非负载型铁催化剂上二氧化碳加氢制低碳烯烃

研究了非负载型铁催化剂上CO₂加氢制低碳烯烃反应.结果显示,添加碱金属可显著提高铁催化剂上的CO₂转化率和烯烃选择性.在经K和Rb修饰的Fe催化剂上,CO₂转化率可达约40%,烯烃选择性达到50%以上,其中C₂~C₄烯烃收率超过10%.催化剂表征结果表明,碱金属促进了催化剂中碳化铁的生成,这可能是催化剂性能提高的一个关键原因.随着K含量由1 wt%增加至5 wt%,CO₂转化率及烯烃选择性均升高.但K含量过高时,催化剂活性降低.这可能是由于催化剂比表面积和CO₂化学吸附量降低所致.当K含量为5%~10%时,K-Fe催化剂上烯烃收率较高; 进一步添加适量的硼可进一步提高烯烃选择性,且CO₂转化率下降不大.     

室温下电化学活化CO2与环氧化合物反应合成环碳酸酯

室温下用铝为牺牲阳极, 以四丁基溴化铵/N,N-二甲基甲酰胺作电解质溶液, 在无隔膜电解池中电化学活化CO₂, 与环氧化合物反应, 合成了环状碳酸酯. 考察了不同电极材料、导电盐、CO₂的压力以及溶剂等因素对电合成结果的影响, 结果表明以Pt为阴极, 在0.05 mol•L^－1 Bu₄NBr/DMF电解质溶液中和4 MPa CO₂下, 环状碳酸酯产率可高达65%～98%.     

ZnSO4和La2O3作共修饰剂单金属Ru催化剂上苯选择加氢制环己烯

用沉淀法制备了单金属纳米Ru（0）催化剂,考察了ZnSO₄和La₂O₃作共修饰剂对该催化剂催化苯选择加氢制环己烯性能的影响,并用X射线衍射（XRD）、X射线荧光（XRF）光谱、X射线光电子能谱（XPS）、俄歇电子能谱（AES）、透射电镜（TEM）和N₂物理吸附等手段对加氢前后催化剂进行了表征. 结果表明,在ZnSO₄存在下,随着添加碱性La₂O₃量的增加,ZnSO₄水解生成的（Zn（OH）₂）₃（ZnSO₄）（H₂O）_x（x=1,3）盐量增加,催化剂活性单调降低,环己烯选择性单调升高. 当La₂O₃/Ru 物质的量比为0.075 时,Ru催化剂上苯转化率为77.6%,环己烯选择性和收率分别为75.2%和58.4%. 且该催化体系具有良好的重复使用性能. 传质计算结果表明,苯、环己烯和氢气的液-固扩散限制和孔内扩散限制都可忽略. 因此,高环己烯选择性和收率的获得不能简单归结为物理效应,而与催化剂的结构和催化体系密切相关. 根据实验结果,我们推测在化学吸附有（Zn（OH）₂）₃（ZnSO₄）（H₂O）_x（x=1,3）盐的Ru（0）催化剂有两种活化苯的活性位：Ru⁰和Zn²⁺. 因为Zn²⁺将部分电子转移给了Ru,Zn²⁺活化苯的能力比Ru⁰弱. 同时由于Ru和Zn²⁺的原子半径接近,Zn²⁺可以覆盖一部分Ru⁰活性位,导致解离H₂的Ru⁰活性位减少. 这导致了Zn²⁺上活化的苯只能加氢生成环己烯和Ru（0）催化剂活性的降低. 本文利用双活性位模型来解释Ru基催化剂上的苯加氢反应,并用Hückel分子轨道理论说明了该模型的合理性.     

串联双釜连续反应装置中Ru-Co-B/ZrO2上苯选择加氢制环己烯

采用化学还原法制备了苯选择加氢制环己烯催化剂Ru-B/ZrO₂,考察了Cr,Mn,Fe,Co,Ni,Cu和Zn等过渡金属的添加对Ru-B/ZrO₂催化剂性能的影响.结果表明,这些过渡金属的添加均可提高Ru-B/ZrO₂催化剂中的B含量.B的修饰及第二种金属或金属氧化物的集团效应和配位效应导致Ru-B/ZrO₂催化剂活性降低和环己烯选择性升高.当Co/Ru原子比为0.06时,Ru-Co-B/ZrO₂催化剂上反应25min苯转化率为75.8%时,环己烯选择性和收率分别为82.8%和62.8%.在双釜串联连续反应器中和优化反应条件下,Ru-Co-B/ZrO₂催化剂使用419h内苯转化率稳定在40%左右,环己烯选择性和收率分别稳定在73%和30%左右.

