Pd-Cu/γ-Al2O3催化苯乙炔选择性加氢反应

为了提高苯乙炔加氢反应中的苯乙烯选择性, 本文采用“胶体-等体积浸渍”两步法制备了Pd-Cu/γ-Al₂O₃双金属催化剂. 利用高分辨率透射电镜(HRTEM)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、CO脉冲化学吸附、N2物理吸附、电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱(ICP-AES)等技术表征了Pd-Cu/γ-Al₂O₃的结构性质, 考察了Cu/Pd 摩尔比、Pd负载量以及金属引入顺序对Pd-Cu/γ-Al₂O₃催化苯乙炔选择性加氢性能的影响. 结果表明, 与Pd/γ-Al₂O₃单金属催化剂相比, Pd-Cu/γ-Al₂O₃的苯乙烯选择性大幅度提高, 尤其是当Pd负载量为0.3%(w), 且Cu/Pd摩尔比为0.6时, Pd-Cu/γ-Al₂O₃表现出优异的加氢选择性; 在0.1 MPa和40 ℃下, 当苯乙炔转化率为90%时, 双金属催化剂的苯乙烯选择性可达95%; 当转化率达到99%以上时, 苯乙烯选择性仍保持在82%左右. 分析表明, Pd-Cu/γ-Al₂O₃中形成了Pd-Cu合金, 但是两种金属间不存在电子转移, Cu对Pd的几何效应才是导致Pd-Cu/γ-Al₂O₃苯乙烯选择性增加的主要原因.     

O2和CN在铜活化闪锌矿(110)表面的吸附

采用基于密度泛函理论(DFT)的平面波赝势法模拟了O₂和CN分子在铜活化闪锌矿(110)表面的吸附. 结果表明: 铜活化后闪锌矿表面的铜原子3d轨道处于费米能级附近, 增强了闪锌矿表面的活性. 未活化闪锌矿表面不能吸附O₂, 活化后闪锌矿表面的铜原子和硫原子提供电子填入氧的反键π_2p^*轨道从而形成吸附键. CN分子吸附模拟表明, 铜活化增强了CN分子与闪锌矿表面的吸附作用. Cu原子d轨道与C原子反键p轨道作用形成反馈π键, 同时C原子s轨道与Cu原子sp轨道作用形成共价键; CN分子中N原子与闪锌矿表面S原子发生相互作用.     

Pd(111), Pd(100)及Pd(110)表面H2和O2直接合成H2O2的密度泛函理论研究

采用周期性密度泛函理论研究了H₂和O₂在Pd(111),Pd(100)及Pd(110)表面上直接合成H₂O₂的反应机理,对反应的主要基元步骤进行了计算和分析.结果表明,Pd(111)表面对H₂O₂直接合成的催化选择性最好,表面原子密度较低的Pd(100)表面和Pd(110)表面上含有O-O键的表面物种解离严重,不利于H₂O₂的生成.H₂O₂的选择性与含有O-O键表面物种的O-O键能和表面物种的结合能有关.含有O-O键的表面物种在表面的结合能越大,越容易发生解离,不利于形成H₂O₂.     

密度泛函理论研究NO在CuCr2O4(100)表面的吸附

运用密度泛函理论研究了NO在CuCr₂O₄(100)表面4个可能吸附位的顶位吸附。结果表明:表面铜(Cu)和铬(Cr)为活性吸附位，吸附能分别为98.1 kJ·mol^-1和92.9 kJ·mol^-1。对活性吸附位Cu位和Cr位考虑了NO以N端和O端2种吸附取向的吸附，发现N端吸附比O端吸附更为有利，O端吸附为简单的物理吸附。在2种吸附取向情况下，N-O键的伸缩振动频率都发生了红移。Mulliken布居分析表明，N端吸附时NO分子失去电子;对NO吸附前后的态密度分析可知，对Cu位和Cr位N端吸附NO的2π轨道得到电子。本文并进一步讨论了NO分子在CuCr₂O₄ (100)表面Cu位和Cr位的成键机理。     

