碳纳米管促进的Co-Mo-K硫化物基催化剂用于合成气制低碳混合醇

 以自行制备的多壁碳纳米管(CNT)作为添加剂,制备共沉淀型CNT促进的Co-Mo-K硫化物基催化剂. 实验发现,与未添加CNT的催化剂相比,添加少量CNT可显著提高CO的加氢转化活性和生成低碳醇的选择性. 在5.0 MPa, 623 K, V(CO)∶V(H2)∶V(N2)=45∶45∶10, GHSV=3600 ml/(g·h)的反应条件下, Co1Mo1K0.3-10%CNT催化剂上CO的转化率达21.6%, 相应的总醇(C1～4醇)时空产率为241.5 mg/(g·h), 产物中C2+醇/C1醇=1.39 (C基选择性比). 添加少量CNT并不会导致Co1Mo1K0.3硫化物基催化剂上CO加氢反应表观活化能发生明显变化,但却导致工作态催化剂表面催化活性Mo物种(Mo4+)的摩尔百分率有所提高; 另一方面, CNT促进的催化剂对H2有更强的吸附活化能力,并能在相当大程度上抑制水煤气变换副反应的发生. 这些因素有利于提高催化剂的活性和选择性.     

Clay-Supported Molybdenum-Based Catalysts for Higher Alcohol Synthesis from Syngas

A kind of clay-supported K-Co-Mo catalyst was prepared by a sol-gel method combined with incipient wetness impregnation. The catalyst structure was characterized by X-ray diffraction, N₂ adsorption-desorption, H₂ temperature-programmed reduction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy techniques and its catalytic performance for higher alcohol syn-thesis from syngas was investigated. The active components has a high dispersion on the clay support surface. The increase of the Mo loading promoted reduction of M⁶⁺ but had no signi cant in fluence on the reduction of Mo⁴⁺ and Co²⁺ species. After reduction, a kind of lower state Mo^δ+ (1<δ<4) species was observed on the surface. Compared with the unsupported catalyst, the clay supported K-Co-Mo catalysts showed much higher catalytic performance for alcohol formation. The reason can be explained that the supported catalyst have a high active surface area and the mesoporous structure prolonged the residence time of intermediates for alcohol formation to some extent, which promoted the formation of higher alcohols. The high activity of the catalyst reduced at 773 K may be attributed to the high content of Mo^δ+ (1<δ<4) species on the surface, which was regarded as the active site for the adsorption of nondissociative CO and responsible for the alcohol formation.     

Characterization and reactivity of nanoscale La(Co,Cu)O3 perovskite catalyst precursors for CO hydrogenation

The characterization of La(Co,Cu)O₃ perovskites has been performed by several techniques including XRD, BET, H₂-TPR, O₂-TPO, TPRS, and the solids tested as catalysts for the hydrogenation of CO. The reducibility of the perovskites is strongly affected by the preparation route, calcination temperature, catalyst morphology, and the amount of remnant alkali. Compared with the citrate-derived perovskite, LaCoO₃ sample prepared by mechano-synthesis has various distinct Co³⁺ ions in perovskite lattice, which are reduced at different temperatures. Under typical conditions, the reduction of cobalt ions occurs in two consecutive steps: Co³⁺/Co²⁺ and Co²⁺/Co⁰, while the intra-lattice copper ions are directly reduced from Cu²⁺ to Cu⁰. The reducibility of cobalt ions is promoted by the presence of metallic copper, which is formed at a lower reduction temperature. The re-oxidation of the reduced lanthanum cobaltite perovskite could regenerate the original structure, whereas that of the reduced Co-Cu-based samples is less reversible under the same experimental conditions.The cobalt atom in the reduced perovskites plays an important role in the dissociation of CO, but the presence of a neighboring copper along with remnant sodium ions on the catalyst surface has remarkably affected the reactivity of cobalt for CO hydrogenation. The addition of copper into the perovskite framework leads to a change in the product distribution of CO hydrogenation and a decrease in reaction temperature. An increased copper content leads to a substantial decline in the rate of methanation and an increase in the formation of higher alcohols. A close proximity between cobalt and copper sites on the Na⁺-modified catalyst surface of the reduced nanocrystalline Co-Cu-based perovskites plays a crucial role in the synthesis of higher alcohols from syngas.     

