Microfabrication Enables Quantification of Interfacial Activity in Thermal Catalysis

et al. 2021

A myriad of heterogeneous catalysts comprises multiple phases that need to be precisely structured to exert their maximal contribution to performance through electronic and structural interactions at their peripheries. In view of the nanometric, tridimensional, and anisotropic nature of these materials, a quantification of the interface and the impact of catalytic sites located there on the global performance is a highly challenging task. Consequently, the true origin of catalysis often remains subject of debate even for widely studied materials. Herein, an integrated strategy based on microfabricated catalysts and a custom‐designed reactor is introduced for determining interfacial contributions upon catalytic activity assessment under process‐relevant conditions, which can be easily implemented in the common catalysis research infrastructure and will accelerate the rational design of multicomponent heterogeneous catalysts for diverse applications. The method is validated by studying the high‐pressure continuous‐flow hydrogenation of CO and CO2 over Cu–ZnO catalysts, revealing linear correlations between the methanol formation rate and the interface between the metal and the oxide. Characterization of fresh and used materials points to the model catalyst preparation as the current challenge of the methodology that can be addressed through further development of nanotechnological tools.

Sharp-edge diffraction under Gaussian illumination: a paraxial revisitation of Miyamoto-Wolf’s theory

A "genuinely" paraxial version of Miyamoto-Wolf's theory aimed at dealing with sharp-edge diffraction under Gaussian beam illumination is presented. The theoretical analysis is carried out in such a way the well known Young-Maggi-Rubinowicz boundary diffraction wave theory can be extended to deal with Gaussian beams in an apparently straightforward way. The key for achieving such an extension is the introduction of suitable "complex angles" within the integral representations of the geometrical and BDW components of the total diffracted wavefield. Surprisingly enough, such a simple (although not rigorously justified) mathematical generalization seems to work well within the complex Gaussian realm. The resulting integrals provide meaningful quantities that, once suitably combined, give rise to predictions which are in perfect agreement with results already obtained in the past. An interesting and still open theoretical question about how to evaluate "Gaussian geometrical shadows" for arbitrarily shaped apertures is also discussed.