Cu-MCM-41介孔分子筛中不同价态铜上的吸附性能研究

合成了不同铜含量的Cu-MCM-41，高温还原后仍具有良好的介孔结构。孔壁中的铜容易被H₂还原为Cu(0)。通过在氦气流中加热，可以导致孔壁中的Cu(II)还原为Cu(I)。MCM-41中不同价态的铜具有不同的吸附性能：Cu(0)强烈吸附O₂，吸附热高达427 kJ·mol^-1；Cu(I)在室温下几乎不吸附O₂，表明Cu(I)在室温下较稳定；而Cu(I)在对CO与C₂H₄的吸附中，除了CO的吸附热与Cu(0)的相近外，所生成的吸附热与吸附量均较高。红外光谱也表明，Cu(I)比Cu(0)更容易吸附CO与C₂H₄。C₂H₄仅仅以π-键键合在Cu(0)表面，而在Cu(I)表面上却是以di-σ和π-键键合，由于di-σ键较强，使得C₂H₄在Cu(I)上具有较高的吸附热。     

应用原位漫反射红外-质谱技术研究CuO/Al2O3催化剂表面酸性及其反应性能

应用原位漫反射红外-质谱联用、程序升温和暂态响应技术研究了CuO/Al₂O₃催化剂表面酸性及其反应性能. 实验结果表明, CuO/Al₂O₃催化剂表面呈Lewis酸性, 硫化不仅可增强CuO/Al₂O₃催化剂的Lewis酸性, 而且可产生新的Brønsted酸性位; 吸附于Lewis酸性位的NH₃具有选择性催化还原(SCR)活性. 而在硫化样Cu8(400S)中Lewis和Brønsted酸性位同时存在的情况下, 吸附于Lewis和Brønsted酸性位的氨均具有SCR活性, 且后者较前者弱; CuO/Al₂O₃催化剂上的SCR反应遵循Eley-Rideal机理, 即SCR反应发生于吸附态NH₃与气相NO之间.     

NO在Cu(111)表面吸附和分解的XPS和TPD研究：不同氧物种的影响

利用X射线光电子能谱和程序升温脱附谱研究了NO在清洁和预吸附氧的Cu(111)表面上的吸附和反应.通过改变NO的暴露量和退火温度,在Cu(111)表面可以制备出不同种类的化学吸附氧物种,其O 1s的结合能分别位于531.0 eV (O₅₃₁)和529.7 eV (O₅₂₉).表面O₅₃₁物种的存在对NO的不同吸附状态有着显著影响,同时使得大部分NO吸附分子(NO(a))在加热过程中发生分解并以N₂O和N₂形式脱附; 而表面O₅₂₉物种对NO(a)的解离脱附有着明显的抑制作用.相对于O₅₃₁物种来说,O₅₂₉物种对NO吸附表现出更强的位阻效应.上述结果表明,NO在Cu(111) 表面的吸附和分解行为与预吸附氧物种的种类和覆盖度密切相关.     

Ni2+在γ-Al2O3上的分散状态及负载型Ni/γ-Al2O3催化剂的α-蒎烯加氢活性

用X-射线衍射(XRD)、紫外-可见漫散射光谱(UV-Vis DRS)、程序升温还原(TPR)、CO化学吸附和微反测试等方法研究了Ni²⁺在γ-Al₂O₃上的分散状态和负载型Ni/γ-Al₂O₃催化剂的α-蒎烯加氢催化活性。结果表明，当Ni²⁺负载量远低于其在γ-Al₂O₃载体表面分散容量时，Ni²⁺优先嵌入载体表面四面体空位，随着Ni²⁺负载量的增加，嵌入载体表面八面体空位Ni²⁺的比例增大。由于八面体Ni²⁺易被还原为金属态Ni⁰，NiO/γ-Al₂O₃样品的还原度随Ni²⁺负载量的增加而大幅度地增加，经氢还原所得Ni/γ-Al₂O₃催化剂的CO吸附量和α-蒎烯加氢催化活性大幅度增加。对La₂O₃助剂的作用进行了研究，结果表明分散在γ-Al₂O₃上的La³⁺物种可阻止Ni²⁺嵌入γ-Al₂O₃表面四面体空位，增大了八面体Ni²⁺物种所占比例，提高了催化剂的还原度，故Ni-La₂O₃/γ-Al₂O₃催化剂催化活性高于Ni/γ-Al₂O₃催化剂。     

