Abstract

By using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), it was possible to elucidate edge-on views of the surface atomic structure of sulfated zirconia and Fe/Mn promoted sulfated-zirconia catalysts. The results indicate that the presence of sulfate groups and Fe/Mn species not only stabilizes the tetragonal zirconia phase, but also induces the formation of well-faceted small zirconia crystallites. The shape of the sulfated zirconia crystallites exhibits two types of surfaces: long smooth and relatively few short rough planes, with the long smooth (110) plane being clearly predominant. HRTEM images of this plane revealed the presence of an adsorbed sulfate layer. On the other hand, the presence of Fe and Mn species were apparent on the (001) and (110) surfaces of zirconia particles.
