کمک آزمون‌های مختلف نظیر پراش پرتو ایکس (XRD)، طیف‌سنجی فروسرخ با تبدیل فوریه (FTIR)، میکروسکوپ الکترونی روبشی (SEM) و میکروسکوپ الکترونی عبوری (TEM) مورد ارزیابی قرار گرفتند. نتایج به‌دست‌آمده از این آزمون‌ها نشان داد که نانوذراتی ریز با متوسط اندازه nm3±13، با درجه بلورینگی بالا و توزیع اندازه ذرات و سطح ویژه مناسب با روش آب فوق‌بحرانی تولید شده است. همچنین با استفاده از آزمون کاهش برنامه‌ریزی‌شده‌ دمایی توسط هیدروژن (H2-TPR) ظرفیت ذخیره‌سازی اکسیژن بالایی در حدود mmol O2/g 25/1 تخمین زده شد. با توجه به این نتایج، نانوذرات به‌دست‌آمده می‌تواند گزینه مناسبی برای کاتالیست فرآیندهای اکسیداسیون و همچنین کاتالیست سه‌گانه مورداستفاده جهت کاهش آلایندگی گازهای خروجی از اگزوز خودروها باشد.

چکیده English

Research subject: Due to the public's attention on the environmental issues as well as strict environmental regulations, the eco-friendly methods for nanoparticles have received considerable attention in the recent years.

Research approach: In the present study, a mixed oxide nanoparticles containing cerium and zirconium (Cex-Zr1-xO2) was fabricated the in supercritical water (SCW) medium. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by various analyses, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Main results: The results of the analyses demonstrated that fine nanoparticles with mean size of 13±3 nm, with high crystallinity, and with appropriate size distribution and surface area were synthesized by SCW. Moreover, an oxygen storage capacity (OSC) as high as 1.25 mmol O2/g was estimated for Cex-Zr1-xO2 nanoparticles through temperature programmed reduction in hydrogen (H2-TPR). According to the obtained results, the Cex-Zr1-xO2 nanoparticles could be a suitable candidate for catalysts of oxidation processes as well as three-way catalyst for control of automotive exhaust gases.
