Direct measurement of enthalpy and entropy changes in NH3 promoted O2 activation over Cu−CHA at low temperature
Journal article, 2021

Oxygen activation is a key step in the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides with ammonia (NH -SCR) over Cu-chabazite. We present direct measurements of oxygen adsorption at low temperatures over [NH −Cu−NH ] complexes and framework-bound Cu species in Cu-chabazite with Si/Al=14 using isothermal microcalorimetry combined with mass spectrometry. The enthalpy change for O adsorption over [NH −Cu−NH ] complexes at 200 °C is determined to be −79 kJ/mol. By fitting a Langmuir isotherm, the corresponding entropy change is determined to be −142 J/(mol*K) at 10 % O . The results show that O adsorption at low temperatures over [NH −Cu−NH ] complexes is more facile than on framework-bound Cu species. The experimental results are in agreement with density functional theory calculations showing a lower barrier for O activation over the [NH −Cu−NH ] complexes as compared to the framework-bound Cu species.
