Abstract
Four kinds of cryptomelane-type octahedral molecular sieve (OMS)-2-X (the X represents the molar ratio of KMnO4/MnAc2) were prepared as catalytic materials for ozone decomposition through a one-step hydrothermal reaction of KMnO4 and MnAc2, by changing their molar ratios. These samples were characterized by N2 adsorption–desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), temperature programmed reduction by H2 (H2-TPR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Among them, the OMS-2-0.7 sample showed the best O3 conversion of 92% under high relative humidity (RH) of 90% and gas hourly space velocity of 585,000 h−1. This was accordingly thought as a possible way for purifying ozone-containing waste gases under high RH atmospheres. The efficiency of ozone decomposition of the prepared OMS-2-X sample was found to be related to specific surface area, particle size, surface oxygen vacancies, and Mn3+ cation amounts. The one-step hydrothermal synthesis was shown to be a simple method to prepare the considerably active OMS-2 solids for ozone decomposition.

1 Introduction
Stratosphere ozone protects the human beings from ultraviolet light irradiation (Wang et al. 2015). However, the ozone in the troposphere can react with nitrogen oxides (NOx) (Wang et al. 2011) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and the interaction among them is accelerated by light from the sun (Cooper et al. 2010; Afonso and Pires 2017), to form photochemical smog as a secondary air pollutant. Exposure to highly concentrated ozone for long periods can cause deleterious effects on human health involving blood pressure, lung function and airway inflammation, premature mortality, and also decrease the harvest of staple crops (Hoffmann et al. 2012; Mohamed et al. 2018). What is more, tropospheric ozone as a greenhouse gas exacerbates global warming (Shindell et al. 2012). Nowadays, owing to its powerful oxidizing ability, ozone is widely applied in waste water treatment (Chen et al. 2017; Destaillats et al. 2008), sterilization and disinfection (Lin et al. 2016) and air purification (Mitchell et al. 2011; Yang et al. 2009), which leads to serious levels of ozone residues. Ozone can be released by much electrical equipment during discharge processes (Dhandapani and Oyama 1997) or oxygen irradiated by ultraviolet light (Zhu et al. 2017). Therefore, it is significant to study ozone decomposition for environment protection and human health.
Catalytic decomposition of ozone is used for purification of ozone-containing waste gases due to its efficient, convenient, safe, and economical advantages. The main active components of the catalysts are noble metals and transition metal oxides. The common noble metals for ozone decomposition are Pd (Yu et al. 2009), Ag (Zhang et al. 2009) and Au (Naydenov et al. 2008), while transition metal oxides are those of Ni (Stoyanova et al. 2006), Fe (Lian et al. 2015), Ce (Liu and Zhang 2017), Co (Ma et al. 2017) and Mn (Radhakrishnan and Oyama 2001). Dhandapani and Oyama (1997) have found that MnO2 exhibits the best activity for catalytic decomposition of ozone among the common metal oxides and concluded that the variety of valence of “MnO2” might attribute to its excellent performance. For manganese oxides, different types of crystal structures correspond to diverse morphologies (Bai et al. 2015; Bing et al. 2017; Seo and Choi 2017; Ferraz et al. 2018). Octahedral molecular sieve (OMS)-2 (Cryptomelane-type manganese oxide) is one kind of MnO2. The structure of OMS-2 has an octahedral basic unit consisting of 2 × 2 shared edges to form a one-dimensional tunnel (Meng et al. 2014). The tunnel is 0.46 nm × 0.46 nm (Saputra et al. 2013). In the octahedral structure of OMS-2, Mn2+, Mn3+, and Mn4+ valences are present (Genuino et al. 2012). The Mn(IV)/Mn(III) in OMS-2 boosts the oxidation process during catalytic removal of ethanol (Li et al. 2010). OMS-2 is an ideal hydrophobic material (Luo et al. 2008) and may show good activity for ozone decomposition under relatively high humidity. Zhang’s group (Liu and Zhang 2017; Jia et al. 2016a, b, 2017) have reported that oxygen vacancies are the main factor for the outstanding behavior of MnO2 in ozone decomposition under wet conditions due to different crystal structures and morphologies of MnO2. Zhu et al. (2017) also announced similar results by density functional theory (DFT) calculation for ozone (O3) decomposition over OMS-2. The mechanism for catalytic decomposition of ozone mainly involves several redox steps, and oxygen vacancies are deemed as the active center (Zhu et al. 2017; Stoyanova et al. 2006; Lian et al. 2015; Liu and Zhang 2017; Jia et al. 2016a, 2017). However, synthesis of highly active OMS-2 by varying the molar radio of KMnO4/MnAc2 for ozone decomposition has not been reported in the literature. The role of surface characteristics of OMS-2 on its performance is so far not clear.
