Abstract
Removal of formaldehyde (HCHO) has recently been attracted much attention, and completely catalytic oxidation at room temperature has been identified as one of the efficient routes for solving this problem. In this research, we show a successful preparation of Ag-loaded octahedral molecular sieve from solvent-free route (Ag/OMS-2-S), which was characterized by XRD, SEM, HRTEM, BET, XPS, ICP-OES, H 2 -TPR, and HCHO-TPD techniques to investigate the factors influencing the catalytic activity. Very interestingly, HCHO is completely converted into CO 2 at room temperature over the Ag/OMS-2-S catalyst. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time for complete oxidation of HCHO at room temperature over all the Ag-based catalysts. Relating to the characterizations, it is suggested that the active oxygen species play a key factor that contributes to the excellent performance of the Ag/OMS-2-S. In addition, the Ag/OMS-2-S catalyst is also very stable and selective. Combination of extraordinary activity and excellent stability of the Ag/OMS-2-S catalysts might offer an alternative way to develop new efficient catalysts for the removal of air pollutants. • Octahedral molecular sieve was prepared from solvent-free route (OMS-2-S). • Ag was loaded on OMS-2-S (Ag/OMS-2-S). • Ag/OMS-2-S was successful for complete oxidation of HCHO at room temperature. • Ag/OMS-2-S has abundant active oxygen species contributed to the excellent activity.
