Highly Dispersed CoNi Alloy Embedded in N-doped Graphitic Carbon for Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation of Biomass-derived Furfural

The development of efficient, stable, and cost-effective heterogeneous catalysts for catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) of biomass-derived furfural (FAL) is highly desired. Herein, series of N-doped graphitic carbon embedded CoNi bimetallic alloy nanoparticles were fabricated and used for the CTH of FAL to value-added furfuryl alcohol (FOL) with renewable isopropanol as hydrogen donor. Intrinsic catalytic activity examination indicated the catalytic performance of Ni_xCo_y@NGC (x:y=1 : 3, 1 : 1, 3 : 1) nanocatalysts were sensitive to their chemical compositions. The optimal Ni₁Co₁@NGC nanocatalyst with Ni/Co mole ratio of 1 : 1 afforded a largest FOL yield of 89.3% with nearly full conversion of FAL. The synergistic effect enabled by bimetallic alloys and the abundant N-based Lewis base sites and surface Co−N active species were revealed based on systematic structural characterization, responsible for the excellent catalytic efficiency of bimetallic Ni₁Co₁@NGC nanocatalyst for CTH of FAL.     

杂多酸盐在Raney Ni和Raney Co表面上的状态

采用XPS表面分析技术研究了Cu3/2PMo12O40改性Raney Ni和Raney Co的表面状态,结果表明,Raney Ni和Raney Co表面上的Cu3/2PMo12O40分子中的Cu2＋和Mo6＋发生了很大变化,Cu2＋被还原为Cu0,而Mo6＋被部分还原为Mo5＋和Mo4＋.这些变化可归因于Raney Ni和Raney Co在制备过程中表面吸附的活泼氢所致.由于Raney Ni表面吸附的氢比Raney Co表面吸附的氢的活性高,使得Raney Ni表面的Mo6＋被还原到Mo5＋和Mo4＋的量多.混合价态Mo的存在提高了羰基在催化剂表面吸附和活化的能力,同时Cu0的存在有助于羰基的加氢反应.所以,混合价态的Mo和Cu0对羰基加氢起着协同的作用.

Design of CuCs-doped Ag-based Catalyst for Ethylene Epoxidation

Our recent theoretical studies have screened out CuCs-doped Ag-based promising catalysts for ethylene epoxidation [ACS Catal. 11 , 3371 (2021)]. The theoretical results were based on surface modeling, while in the actual reaction process Ag catalysts are particle shaped. In this work, we combine density functional theory (DFT), Wulff construction theory, and micro kinetic analysis to study the catalytic performance of Ag catalysts at the particle model. It demonstrates that the CuCs-doped Ag catalysts are superior to pure Ag catalysts in terms of selectivity and activity, which is further proved by experimental validation. The characterization analysis finds that both Cu and Cs dopant promote particle growth as well as particle dispersion, resulting in a grain boundary-rich Ag particle. Besides, CuCs also facilitate electrophilic atomic oxygen formation on catalyst surface, which is benefitial for ethylene oxide formation and desorption. Our work provides a case study for catalyst design by combining theory and experiment.

Atomically Dispersed Cobalt/Copper Dual-Metal Catalysts for Synergistically Boosting Hydrogen Generation from Formic Acid

The development of practical materials for (de)hydrogenation reactions is a prerequisite for the launch of a sustainable hydrogen economy. Herein, we present the design and construction of an atomically dispersed dual-metal site Co/Cu−N−C catalyst allowing significantly improved dehydrogenation of formic acid, which is available from carbon dioxide and green hydrogen. The active catalyst centers consist of specific CoCuN₆ moieties with double-N-bridged adjacent metal-N₄ clusters decorated on a nitrogen-doped carbon support. At optimal conditions the dehydrogenation performance of the nanostructured material (mass activity 77.7 L ⋅ g_metal⁻¹ ⋅ h⁻¹) is up to 40 times higher compared to commercial 5 % Pd/C. In situ spectroscopic and kinetic isotope effect experiments indicate that Co/Cu−N−C promoted formic acid dehydrogenation follows the so-called formate pathway with the C−H dissociation of HCOO* as the rate-determining step. Theoretical calculations reveal that Cu in the CoCuN₆ moiety synergistically contributes to the adsorption of intermediate HCOO* and raises the d-band center of Co to favor HCOO* activation and thereby lower the reaction energy barrier.

