采用超临界干燥法和等体积浸渍法制备了不同Ni/Cu比例的Ni-Cu/SiO₂双金属催化剂,利用ICP、BET、XRD、H₂-TPR、H₂-TPD、NH₃-TPD等手段对催化剂进行了结构表征,考察了不同Ni/Cu比例对催化剂结构以及1,4-丁炔二醇加氢性能的影响.结果表明,少量Cu的引入不仅能够提高Ni活性物种的分散性,而且Ni-Cu双金属间的相互作用改善了NiO物种的还原性能及氢活化能力,有利于氢和1,4-丁炔二醇在活性位点的快速转化.在反应温度50℃,氢压1 MPa,反应时间3 h的加氢评价条件下,Ni/Cu比为3：1时,15Ni5Cu/SiO₂催化材料不仅可以实现BYD的完全转化,而且能够有效降低难分离副产物2-羟基四氢呋喃的含量,具有最优的加氢活性和对1,4-丁烯二醇及1,4-丁二醇的选择性.     

Y修饰CuO/ZrO_2催化剂高效催化水煤气变换反应制氢

采用水热法制备了具有不同Y掺杂量的单分散ZrO_2纳米粒子(n(Y)/n(Y+Zr)=0-5%),并以其为载体采用沉积-沉淀法制得CuO/ZrO_2催化剂;考察了富氢气氛下上述催化剂的水煤气变换反应(WGS)催化性能。结果表明,掺杂Y后催化剂的活性明显提高,其中,载体掺杂2%Y的催化剂具有最佳的催化活性,在270℃时的CO转化率高达91.4%,明显高于研究较多的CuO/ZnO和CuO/CeO_2催化剂。X射线粉末衍射、N_2物理吸附-脱附、N_2O滴定、扫描电镜和CO程序升温还原等表征结果表明,Y~(3+)掺入了ZrO_2的晶格并对催化剂的结构和还原性能产生直接影响。Y助剂的引入一方面促进了CuO在ZrO_2表面的分散,提高了催化剂表面活性Cu-[O]-Zr物种的含量;另一方面,改善了催化剂的颗粒单分散性和织构性能。载体掺杂2%Y助剂的样品具有较高的Cu-[O]-Zr物种含量、较佳的颗粒单分散性和织构性能,且其表面的Cu-[O]-Zr物种和活性羟基具有较佳的还原性能,因而表现出较高的催化活性     

CuO/ZrO_2催化水煤气变换反应制氢:ZrO_2载体焙烧温度的影响

以经不同温度(120、250、350、450℃)焙烧处理的ZrO_2为载体,采用沉积-沉淀法制备了系列CuO/ZrO_2催化剂;考察了富氢气氛下催化剂的水煤气变换反应(WGS)催化性能。结果表明,CuO/ZrO_2催化剂的催化活性随ZrO_2载体焙烧温度的升高呈现先升高后降低的"火山型"变化趋势,在焙烧温度为250℃时取得最高值。采用X射线粉末衍射、N_2物理吸附-脱附、N_2O滴定、H_2程序升温还原和CO程序升温还原及质谱跟踪等技术研究了系列ZrO_2载体及CuO/ZrO_2催化剂的结构和还原性能。结果表明,随着ZrO_2焙烧温度的升高,一方面,CuO/ZrO_2催化剂的Cu分散度逐渐降低,与ZrO_2具有强相互作用的高分散活性Cu-[O]-Zr物种("[]"表示ZrO_2表面氧空位)逐渐减少;另一方面,Cu-[O]-Zr物种的还原能力逐渐增强,并诱导催化剂活性表面羟基的还原能力也相应增强(CO为还原剂),即降低了催化剂对WGS反应的起活温度。两方面的综合作用使得ZrO_2载体焙烧温度为250℃(中等温度)时,CuO/ZrO_2催化剂的WGS催化活性最高。

