Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Lacoo3 Is a Promising Catalyst for the Dry Reforming of Benzene Used as a Surrogate of Biomass Tar(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2024) Çağlar, Başar; Üner, DenizTar build-up is one of the bottlenecks of biomass gasification processes. Dry reforming of tar is an alternative solution if the oxygen chemical potential on the catalyst surface is at a sufficient level. For this purpose, an oxygen-donor perovskite, $LaCoO_3$, was used as a catalyst for the dry reforming of tar. To circumvent the complexity of the tar and its constituents, the benzene molecule was chosen as a model compound. Dry reforming of benzene vapor on the $LaCoO_3$ catalyst was investigated at temperatures of 600, 700, and 800 °C; at $CO_2/C_6H_6$ ratios of 3, 6, and 12; and at space velocities of 14,000 and 28,000 h–1. The conventional Ni(15 wt.%)/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst was also used as a reference material to determine the relative activity of the $LaCoO_3$ catalyst. Different characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction, $N_2$ adsorption-desorption, temperature-programmed reduction, and oxidation were used to determine the physicochemical characteristics of the catalysts. The findings demonstrated that the $LaCoO_3$ catalyst has higher $CO_2$ conversion, higher $H_2$ and CO yields, and better stability than the Ni(15 wt.%)/γ-$Al_2O_3$ catalyst. The improvement in activity was attributed to the strong capacity of $LaCoO_3$ for oxygen exchange. The transfer of lattice oxygen from the surface of the $LaCoO_3$ catalyst facilitates the oxidation of carbon and other surface species and leads to higher conversion and yields.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Electrooxidation of Glycerol on Monometallic and Bimetallic Catalysts-Containing Porous Carbon Cloth Electrodes in an Alkaline Medium(Electrochemical Society, Inc., 2021) Çağlar, Başar; El Hassan, Youssef; Basak, Oğuzhan; Hepbaşlı, ArifThe electrooxidation of glycerol was studied on monometallic (Pt/C, Co/C, Ni/C, Cu/C) and bimetallic catalysts (PtCo/C, PtNi/C, PtCu/C) - containing porous carbon cloth electrodes in an alkaline medium to gain insight about the potentials of electrodes for simultaneous hydrogen and chemical production. Physical and chemical properties of catalysts were characterized by using X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy while electrochemical characteristics of electrodes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry, choronoamperometry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Bimetallic catalysts-containing electrodes showed higher glycerol electrooxidation activities and stabilities compared to monometallic catalysts-containing electrodes. The highest activity was observed on the PtCu/C-containing electrode due to its higher electrochemical active surface area and low kinetic and mass transfer resistance. It was also found that the presence of porous carbon cloth had a considerable effect on the glycerol electrooxidation activity.