Catalytic transfer hydrogenation of cyclodextrin azides and benzylated glucose derivatives

Debenzylation by catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) of various organic compounds is a simple, fast, and safe method. Though CTH is widely used in reductions, only few data are available for the conversion of azides to amines. The number of usable transfer compounds is limited in cases of sugar derivatives, as the most common transfer materials, e.g. hydrazine hydrate or formic acid, can compete in side-reactions. The present study explores the limits of the reaction parameters and transfer compounds.A part of this publication was presented at EUROCARB VII, Cracow, Poland, 22–27 Aug. 1993.Dedicated to Professor József Szejtli.     

Selective hydrogenation of 1,3-pentadiene over mono- and bimetallic sulfidized Ni(Cu)—S/SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> catalysts

The activity and selectivity of the Ni/SiO₂ catalyst, as well as the mono- and bimetallic Ni(Cu)—S/SiO₂ systems were investigated in the selective hydrogenation of 1,3-pentadiene to pentenes. The presulfiding of the catalysts in a hydrogen sulfide flow substantially increases the selectivity to olefins in gas mixtures with a range of H₂/diene molar ratio of 2.5–10. The samples activated in hydrogen at elevated temperatures turned out to be more active. The effect of modification of the nickel—sulfide catalysts with copper, resulting in an increase in the activity and selectivity to olefins, was found. The weight ratio Ni/Cu = 4 was shown to be optimum for achieving the maximum conversion and selectivity on the surface.     

Ca对Cu/B/Ca/Al_2O_3结构及其催化醋酸仲丁酯加氢反应性能的影响

以γ-Al2O3为载体采用分步浸渍法制备了不同Ca O含量的Cu/B/Ca/Al2O3催化剂,并测试了其催化醋酸仲丁酯加氢制备仲丁醇的反应性能.Ca O含量对催化剂的结构、氧化还原性能、酸碱性和金属铜分散度的影响分别采用XRD、H2-TPR、XPS、NH3-TPD和N2O-H2氧化还原滴定实验进行分析.结果表明,适量氧化钙的引入对金属铜的分散度无明显影响,过量的氧化钙(20%)降低催化剂的比表面积,进而导致金属铜分散度的降低;但钙作为给电子助剂能够补偿电子从铜向氧化硼之间的迁移,提高催化剂的酯加氢活性.同时,氧化钙的引入能够有效消除Cu/B/Ca/Al2O3催化剂表面的强酸性位点并降低催化剂的酸量,减少醋酸仲丁酯加氢反应中酸催化副产物以及催化剂表面积碳的生成.     

Variable catalytic behavior of Nb, Mo, Ta, W, and Re halide clusters: Isomerization of alkynes to conjugated dienes under nitrogen and hydrogenation to alkenes under hydrogen

When a tantalum chloride cluster [(Ta₆Cl₁₂)Cl₂(H₂O)₄]·4H₂O (1) was treated in a nitrogen stream at temperatures above 300 °C, a catalytic activity developed for the isomerization of pentynes and hexynes to the corresponding conjugated dienes with smaller amounts of allenes. Niobium and tungsten clusters with the same metal framework also catalyzed the reactions. In a hydrogen stream, niobium, molybdenum, and tungsten clusters, and a trinuclear rhenium cluster catalyzed the partial hydrogenation of alkynes to the corresponding alkenes. The isomerization activity was ascribed to the Brønsted acidity of hydroxo species of the activated cluster complexes, and the hydrogenation activity was attributed to the nature of the metal atoms incorporated in the cluster.