金单原子催化剂上一氧化碳低温氧化

CO低温氧化对于基础研究和实际应用均具有重要意义.自上世纪八十年代日本的 Haruta教授发现氧化物负载金催化剂对 CO氧化的超高活性以来,负载金催化剂受到了广泛关注与深入研究,被认为是目前活性最高的 CO氧化催化剂.在诸多影响 CO氧化活性的因素中,纳米金的粒子尺寸是最重要因素之一.目前主流观点认为对于 CO氧化,纳米金有一个最优尺寸范围,在0.5–5 nm,而 Au原子/离子(Au3+, Au+)的活性则低一到两个数量级.因此,一般认为负载金单原子催
　　化剂对于 CO氧化反应的活性要比金纳米粒子和团簇低很多.然而,最近几年的理论与实验研究均表明,金单原子负载于合适的载体上可以显示出与金纳米粒子和团簇相当的活性.本文对这些新进展进行综述,阐述金单原子催化剂对 CO氧化的独特反应性能. Gates教授研究组进行了大量关于正价金对 CO氧化影响的研究,其中包括孤立的金原子(Au+).他们的研究发现, CO氧化活性随价态降低而降低,表明正价金对 CO氧化至关重要.此外,他们的研究也表明,孤立金原子对 CO氧化的活性(TOF)比金纳米粒子低一到两个数量级.然而,在他们的研究中,有几个因素可能导致催化剂的低活性.首先,他们一般采用非或弱还原性的载体.而载体的还原性对金催化剂上 CO氧化活性影响非常巨大.另外,他们所用的金原子前驱体为配合物,在催化剂制备与反应过程中配体并没有去除,可能也是导致催化剂活性低的原因之一.与此相反,张涛课题组近期采用氯金酸为前驱体,通过简单的吸附浸渍法制备了一系列负载金单原子催化剂.同时用相同的载体制备了负载金纳米粒子催化剂进行对比,可以排除载体等其它影响因素.对比结果显示,单原子催化剂均显示出与纳米粒子相当的 TOF(单位表面 Au原子)和更高的反应速率(单位重量金).首先制备了氧化铁负载金单原子催化剂,该催化剂在室温即展现出可观活性, TOF值与2–3 nm金粒子 TOF值相当(~0.5 s–1).更有趣也更重要的是,该催化剂在高温(200oC以上)展现出非常高的反应稳定性,在200oC反应100 h无失活.在300和400oC反应50 h也无失活发生,为开发高温稳定的金催化剂提供了新途径.其次制备了氧化钴负载金单原子催化剂,该催化剂以0.05%金负载量即可实现室温全转化,其 TOF值高达1.4 s–1.然而该催化剂在达到高活性之前必须首先在反应气氛中进行高温处理,这限制了其实用性.此外,催化剂需经反应气氛活化的原因尚待进一步研究.随之又制备了氧化铈负载金单原子催化剂,对富氢条件下 CO选择氧化不仅具有高活性,而且具有极高的 CO选择性.进一步研究结合理论计算表明,高选择性来自氧化铈负载的金单原子不能解离活化氢,对于氢气氧化活性极低,从而导致 CO氧化的高选择性.理论研究方面也有进展. Camellone等计算发现金原子可以取代 CeO2(111)面上的 Ce原子形成 Au+并促进 CO氧化.然而该金原子会扩散至氧空位形成带负电荷的 Auδ-,阻止 CO和 O2吸附,因而使催化剂失活.李隽课题组利用从头算分子动力学模拟首次发现氧化铈和氧化钛负载的 Au纳米粒子在 CO氧化过程中可以形成单原子的现象,并将之称为动态单原子催化剂. Yang等则计算了二维材料 BN负载 Au单原子催化 CO氧化并发现反应优先通过三原子 E-R机理进行.     

Oxygen-deficient titania as alternative support for Pt catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction

Insufficient electrochemical stability is a major challenge for carbon materials in oxygen reduction reaction （ORR） due to carbon corrosion and insufficient metal-support interactions. In this work, titania is explored as an alternative support for Pt catalysts. Oxygen deficient titania samples including TiO2-x and TiO2_xNy were obtained by thermal treatment of anatase TiO2 under flowing H2 and NH3, respectively. Pt nanoparticles were deposited on the titania by a modified ethylene glycol method. The samples were characterized by N2-physisorption, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The ORR activity and long-term stability of supported Pt catalysts were evaluated using linear sweep voltammetry and chronoamperometry in 0.1 mol/L HC104. Pt/TiO2_x and Pt/TiO2_xNy showed higher ORR activities than Pt/TiO2 as indicated by higher onset potentials. Oxygen deficiency in TiO2-x and TiO2-xNy contributed to the high ORR activity due to enhanced charge transfer, as disclosed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy studies. Electrochemical stability studies revealed that Pt/TiOE_x exhibited a higher stability with a lower current decay rate than commercial Pt/C, which can be attributed to the stable oxide support and strong interaction between Pt nanoparticles and the oxygen-deficient TiO2-x support.     

