TiO2上原子分散的Fe位点促进光催化CO2还原:增强的催化活性、DFT计算和机制洞察(英文)

光催化CO₂高效、环保地转化为高附加值化工产品(CH₄, CO, CH₃OH等),能够有效降低环境污染并且促进资源利用.商用P25(TiO₂)因其具有无毒、化学稳定性和强氧化还原电位而被广泛研究.然而, TiO₂的带隙高达3.0 e V,只有在紫外光激发下才能产生光生载流子,这极大地限制了其在光催化领域的应用.单原子催化剂(SACs)具有金属原子利用率高、选择性高和活性高等优点,可用于精细化工合成、氧还原和污染物降解等催化领域.由于单个原子具有极高的表面自由能,因此如何稳定地保持原子分散,避免原子团聚成为SACs制备和反应过程中的一大挑战.本文通过简单的负压封装后热解方法实现了Fe在TiO₂表面的原子级分散负载,所制备的Fe SA/TiO₂催化剂展现出高效的光催化CO₂还原性能,并且利用多种表征手段及理论计算研究了TiO₂表面Fe位点促进CO₂高效转化的反应机制.扫描透...

Ag/N-TiO2/SBA-15光催化剂的制备及其可见光催化还原CO2

以钛酸四正丁酯(TB),羧基改性的SBA-15 (COOH/SBA-15),尿素和AgNO3为原料,利用溶剂热及焙烧处理制得Ag/N-TiO₂/SBA-15催化剂. 采用X 射线衍射(XRD),低温N2吸脱附,X 射线光电子能谱(XPS),紫外-可见漫反射光谱(UV-vis DRS),荧光(PL)光谱,电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱(ICP)和元素分析(EA)等表征. 结果显示：Ag/N-TiO₂/SBA-15样品具有介孔结构,TiO₂以单一的锐钛矿晶型均匀的分散在载体表面,Ag以单质形态沉积在TiO₂表面,N则掺入到TiO₂晶格中,并以取代N(O-Ti-N)和间隙N(Ti-O-N)两种方式共存. Ag/N-TiO₂/SBA-15催化剂中单质Ag既可以捕获光生电子提高量子效率,又促进了TiO₂对可见光的吸收. N掺杂拓宽了TiO₂吸收光谱的吸收范围,并且适量的N掺杂有助于光生电荷的分离,提高了光催化效率. 以光催化还原CO₂为探针反应,考察了催化剂在可见光下的催化活性. 结果表明：Ag/N-TiO₂/SBA-15系列催化剂均表现出了可见光催化还原CO₂性能,发现当Ag的质量分数为2%,N与Ti的物质的量比为3时,催化剂光催化活性最佳,产物甲醇产量高达45.7 μmol·g^-1·h^-1.

1D/2D TiO2/ZnIn2S4S型异质结光催化剂及其高效制氢性能

通过半导体催化剂利用太阳能分解水制氢被认为是解决人类面临的环境问题和能源危机的有效途径.在众多的半导体光催化剂中,TiO₂由于其良好的光化学稳定性、无毒性、丰富的形貌以及低廉的价格,在光催化制氢领域备受关注.然而TiO₂的内在缺陷,如较宽的带隙、较窄的光响应范围,光生电子空穴对的快速复合,极大限制了其太阳能制氢效率.构建异质结结构被认为是解决以上问题的一个有效方法,通过将TiO₂与另一个半导体复合可以提升催化剂对太阳光的吸收范围,也可降低光生电子空穴对的复合速率.但构建一个成功的异质结结构不仅要满足上述的要求,还需要保留异质结催化剂体系中光生电子和空穴的氧化还原能力.研究表明,S型异质结是将两个具有合适能带结构的半导体进行耦合,由于费米能级的差异,两个半导体间将发生电子转移,从而引起能带弯曲并形成内建电场.光照条件下,具有较弱还原能力的光生电子在内建电场和能带弯曲的作用下与较弱氧化能力的光生空穴复合,实现异质结催化剂体系中各个半导体内部光生载流子有效分离的目标,同时保留了异质结催化剂体系中较强氧化能力和较强还原能力的光生电子和空穴,进而实现光催化活性的提高.本文采用水热合成方法,将具有更强还原能力和可见光响应特性的半导体(ZnIn₂S₄)原位生长在TiO₂纳米纤维表面,构建了1D/2DTiO₂/ZnIn₂S₄S型异质结光催化剂.最优比例的TiO₂/ZnIn₂S₄复合材料表现出优越的光催化制氢活性(6.03mmol/h/g),分别是纯TiO₂和纯ZnIn₂S₄制氢活性的3.7倍和2倍.TiO₂/ZnIn₂S₄复合材料光催化活性的提高可以归因于紧密的异质结界面、光生载流子的有效分离、丰富的反应活性位点以及增强的光吸收能力.通过原位XPS和DFT计算研究了异质结内部光生电子的转移机制.结果表明,在光照条件下电子由TiO₂向ZnIn₂S₄迁移,遵循了S型异质结内部电子的转移机制,实现了TiO₂和ZnIn₂S₄内部光生载流子的有效分离,同时保留了具有较强还原能力的ZnIn₂S₄价带电子和较强氧化能力的TiO₂导带空穴,从而显著提升光催化制氢效率.综上,本文制备的TiO₂/ZnIn₂S₄S型异质结光催化剂很好地克服了TiO₂在光催化制氢领域所面临的诸多障碍,为设计和制备高效异质结光催化剂提供了新的思路.

