Unter Verwendung von Dichtefunktionaltheorie werden die katalytischen Eigenschaften von Cerdioxidoberflächen mit verschiedenen Terminierungen untersucht. Cerdioxid wird auch als Trägermaterial in der heterogenen Katalyse eingesetzt, um Aktivität, Selektivität und Stabilität der aktiven Komponente zu erhöhen. In dieser Arbeit werden geträgerte Vanadiumoxidcluster diskutiert. Dabei wird die oxidative Dehydrierung von Methanol als Modellreaktion zur Aktivierung von C-H-Bindungen genutzt. Ceroxidpartikel werden oft in wässriger Lösung synthetisiert. Damit hängt die Form der Nanokristallite direkt von der relativen Stabilität der unterschiedlichen Terminierungen in der Gegenwart von Wasser ab. Außerdem ist Wasser an zahlreichen Reaktionen entweder als Produkt, Edukt oder Lösungsmittel beteiligt. Aus diesem Grund werden auch die Wasser-Oberflächenwechselwirkungen untersucht. Des Weiteren wird die Genauigkeit von drei verschiedenen Funktionalen (B3LYP, HSE und PBE+U) durch den Vergleich mit experimentellen Daten evaluiert. Diese beinhalten Barrieren, die mittels Temperatur-programmierter Desorptionsspektroskopie erhalten wurden, und Schwingungsspektren. / Density functional theory is applied to study the catalytic properties of ceria surfaces with different terminations. Ceria is also used as a support material in heterogeneous catalysis to improve activity, selectivity, and stability of the active component. In this work, supported vanadia clusters are discussed. The oxidative dehydrogenation of methanol is used as a model reaction for C–H bond activation. Ceria catalysts are often prepared in aqueous solution. As a result, the shape of ceria nanocrystallites depends on the relative stability of the different surface terminations in the presence of water. Furthermore, many reactions involve water either as a product, as a reagent, or as a solvent. Hence, water–surface interactions are studied as well. Furthermore, the accuracy of three different functionals (B3LYP, HSE, and PBE+U) is assessed by comparison to experimental data such as barriers obtained via temperature-programmed desorption and infrared spectra.

Em ultimas décadas, a conversão de alcanos leves em suas correspondentes olefinas tem sido objeto de intensas pesquisas, impulsionadas inclusive pelo aumento crescente da demanda do propileno como um importante produto petroquímico. A desidrogenação oxidativa (ODH) do propano representa uma via alternativa promissor para a produção de propeno, ao apresentar-se como uma reação exotérmica e não limitada termodinamicamente. Diferentes óxidos suportados ou mistos têm sido desenvolvidos com a finalidade de aumentar a atividade e seletividade em relação as olefinas. Metais alcalinos são importantes agentes promotores que proporcionam uma melhor seletividade as olefinas devido a redução da acidez e aumento da basicidade da superfície do catalisador. A proposta deste presente trabalho foi desenvolver metodologias de síntese de catalisadores de oxido de vanádio suportado em aluminas de diferentes fases cristalinas e dopados com sódio ou potássio a fim de avalia-los em testes catalíticos de desidrogenação oxidativa do propano. Para tanto, foram utilizadas as seguintes técnicas de caracterização: volumetria N2, difratometria de raios X (DRX) e redução a temperatura programada (RTP). As características acidas e/ou básicas dos suportes e catalisadores foram avaliadas pelas reações de decomposição de isopropanol. / In recent decades, the conversion of light alkanes to their corresponding olefins has been the subject of intense research, mainly driven by the increasing demand of propylene as an important petrochemical product. Oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) propane is a promising alternative way to propylene production, which it is presented as an exothermic reaction and not limited thermodynamically. Different supported or mixed oxides have been developed in order to increase the activity and selectivity to olefins. Alkali metals are important promoters, which provide improved selectivity to olefins due to reduction of acidity and increasing basicity of the catalyst surface. The purpose of the present study was to develop synthesis methods of vanadium oxide catalysts supported on alumina of the different crystalline phases and doped with sodium or potassium in order to evaluate them in catalytic tests of propane oxidative dehydrogenation. For in such a way, the following characterization techniques were used: N2 volumetry, X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and temperature programmed reduction (TPR). The properties acid and/or basic of supports and catalysts were evaluated by the isopropanol decomposition reaction.
