Cooperation between Pt and Ru on RuPt/AC bimetallic catalyst in the hydrogenation of phthalates

RuPt/AC bimetallic catalysts were pre pared by two-step incipient impregnation method and evaluated in the hydrogenation of phthalates.According to the characterization results,well dispersed Ru Pt bimetallic nanoparticles were formed on the catalyst,and the strong interaction between the two metals resulted in the formation of RuPt alloy.It was found that Ru can donate electrons to Pt on RuPt alloy nanoparticles,leading to the formation of electron-deficient Ru which significantly promotes the hydrogenation rate of dioctyl phthalate and improves the selectivity of dioctyl di-2-ethylhexylcyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxylate by accelerating the further hydrogenation of intermediate products.The bimetallic RuPt catalyst also presented excellent stability and versatility in the hydrogenation of phthalates,demonstrating its prospective future in the hydrogenation of aromatic ring contained compounds.     

M/C3N4/AC (M=Au,Pt,Ru)催化乙炔与二氯乙烷耦合反应:双功能催化剂性能如何?

聚氯乙烯是世界上产量最大的通用塑料,在日常生活的诸多领域具有广泛应用.按照原料来源划分,聚氯乙烯的工业生产方法主要有基于煤炭的电石法和基于石油的“平衡法”.我国有丰富的煤炭资源,因此,电石乙炔法是合成聚氯乙烯的主要途径.该方法采用乙炔与氯化氢在活性炭担载氯化汞催化剂上进行氢氯化反应得到聚氯乙烯的单体氯乙烯.然而,由于汞催化剂的挥发性以及毒性,开发汞替代催化剂迫在眉睫.乙炔与二氯乙烷耦合反应是将煤炭与石油资源共同利用来制备聚氯乙烯的一条极具吸引力的途径.相对于研究相对成熟的氢氯化反应,目前耦合反应的研究较少,所开发的催化剂活性与氢氯化体系相比仍有数量级的差距,反应机制仍存在较大争议.争议的焦点在于:二氯乙烷是通过先裂解产生氯化氢,后者再与乙炔发生氢氯化反应,还是二氯乙烷活化后直接与乙炔进行耦合反应.本文报道了一种通过结合预氧化-热裂解的新方法用于制备高活性、高稳定性氮化碳基催化剂,并且将其应用到二氯乙烷裂解反应中,获得较好的活性.表征结果表明,通过改变预氧化温度能够调控不同氮物种缺陷的分布,并发现较高的吡啶氮含量更有利于提高催化剂催化催化裂解反应的活性.进一步添加金属组分(金、铂和钌)修饰上述氮化碳催化剂构建了一系列M/C₃N₄/AC(M=Au,Pt,Ru)双金属催化剂.结合多种表征技术、稳态反应性能测试以及动力学研究发现,金属组分主要以氯化物的形式单原子分散在载体上,且金属的存在造成两种反应物分子在金属位点上的竞争吸附,因此催化剂在强化氢氯化反应的同时,也减弱了脱氯化氢反应性能,其催化耦合反应总体性能呈现如下趋势:Au/C₃N₄/AC>Pt/C₃N₄/AC>Ru/C₃N₄/AC.基于上述结论,通过装填C₃N₄/AC和单原子催化剂Au/C3N4/AC的串联反应器,实现了耦合反应的过程强化.综上可见,二氯乙烷脱氯化氢反应是乙炔与二氯乙烷耦合反应的必要步骤,未来催化剂的设计需要考虑到乙炔与二氯乙烷的活化需要不同的活性位点.     

