Abstract

Nanostructured titanium dioxides were synthesized via various post-treatments of titanate nanofibers obtained from titanium precursors by hydrothermal reactions. The microstructures of TiO2 and supported Ru/TiO2 catalysts were characterized with X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, and nitrogen adsorption isotherms. The phase structure, particle size, morphology, and specific surface area were determined. The supported Ru catalysts were applied for the selective methanation of CO in a hydrogen-rich stream. The results indicated that the Ru catalyst supported on rutile and TiO2-B exhibited higher catalytic performance than the counterpart supported on anatase, which suggested the distinct interaction between Ru nanoparticles and TiO2 resulting from different crystalline phases and morphology.