Widely Controllable Syngas Production by a Dye‐Sensitized TiO2 Hybrid System with ReI and CoIII Catalysts under Visible‐Light Irradiation

Visible‐light irradiation of a ternary hybrid catalyst prepared by grafting a dye, an H₂ evolving Co^III catalyst and a CO‐producing Re^I catalyst on TiO₂ have been found to produce both H₂ and CO (syngas) in CO₂‐saturated N ,N ‐dimethyl formamide (DMF)/water solution containing a 0.1 m sacrificial electron donor. The H₂/CO ratios are effectively controlled by changing either the water content of the solvent or the molar ratio of the Re^I and Co^III catalysts ranging from 1:2 to 15:1. The controlled syngas formation is discussed in terms of competitive electron flow from TiO₂ to each of the CO₂‐reduction and hydrogen‐evolving sites depending on the efficiencies of the two catalytic reaction cycles under given reaction conditions.     

H2-induced CO adsorption and dissociation over Co/Al2O3 catalyst

The activation of adsorbed CO is an important step in CO hydrogenation. The results from TPSR of pre-adsorbed CO with H2 and syngas suggested that the presence of H2 increased the amount of CO adsorption and accelerated CO dissociation. The H2 was adsorbed first, and activated to form H＊ over metal sites, then reacted with carbonaceous species. The oxygen species for CO2 formation in the presence of hydrogen was mostly OH^＊, which reacted with adsorbed CO subsequently via CO^＊＋OH^＊ → CO2^＊＋H^＊; however, the direct CO dissociation was not excluded in CO hydrogenation. The dissociation of C-O bond in the presence of H2 proceeded by a concerted mechanism, which assisted the Boudourd reaction of adsorbed CO on the surface via CO^＊＋2H^＊ → CH^＊＋OH^＊. The formation of the surface species （CH） from adsorbed CO proceeded as indicated with the participation of surface hydrogen, was favored in the initial step of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.     

微量Li助剂对Co/AC催化剂合成高碳醇性能的影响

采用等体积浸渍法制备了含微量Li 的15Co_xLi/AC 催化剂,考察了微量Li 助剂对15Co/AC催化剂上CO加氢合成高碳醇性能的影响. 采用X射线衍射、程序升温还原和程序升温表面反应技术对15Co_xLi/AC 催化剂进行了表征,结果表明,微量Li 的添加可以提高催化剂上CO加氢活性、生成C₅₊烃的选择性、合成醇的选择性以及高碳醇的分布. 这主要是由于微量Li 助剂与Co物种形成了弱相互作用,促进了催化剂Co物种的分散,形成较小Co晶粒,促进了Co₂C的形成.     

Catalytic performance of Fe modified K/MO2C catalyst for CO hydrogenation

Fe modified and un-modified K/Mo2C were prepared and investigated as catalysts for CO hydrogenation reaction. Compared with K/Mo2C catalyst, the addition of Fe increased the production of alcohols, especially the C2+OH. Meanwhile, considerable amounts of C5+ hydrocar- bons and C2= -C4= were formed, whereas methane selectivity greatly decreased. Also, the activity and selectivity of the catalyst were readily affected by the reaction pressure and temperature employed. According to the XPS results, Mo4+ might be responsible for the production of alcohols, whereas the low valence state of Mo species such as Mo0 and/or Mo2+ might be account for the high activity and selectivity toward hydrocarbons.     

Ce-Cu-Co/CNTs催化剂催化合成气制低碳醇及乙醇的研究

采用共浸渍法制备了不同Ce含量的Ce-Cu-Co/CNTs 催化剂, 考察了其在合成气制低碳醇反应中的催化性能, 借助X射线衍射(XRD)、程序升温还原(H₂-TPR)、N₂吸脱附实验(BET)、透射电镜(TEM)和CO程序升温脱附(CO-TPD)对这些催化剂进行了表征. 结果表明, 当Ce的质量分数为3%时, 低碳醇的时空收率和选择性达到最高, 分别为696.4 mg·g^-1·h^-1和59.7%, 其中乙醇占总醇的46.8%, 适量Ce的添加能提高Cu物种在催化剂上的分散度和催化剂的还原性能, 能显著地增加催化剂吸附CO的能力, 促进合成醇活性位的形成, 进而明显提高催化剂的活性和总醇的选择性. 研究表明, 将具有高活性和高碳链增长能力的CuCo基催化剂与碳纳米管的限域效应结合, 可实现缩窄产物分布、大幅度提高乙醇选择性的目的.     