与传统H₂预处理方法相比,新型H₂+CO₂预处理方法（HCD）能显著提升Ni-Co双金属催化剂的沼气重整活性及抗积碳性能. 考察了HCD预处理操作条件对催化剂性能与结构的影响. 较好的HCD预处理操作条件是在催化剂经H₂处理之后,再用175-200 mL·min^-1的原料气CH₄/CO₂（比例为0：10）在780-800 ℃下还原0.5-1h. 在优化预处理操作条件下对催化剂进行了511 h的耐久性考察,并运用X射线衍射（XRD）、热重-差示扫描量热（TG-DSC）、透射电子显微镜（TEM）等手段对耐久性测试后的催化剂进行了表征. 在511 h 的稳定性实验内,CH₄、CO₂转化率,H₂、CO选择性及H₂/CO体积比分别高达96%、97%,98%、99%及0.98. 催化剂在测试期间的平均积碳速率仅为0.2 mg·g^-1·h^-1. 在该预处理操作参数下,催化剂拥有最好的综合性能和良好的耐久性.     

反应修饰剂ZnSO4和预处理对苯选择加氢制环己烯Ru-Zn催化剂性能的影响

共沉淀法制备了Ru-Zn催化剂,考察了反应修饰剂ZnSO₄和预处理对苯选择加氢制环己烯Ru-Zn催化剂性能的影响。结果表明,反应修饰剂ZnSO₄可以与Ru-Zn催化剂中助剂ZnO反应生成（Zn（OH）₂）₃（ZnSO₄）（H₂O）盐。随反应修饰剂ZnSO₄浓度增加,（Zn（OH）₂）₃（ZnSO₄）（H₂O）盐量的逐渐增加,Ru-Zn催化剂活性逐渐降低,环己烯选择性逐渐升高。因为（Zn（OH）₂）₃（ZnSO₄）（H₂O）盐中的Zn²⁺可以使Ru变为有利环己烯生成的缺电子的Ru^δ+物种,而且还可以占据不适宜环己烯生成的强Ru活性位。但当反应修饰剂ZnSO₄浓度高于0.41 mol·L^-1后,继续增加ZnSO₄浓度,由于Zn²⁺水解浆液酸性太强,可以溶解部分（Zn（OH）₂）₃（ZnSO₄）（H₂O）盐,Ru-Zn催化剂活性升高,环己烯选择性降低。但环己烯选择性却略微降低,这是由于ZnSO₄溶液中大量的Zn²⁺可以与生成的环己烯形成配合物,稳定生成的环己烯,抑制生成的环己烯再吸附到催化剂表面并加氢生成环己烷。在ZnSO₄最佳浓度0.61 mol·L^-1下对Ru-Zn催化剂预处理15 h,Ru-Zn催化剂中助剂ZnO可以与ZnSO₄完全反应生成（Zn（OH）₂）₃（ZnSO₄）（H₂O）盐,在该催化剂上25 min苯转化68.2%时环己烯选择性和收率分别为80.2%和54.7%。而且该催化剂具有良好的稳定性和重复使用性能。     

Ce助剂对V/SiO2催化CO2氧化乙苯脱氢性能的影响

通过N₂吸附、X射线衍射(XRD)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、H₂程序升温还原(H₂-TPR)、CO₂程序升温脱附(CO₂-TPD)和热重分析(TGA)等多种表征手段和催化反应性能评价,研究了铈助剂的添加对V/SiO₂催化CO₂氧化乙苯脱氢性能的影响. 结果表明,Ce助剂不仅提高了催化剂活性组分分散性和氧化还原性能,抑制了钒物种的深度还原,而且增强了催化剂碱性和CO₂吸附能力,减缓了积炭生成,从而显著提高了V-Ce/SiO₂对CO₂氧化乙苯脱氢反应的催化活性和稳定性. 在本实验中,V(0.8)-Ce(0.25)/SiO₂催化剂表现出最佳的催化性能,苯乙烯(ST)收率可达55.6%,选择性为98.5%,反应12 h 后,催化剂活性基本不变,与惰性N₂气氛比较,CO₂明显促进了乙苯脱氢反应,归因于CO₂能保持催化剂表面钒物种的高价态.

