Abstract
A novel approach to tremendously influence the gas adsorption behavior of heterogeneous metal catalysts consists of adding a small quantity of an ionic liquid during the catalyst synthesis yielding a supported catalyst with an ionic liquid layer (SCILL). Herein, SCILL-type catalysts derived from silica-supported palladium were characterized by means of ICP-OES, TPR, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XANES/EXAFS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), hydrogen pulse chemisorption, and differential scanning hydrogen adsorption calorimetry. EXAFS analysis of SCILL-type palladium catalysts did not indicate significant changes in the bulk properties of Pd compared to untreated Pd/SiO2, the results are in good agreement with metallic Pd. XPS analysis revealed a more oxidized Pd surface if Pd/SiO2 was treated with ionic liquids. In the case of [BMIM][N(CN)2], Pd(II) species were present in part indicating a complexation of palladium by [N(CN)2]−. Hydrogen uptakes determined by pulse chemisorption varied between 3...