负载铂催化剂中沸石载体酸性对甲烷两步转化的影响

考察了具有相同金属分散度的Pt/NaY、Pt/HNaY、 Pt/HY、Pt/NaBeta和Pt/HBeta催化剂中沸石载体的酸性对在低温下（≤250 ℃）甲烷两步等温转化反应以及由甲烷解离吸附产生的表面碳物种分布的影响。由甲烷等温两步转化生成的C2+烃类产物的总量随着载体酸性的增加而明显增加;C2～C6产物的分布也发生了变化。由表面碳物种的程序升温加氢结果表明,在各种催化剂上碳物种的形式是相似的,其总量和具有活性的Cα物种的量均因载体酸性增加而增加,反应性也增大。这种因沸石载体酸性变化而引起的载体效应是由金属和载体的相互作用造成负载在酸性载体上铂粒子的贫电子性而引起,即由金属粒子电子性质的变化而引起的催化性质的变化。     

Cu/ZnO催化糠醛气相加氢制2-甲基呋喃的研究

通过共沉淀法制备一系列铜锌催化剂,用于固定床上糠醛气相加氢制2-甲基呋喃的研究。采用X射线衍射仪(XRD)、N_2吸附-脱附、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、H_2-程序升温还原(H_2-TPR)、NH_3-程序升温脱附(NH_3-TPD)表征,分析催化剂中Cu0和ZnO在催化反应中的作用。结果表明,Cu~0是糠醛加氢的活性中心,氧化锌的加入减小了催化剂晶粒粒径、增大了催化剂比表面积、利于催化剂还原和增加催化剂表面弱酸性位。当Cu/Zn物质的量比为1∶2时,Cu_1Zn_2催化剂具有适宜氧化还原活性中心及弱酸位数量,对2-甲基呋喃表现出较高的选择性。Cu_1Zn_2催化剂在常压、反应温度为200℃、氢醛物质的量比为4∶1、糠醛体积空速为0.3 h-1条件下,糠醛转化率100.0%,2-甲基呋喃选择性最高为93.6%。反应稳定运行200 h后,糠醛转化率仍为100.0%,2-甲基呋喃选择性为80.0%,糠醇选择性为11.4%。     

Ordered Porous Nitrogen‐Doped Carbon Matrix with Atomically Dispersed Cobalt Sites as an Efficient Catalyst for Dehydrogenation and Transfer Hydrogenation of N‐Heterocycles

Single‐atom catalysts (SACs) have been explored widely as potential substitutes for homogeneous catalysts. Isolated cobalt single‐atom sites were stabilized on an ordered porous nitrogen‐doped carbon matrix (ISAS‐Co/OPNC). ISAS‐Co/OPNC is a highly efficient catalyst for acceptorless dehydrogenation of N‐heterocycles to release H₂. ISAS‐Co/OPNC also exhibits excellent catalytic activity for the reverse transfer hydrogenation (or hydrogenation) of N‐heterocycles to store H₂, using formic acid or external hydrogen as a hydrogen source. The catalytic performance of ISAS‐Co/OPNC in both reactions surpasses previously reported homogeneous and heterogeneous precious‐metal catalysts. The reaction mechanisms are systematically investigated using first‐principles calculations and it is suggested that the Eley–Rideal mechanism is dominant.     

In Situ Raman Monitoring and Manipulating of Interfacial Hydrogen Spillover by Precise Fabrication of Au/TiO2/Pt Sandwich Structures

The spillover of hydrogen species and its role in tuning the activity and selectivity in catalytic hydrogenation have been investigated in situ using surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with 10 nm spatial resolution through the precise fabrication of Au/TiO₂/Pt sandwich nanostructures. In situ SERS study reveals that hydrogen species can efficiently spillover at Pt‐TiO₂‐Au interfaces, and the ultimate spillover distance on TiO₂ is about 50 nm. Combining kinetic isotope experiments and density functional theory calculations, it is found that the hydrogen spillover proceeds via the water‐assisted cleavage and formation of surface hydrogen–oxygen bond. More importantly, the selectivity in the hydrogenation of the nitro or isocyanide group is manipulated by controlling the hydrogen spillover. This work provides molecular insights to deepen the understanding of hydrogen activation and boosts the design of active and selective catalysts for hydrogenation.     

