In this study, we developed a novel piezo-catalyst that can achieve excellent oxidative desulfurization of fuel at room temperature without the need for any oxidants. The study demonstrated that the CeO2/Ce2O3/NiOx nanocomposites exhibited outstanding desulfurization performance for both model and real fuels, and they also showed remarkable reusability. The investigation of the mechanism of sulfur oxidation revealed the involvement of superoxide radicals and holes, and the kinetic study confirmed a second-order reaction kinetic model for sulfur removal by the piezo-catalyst.
In order to advance desulfurization technology, a new method for excellent oxidative desulfurization of fuel at room temperature will be of paramount importance. As a novel desulfurization method, we developed piezo-catalysts that do not require adding any oxidants and can be performed at room temperature. A microwave method was used to prepare CeO2/Ce2O3/NiOx nanocomposites. Model and real fuel desulfurization rates were examined as a function of synthesis parameters, such as microwave power and time, and operation conditions, such as pH and ultrasonic power. The results showed that CeO2/Ce2O3/NiOx nanocomposites demonstrated outstanding piezo-desulfurization at room temperature for both model and real fuels. Furthermore, CeO2/Ce2O3/NiOx nanocomposites exhibited remarkable reusability, maintaining 79% of their piezo-catalytic activity even after 17 repetitions for desulfurization of real fuel. An investigation of the mechanism of sulfur oxidation revealed that superoxide radicals and holes played a major role. Additionally, the kinetic study revealed that sulfur removal by piezo-catalyst follows a second-order reaction kinetic model.