焙烧温度对K改性Ag-Fe/ZnO-ZrO2催化剂结构和CO加氢合成低碳混合醇醚性能的影响

采用并流共沉淀法在不同焙烧温度下制备K改性Ag-Fe/ZnO-ZrO₂催化剂,考察不同焙烧温度对催化剂CO加氢合成低碳混合醇醚反应性能的影响。通过N₂物理吸附(N₂-adsorption)、X射线衍射(XRD)、氢气程序升温还原(H₂-TPR)、一氧化碳程序升温脱附(CO-TPD)等手段对催化剂进行表征。结果表明,250 ℃焙烧的催化剂,由于焙烧温度较低,表面尚未形成足够多的活性位,未能达到最佳的催化性能;300 ℃焙烧的催化剂,其CO转化率最高、醇醚选择性较高,醇醚时空产率达到最大值。随着焙烧温度进一步升高,CO转化率逐渐降低,醇选择性先降低后增大,二甲醚(DME)选择性逐渐增大,醇醚时空产率逐渐降低。催化剂性能主要与其比表面积、还原性能、所含银铁复合物分散度及CO吸脱附性能有关,即比表面积较大、易于被还原、银铁复合物分散度较高以及较多的CO吸脱附活性位,有利于催化剂CO加氢转化。催化剂表面活性位对CO的非解离吸附强度降低,有利于醇醚产物的生成;而对CO的解离吸附强度增强,则不利于烃类产物的生成。     

Cobalt salts of decamolybdodicobaltic acid as precursors of the highly reactive type II CoMoS phase in hydrorefining catalysts

Catalysts have been synthesized using the Anderson polyoxometalates (POMs) (NH₄)₄[Ni(OH)₆Mo₆O₁₈] (NiMo₆POM), (NH₄)₆[Co₂Mo₁₀O₃₈H₄] · 7H₂O (Co₂Mo₁₀POM), and H₆[Co₂Mo₁₀O₃₈H₄] (Co₂Mo₁₀HPA) as the precursors and hydrogen peroxide as the solvent. The catalysts have been characterized by low-temperature nitrogen adsorption, XPS, and HRTEM. Their catalytic properties have been tested in thiophene hydrodesulfurization and in the hydrodesulfurization and hydrogenation of components of diesel oil. The active phase of the catalysts synthesized using the POMs is the type II CoMoS phase in which the mean plate length is 3.6–3.9 nm and the mean number of MoS₂ plate per plate packet is 1.8–2.0. Use of hydrogen peroxide provides an efficient means to reduce the proportion of Co²⁺ promoter atoms surrounded by oxygen in the case of an impregnating solution containing both an ammonium salt of a heteropoly acid and a Co²⁺ salt. In the catalysts synthesized using cobalt salts of Co₂Mo₁₀HPA, the support surface contains the multilayer type II CoMoS phase and cobalt sulfides. These catalyst show high catalytic properties in thiophene hydrogenolysis and diesel oil hydrorefining. Models are suggested for the catalysts synthesized using Anderson POMs.     

Efficient Ni-based catalysts for low-temperature reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) reaction

CO₂ hydrogenation for syngas can alleviate the pressure of un-controlled emissions of CO₂ and bring enormous economic benefits. Advantageous Ni-catalysts have good CO₂ hydrogenation activity and high CO selectivity merely over 700 °C. Herein, we introduced Cu into Ni catalysts, which were evaluated by H₂-TPR, XRD, BET, in-situ XPS and CO₂-TPD, and their CO₂ hydrogenation activity and CO selectivity were significantly affected by the Ni/Cu ratios, which was rationalized by the synergistic effect of bimetallic catalysts. In addition, the reduction temperatures of studied catalysts apparently affected the CO₂ hydrogenation, which were caused by the number and dispersion of the active species. It's found that the Ni₁Cu₁-400 had good stability, high CO selectivity (up to 90%), and fast formation rate (1.81×10⁻⁵ mol/g_cat/s) at 400 °C, which demonstrated a good potential as a superior catalyst for reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) reaction.     

