以乙酰丙酮铜Cu(acac)₂为铜源、 NH₄Y分子筛为载体, 采用固相反应制备了无氯CuY催化剂, 考察了在甲醇氧化羰基化合成碳酸二甲酯过程中固相反应温度和Cu负载量对CuY催化剂催化性能的影响, 分析了CuY催化剂物相结构、 可还原性Cu物种和织构性质对催化性能的影响. 结果表明, 随着固相反应温度的升高, 与NH₄Y中N\begin{array}{c}{H}_4^{+}\end{array}发生离子交换的Cu²⁺交换度和活性中心Cu⁺含量先增大后降低, CuY催化剂活性也呈现出相同的变化趋势; 负载量(质量分数)低于10%时, 受分子筛残留B酸位影响, 碳酸二甲酯的选择性较低, 而负载量高于12%时, CuY催化剂中出现了CuO物种, 且粒子逐渐长大, 覆盖部分活性中心, 甚至堵塞孔道, 使催化剂活性降低. 当固相反应温度为250 ℃, Cu负载量为12%时, 活性中心Cu⁺含量最高, 催化剂表现出最佳的催化活性, 碳酸二甲酯基于甲醇的时空收率为267.3 mg·g^-1·h^-1, 甲醇转化率为6.9%, 碳酸二甲酯(DMC)的选择性为69.2%.

Negative Charging of Au Nanoparticles during Methanol Synthesis from CO2/H2 on a Au/ZnO Catalyst: Insights from Operando IR and Near‐Ambient‐Pressure XPS and XAS Measurements

The electronic and structural properties of Au/ZnO under industrial and idealized methanol synthesis conditions have been investigated. This was achieved by kinetic measurements in combination with time‐resolved operando infrared (DRIFTS) as well as in situ near‐ambient pressure X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (NAP‐XPS) and X‐ray absorption near‐edge spectroscopy (XANES) measurements at the O K‐edge together with high‐resolution electron microscopy. The adsorption of CO during the reaction revealed the presence of negatively charged Au nanoparticles/Au sites during the initial phase of the reaction. Near‐ambient‐pressure XPS and XANES demonstrate the build‐up of O vacancies during the reaction, which goes along with a substantial increase in the rate of methanol formation. The results are discussed in comparison with previous findings for Cu/ZnO and Au/ZnO catalysts.     

Bi‐Microporous Metal–Organic Frameworks with Cubane [M4(OH)4] (M=Ni,Co) Clusters and Pore‐Space Partition for Electrocatalytic Methanol Oxidation Reaction

Embedding cubane [M₄(OH)₄] (M=Ni, Co) clusters within the matrix of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is a strategy to develop materials with unprecedented synergistic properties. Herein, a new material type based on the pore‐space partition of the cubic primitive minimal‐surface net (MOF‐14‐type) has been realized. CTGU‐15 made from the [Ni₄(OH)₄] cluster not only has very high BET surface area (3537 m² g^?1), but also exhibits bi‐microporous features with well‐defined micropores at 0.86 nm and 1.51 nm. Furthermore, CTGU‐15 is stable even under high pH (0.1 m KOH), making it well suited for methanol oxidation in basic medium. The optimal hybrid catalyst KB&CTGU‐15 (1:2) made from ketjen black (KB) and CTGU‐15 exhibits an outstanding performance with a high mass specific peak current of 527 mA mg^?1 and excellent peak current density (29.8 mA cm^?2) at low potential (0.6 V). The isostructural cobalt structure (CTGU‐16) has also been synthesized, further expanding the application potential of this material type.     

DFT Study of Methanol Adsorption on Defect-Free CeO2 Low-Index Surfaces

Methanol decomposition is a promising method for hydrogen production. However, the performance of current catalysts for this process is not sufficient for commercial applications. In this work, methanol adsorption on the CeO₂ low-index surfaces is studied by density functional theory (DFT). The results show that methanol always dissociates spontaneously on the (100) surface, whereas dissociation on the (110) surface is site-selective; dissociation does not occur at all on the (111) surface, where only weak physisorption is found. The results confirm that surfaces with higher energies are more catalytically active. Analysis of the surface geometries shows that the dominant factors for the dissociation of methanol are the degree of undercoordination and the charges of the surface ions. The adsorption energy of each methanol molecule decreases with increasing coverage and there is a transition threshold between dissociative and associative adsorption. The present work indicates that a strategy to design catalysts with high activity is to maximize exposure of surfaces on which the ions have a high degree of undercoordination and a strong tendency to donate/accept electrons. The results demonstrate the importance of appropriately selecting and controlling exposed facets and particle morphology for optimizing catalyst performance.     

Hydrogen bonding and clusters in supercritical methanol–water mixture by neutron diffraction with H/D substitution combined with empirical potential structure refinement modelling

ABSTRACT

Neutron diffraction measurements of H/D isotopic substitution have been performed for seven H/D substituted methanol-water mixtures of 0.3?mol fraction of methanol (x_M) under the supercritical (618?K, 100?MPa) and ambient (298?K, 0.1?MPa) conditions. The seven structure factors obtained were subjected to an empirical potential structure refinement (EPSR) modelling to derive all site-site pair correlation functions, coordination number distributions, spatial density functions, and cluster distributions. Water has a four coordinated structure in the first coordination shell under both ambient and supercritical conditions; however, the spatial density distribution of water molecules in the second coordination shell is delocalised under the supercritical condition. The mean coordination number of all atomic pairs with hydrophilic interactions decreases in the supercritical state. On the other hand, the mean coordination number of interactions between the hydrophobic part of methanol and water molecule is less sensitive to temperature. In the supercritical condition, water clusters with a wide size distribution are generated in a methanol-water mixture as well as in pure water. Since the critical temperature of a methanol-water mixture is lower than that of pure water, it can be concluded that the addition of methanol can generate fragment water clusters at a lower temperature.

微流控合成高活性甲醇氧化碳载铂钌电催化剂

报道了一种以微流控技术制备对甲醇具有高效电氧化催化活性的碳载PtRu催化剂(PtRu/C)的方法。 通过改变反应液在微流控反应器中的流速,得到了一系列纳米粒径分布在1.4~2.0 nm范围内的PtRu/C催化剂。 对这些催化剂进行电化学测试发现,当反应液以90 μL/min的流速流经微流控反应器时制得的催化剂具有最高催化活性。 进一步研究发现,这是由于在该流速制得的催化剂具有较大的电化学活性面积和较高含量的Pt(0)。 该种制备催化剂的方法在能源转化和环境领域有望被广泛使用。