OMS-2-X catalysts were prepared with different molar ratios of KMnO4/MnAc2 and characterized by a variety of means including N2 adsorption–desorption, XRD, TEM, SEM, H2-TPR and XPS. These as-prepared OMS-2-X samples were used as catalysts under relatively high humidity for ozone decomposition.
2 Materials and methods
2.1 Sample preparation method
The catalysts were prepared with different molar ratios of potassium permanganate (KMnO4) to MnAc2∙4H2O by a hydrothermal method, which was a similar process to that reported by Wang et al. (2015). OMS-2-0.9 was prepared with a molar ratio of 0.9 as follows: 14.9 mmol of MnAc2∙4H2O was mixed in 20 mL deionized water by stirring. Thereafter, an acidic environment was achieved by adding 2.0 ml acetic acid. Next, potassium permanganate solution (60 ml deionized water was used to dissolve 13.4 mmol KMnO4) was added dropwise into the previous solution. Finally, the resulting mixture was transferred into a Teflon kettle at an oven 100 °C for 24 h. The obtained material was filtered first and then washed several times with deionized water until the filter liquor was pH = 7. The residue was put into a 100 °C oven to dry for 8 h. This method was conducted for the OMS-2-0.9 sample. The other kinds of OMS-2-X materials were called OMS-2-0.7 (KMnO4/MnAc2 = 0.7), OMS-2-0.5 (KMnO4/MnAc2 = 0.5) and OMS-2-0.3 (KMnO4/MnAc2 = 0.3), where the X represents the molar ratio of KMnO4/MnAc2.
2.2 Catalyst characterization
OMS-2-X was investigated using X-ray diffractometry (XRD) to confirm its crystalline structure using Cu Kα radiation at 40 kV (λ = 0.15406 nm). The corresponding data were obtained over the range of 2θ from 5° to 80° and a step value of 0.02°.
XPS was performed on a Thermofisher ESCALAB 250 system. The binding energies (BE) of the C1s were at 285.0 eV to calibrate the measured results.
The morphologies of the four kinds of OMS-2 catalysts were observed by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) with a Hitachi SU8000 at 10.0 kV. The TEM images were obtained in a JEOL 2100 electron microscope at 200 kV. The samples dispersed in ethanol were dropped onto a copper grid.
N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms were used to investigate the specific surface areas and pore structures including average pore sizes, pore size distributions, and total pore volumes. A Micromeritics ASAP 2460 analyzer was operated to analyze surface areas by using the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method. The distribution of sample pore sizes was determined by the Barrett–Joyner–Halenda (BJH) method.
H2-TPR was undertaken on an instrument made in-house. The gas contains 5.58% of H2 balanced by Ar under atmospheric pressure. For each test, 100 mg samples were loaded with a reduction temperature between 150 and 500 °C. A thermo-conductivity detector (TCD) was used to check the H2 consumption amount caused by reduction.