TiO2对Ni/Al2O3催化剂CO甲烷化性能的影响

采用溶胶凝胶法制备了一系列不同TiO₂含量的TiO₂-Al₂O₃复合载体,并通过浸渍法制备了NiO/TiO₂-Al₂O₃催化剂。分别考察了不同TiO₂含量的NiO/TiO₂-Al₂O₃催化剂及反应温度对CO甲烷化催化性能的影响。实验结果表明,当复合载体中TiO₂质量分数为30%,反应温度为350～450 ℃时,催化剂催化活性较高。利用N₂吸附-脱附(BET)、X射线衍射(XRD)及H₂程序升温还原(H₂-TPR)等手段对催化剂物化性能进行了表征。结果表明,加入适量的TiO₂能抑制镍铝尖晶石NiAl₂O₄物种的生成,改善NiO的表面分散性能,避免大晶粒NiO的形成,也改善了催化剂的还原性能,从而提高催化剂的CO甲烷化活性。

Theoretical study on the mechanism of the CH2F + NO2 reaction

Despite the importance of the Fluoromethyl radicals in combustion chemistry, very little experimental information on their reactions toward stable molecules is available in the literature. Motivated by recent laboratory characterization about the reaction kinetics of Chloromethyl radicals with NO2, we carried out a detailed potential energy survey on the CH2F + NO2 reaction at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) and MC-QCISD (single-point) levels as an attempt toward understanding the CH2F + NO2 reaction mechanism. It is shown that the CH2F radical can react with NO2 to barrierlessly generate adduct a (H2FCNO2), followed by isomerization to b1 (H2FCONO-trans) which can easily interconvert to b2 (H2FCONO-cis). Subsequently, Starting from b (b1, b2), the most feasible pathway is the C--F and N--O1 bonds cleavage along with N--F bond formation of b (b1, b2) leading to P1 (CH2O + FNO), or the direct N--O1 weak-bond fission of b (b1, b2) to give P2 (CH2FO + NO), or the 1,3-H-shift associated with N--O1 bond rupture of b1 to form P3 (CHFO + HNO), all of which may have comparable contribution to the reaction CH2F + NO2. Much less competitively, b2 either take the 1,4-H-shift and O1--N bond cleavage to form product P4 (CHFO + HON) or undergo a concerted H-shift to isomer c2 (HFCONOH), followed by dissociation to P4. Because the rate-determining transition state (TSab1) in the most competitive channels is only 0.3 kcal/mol higher than the reactants in energy, the CH2F + NO2 reaction is expected to be rapid, and may thus be expected to significantly contribute to elimination of nitrogen dioxide pollutants. The similarities and discrepancies among the CH2X + NO2 (X = H, F, and Cl) reactions are discussed in terms of the electronegativity of halogen atom. The present article may assist in future experimental identification of the product distributions for the title reaction, and may be helpful for understanding the halogenated methyl chemistry.     