Effect of Ru addition on the structural characteristics and the electrochemical activity for ethanol oxidation of carbon supported Pt–Sn alloy catalysts

Binary Pt–Sn/C (1:1) and ternary Pt–Sn–Ru/C (1:1:0.3 and 1:1:1) catalysts were synthesized by reduction of precursors with formic acid, and their activity for ethanol oxidation was compared with that of commercial Pt/C and Pt–Ru/C catalysts. Linear sweep voltammetry measurements at 40 and 90 °C showed that for potentials higher than 0.3 V vs. RHE, the Pt–Sn–Ru/C (1:1:0.3) catalyst presents the highest activity for ethanol electro-oxidation, while the electrochemical activity of the Pt–Sn–Ru/C (1:1:1) catalyst was lower than that of both the binary Pt–Sn/C and Pt–Ru/C catalysts. Tests in a single direct ethanol fuel cell confirmed the superior performance of the Pt–Sn–Ru/C (1:1:0.3) electrocatalyst. The positive effect of the Ru presence in the Pt–Sn–Ru/C (1:1:0.3) catalyst was ascribed to the interactions between Sn and Ru oxides.

Supported Ru catalysts prepared by two sonication-assisted methods for preferential oxidation of CO in H2

The preferential oxidation (PROX) of CO in the presence of H(2) is an important step in the production of pure H(2) for industrial applications. In this report, two sonochemical methods (S1 and S2) were used to prepare highly dispersed Ru catalysts supported on mesoporous TiO(2) (TiO(2)(MSP)) for the PROX reaction, in which a reaction gas mixture containing 1% CO + 1% O(2) + 18% CO(2) + 78% H(2) was used. The supported Ru catalysts performed better than the supported Au and Pt catalysts, and the S1 and S2 methods are superior to the impregnation method. The Ru/TiO(2)(MSP) catalysts were active for the PROX reaction below 200 °C and good for the methanation reactions of CO and CO(2) above 200 °C. The presence of residual chlorine in the catalysts severely suppressed their PROX reaction activity, and a higher dispersion of Ru particles led to better catalytic performances. The addition of Au in the Ru/TiO(2)(MSP) catalyst also caused a poorer catalytic activity for both the PROX and the methanation reactions. TPR results showed that in the active catalysts prepared by the S1 and S2 methods, the well dispersed Ru particles, after calcination in air, had a stronger interaction with the support than those in the catalyst prepared by the impregnation method and in the Au-Ru/TiO(2)(MSP) catalyst. In situ CO absorption experiments performed with the diffusion reflectance Fourier transform infra red (DRIFT) method showed that the bridged adsorbed CO species on isolated Ru(0) sites correlated with the catalytic performances, indicating that these isolated Ru(0) sites are the most active sites of the Ru/TiO(2)(MSP) catalysts in the PROX reaction.     

第二组分对Au/CeO2催化剂甲醇部分氧化性能的影响

本文研究了Pd、Pt、Ru和Ag对Au/CeO2催化剂以及Pd含量对Au-Pd/CeO2催化剂甲醇部分氧化性能的影响,并运用XRD、TPD和TPR等手段对Au/CeO2和Au-Pd/CeO2催化剂进行了表征.结果表明,Pd和Pt的加入能提高Au/CeO2催化剂的活性,而Ru和Ag的加入效果正好相反.不同的Au/Pd比对Au-Pd/CeO2催化剂的活性和H2选择性的影响不同,其中Au/Pd=60:40的效果最好,因为Au60Pd40/CeO2催化剂形成的富Au型AuxPdy较多,甲醇的吸附温度较低和对反应产物H2的吸附较少.

MIL-100(Fe) Supported Pt−Co Nanoparticles as Active and Selective Heterogeneous Catalysts for Hydrogenation of 1,3-Butadiene