2.3 Activity evaluation
Ozone decomposition was conducted in a quartz reactor (diameter 5 mm) at 25 °C and at a space velocity of 585,000 h−1. Gas flows were O2 and N2 with 50, 1000 mL/min, respectively. An ozone generator (Jiangxi Nicey Technology Co., Ltd., China) was used to generate ozone which was 500 ppm in the inlet. An ozone monitor made by 2B Technologies (model 202) detected inlet or outlet ozone concentrations. A bubbler was kept at a constant temperature (32 °C) to maintain the relative humidity (RH = 90%), which is measured by means of a humidity indicator (CENTER 313, Taiwan Center Electronics CO., Ltd., China). The following was ozone conversion formula (1):
3 Results and discussion
3.1 XRD results
Materials prepared by the different ratios of KMnO4/MnAc2 were well crystallized along with the octahedral molecular sieve which exhibited the characteristics of JCPDS 29-1020 (see Fig. 1). OMS-2-X showed the main peaks at 12.7°, 18.0°, 28.7°, 37.6°, 42.0°, 49.9°, and 60.2°. The variations in peaks of the synthesized materials exhibited some difference in crystal size. Scherrer’s formula was used to calculate the size of OMS-2-X crystals (d = 0.89 λ/β cosθ). Among the investigated samples, OMS-2-0.7 had the smallest crystal size of 7.7 nm and OMS-2-0.3 presented the largest size of 9.9 nm. In addition, OMS-2-0.5 was 8.2 nm and OMS-2-0.9 was 9.3 nm.
3.2 TEM and SEM results for OMS-2-X
The morphologies observed using SEM and TEM are depicted in Fig. 2. The samples showed typical nanorod morphology. OMS-2-0.7 showed nanoscaled images with the smallest diameter of about 6.4 nm and lengths of 31–93 nm. Moreover, OMS-2-0.3 had the largest diameter of about 9.4 nm and lengths of 50–125 nm. OMS-2-0.9 and OMS-2-0.5 presented the medium diameter of 9.1 nm and 7.1 nm, respectively.
3.3 Effect of surface areas of OMS-2-X
The N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms are displayed in Fig. 3. The isotherms of OMS-2-0.9, OMS-2-0.7 and OMS-2-0.5 displayed the typical H3 hysteresis loop which belongs to the type II isotherm by the IUPAC classification. These results are usually associated with the adsorption on pores secondarily formed by construction of primary particles (Sun et al. 2013). These were similar to the previous results of OMS-2 (Ma et al. 2017). The OMS-2-0.3 showed the type I isotherm pattern, an H4-type hysteresis loop from adsorption by slit-like holes created by layered structures. The OMS-2-0.7 showed higher slopes than those of the other samples at low P/Po which indicated a relatively higher surface area. Compared with OMS-2-0.3 and OMS-2-0.9 (0.091 cm3/g, 0.423 cm3/g), OMS-2-0.7 and OMS-2-0.5 showed relatively larger pore volumes (0.435 cm3/g, 0.681 cm3/g). OMS-2-0.5 had the largest average pore diameter (17.3 nm) with respect to OMS-2-0.3 (4.1 nm), OMS-2-0.7 (10.9 nm), OMS-2-0.9 (9.1 nm), which may favor ozone entering its tunnels and promoting ozone decomposition under relatively high space velocity and humidity. The specific surface area for four samples was OMS-2-0.3 (91 m2/g), OMS-2-0.5 (135 m2/g), OMS-2-0.7 (154 m2/g), and OMS-2-0.9 (134 m2/g). The OMS-2-0.7 had the highest surface area of the OMS-2-Xs, probably being the main reason for its better performance.