离子聚合物不同间隔单元对催化CO2环加成反应的影响

在常压低温的温和条件下实现CO₂与环氧化物环加成反应的高效催化转化仍是一个具有挑战的课题。以N-(三甲基硅基)咪唑和具有不同官能基团的二卤化物为前体,通过亲核取代反应形成重复的C—N键,简单高效地构建了一类新型的离子聚合物IP1~IP3,并采用FT-IR、扫描电镜、能量色散X射线谱面扫、比表面积与孔隙率分析和X射线光电子能谱对其进行了全面表征。离子聚合物IP1~IP3在p_CO2=101 kPa时均能催化CO₂与环氧化合物环加成形成环状碳酸酯,但不同官能基团的二卤化物形成具有不同间隔单元的离子聚合物催化性能存在差异,其中以酚羟基作为间隔单元的IP3具有最好的催化性能。在无溶剂、80℃、12 h和p_CO2=101 kPa的反应条件下,IP3几乎定量地将环氧氯丙烷转化为对应的环状碳酸酯,并且具有良好的底物普适性。催化剂循环测试表明,IP3在重复使用10次后,产物的产率仍保持在92%以上,体现出优异的稳定性。

Pyridinium-functionalized metalloporphyrins as bifunctional catalysts for cycloaddition of epoxides and carbon dioxide

New pyridinium-functionalized metalloporphyrins MEtPpBr₄ (M = Zn²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺; EtPp = 5, 10, 15, 20-tetra(4-(3-(N-ethyl-4-pyridyl)pyrazolyl)phenyl)porphyrin) were synthesized as bifunctional catalysts for the cycloaddition reactions of epoxides and CO₂. The effects of catalyst loading, CO₂ pressure, reaction temperature and time on catalytic activity were investigated. ZnEtPpBr₄ ( 1 ) and CoEtPpBr₄ ( 2 ) exhibited efficient activities in the cycloaddition reactions of various epoxides with CO₂ as at 120 °C under 2 MPa of CO₂ pressure without solvent. Most of corresponding cyclic carbonates could be obtained in almost quantitative yields and > 99.9% selectivity with molar ratio of epoxide/catalyst 2222 after 8 hr of reaction.     

Synthesis of cyclic carbonates from epoxides or olefins and CO2 catalyzed by metal-organic frameworks and quaternary ammonium salts

Catalytic properties of the metal-organic framework Cr-MIL-101 in solvent-free cycloaddition of CO₂ to epoxides to produce cyclic carbonates using tetrabutylammonium bromide as co-catalyst have been explored under mild reaction conditions (8 bar CO₂, 25 ⁰C). Styrene and propylene carbonates were formed with high yields (95% and 82%, respectively). Catalytic performance of Cr-MIL-101 was compared with other MOFs: Fe-MIL-101, Zn-MOF-5 and HKUST-1. The catalytic properties of different quaternary ammonium bromides, Cr-MIL-101 as well as PW₁₂/Cr-MIL-101 composite material have been assessed in oxidative carboxylation of styrene in the presence of both tert-butyl hydroperoxide and H₂O₂ as oxidants at 8–100 bar CO₂ and 25–80 ⁰C with selectivity to styrene carbonate up to 44% at 57% substrate conversion.     