Theoretical mechanistic study on the radical-molecule reaction of CHCl2/CCl3 with NO2

The radical-molecule reaction mechanism of CHCl(2) and CCl(3) with NO(2) have been explored theoretically at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) and MC-QCISD (single-point) levels. For the singlet potential energy surface (PES) of CHCl(2) + NO(2) reaction, the association of CHCl(2) with NO(2) was found to be a barrierless carbon-to-nitrogen approach forming an energy-rich adduct a (HCl(2)CNO(2)) followed by isomerization to b(1) (trans-cis-HCl(2)CONO), which can easily interconvert to b(2), b(3), and b(4). Subsequently, the most feasible pathway is the 1,3-chlorine migration associated with N-O1 bond cleavage of b(1) leading to P(1) (CHClO + ClNO). The second competitive pathway is the 1,4-chlorine migration along with N-O1 bond rupture of b(4) giving rise to P(2) (CHClO + ClON). Moreover, some of P(1) and P(2) can further dissociate to give P(6) (CHClO + Cl + NO). The lesser followed competitive channel is the 1,3-H-shift from C to N atom along with N-O1 bond rupture of b(1) to form P(3) (CCl(2)O + HNO). The concerted 1,4-H-shift accompanied by N-O1 bond fission of b(3) to product P(4) (CCl(2)O + HON) is even much less feasible. For the singlet PES of CCl(3) + NO(2) reaction, the only primary product is found to be P(1) (CCl(2)O + ClNO), which can lead to P(2) (CCl(2)O + Cl + NO) via dissociation of ClNO. The obtained major products CHClO and CCl(2)O for CHCl(2) + NO(2) and CCl(3) + NO(2) reactions, respectively, are in good agreement with kinetic detection in experiment. Compared with the singlet pathways, the triplet pathways may have less contributions to both reactions. Because the rate-determining transition state involved in the feasible pathways lie above the reactants R, the title reactions may be important in high-temperature processes. The similarities and discrepancies among the CH(n)Cl(3-n) + NO(2) (n == 0-2) reactions are discussed in terms of the substitution effect. The present study may be helpful for further experimental investigation of the title reactions.     

Theoretical study on the mechanism of the (3)CH(2) + NO(2) reaction

The complex doublet potential energy surface of the CH(2)NO(2) system is investigated at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) and QCISD(T)/6-311G(d,p) (single-point) levels to explore the possible reaction mechanism of the triplet CH(2) radical with NO(2). Forty minimum isomers and 92 transition states are located. For the most relevant reaction pathways, the high-level QCISD(T)/6-311 + G(2df,2p) calculations are performed at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) geometries to accurately determine the energetics. It is found that the top attack of the (3)CH(2) radical at the N-atom of NO(2) first forms the branched open-chain H(2)CNO(2) a with no barrier followed by ring closure to give the three-membered ring isomer cC(H(2))ON-O b that will almost barrierlessly dissociate to product P(1) H(2)CO + NO. The lesser followed competitive channel is the 1,3-H-shift of a to isomer HCN(O)OH c, which will take subsequent cis-trans conversion and dissociation to P(2) OH + HCNO. The direct O-extrusion of a to product P(3) (3)O + H(2)CNO is even much less feasible. Because the intermediates and transition states involved in the above three channels are all lower than the reactants in energy, the title reaction is expected to be rapid, as is consistent with the measured large rate constant at room temperature. Formation of the other very low-lying dissociation products such as NH(2) + CO(2), OH + HNCO and H(2)O + NCO seems unlikely due to kinetic hindrance. Moreover, the (3)CH(2) attack at the end-O of NO(2) is a barrier-consumed process, and thus may only be of significance at very high temperatures. The reaction of the singlet CH(2) with NO(2) is also briefly discussed. Our calculated results may assist in future laboratory identification of the products of the title reaction.

亲二氧化碳碳氢聚合物及其应用*

超临界二氧化碳（scCO₂）作为一种新型“绿色溶剂”,具有无毒、不可燃、易于分离以及来源丰富等特点,有望替代传统的挥发性有机溶剂。但scCO₂是很弱的溶剂,大部分极性分子和高分子量聚合物在其中的溶解度都很低,限制了其工业应用。目前,应用scCO₂遇到的一个挑战就是寻找有效的适用于scCO₂的表面活性剂、配合物、相转移剂等。本文综述了亲二氧化碳聚合物的研究进展,从链段柔顺性和自由体积、溶质/溶质相互作用、溶质/CO₂相互作用三个方面介绍了亲二氧化碳碳氢化合物的设计原则,并介绍了亲二氧化碳聚合物在制备表面活性剂、增溶染料和催化剂等方面的相关应用。     

CeO2/TiO2 Monolith Catalyst for the Selective Catalytic Reduction of NOx with NH3: Influence of H2O and SO2