Cu@UiO-66衍生的Cu+-ZrO2界面位点用于高效催化CO2加氢制甲醇

Cu/ZrO₂ catalysts have demonstrated effective in hydrogenation of CO₂ to methanol, during which the Cu-ZrO₂ interface plays a key role. Thus, maximizing the number of Cu-ZrO₂ interface active sites is an effective strategy to develop ideal catalysts. This can be achieved by controlling the active metal size and employing porous supports. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are valid candidates because of their rich, open-framework structures and tunable compositions. UiO-66 is a rigid metal-organic skeleton material with excellent hydrothermal and chemical stability that comprises Zr as the metal center and terephthalic acid (H₂BDC) as the organic ligand. Herein, porous UiO-66 was chosen as the ZrO₂ precursor, which can confine Cu nanoparticles within its pores/defects. As a result, we constructed a Cu-ZrO₂ nanocomposite catalyst with high activity for CO₂ hydrogenation to methanol. Many active interfaces could form when the catalysts were calcined at a moderate temperature, and the active interface was optimized by adjusting the calcination temperature and active metal size. Furthermore, the Cu-ZrO₂ interface remained after CO₂ hydrogenation to methanol, as confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), demonstrating the stability of the active interface. The catalyst structure and hydrogenation activity were influenced by the content of the active component and the calcination temperature; therefore, these parameters were explored to obtain an optimized catalyst. At 280 ℃ and 4.5 MPa, the optimized CZ-0.5-400 catalyst gave the highest methanol turnover frequency (TOF) of 13.4 h^-1 with a methanol space-time yield (STY) of 587.8 g·kg^-1·h^-1 (calculated per kilogram of catalyst, the same below), a CO₂ conversion of 12.6%, and a methanol selectivity of 62.4%. In situ diffuse-reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) of CO adsorption over the optimized catalyst revealed a predominant, unreducible Cu⁺ species that was also identified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The favorable activity observed was due to this abundant Cu⁺ species coming from the Cu⁺-ZrO₂ interface that served as the methanol synthesis active center and acted as a bridge for transporting hydrogen from the active Cu species to ZrO₂. In addition, the oxygen vacancies of ZrO₂ promoted the adsorption and activation of CO₂. These vacancies and Cu⁺ trapped in the ZrO₂ lattice are the active sites for methanol synthesis from CO₂ hydrogenation. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of the catalyst before and after reaction revealed the stability of its structure, which was further verified by time-on-stream (TOS) tests. Furthermore, in situ DRIFTS and temperature-programmed surface reaction-mass spectroscopy (TPSR-MS) revealed the reaction mechanism of CO₂ hydrogenation to methanol, which followed an HCOO-intermediated pathway.     

Easily Scalable Shell-Structured Copper Catalyst with High Activity and Durability for Carbon Dioxide Hydrogenation

Inducing strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) has been a useful way to control the structure of surface active sites. The SMSI often causes the encapsulation of metal particles with an oxide layer. Herein, an amorphous ceria shell was formed on Cu nanoparticles under a mild gas condition with high activity and durability for surface reaction. Cu−Ce solid solution promoted the transfer of surface oxygen species, which induced the ceria shell formation on Cu nanoparticles. This catalyst was used for CO₂ hydrogenation, selectively producing CO with high low-temperature activity and good durability for operation at high temperature. CO₂ activation and H₂ spillover could occur at low temperatures, enhancing the activity. The shell prevented the sintering, assuring durability. This catalyst was applied to a bench-scale reactor without loss in performance, resulting in high CO productivity in all temperature ranges.
