Synthesis of ZnO-CuO and ZnO-Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> Materials with Three-Dimensionally Ordered Macroporous Structure and Its H<sub>2</sub>S Removal Performance at Low-Temperature
H<sub>2</sub>S is a common but hazardous impurity in syngas, biogas, or natural gas. For some advanced power generation technologies, such as integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC), solid oxide fuel cells, H<sub>2</sub>S content needs to be reduced to an acceptable lev...

H<sub>2</sub>S is a common but hazardous impurity in syngas, biogas, or natural gas. For some advanced power generation technologies, such as integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC), solid oxide fuel cells, H<sub>2</sub>S content needs to be reduced to an acceptable level. In this work, a series of highly porous Zn-Cu and Zn-Co composites with three-dimensionally ordered macropores (3DOM) structure were synthesized via the colloidal crystal template method and used to remove H<sub>2</sub>S at 150 °C and one atm. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorption studies, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were carried out to analyze the fresh and spent adsorbents. The results show that all the adsorbents possess well-ordered macropores, a large surface area, and a highly dispersed active phase. The relative content of Zn and (Cu or Co) has a significant influence on the desulfurization performance of adsorbents. The addition of CuO significantly increases the sulfur capacity and 3DOM-Zn<sub>0.5</sub>Cu<sub>0.5</sub> shows the largest sulfur capacity of all the adsorbents, reaching up to 102.5 mg/g.