Influence of iron oxide support preparation method on the properties of Ru/Fe2O3 catalysts for water-gas shift reaction

Studies were undertaken of phase transitions of iron oxide obtained from iron oxide-hydroxides of type α-, β-, γ- and δ-FeOOH, and used as a support of ruthenium catalysts Ru/Fe₂O₃, employed in the water-gas shift reaction. In asprepared pure supports and ruthenium catalysts the main phase was α-Fe₂O₃. After use in the water-gas shift reaction, the support showed the presence of different phases of iron oxide. The most active Ru/Fe₂O₃ catalysts prepared on the basis of α- and δ-FeOOH, after use in the water-gas shift reaction, revealed the presence of Fe₃O₄ or a mixture of phases Fe₃O₄ and γ-Fe₂O₃. The least active catalysts, prepared on the basis of β- and γ-FeOOH, contained a solid solution of Fe₃O₄-γ-Fe₂O₃ with traces of α-Fe₂O₃.     

In situ FT-IR study on CO2 hydrogenation over SiO2-supported PtM (M = Cr, Mo, W) complex catalysts

The in situ FT-IR spectra were used to study the CO₂ hydrogenation reaction over the SiO₂-supported heterobinuclear metal complex catalysts, PtM (M=Cr, Mo, W). The bands, which correspond to the formate species absorbed on the catalysts, were observed. During the hydrogenation reactions, the adsorbed linear and bridging CO was not observed. The experimental results suggest that for the CO₂ and CO hydrogenation reaction over the same catalysts, their catalytic active intermediate species and the reaction mechanisms should be different.     

ZnO逆修饰小尺寸Cu/SiO2催化剂及其在CO2加氢制甲醇中的应用

Cu-ZnO is broadly used as a catalyst in CO₂ reduction to produce methanol, but fabricating small-sized Cu-ZnO catalysts with strong Cu-ZnO interactions remains a challenge. In this work, a simple, low-cost method is proposed to synthesize small-sized Cu-ZnO/SiO₂ with high activity and controllable Cu-ZnO interactions derived from copper silicate nanotubes. A series of Cu-ZnO/SiO₂ samples with different amounts of ZnO were prepared. The activities of the as-prepared catalysts for methanol synthesis were tested, and the results revealed a volcano relationship with the weight fraction of ZnO. At 523 K, the methanol selectivity increased from 20% to 67% when 14% ZnO was added to the Cu/SiO₂ catalyst, while the conversion of CO₂ increased first and then decreased with the addition of ZnO. The optimum space time yield (STY) of 244 g·kg^-1·h^-1 was obtained on C-SiO₂-7%ZnO at 543 K under 4.5 MPa H₂/CO₂. Furthermore, the synergistic effect of Cu and ZnO was studied by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), in situ diffuse-reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) analyses. The HRTEM images showed that the Cu particles come in contact with ZnO more frequently with increased addition of ZnO, indicating that the catalysts with higher ZnO contents have a greater probability of formation of the Cu-ZnO interface, which promotes the catalytical activity of Cu-ZnO/SiO₂. Meanwhile, the HRTEM images, XRD patterns, and TPR results showed that the addition of excess ZnO leads to an increase in the size of the Cu particles, which in turn decreases the total number of active sites and further degrades the activity of the catalysts. The activation energy (E_a) for methanol synthesis and reverse water gas shift (RWGS) was calculated based on the results of the catalytical test. With the addition of ZnO, E_a for methanol synthesis decreased from 72.5 to 34.8 kJ·mol^-1, while that for RWGS increased from 61.3 to 102.7 kJ·mol^-1, illustrating that ZnO promotes the synergistic effect of Cu-ZnO. The results of XPS and in situ DRIFTS showed that the amount of Cu⁺ species decreases with the addition of ZnO, indicating that the Cu-ZnO interface serves as the active site. The Cu surface area and the turnover frequency (TOF) of methanol were calculated based on the H₂-TPR curves. The TOF of methanol on the Cu-ZnO/SiO₂ catalysts at 543 K increased from 1.5 × 10^-3 to 3.9 × 10^-3 s^-1 with the addition of ZnO, which further confirmed the promotion effect of the Cu-ZnO interface on the methanol synthesis. This study provides a method to construct Cu-ZnO interfaces based on copper silicate and to investigate the influence of ZnO on Cu-ZnO/SiO₂ catalysts.     