3.4 Redox behavior of the samples
Temperature-programmed reduction profiles are presented in Fig. 4 to reveal the redox properties of the four OMS-2 materials. These show three overlapped reduction peaks in accordance with a three-step reduction process. These three overlapped peaks were labeled as α, β, γ, respectively. The reduction characteristics of the cryptomelane structure materials had been studied in early work (Wang et al. 2015; Sun et al. 2013). Firstly, the α peak was the temperature reduction process by which the MnO2 was reduced to Mn2O3. Secondly, the transformation from Mn2O3 to Mn3O4 was associated with the β peak. Lastly, the materials were further reduced to MnO and this showed as the γ peak. As for OMS-2-0.7, the α, β and γ peaks occur at 272, 301, and 322 °C, which are lower than the corresponding peaks of OMS-2-0.3 (298, 327, 348 °C), OMS-2-0.5 (293, 325, 347 °C), and OMS-2-0.9 (294, 320, 342 °C), implying that OMS-2-0.7 presented the best reducibility. What is more, the total H2 consumption amount of the α peak followed the sequence of OMS-2-0.7(9.06 mmol/g) < OMS-2-0.5 (9.30 mmol/g) < OMS-2-0.9 (9.56 mmol/g) < OMS-2-0.3 (9.60 mmol/g). The α and β peaks had the same sequence of H2 consumption amount which is shown in Table 1. For the reduction from MnO2 to MnO, each H2 consumption amount was smaller than the theoretical one, which implied that a certain amount of Mn3+ existed in all the four OMS-2 samples. We could deduce that the molar ratio of O and Mn was 3.50 on the OMS-2-0.7 structure which was the lowest value. However, the OMS-2-0.3 showed the highest ratio of 3.61 which was closed to the related value of OMS-2-0.9 (3.60). The other was 3.55 (OMS-2-0.5). Among them, the Mn3+ content decreased inversely to the molar ratio of O and Mn.
3.5 Chemical states of surface elements
The XPS in Fig. 5 showed that the chemical states of Mn and O in the four samples were O 1s, Mn 2p3/2 and Mn 3s spectra. In Fig. 5a, there were two peaks divided on Mn 2p3/2 which was the surface Mn3+ (641.5 eV) species and Mn4+ (642.7 eV) species.
The quantitative analysis of different molar ratios of surface Mn3+/Mn4+ is shown in Table 2. The OMS-2-0.7 sample showed a molar ratio of 1.70 which was the highest value of surface Mn3+/Mn4+ among the four samples. OMS-2-0.3 had an Mn3+/Mn4+ molar ratio equal to 0.86, while material OMS-2-0.5 possessed a ratio of 1.38 and OMS-2-0.9 only had a ratio of 1.08. These were consistent with the H2-TPR result of the Mn3+ content. It is known that when Mn3+ is contained in the framework, oxygen vacancies would be formed on manganese dioxide. Maintaining electrostatic balance was the reason which concluded the following process (2) (Hou et al. 2016; Jia et al. 2016a, b). According to this process, we calculate that OMS-2-0.7 had a surface oxygen vacancy content of 19%. OMS-2-0.5 had a vacancy content of 12.5%, which is lower than that of OMS-2-0.7. In contrast, there were few surface oxygen vacancies for OMS-2-0.9 (1%) and OMS-2-0.3 (0.5%). The oxygen vacancy site was represented by Vo.
The average oxidation state (AOS) results were obtained from formula (3), and the ΔEs was doublet binding-energy peaks for Mn 3s (Fig. 5b) (Hou et al. 2016). The AOS of OMS-2-0.7 was 3.40 which is much lower than OMS-2-0.3 (3.88). The material OMS-2-0.5 was the middle of the above results (3.55) and so was OMS-2-0.9 (3.75). These suggested that Mn3+ in the lattice of OMS-2-0.7 was the highest oxidation state. This observation was in agreement with that obtained from H2-TPR.
In Fig. 5c, the O 1s spectra showed two surface oxygen species. The binding-energy (BE) peaks of 529.4–529.9 eV were assigned to the lattice oxygen (OI), which was O2−, while the surface oxygen species were shown as O2−, O−, HO− groups and allocated to the higher BE (531.0-531.2 eV) peaks (Jia et al. 2016a, b). The molar ratio of OII/OI is in keeping with the ratio of Mn3+/Mn4+ for these materials (see Table 2). An oxidative material was formed by the process of oxygen molecules adsorbing at the oxygen vacancies. This confirmed the order of the density of oxygen vacancies.