Superior catalytic performance for selective 1,3-butadiene (1,3-BD) hydrogenation can usually be achieved with supported bimetallic catalysts. In this work, Pt−Co nanoparticles and Pt nanoparticles supported on metal–organic framework MIL-100(Fe) catalysts (MIL=Materials of Institut Lavoisier, PtCo/MIL-100(Fe) and Pt/MIL-100(Fe)) were synthesized via a simple impregnation reduction method, and their catalytic performance was investigated for the hydrogenation of 1,3-BD. Pt1Co1/MIL-100(Fe) presented better catalytic performance than Pt/MIL-100(Fe), with significantly enhanced total butene selectivity. Moreover, the secondary hydrogenation of butenes was effectively inhibited after doping with Co. The Pt1Co1/MIL-100(Fe) catalyst displayed good stability in the 1,3-BD hydrogenation reaction. No significant catalyst deactivation was observed during 9 h of hydrogenation, but its catalytic activity gradually reduces for the next 17 h. Carbon deposition on Pt1Co1/MIL-100(Fe) is the reason for its deactivation in 1,3-BD hydrogenation reaction. The spent Pt1Co1/MIL-100(Fe) catalyst could be regenerated at 200 °C, and regenerated catalysts displayed the similar 1,3-BD conversion and butene selectivity with fresh catalysts. Moreover, the rate-determining step of this reaction was hydrogen dissociation. The outstanding activity and total butene selectivity of the Pt1Co1/MIL-100(Fe) catalyst illustrate that Pt−Co bimetallic catalysts are an ideal alternative for replacing mono-noble-metal-based catalysts in selective 1,3-BD hydrogenation reactions.     

Supercritical,Freezing and Thermal Drying Process of Resorcinol‐Formaldehyde Polymer based Nano‐carbons and their Highly Loaded PtRu Anode Electrocatalyst for DMFC

The capillary condensation is affected by micropore and nanopore of catalyst layer on fuel cell. Due to limitation of sluggish mass transport and electrocatalytic activity, to retain the pore skeleton of carbon and metal nanoparticles are very significant for enhanced utilizations of pore structure in electrochemical reaction. Besides, thickness of electrocatalyst layer is very crucial due to one of the factor affected by cell performance of direct methanol fuel cell. Highly loaded four Pt?Ru anode catalysts supported on resorcinol‐formaldehyde (RF) polymer based on meso‐porous carbons (80 wt.% Pt?Ru/carbon cryogel, 80 wt.% Pt?Ru/carbon xerogel and 80 wt.% Pt?Ru/carbon aerogel) and conventional carbon (80 wt.% Pt?Ru/Vulcan XC‐72) were prepared by colloidal method for direct methanol fuel cell. These catalysts were characterized by X‐Ray diffraction (XRD), High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR‐TEM) and X‐ray photoemission (XPS). The results of CO stripping voltammetry, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and single cell test performed on DMFC show that Pt?Ru/carbon cryogel and Pt?Ru/carbon aerogel exhibits better performances in comparison to Pt?Ru/carbon xerogel and Pt?Ru/Vulcan XC‐72. It is thus considered that particle size, oxidation state of metal and electrochemical active surface area of these catalysts are important role in electrocatalytic activity in DMFC.     

Pd‐Pt/modified GO as an efficient and selective heterogeneous catalyst for the reduction of nitroaromatic compounds to amino aromatic compounds by the hydrogen source

In this work, different nitroaromatic compounds were successfully reduced to their corresponding aromatic amines with excellent conversion and selectivity in methanol at 50 °C by using Pd‐Pt nanoparticles immobilized on the modified grapheme oxide (m‐GO) and hydrogen as the reducing source. The catalytic efficiency of Pd and Pd‐Pt loading on the modified GO was investigated for the reduction of various nitroaromatic compounds, and the Pd‐Pt/m‐GO system demonstrated the highest conversion and selectivity. The catalyst was characterized by different techniques including FT‐IR, Raman, UV–Vis, XRD, BET, XPS, FESEM, EDS, and TEM. The metal nanoparticles with the size of less than 10 nm were uniformly distributed on the m‐GO. The catalyst could be reused at least five times without losing activity, showing the stability of the catalyst structure. Finally, the efficiency of the prepared catalyst was compared with Pd‐Pt/AC, and Pd‐Pt/GO catalysts.