NaBH4处理LaCuZnX(X=Zr、Al、Zr+Al)(类)钙钛矿型催化剂及其CO2加氢合成甲醇性能的研究

采用共沉淀法分别制备了不同F-T组分(Fe、Co、Ni)改性的KCuZrO_2催化剂,并用于催化CO加氢合成异丁醇。通过BET、XRD、TEM、XPS、H_2-TPR、CO-TPD以及in-situ DRIFTS对催化剂进行了表征。结果显示,F-T组分的加入促进了乙醇和丙醇的形成,但是对异丁醇选择性影响不同。结果表明,Fe促进了催化剂中各组分的分散,活性组分Cu在催化剂表面发生了富集,提高了H_2/CO活化吸附;另外,KFeCuZrO_2的催化剂表面含有较多的C_1物种,有利于乙醇和丙醇进一步发生β-加成反应得到异丁醇,而Co和Ni改性的催化剂上缺少足够的C_1物种,因此,异丁醇的选择性并未明显增加。Co的引入对催化剂结构以及Cu的分散影响不大,但是Co改性后催化剂性能有所下降,其原因是催化剂发生了失活;Ni添加后催化剂比表面积有所减小,且催化剂表面Cu/Zr物质的量比也降低到0.19,催化剂粒径增大,Cu-Zr之间相互作用减弱,异丁醇选择性降低。     

MoO_x促进的Pt基催化剂用于低温水汽变换反应(英文)

Metal-Support interaction in Silica-Supported Cobalt Catalyst

The variations in catalytic properties for CO hydrogenation and adsorptive properties for H₂ and CO of silica-supported cobalt catalyst as a function of reduction temperature (400 to 700 °C) were investigated. A mild sintering of cobalt metal from 130 Å to 145 Å occurred only when the reduction temperature was further increased from 600 to 700 °C. However, a monotone decrease in the activity (per gram Co) for CO hydrogenation was observed with increasing reduction temperature. This is accompanied with a decrease in methane and an increase in olefin formation. The decrease in activity can not be accounted for by the variation of crystallite size of cobalt metal. A concurrent suppression in the amount of hydrogen and CO adsorptions was observed after reduction temperature was raised to 700 °C. The turnover frequencies, based on cobalt dispersion estimated from H₂ and CO chemisorption, remained, more or less, similar with increasing reduction temperature from 400 to 600 °C, but increased ca. 3 and 1.5 times, respectively, at 700 °C. The relative amount of subcarbonyl species (2062 cm^?1) with respect to the linear adsorbed CO (2010 cm^?1) was found to increase as well. Furthermore, reduction of silica surface at 700 °C was indicated by the presence of ?Si-H, which was detected by infrared spectroscopy at 2294 cm^?1. This shows the presence of metal-support interaction for silica-supported cobalt systems after reduction treatment at 700 °C.     

Step-by-step synthesis of copper(I) complex supported on platinum nanoparticle-decorated mesoporous silica hollow spheres and its remarkable catalytic performance in Sonogashira coupling reaction

In this study, a step-by-step method for the synthesis of platinum nanoparticles and copper(I) complex supported on mesoporous silica hollow spheres (Pt-MSHSs-Cu) is introduced. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption–desorption, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and elemental and thermogravimetric analyses were applied for characterization of the surface, structure, size, phase composition, and morphology of the synthesized materials. The characterized material, Pt-MSHSs-Cu, was used as an efficient and heterogeneous catalyst in the Sonogashira coupling reaction under different reaction conditions. In comparison with MSHSs, Cu(I)-functionalized MSHSs (MSHSs-Cu), and Pt-MSHSs samples, the Pt-MSHSs-Cu catalyst exhibited significantly increased catalytic performance with 91.50% yield. Therefore, the results obtained suggested a synergistic effect derived from platinum nanoparticles, MSHSs substrate, and copper(I) complex, which enhanced the rate of the Sonogashira coupling reaction.