Mo_2C/γ-Al_2O_3催化剂上苯加氢反应的原位红外光谱研究

采用程序升温反应法制备了钝化态、还原钝化态和新鲜态Mo2C/γ-Al2O3催化剂,结合原位红外光谱表征技术和反应性能评价,考察、比较了三种催化剂苯加氢反应活性.原位红外光谱结果表明,新鲜态Mo2C/γ-Al2O3催化剂在室温就显示了较好的苯加氢反应活性,表现了类贵金属的催化活性.CO吸附在反应前后新鲜态Mo2C/γ-Al2O3催化剂上的对比结果表明,低价态的Mo位(Moδ+(0δ2))是苯加氢反应活性中心.三种催化剂的反应活性结果表明,新鲜态Mo2C/γ-Al2O3催化剂反应活性最好,催化剂寿命最长,失活之后在500°C下H2处理即可恢复原有活性.     

Pt/MOx(M=Ni,Fe,Co,Ce)催化剂上CO氧化反应中抗H2O与CO2的性能研究

我们研究了4种负载型Pt催化剂（1Pt/NiO、1Pt/FeO_x、1Pt/Co₃O₄和Pt/CeO₂）上不同反应条件下CO氧化活性及抗H₂O和CO₂性能.发现反应气氛中CO₂的加入与CO形成了竞争吸附,并在催化剂表面形成了碳酸盐物种堵塞了活性位,从而导致催化剂失活.反应气氛中H₂O的加入对1Pt/CeO₂催化剂的活性有所抑制,但对1Pt/FeO_x、1Pt/NiO和1Pt/Co₃O₄催化剂的活性却有促进作用.在1Pt/FeO_x和1Pt/CeO₂催化剂上的分步反应实验和动力学研究表明,尽管H₂O的加入在两种催化剂上均与CO形成了竞争吸附,但在1Pt/FeO_x催化剂上H₂O在载体表面解离形成的羟基更易与CO反应,开辟了新的反应途径,从而提高了反应性能.此外,H₂O的加入能有效分解该催化剂上的碳酸盐物种,从而保持了其稳定性.     

FeMn、FeMnNa和FeMnK催化剂上合成气制低碳烯烃的比较

研究了钠、钾助剂对FeMn 合成低碳烯烃催化剂结构及性能的影响. 低温N₂吸附、X射线光电子能谱（XPS）、X射线衍射（XRD）、H₂程序升温还原（H₂-TPR）、CO/CO₂程序升温脱附（CO/CO₂-TPD）、Mössbauer 谱和CO+H₂反应的研究结果表明,增加Mn助剂含量促进了活性相的分散和低碳烯烃的生成,而过多锰助剂在催化剂表面的富集则降低了费托合成反应的CO转化率;钾助剂和钠助剂的加入均抑制了催化剂的还原并且促进了CO₂和CO的吸附. 比较还原后（H₂/CO摩尔比为20）和反应后（H₂/CO摩尔比为3.5）催化剂的体相结构可以发现,在FeMn、FeMnNa和FeMnK催化剂中,由于钾助剂的碱性和CO吸附能力较强,因此体相中FeC_x的含量相对较高;而活性测试结果表明,FeMnNa催化剂拥有最好的CO转化率（96.2%）和低碳烯烃选择性（30.5%,摩尔分数）.     

Synthesis of Higher Alcohols via Syngas on Cu/Zn/Si Catalysts. Effect of Polyethylene Glycol Content

Cu/Zn/Si catalysts with different polyethylene glycol (PEG) content were prepared by a complete liquid-phase method, and characterized by XRD, H₂-TPR, N₂-adsorption, and XPS. The influence of PEG content on the higher alcohols synthesis from syngas was investigated. The results showed that addition of PEG can influence the texture and surface properties of the catalysts, and therefore affect their activity and product distribution. With an increase in PEG content, BET surface area, Cu crystallite size and surface active ingredient content of the catalysts first increased and then decreased, the CO conversion had similar variation tendency. However, the pore volume and pore diameter of the catalyst increased, and the binding energy of the active component and the content of Cu₂O decreased, which resulted in higher catalyst selectivity towards higher alcohols. The highest C²⁺OH selectivity in total alcohols was 60.6 wt %.     