单原子Ge助剂修饰Cu(111)晶面上CO2加氢制甲醇的机理研究

针对CO₂热催化转化制甲醇过程中CO₂吸附、活化较困难及副产物较多的问题,提出采用单原子Ge助剂修饰Cu(111)晶面的解决思路,通过密度泛函理论(DFT)计算研究了CO₂在Ge-Cu(111)晶面上加氢合成甲醇的反应机理。结果表明,单原子Ge助剂的电子调控增加了与其相邻的 Cu 原子的电子云密度,使 CO₂分子在含 Ge 活性界面上的吸附能力显著增强:CO₂在 Ge-Cu(111)晶面上的吸附能约为Cu(111)晶面的1.5倍,约为Pd改性Cu(111)晶面的2.4倍,进而使逆水煤气变换(RWGS)反应路径速控步骤的活化能降低了近 20 kJ·mol^-1,同时衍生出 3条生成甲醇的 RWGS新路径;此外,Ge-Cu(111)晶面上甲酸盐路径由于速控步骤活化能大幅上升而被禁阻,进而CO及烃类等副产物选择性大幅降低,Ge-Cu(111)晶面上CO₂加氢制甲醇选择性升高。     

H2分子在LaFeO3表面吸附的第一性原理研究

基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理方法,通过计算表面能确定LaFeO₃(010)表面为最稳定的吸附表面,研究了H₂分子在LaFeO₃(010)表面的吸附性质。LaFeO₃(010)表面存在LaO和FeO₂两种终止表面,但吸附主要发生在FeO₂终止表面,由于LaFeO₃(010)表面弛豫的影响,使得凹凸不平的表面层增加了表面原子与H原子的接触面积,表面晶胞的纵向体积增加约2.5%,有利于H原子向晶体内扩散。研究发现,H₂分子在LaFeO₃(010)表面主要存在3种化学吸附方式:第一种吸附发生在O-O桥位,2个H原子分别吸附在2个O原子上,形成2个-OH基,这是最佳吸附位置,此时H原子与表面O原子的作用主要是H1s与O2p轨道杂化作用的结果,H-O之间为典型的共价键。H₂分子的解离能垒为1.542 eV,说明表面需要一定的热条件,H₂分子才会发生解离吸附;第二种吸附发生在Fe-O桥位,1个H原子吸附在O原子上形成1个-OH基,另一个H原子吸附在Fe原子上形成金属键;第三种吸附发生在O顶位,2个H原子吸附在同一个O原子上,形成H₂O分子,此时H₂O分子与表面形成物理吸附,H₂O分子逃离表面后容易形成氧空位。此外,H₂分子在LaFeO₃(010)表面还可以发生物理吸附。     

Pd/Cu(111)双金属表面催化糠醛脱碳及加氢的反应机理

采用密度泛函理论(DFT)研究糠醛在最稳定Pd/Cu(111)双金属表面上的吸附构型和糠醛脱碳及加氢的反应机理。结果表明,当糠醛初始吸附于O_3-Pd-top、O_7-Cu-hcp位时,吸附构型最稳定,其吸附能为73.4 kJ/mol。糠醛在Pd/Cu(111)双金属表面上更易发生脱碳反应。对于糠醛脱碳反应,所需活化能较低,各个基元反应均为放热反应,糠醛更易先失去支链上的H形成(C_4H_3O)CO,然后中间体脱碳加氢得到呋喃,其中,C_4H_3O加氢生成呋喃所需活化能(72.6 kJ/mol)最高,是反应的控速步骤。对于加氢反应,糠醛与首个氢原子的反应需要最大的活化能(290.4 kJ/mol),是反应的限速步骤。     

Studies of the roles of Sn or Fe on γ-Al2O3-supported Pt catalysts by CO adsorption microcalorimetry and dehydrogenation reaction of C4 alkanes

CO adsorption microcalorimetry was employed in the study of γ-Al₂O₃-supported Pt, Pt-Sn and Pt-Fe catalysts. The results indicated that the initial differential heat of CO adsorption of the Pt/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst was 125 kJ/mol. As CO coverage increased, the differential heat of adsorption decreased. At higher coverages, the differential heat of adsorption decreased significantly. 60% of the differential heat of CO adsorption on the Pt/γ-N₂O₃ catalyst was higher than 100 kJ/mol. No significant effect on the initial differential heat was found after adding Sn and Fe to the Pt/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst. The amount of strong CO adsorption sites decreased, while the portion of CO adsorption sites with differential heat of 60–110 kJ/mol increased after increasing the Sn or Fe content. This indicates that the surface adsorption energy was changed by adding Sn or Fe to Pt/γ-N₂O₃. The distribution of differential heat of CO adsorption on the Pt-Sn(C)/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst was broad and homogeneous. Comparison of the dehydrogenation performance of C₄ alkanes with the number of CO adsorption sites with differential heat of 60–110 kJ/mol showed a good correlation. These results indicate that the surface Pt centers with differential heats of 60–110 kJ/mol for CO adsorption possess superior activity for the dehydrogenation of alkanes.