Characterization and performance of Cu/ZnO/Al_2O_3 catalysts prepared via decomposition of M(Cu,Zn)-ammonia complexes under sub-atmospheric pressure for methanol synthesis from H_2 and CO_2

Methanol synthesis from hydrogenation of CO2 is investigated over Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts prepared by decomposition of M(Cu,Zn)-ammonia complexes (DMAC) at various temperatures.The catalysts were characterized in detail,including X-ray diffraction,N2 adsorption-desorption,N2O chemisorption,temperature-programmed reduction and evolved gas analyses.The influences of DMAC temperature,reaction temperature and specific Cu surface area on catalytic performance are investigated.It is considered that the aurichalcite phase in the precursor plays a key role in improving the physiochemical properties and activities of the final catalysts.The catalyst from rich-aurichalcite precursor exhibits large specific Cu surface area and high space time yield of methanol (212 g/(Lcat·h);T=513 K,p=3MPa,SV=12000 h-1).     

Underevaluated Solvent Effects in Electrocatalytic CO2 Reduction by FeIII Chloride Tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin

Fe^III chloride tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin ( 1 ) is known to have poor electrocatalytic activity for the CO₂-to-CO conversion in dimethylformamide. In this work, we re-examined Fe porphyrin 1 as a CO₂ reduction catalyst in various solvents. Our results show that 1 displays fairly high electrocatalytic CO₂-to-CO activity in acetonitrile with a turnover frequency (TOF) up to 4.2×10⁴ s⁻¹. On the other hand, 1 shows a modest activity in propylene carbonate, and is inefficient to catalyze CO₂ reduction in benzonitrile, dimethylformamide, and tetrahydrofuran. Several solvent effects were considered, but none of these effects alone can explain the observed large activity difference of 1 for CO₂ reduction in these solvents. Based on the results, it is suggested that more care should be paid when comparing different CO₂ reduction catalysts because solvent effects are significant and are underevaluated.     

Artificial Photosynthesis(AP): from Molecular Catalysts to Heterogeneous Materials

The development of green and renewable energy sources is in high demand due to energy shortage and productivity development. Artificial photosynthesis(AP) is one of the most effective ways to address the energy shortage and the greenhouse effect by converting solar energy into hydrogen and other carbon-based high value-added products through the understanding of the mechanism, structural analysis, and functional simulation of natural photosynthesis. In this review, the development of AP from natural catalysts to artificial catalysts is described, and the processes of oxygen production, hydrogen production, and carbon fixation are sorted out to understand the properties and correlations of the core functional components in natural photosynthesis, to provide a better rational design and optimization for further development of advanced heterogeneous materials.     

Diels-Alder reaction using a dendritic copper(II) triflate-catalyst: a positive dendritic effect on the chemical yield

A series of dendritic ligands with a 2,2′-bipyridine core was synthesized through the coupling of 4,4′-dihydroxy-2,2′-bipyridine with poly(arylether) dendron in fair yields. The corresponding copper(II) trifluoromethanesulfonate (triflate) dendrimers were applied as a Lewis acid catalyst to the Diels-Alder reaction. A positive dendritic effect on the chemical yields of adducts was observed.     

Ligand-assisted Hydride Transfer: A Pivotal Step for CO2 Hydroboration Catalyzed by a Mononuclear Mn(I) PNP Complex

A mononuclear Mn(I) pincer complex [Mn(Ph₂PCH₂SiMe₂)₂NH(CO)₂Br] was disclosed to catalyze the pinacolborane (HBpin)-based CO₂ hydroboration reaction. Density functional calculations were conducted to reveal the reaction mechanism. The calculations showed that the reaction mechanism could be divided into four stages: (1) the addition of HBpin to the unsaturated catalyst C1 ; (2) the reduction of CO₂ to HCOOBpin; (3) the reduction of HCOOBpin to HCHO; (4) the reduction of HCHO to CH₃OBpin. The activation of HBpin is the ligand-assisted addition of HBpin to the unsaturated Mn(I)-N complex C1 generated by the elimination of HBr from the Mn(I) pincer catalyst. The sequential substrate reductions share a common mechanism, and every hydroboration commences with the nucleophilic attack of the Mn(I)-H to the electron-deficient carbon centers. The hydride transfer from Mn(I) to HCOOBpin was found to be the rate-limiting step for the whole catalytic reaction, with a total barrier of 27.0 kcal/mol, which fits well with the experimental observations at 90 °C. The reactivity trend of CO₂, HCOOBpin, HCHO, and CH₃OBpin was analyzed through both thermodynamic and kinetic analysis, in the following order, namely HCHO>CO₂>HCOOBpin≫CH₃OBpin. Importantly, the very high barrier for the reduction of CH₃OBpin to form CH₄ reconciles with the fact that methane was not observed in this catalytic reaction.
