The effects of Cu and Zn co-doping on Ni-Mn-O spinel-structured NTC ceramics were investigated. Dense Cu and Zn co-doped Ni 0.5 Mn 2.5 O 4 spinel-structured ceramics were prepared from mixed oxalate-derived powders. XPS analysis revealed that in the co-doped material Cu x Zn 1.0 Ni 0.5 Mn 1.5-x O 4

โฆ Synopsis
Cu 0.5 Zn 0.5 Mn 2 O 4 spinel-lattice catalyst has been studied for methanol decomposition by in situ infrared (IR) spectroscopy analysis and micro reactor study. Methoxy species is formed by dissociative adsorption of methanol which subsequently converts into formate species via step-wise dehydrogenation process. The activities of surface intermediates on reduced CuO, ZnO and Mn 2 O 3 catalysts are strongly affected by the ease of hydrogen desorption from the site, the strength of C-H bonding and the availability of oxygen. A synergism between Cu and MnO whereby the Cu serves as a sink for reverse hydrogen atoms spillover from MnO has been proposed. The micro reactor analysis correlates well with the IR results.