3.6 Catalytic activity
All OMS-2-X samples displayed good activity for ozone decomposition under dry conditions and all of them reached 100% (see Fig. 6). However, Fig. 7 shows that the catalytic performance of OMS-2 materials for ozone removal when the relative humidity (RH) was 90%. OMS-2-0.7 kept an activity of 92% after 0.5 h and maintained this activity for 7 h without further decline. But the activity of OMS-2-0.5 dropped to 80% of the initial value after 1.5 h. The ozone conversions of OMS-2-0.9 and OMS-2-0.3 were diminished to 72% and 68%, respectively, of the initial value after 2.5 h. OMS-2-0.7 had the highest activity and kept stable longer than the other materials.
Smaller particles are beneficial for the formation of more defects. The crystal size determined by XRD indicated that the activity of ozone decomposition increased along with the smaller catalyst size. Moreover, SEM and TEM confirmed the smaller size is associated with better activity which is in agreement with the previous conclusions (Ma et al. 2017; Jia et al. 2016a, b). The surface area of the most active OMS-2-0.7 (154 m2/g) was the highest in the four OMS-2 materials. The worst activity was achieved over OMS-2-0.3 (91 m2/g) which had the lowest surface area. A large surface area could expose more active sites for the adsorption of ozone and essentially promote ozone depletion on OMS-2-0.7. However, OMS-2-0.5 (135 m2/g) and OMS-2-0.9 (134 m2/g) displayed similar surface areas along with the distinct activity. Therefore, the specific surface area was likely not the key issue of discrepancy in the activity of the samples (Wang et al. 2015; Ma et al. 2017).
The OMS-2 framework can easily form oxygen vacancies by some of oxygen atoms escaping from the framework while maintaining its crystal structure (Luo et al. 2008). The reaction mechanism reported by Jia was that the oxygen vacancies were the reason for the improvement of the ozone decomposition (Jia et al. 2016a, b). Surface oxygen vacancy densities were effective for evaluation of the amount of oxygen species adsorbed on the sample surface. From XPS results, the OMS-2-0.7 showed the most adsorbed surface oxygen species, which was in agreement with its the highest catalytic activity, as illustrated in Fig. 5 for O 1s XPS. The content of oxygen vacancies was calculated by Eq. (2) and the activity of ozone removal was indeed enhanced as the oxygen vacancy proportion increased. The oxygen vacancy content of OMS-2-0.7 and OMS-2-0.5 was much more than those for OMS-2-0.9 and OMS-2-0.3, which coincided with effective ozone removal. Hence, the activity for ozone elimination was strongly related to the surface oxygen vacancies. The mechanism of ozone decomposition involved many redox steps (Li et al. 1998). The H2-TPR investigation demonstrated that the OMS-2-0.7 had the lowest reduction temperature and the best reducibility which was beneficial for ozone decomposition. H2 consumption could display the oxygen amount of each material and its ability to form vacancies. Three reducing peaks for OMS-2-X showed the different H2 consumption amounts following almost the same order of activity of ozone decomposition (see Table 1). The more H2 that is consumed, the better the ozone decomposition efficiency achieved. The total H2 consumption and oxygen vacancy amount had a good relationship with ozone decomposition as illustrated in Fig. 8. A lower total H2 consumption and a higher oxygen vacancy amount would enhance the ozone decomposition. Wang and Liu et al. found higher surface Mn3+ levels would promote ozone decomposition (Ma et al. 2017; Liu et al. 2014). Both XPS and H2-TPR showed that the Mn3+ amount in OMS-2-X plays a key role in ozone catalytic removal. Hence, the higher amount of Mn3+ cations promoted the effective removal ozone by OMS-2-0.7.
4 Conclusions
Four kinds of OMS-2 with different molar ratios were prepared by chemical thermal synthesis involving both potassium permanganate and MnAc2. OMS-2-X showed distinct behaviors during ozone decomposition. OMS-2-0.7 synthesized with a molar ratio of 0.7 exhibited an excellent activity for ozone decomposition. XRD, SEM and TEM characterizations suggested that smaller particles and larger surface area were beneficial for ozone removal. Most importantly, the content of Mn3+ ions and surface oxygen vacancies were the key for effectively decomposing ozone under high relative humidity conditions.
