Abstract

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), infrared (IR), electron microscopy (EM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDAX) studies of in various ways prepared Ga/H-ZSM-5, Pt-Ga/H-ZSM-5 as well as Ga-silicate and Pt/Ga-silicate have been performed. The external surface of the zeolite crystal was originally strongly enriched with a Ga2O3 phase the dispersion of which depends on the preparation as well. Ga reduction, evidenced by XPS Ga 3d line shifts, occurred during reduction and/or the reaction mixture treatment and it was accompanied by migration of GaI cations into the zeolite channels. The migration of unreduced GaIII species via solid-state reactions is less pronounced. The gallium reduction and migration is dramatically promoted by platinum introduced into both Ga/H-ZSM-5 and Ga-silicate; the reduction degree in the last sample is limited by the concentration of the extra-framework GaIII ions. Platinum was shown to be finely dispersed in highly acidic Pt-Ga/H-ZSM-5 while most of the platinum formed aggregates (30–50A˚) on the external surface of Ga-silicate. IR of adsorbed hydrogen and pyridine confirmed that reduction results in the formation of new strong Lewis acidic sites. Along with GaI-HZ and GaIIHZ structures mixed Pt-Ga particles located within the zeolite structure are most likely to be responsible for the dramatic enhancement of the aromatic selectivity found with Pt-Ga/zeolite catalysts (see Part II).

      The SEM observations confirmed the well morphologic inheritance of Ga-impregnated ZSM-5 from their supports, and the subsequent regulation of Ga species by post-treatments showed barely influence on particle morphology (Fig. S2). Due to the gallium precursors (Ga[(H2O)6]3+) in the impregnating solution are larger than the micropore channels of ZSM-5 [52], the formed oxide species after calcination will mainly deposite on the external surface of ZSM-5 particles, and the MZ5 support with abundant mesopores and obviously larger external surface could be beneficial for higher dispersion of Ga2O3 than Z5. In spite of this, bulky crystals of rod-like Ga2O3 were still found stuck within mesopore defects of Ga/MZ5 (Fig. 2a and d), indicating the dominated external surface deposition.

      Fig. 5(a) and (b) shows the Ga 2p3/2 core level spectra of fresh and air-regenerated spent catalysts, respectively. For the fresh samples, the peak position about 1118.6 eV is characteristic for Ga3+ ions [33–35]. It is emphasized that the spent catalysts after air regeneration display the same Ga 2p3/2 although slightly toward lower BE value (1118.2 eV).