Insoluble polystyrene-bound quaternary onium salt catalysts for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates by the reaction of oxiranes with carbon dioxide

The addition reaction of oxiranes ( 26a—e ) with carbon dioxide (CO₂) was performed using insoluble polystyrene beads containing pendant quaternary ammonium or phosphonium salts as catalysts under atmospheric pressure. The reaction of 26a—e with CO₂ proceeded smoothly catalyzed by 1–2 mol % of the polymer-supported quaternary onium salts to give the corresponding cyclic carbonates ( 27a—e ) in high yields at 80–90°C. In this reaction system, the catalytic activity of the polymer-supported quaternary onium salts was strongly affected by the following factors: degree of ring substitution (DRS) of the onium salt residues to the polymer, degree of crosslinking (DC) of the polystyrene beads, chain length of the alkylene spacer between the polymer back-bone and the onium salt, hydrophobicity of the alkyl group on the onium salts, and kind of onium salts. That is, the polymer-supported quaternary phosphonium salts with low DRS and DC and with long alkylene spacer chain were found to have higher catalytic activity than low molecualr weight quaternary onium salts. The above polymer-supported catalysts can easily be separated at the end of a reaction by filtration and can be reused for at least seven runs. It was also found that the rate of reaction was proportional to the products of catalyst concentration and oxirane concentration. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Synthesis of a Pyridine–Zinc‐Based Porous Organic Polymer for the Co‐catalyst‐Free Cycloaddition of Epoxides

The synthesis of solid catalysts for the co‐catalyst‐free cycloaddition of CO₂ has attracted much attention. Herein, we report a hierarchical porous organic polymer, Py‐Zn@MA, that is able to catalyze the cycloaddition reaction of epoxides and CO₂ without using any additives or co‐catalyst to afford turnover frequency (TOF) values as high as 250 and 97 h⁻¹ at 130 °C by using pure and diluted CO₂ (simulating flue gas), respectively. These results are superior to those obtained from previously reported heterogeneous co‐catalyst‐free systems. The high activity of Py‐Zn@MA is mainly attributed to its bifunctional nature with ZnBr₂ and pyridine activating the epoxide in a cooperative way. Notably, Py‐Zn@MA can be easily prepared on a large scale without using any catalyst and the chemicals are cost effective. Moreover, Py‐Zn@MA shows good substrate universality for the cycloaddition reactions of epoxides. Our designed porous organic polymer Py‐Zn@MA material has the potential to serve as an efficient catalyst for the direct conversion of flue gas with epoxides into value‐added cyclic carbonates.

The catalytic results showed that moderate to high yields of cyclic carbonates were obtained under the optimal reaction conditions. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Co‐Catalyst‐Free Chemical Fixation of CO2 into Cyclic Carbonates by using Metal‐Organic Frameworks as Efficient Heterogeneous Catalysts

The concentration of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere is increasing at an alarming rate resulting in undesirable environmental issues. To mitigate this growing concentration of CO₂, selective carbon capture and storage/sequestration (CCS) are being investigated intensively. However, CCS technology is considered as an expensive and energy‐intensive process. In this context, selective carbon capture and utilization (CCU) as a C1 feedstock to synthesize value‐added chemicals and fuels is a promising step towards lowering the concentration of the atmospheric CO₂ and for the production of high‐value chemicals. Towards this direction, several strategies have been developed to convert CO₂, a Greenhouse gas (GHG) into useful chemicals by forming C?N, C?O, C?C, and C?H bonds. Among the various CO₂ functionalization processes known, the cycloaddition of CO₂ to epoxides has gained considerable interest owing to its 100% atom‐economic nature producing cyclic carbonates or polycarbonates in high yield and selectivity. Among the various classes of catalysts studied for cycloaddition of CO₂ to cyclic carbonates, porous metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) have gained a special interest due to their modular nature facilitating the introduction of a high density of Lewis acidic (LA) and CO₂‐philic Lewis basic (LB) functionalities. However, most of the MOF‐based catalysts reported for cycloaddition of CO₂ to respective cyclic carbonates in high yields require additional co‐catalyst, say tetra‐n‐butylammonium bromide (TBAB). On the contrary, the co‐catalyst‐free conversion of CO₂ using rationally designed MOFs composed of both LA and LB sites is relatively less studied. In this review, we provide a comprehensive account of the research progress in the design of MOF based catalysts for environment‐friendly, co‐catalyst‐free fixation of CO₂ into cyclic carbonates.     