The influences of H₂O and SO₂ on CeO₂/TiO₂ monolith catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction(SCR) of NO_x with NH₃ were investigated. In the absence of SO₂, H₂O inhibited the SCR activity, which might be ascribed to the competitive adsorption of H₂O and reactants such as NH₃ and/or NO_x. SO₂ could promote the SCR activity of CeO₂/TiO₂ monolith catalyst in the absence of H₂O, while in the presence of H₂O it speeded the deactivation. During the SCR reaction in SO₂-containing gases, Ce(III) sulfate species formed on the catalyst surface, resulting in the enhancement of Brønsted acidity. This played a significant role in the enhanced SCR activity. However, in the presence of both H₂O and SO₂, a large amount of ammonium-sulfate salts formed on the catalyst surface, which resulted in the blocking of catalyst pores and deactivated the catalyst. In addition, the NO_x conversion was more sensitive to gas hourly space velocity in the presence of H₂O than in the absence of H₂O. The relatively high space velocity would result in a higher formation rate of ammonium-sulfate salts on per unit catalyst in the presence of H₂O and SO₂, which caused obvious deactivation of Ce/TiO₂ monolith catalyst.     

Synthesis of Poly(2‐Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate)‐based Hybrid Nanoparticles via Visible‐Light‐Initiated Radical Polymerization

We report a new, unique process for the design of poly(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA )‐based hybrid materials, which involves the coating of PHEMA on TiO₂ and TiO₂ /Ag nanoparticle surface under visible light. New hybrid materials initiated under different conditions were prepared under visible light, which could be used for the theoretical design of nanohybrid materials. The hybrid materials thus prepared were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR ), transmission electron microscopy (TEM ), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA ). The experimental results confirmed the successful synthesis of TiO₂–PHEMA hybrid materials. Compared to other methods, the method reported here involving the direct combination of PHEMA on the TiO₂ surface was simply catalyzed by visible light without the addition of initiators.     

Properties of alkylbenzimidazoles for CO2 and SO2 capture and comparisons to ionic liquids

To date, few reports have been concerned with the physical properties of the liquid phases of imidazoles and benzimidazoles-potential starting materials for a great number of ionic liquids. Prior research has indicated that alkylimidazole solvents exhibit different, and potentially advantageous physical properties, when compared to corresponding imidazolium-based ionic liquids. Given that even the most fundamental physical properties of alkylimidazole solvents have only recently been reported, there is still a lack of data for other relevant imidazole derivatives, including benzimidazoles. In this work, we have synthesized a series of eight 1-n-alkylbenzimidazoles, with chain lengths ranging from ethyl to dodecyl, all of which exist as neat liquids at ambient temperature. Their densities and viscosities have been determined as functions of both temperature and molecular weight. Alkylbenzimidazoles have been found to exhibit viscosities that are more similar to imidazolium-based ILs than alkylimidazoles, owed to a large contribution to viscosity from the presence of a fused ring system. Solubilities of CO2 and SO2, two species of concern in the emission of coal-fired power generation, were determined for selected alkylbenzimidazoles to understand what effects a fused ring system might have on gas solubility. For both gases, alkylbenzimidazoles were determined to experience physical, non-chemically reactive, interactions. The solubility of CO2 in alkylbenzimidazoles is 10%-30% less than observed for corresponding ILs and alkylimidazoles. 1-butylbenzimidazole was found to readily absorb at least 0.333 gram SO2 per gram at low pressure and ambient temperature, which could be readily desorbed under an N2 flush, a behavior more similar to imidazolium-based ILs than alkylimidazoles. Thus, we find that as solvents for gas separations, benzimidazoles share characteristics with both ILs and alkylimidazoles.

Theoretical study on the mechanism of the 1CHCl + NO2 reactions

The radical-molecule reaction mechanism of (1)CHCl with NO(2) has been explored theoretically at the B3LYP/6-311G(d, p) and CCSD(T)/6-311G(d, p) (single-point) levels of theory. Thirteen minimum isomers and 29 transition states are located. The initial association between (1)CHCl and NO(2) proceeds most likely through the carbon-to-middle-nitrogen attack leading to an energy-rich adduct a (HClCNO(2)), which is found to be a barrierless process. Staring from a, the most feasible channel is to undergo a concerted O-shift and C--N bond rupture leading to product P(2) (NO + HClCO). The minor product pathways are the direct O-extrusion of a to P(3) (O + HClCNO-cis) as well as the 1,3-H-shift of a to isomer b (ClCNOOH) followed by a concerted OH-shift leading to d (HOClCNO), which will dissociate to product P(8) (NO + ClCOH) via C--N cleavage. Because the transition states and isomers involved in the most feasible channel all lie below the reactants, the title reaction is expected to be rapid, as is consistent with the measured rate constant at 296 K. The comparison with the analogous reactions (3)CH(2) + NO(2) are discussed. The present study may be useful for further experimental investigation of the title reaction.