Atom-molecule interactions on transition metal surfaces: a DFT Study of CO and several atoms on Rh(100), Pd(100) and Ir(100).

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed to determine the interaction energy between a CO probe molecule and all atoms from the first three rows of the periodic table coadsorbed on Rh(100), Pd(100) and Ir(100) metal surfaces. Varying the coverage of CO or the coadsorbed atom proved to have a profound effect on the strength of the interaction energy. The general trend, however, is the same in all cases: the interaction energy becomes more repulsive when moving towards the right along a row of elements, and reaches a maximum somewhere in the middle of a row of elements. The absolute value of the interaction energy between an atom-CO pair ranges from about -0.40 eV (39 kJ mol(-1)) attraction to +0.70 eV (68 kJ mol(-1)) repulsion, depending on the coadsorbate, the metal and the coverage. The general trend in interaction energies seems to be a common characteristic for several transition metals.     

Single Si atom supported on defective boron nitride nanosheet as a promising metal‐free catalyst for N2O reduction by CO or SO2 molecule: A computational study

The low‐temperature reduction of N₂O plays a significant role for solving the growing environmental and health issues caused by emission of this greenhouse gas. The aim of this study is to investigate the possible reaction pathways for the reduction of N₂O by CO or SO₂ molecule over Si‐doped boron nitride nanosheet (Si‐BNNS). According to our results, a B or N‐vacancy defect in BN sheet could be able to greatly stabilize the single Si adatom. The relatively large diffusion barrier for the Si atom over the defective BN sheet also indicates Si‐BNNS is stable enough to be utilized in catalytic reduction of N₂O. The large charge‐transfer from the surface to N₂O leads to the spontaneous dissociation of this molecule into N₂ molecule and an activated oxygen atom (O_ads). The O_ads moiety is then eliminated by CO or SO₂ molecule. The calculated activation energies and reaction energies reveal that the Si atom located on top of the B‐vacancy site has a large catalytic activity toward the reduction of N₂O by CO or SO₂.     

石墨烯中的单空位缺陷对铂原子催化解离氧分子的影响

采用密度泛函理论中的B3LYP方法研究了石墨烯中的单空位缺陷对铂原子(Pt)催化解离O_2分子的影响.计算发现O_2分子首先通过[2+1]或[2+2]环加成作用吸附在以单空位缺陷石墨烯为载体的Pt上(Pt-SV),并以不同的路径进行解离,吸附能分别为-158.23和-152.45kJ/mol.由于石墨烯片上单空位缺陷的存在,O_2分子更容易吸附在单空位缺陷处的Pt上,并且O_2在Pt-SV上解离的能垒(130.25kJ/mol)也明显比在Pt-pristine上解离的能垒低(76.23kJ/mol).因此石墨烯上单空位缺陷的存在提高增加了Pt的催化能力.     

Mechanisms of oxygen adsorption and desorption on polycrystalline palladium

The adsorption and desorption of oxygen on a polycrystalline palladium (Pd(poly)) surface (10-to 100-μm crystallites; ～32% (100), ～18% (111), ～34% (311), and ～15% (331)) at P _O2 ≤ 1.3 × 10^?5 Pa and T = 500–1300 K have been studied by TPD and mathematical modeling. The kinetics of O₂ adsorption and desorption on Pd(poly) are primarily governed by the formation and decomposition of oxygen adsorption structures on the (100) and (111) crystallite faces. The O₂ adsorption rate is constant at ? ≤ 0.15–0.25 owing to the formation of the p(2 × 2) structure with an O_ads-surface bonding energy of D(Pd-O) = 364 kJ/mol on the (100) and (111) faces. The adsorption rate decreases with increasing coverage at ? ≥ 0.15–0.25 because of the growth, on the (100) face, of the c(2 × 2) structure, in which D(Pd-O) is reduced to 324 kJ/mol by lateral interactions in the adsorption layer. A high-temperature (～800 K) O₂ desorption peak is observed for ? ≤ 0.25, which is due to O₂ desorption from a disordered adsorption layer according to a second-order rate law with an activation energy of E _des = 230 kJ/mol. A lower temperature (～700 K) O₂ desorption peak is observed for ? ≥ 0.25, which is due to O₂ released by the c(2 × 2) structure according to a first-order rate law with E _des = 150 kJ/mol. At ? ≥ 0.25, there are repulsive interactions between O_ads atoms on Pd(poly) (ε_aa = 5–10 kJ/mol).     