Bifunctional Boron Phosphate as an Efficient Catalyst for Epoxide Activation to Synthesize Cyclic Carbonates with CO2

Development of inexpensive, easily prepared, non‐toxic, and efficient catalysts for the cycloaddition of CO₂ with epoxides to synthesize five‐membered cyclic carbonates is a very attractive topic in the field of CO₂ transformation. In this work, we conducted the first work on the cycloaddition of CO₂ with epoxides to produce cyclic carbonates catalyzed by a binary catalyst system consisting of KI and boron phosphate (BPO₄), which are both inexpensive and non‐toxic, and various corresponding cyclic carbonates could be produced with high yields (93–99 %) at 110 °C with a CO₂ pressure of 4 MPa under solvent‐free conditions. In the BPO₄/KI catalyst system, BPO₄, a Brønsted and Lewis acid hybrid, played the role of activating the epoxy ring through the formation of hydrogen bonds with Brønsted acidic sites and the interaction with Lewis acidic sites simultaneously, and thus enhanced the activity of KI for the cycloaddition of CO₂ with epoxides significantly. Additionally, the activity of the BPO₄/KI catalyst system showed no noticeable decrease after being reused five times, indicating that the BPO₄ was stable under the reaction conditions.     

Titanocene dichloride/KI: an efficient catalytic system for synthesis of cyclic carbonates from epoxides and CO2

Titanocene dichloride (Cp₂TiCl₂)/KI was developed to be an efficient catalytic system for the cycloaddition of CO₂ to epoxides to synthesize relevant cyclic carbonates from epoxides and CO₂. Various influencing factors on the coupling reaction, such as co‐catalyst, temperature, CO₂ pressure and reaction time, were investigated. The optimal reaction conditions were KI as co‐catalyst, 150 °C reaction temperature, 12 atm CO₂ pressure and 4 h reaction time using THF as solvent for the synthesis of propylene carbonate in 98% yield.

Electrochemically Assisted Cycloaddition of Carbon Dioxide to Styrene Oxide on Copper/Carbon Hybrid Electrodes: Active Species and Reaction Mechanism

A novel electrochemically assisted cycloaddition process is proposed, in which highly efficient coupling of CO₂ with styrene oxide (SO) can be achieved to form styrene carbonate (SC) as a high-value-added product. A series of Cu catalysts with different morphologies and chemical states were fabricated on carbon paper (CP) by using in-situ electrodeposition, and the sample with nano-dendrimer structure was found to exhibit a relatively high activity of 74.8 % SC yield with 92.7 % SO conversion under gentle reaction conditions, thus showing its potential for practical applications. The relatively high electrochemically active surface area and charge transfer ability of dendrimer-like Cu benefited the electrochemical reaction. In particular, the Cu²⁺ species that were formed in situ during the reaction played a vital role in enhancing the activity and selectivity of the proposed Cu/CP hybrid catalyst. Cu²⁺ atoms served as active sites that can not only electrochemically activate CO₂ but also facilitate the ring opening of SO. Mechanistic analysis suggested that the reaction followed electrochemical and liquid-phase heterogeneous paths, which provide a new green and sustainable route for efficient utilization of CO₂ resources for fine chemical electrosynthesis.     

A Pyridinium-Pyridinium Zinc(II) Porphyrin Ion Porous Organic Polymer as Efficient Heterogeneous Catalyst for Cycloaddition of Epoxides with CO2

A zinc(II)porphyrin-based ion porous organic polymer (ZnTPyPBr₄-iPOP) is successfully synthesized from newly designed pyridinium-functionalized cationic Zn-porphyrin monomer (ZnTPyPBr₄) by free radical self-polymerization, and is employed as an efficient bifunctional heterogeneous catalyst for CO₂ cycloaddition reaction with epoxides. The ZnTPyPBr₄-iPOP exhibits excellent catalytic performance and good substrate expansion in CO₂ cycloaddition reaction under solvent-free and cocatalyst-free conditions with a TOF as high as 15,500 h⁻¹ for the cycloaddition of CO₂ and epichlorohydrin. The synergistic effect of zinc(II)porphyrin as the Lewis acidic site and the Br⁻ anion as the nucleophile in ZnTPyPBr₄-iPOP responds to the high catalytic activity. Moreover, ZnTPyPBr₄-iPOP can easily be recovered and reused at least seven times without the loss of activity. This work provides a valuable approach for the synthesis of novel and efficient heterogeneous catalyst for CO₂ cycloaddition.