Study of K/Mn-MgO Supported Fe Catalysts with Fe（CO）5 and Fe（NO3）3 as Precursors for CO Hydrogenation to Light Alkenes

Two K/Mn-MgO supported catalysts were prepared by Fe（CO）5 and Fe（NO3）3 as precursor respectively. The obtained Fe-K/Mn-MgO catalysts were tested for CO hydrogenation to light alkenes and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction （XRD）, X-ray photoelectron spectra （XPS）, H2 temperature-programmed reduction （H2-TPR）, H2 CO and CO2 temperature-programmed desorption （H2, CO/CO2-TPD） and transmission electron microscope （TEM） The results indicated that the catalyst with 10 wt% Fe loading prepared by Fe（CO）5 as precursor showed better performance in syngas to light alkenes than ones obtained from Fe（NO3）3 as precursor, where the CO conversion was 62.50% and the selectivity was 55.95% at 350 ℃, 1.5 MPa and 1000 h^-1, respectively.     

Electrochemical Conversion of CO2 to Syngas with Controllable CO/H2 Ratios over Co and Ni Single‐Atom Catalysts

The electrochemical CO₂ reduction reaction (CO₂RR) to yield synthesis gas (syngas, CO and H₂) has been considered as a promising method to realize the net reduction in CO₂ emission. However, it is challenging to balance the CO₂RR activity and the CO/H₂ ratio. To address this issue, nitrogen‐doped carbon supported single‐atom catalysts are designed as electrocatalysts to produce syngas from CO₂RR. While Co and Ni single‐atom catalysts are selective in producing H₂ and CO, respectively, electrocatalysts containing both Co and Ni show a high syngas evolution (total current >74 mA cm^?2) with CO/H₂ ratios (0.23–2.26) that are suitable for typical downstream thermochemical reactions. Density functional theory calculations provide insights into the key intermediates on Co and Ni single‐atom configurations for the H₂ and CO evolution. The results present a useful case on how non‐precious transition metal species can maintain high CO₂RR activity with tunable CO/H₂ ratios.

Chemoselective Electrochemical Hydrogenation of Ketones and Aldehydes with a Well-Defined Base-Metal Catalyst

Hydrogenation reactions are fundamental functional group transformations in chemical synthesis. Here, we introduce an electrochemical method for the hydrogenation of ketones and aldehydes by in situ formation of a Mn-H species. We utilise protons and electric current as surrogate for H₂ and a base-metal complex to form selectively the alcohols. The method is chemoselective for the hydrogenation of C=O bonds over C=C bonds. Mechanistic studies revealed initial 3 e⁻ reduction of the catalyst forming the steady state species [Mn₂(H₋₁L)(CO)₆]⁻. Subsequently, we assume protonation, reduction and internal proton shift forming the hydride species. Finally, the transfer of the hydride and a proton to the ketone yields the alcohol and the steady state species is regenerated via reduction. The interplay of two manganese centres and the internal proton relay represent the key features for ketone and aldehyde reduction as the respective mononuclear complex and the complex without the proton relay are barely active.     

Characterization and catalytic behavior of EDTA modified silica nanosprings (NS)-supported cobalt catalyst for Fischer-Tropsch CO-hydrogenation

The effect of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid(EDTA) modification on the physico-chemical properties and catalytic performance of silica nanosprings(NS) supported cobalt(Co) catalyst was investigated in the conversion of syngas(H~(2+) CO) to hydrocarbons by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis(FTS). The unmodified Co/NS and modified Co/NS-EDTA catalysts were synthesized via an impregnation method. The prepared Co/NS and Co/NS-EDTA catalysts were characterized before the FTS reaction by BET surface area,X-ray diffraction(XRD),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),temperature programmed reduction(TPR),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),differential thermal analysis(DTA) and thermogravimetric analysis(TGA) in order to find correlations between physico-chemical properties of catalysts and catalytic performance. FTS was carried out in a quartz fixedbed microreactor(H_2/CO of 2 ∶1,230 ℃ and atmospheric pressure) and the products trapped and analyzed by GC-TCD and GC-MS to determine CO conversion and reaction selectivity. The experimental results indicated that the modified Co/NS-EDTA catalyst displayed a more-dispersed phase of Co_3O_4 nanoparticles(10.9%) and the Co_3O_4 average crystallite size was about 12.4 nm. The EDTA modified catalyst showed relatively higher CO conversion(70.3%) and selectivity toward C_(6-18)(JP-8,Jet A and diesel) than the Co/NS catalyst(C_(6-14))(JP-4).
