Abstract
The structural and compositional changes of the partially reduced iron oxide Fe2O3 and 3% chromium oxide-modified iron oxide (3% Cr2O3/Fe2O3) catalysts before, during, and after the water gas shift (WGS) reaction are reported. The measurements were performed by collecting X-ray absorption fine structure, X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy data on the catalysts and the mass spectrometry data of reactants and products, all done in a single experiment. These materials demonstrated marked structural disorder and compositional heterogeneity that are peaked in their catalytically active states. The main findings revealed in the result of combining multiple techniques include the role of Cr in stabilizing the low-temperature γ-Fe2O3 phase, the nature of the disordered phase in the active state of the catalysts, and the possible deactivation mechanism.