Comparison of CO2 Reduction Performance with NH3 and H2O between Cu/TiO2 and Pd/TiO2

The aim of this study is to clarify the effect of doped metal type on CO₂ reduction characteristics of TiO₂ with NH₃ and H₂O. Cu and Pd have been selected as dopants for TiO₂. In addition, the impact of molar ratio of CO₂ to reductants NH₃ and H₂O has been investigated. A TiO₂ photocatalyst was prepared by a sol-gel and dip-coating process, and then doped with Cu or Pd fine particles by using the pulse arc plasma gun method. The prepared Cu/TiO₂ film and Pd/TiO₂ film were characterized by SEM, EPMA, TEM, STEM, EDX, EDS and EELS. This study also has investigated the performance of CO₂ reduction under the illumination condition of Xe lamp with or without ultraviolet (UV) light. As a result, it is revealed that the CO₂ reduction performance with Cu/TiO₂ under the illumination condition of Xe lamp with UV light is the highest when the molar ratio of CO₂/NH₃/H₂O = 1:1:1 while that without UV light is the highest when the molar ratio of CO₂/NH₃/H₂O = 1:0.5:0.5. It is revealed that the CO₂ reduction performance of Pd/TiO₂ is the highest for the molar ratio of CO₂/NH₃/H₂O = 1:1:1 no matter the used Xe lamp was with or without UV light. The molar quantity of CO per unit weight of photocatalyst for Cu/TiO₂ produced under the illumination condition of Xe lamp with UV light was 10.2 μmol/g, while that for Pd/TiO₂ was 5.5 μmol/g. Meanwhile, the molar quantity of CO per unit weight of photocatalyst for Cu/TiO₂ produced under the illumination condition of Xe lamp without UV light was 2.5 μmol/g, while that for Pd/TiO₂ was 3.5 μmol/g. This study has concluded that Cu/TiO₂ is superior to Pd/TiO₂ from the viewpoint of the molar quantity of CO per unit weight of photocatalyst as well as the quantum efficiency.

A DFT study of DMC formation on Rh‐doped Cu/AC surfaces

The activity and selectivity of heterogeneous catalysts can be significantly improved by dispersion of another active component in the metal substrate. The impact of Rh promoter on the formation of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) via oxidative carbonylation of methanol on Cu–Rh/AC (activated carbon) catalyst was investigated by density functional theory calculations. The most stable configurations of reacting species (CO, OH, CH₃O, monomethyl carbonate, and DMC) adsorbed on the Cu⁰(zero‐valent copper)/AC and Cu–Rh/AC surfaces were determined on the basis of the calculated results. The reaction energy and activation energy of the rate‐limiting steps on the Cu–Rh/AC and Cu⁰/AC surfaces were compared. The activation energies of the rate‐limiting step of CO insertion into dimethoxide are 206.3 and 304.8 kJ mol^?1 on the Cu–Rh/AC and Cu⁰/AC surfaces, respectively. The activation energies of the rate‐limiting step of CO insertion into methoxide are 78.5 and 92.7 kJ/mol on the Cu–Rh/AC and Cu⁰/AC surfaces, respectively. The calculated results indicate that the addition of Rh atom has a significant effect on decreasing the active energy the main pathway for DMC formation. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Kinetics of low temperature CO oxidation over Pt/SnO2 catalyst

In a CO−O₂ stoichiometric mixture, the kinetic parameters, reaction order, rate constant and activation energy of CO oxidation over a Pt/SnO₂ catalyst have been measured using a fixed bed flow reactor near 0°C. The results show that it is a first-order reaction. The activation energy of CO oxidation over Pt/SnO₂ prepared with SnO₂ calcined at 300°C was approximately 21 kJ/mol. The activation energy of CO oxidation over Pt/SnO₂ changed slowly with SnO₂ calcination temperature above 400°C, and reached approximately 45 kJ/mol.
